韩国济州岛近日发现4名失踪人员的遗体，引发公众对警方涉嫌处理失踪案件不当的强烈批评 1。其中包括5月失踪的37岁女子张美兰，以及一名于6月28日失踪、遗体在周六被发现的60多岁男子 1。针对此案，一名姓傅的警长因涉嫌向受害者家属撒谎及过早结案已被逮捕，其指挥链上的4名上级警官也已被行政停职 1。
调查细节显示，傅警长涉嫌在未确认张美兰下落的情况下过早结案，并据称向其男友谎称已与其通电话且女方不愿联系 1。在另一起案件中，他据称告知60多岁失踪男子的家属，该男子已被找到且“安全”，但“不愿向家属透露其位置” 1。目前，警方正在全面审查傅警长经手的近300份失踪人员报告 1。
此次丑闻促使韩国高层采取严厉措施，总统李在明于周二下令对警察部队进行全面改革 1。他在周二的内阁会议上表示：“近期警察纪律的崩溃和公共安全事务中的不负责任已成为严重问题” 1。韩国国家警察厅长则在周一的紧急国会听证会上承认“系统存在缺陷” 1。背景数据显示，韩国每年有超过7万名成年人报告失踪，其中99%在一个月内被标记为已解决；此外，济州岛去年共接待了超过1300万名国内外游客 1。
Four bodies have been found on the South Korean holiday island of Jeju, sparking intense public criticism over alleged police mishandling of missing persons cases 1. The bodies include 37-year-old Jang Mi-ran, who went missing in May, and a man in his 60s who went missing on June 28 and was found on Saturday 1. A police sergeant surnamed Bu has been arrested for allegedly lying to victims' families and prematurely closing missing persons cases, and four officers in his chain of command have been put on administrative leave 1. President Lee Jae Myung ordered a sweeping reform of the police force on Tuesday 1.
Bu is suspected of closing Jang's case prematurely without confirming her whereabouts 1. He allegedly told Jang's boyfriend that he had spoken to Jang over the phone and she did not wish to speak to him 1. For the man in his 60s, Bu reportedly told the family that he was found "safe" but "does not wish to disclose his location to the family" 1. Police are examining nearly 300 missing persons reports handled by Bu 1.
During a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, President Lee said that "the recent breakdown in police discipline and irresponsibility in public safety matters have become serious problems" 1. South Korea's national police chief admitted at an emergency National Assembly hearing on Monday that "there is a fault in the system" 1. Jeju received more than 13 million foreign and domestic visitors last year 1. More than 70,000 adults are reported missing in South Korea each year, with 99% marked as resolved within a month 1.
