299: He Waited in the Shadows… and Women Never Came Home

from Lights Out · host Mile Higher Media & Audioboom Studios

In the 1980s, the rural community of Hwaseong, South Korea, was gripped by fear as a serial rapist and murderer terrorized the area. Over the course of five years, ten women and girls were brutally attacked in the small villages of Hwaseong. For more than thirty years, the case remained unsolved, amplifying public mistrust in law enforcement. Innocent people were imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit, while families mourned without answers. It wasn’t until 2019 that the real killer was finally identified, and police realized he was hiding in plain sight all along.Quince - https://www.quince.com/lightsoutOmaha Steaks - https://www.omahasteaks.com - Use Code: LIGHTSOUTSmalls - https://www.smalls.com/lightsoutFollow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: [email protected]: https://lightsoutcast.shop/Request A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: [email protected]: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/YsWdiLpv
