Memories of Murder (The Hwaseong Serial Murders)| South Korea

Episode 148,   Jul 11, 2021, 09:30 PM

Police feared the Hwaseong Serial Murders would never be solved. Then DNA evidence pointed to a man who had been in prison for 15 years.

This week we explore the second case in our Blockbuster series. Before Academy Award-winning film Parasite, director Bong Joon Ho made Memories of Murder, inspired by the 1986-1991 Hwaseong Serial Murders. The film was released in 2003, with the hope of keeping the unsolved case alive. More than 30 years after the first murder, DNA evidence pointed to a man who was already in prison, serving a life sentence for killing his sister-in-law.
