Volunteer King (Case of Park Nam-hee)

Mimi Mizicko
About this episode

In 2006, Park Nam-hee vanished without a trace. For two years, her government disability benefits were quietly withdrawn each month. No one reported her missing. It wasn’t until 2011 that her dismembered remains were discovered inside a handcart abandoned less than a block from her home. The suspect was a man praised as a volunteer "king", a charitable caretaker, and a reformed convict. But the truth may never be known.
