Accusations of a sloppy investigation from inside whistleblower
Brought in Jeong for questioning three times but let him go in the early stages
“At the time, Jeong was not home for five days, and the police also received information that he had attempted to sexually assault women in the neighborhood. Jeong was a possible suspect from the beginning,” the e-mail said. “However, the police just trusted Jeong’s claim that he worked as a substitute driver on the day the kids went missing. The police didn’t even cross-check with his employer to confirm he had actually worked that day.”
