Unlike the police, who initially viewed Jang Yoon-gi only on charges of murder, the prosecution has concluded that Jang originally intended to kidnap a high school girl to commit a sex crime. SBS program "Unanswered Questions" has obtained footage that supports this conclusion.

A white SUV is seen moving.

The vehicle stops briefly in an alley, circles the area, and then moves through various alleys.

This is footage of Jang Yoon-gi following the victim just before committing the crime.

After getting out of the car, Jang also looked around as if searching for someone.

After stalking the victim for about 15 minutes, Jang parked the car at the scene of the crime and stepped out. At this moment, a white object was captured on the dashcam of a cargo truck parked in front of Jang's vehicle.

Based on the evidence, the prosecution has determined that this white object was the rear door of Jang's vehicle, which he had left open toward the sidewalk.

[Kim Jin-hee, Chief Prosecutor at Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office: There is an investigative report stating that Jang Yoon-gi is captured moving near the passenger seat, and shortly after, an unidentified white object appears. Since the car was parked toward the sidewalk, we believe he opened the door on the sidewalk side and left it ajar.]

During questioning, Jang claimed that if he had intended to kidnap the victim, he would have opened the car door in advance and subdued her before passing the vehicle to load her inside. However, the prosecution believes that Jang acted exactly as he described in his statement in order to commit a sex crime.

Additionally, images of two real dolls, which were personally collected and discarded by Jang's father, a police inspector surnamed Jang, from the suspect's residence, have been released.

Based on these investigative findings, the prosecution has upgraded the charges against Jang Yoon-gi from murder to rape and murder.
