A South Korean police officer at the centre of a missing-persons scandal on Jeju Island has become the subject of a far darker internet theory: is Officer Bu a serial killer?
The speculation intensified after two people whose cases he allegedly closed were later found dead. Bu, a lieutenant in his mid-30s, is accused of falsely claiming he contacted missing people and falsifying police records. Investigators have not publicly linked him to any killings, but the case has prompted online detectives to question what else may have happened.
