The last photo from the roll: the killer of Yeosu

from True Crime Bloodlines · host Obomedia Network

The last photo from the reel: the killer of Yeosu: The serial murder of Kim and Chu in the waters of South KoreaA camera captured the face of the killer seconds before two young tourists were murdered in open waters. That image remained hidden for weeks while the police closed the case as an accident. How did a seventy-year-old fisherman execute four perfect crimes without leaving a trace until a victim sent an emergency message from the boat?In this episode, we explore the contradictions that dismantled a failed investigation: the initial denial of the fisherman that turned into fatal acceptance, the identical fractures in four victims that the autopsy could not explain, and the port record that revealed only one boat was in the water on the day of the second double murder. We uncover how the premature closure of the case cost two additional lives and how an unchecked reel ended up condemning the oldest criminal in South Korea to death.Victims: Kim and Chu Date: August 31, 2007 Location: Yeosu Beach, South Korea Status: Sentenced to death - A photo unknowingly taken by the victim captured the face of the killer steering the boat into open waters. - The police interpreted a security camera clip as suicide and closed the case, leaving the killer free for four more weeks. - An emergency text message sent from the boat was the only real-time evidence of the modus operandi. - Woo Jun-gwan, seventy years old, executed four murders with a fishing hook without ever providing a coherent explanation.
