South Korea hands police more power even as dead bodies expose the lies

South Korean authorities recently uncovered the body of Jang Mi-ran, 37, on a Jeju Island farm, three months after she disappeared in May. Police records indicated her case had been closed without confirmation of her status. This discovery followed the finding of skeletal remains of a man in his sixties, whose family had alerted police to his suicidal statements. These incidents highlight concerns about police handling of missing persons cases. The article does not mention any new powers granted to the police.
