A car belonging to the family of missing 10-year-old schoolgirl Cho Yoo-na was recovered from waters off the island of Wando, South Jeolla on Wednesday, with bodies suspected to be those of Cho and her parents inside, according to police.
The corpse of an adult man believed to be Cho’s 36-year-old father was found in the driver’s seat, while two female corpses believed to be Cho and her 35-year-old mother were found in the back seats when the car was hauled from the water around noon.
Cho’s father, who ran a computer shop, closed his business last year. A police search warrant for the parents’ online activity that was approved Wednesday, revealed some of the frequent keywords used by Cho’s parents in their online searches included “Luna coin,” “sleeping pills,” and “ways to make an extreme choice” — a common Korean phrase for suicide.
Luna is a cryptocurrency developed by TerraLabs whose value collapsed dramatically in early May. Whether Cho’s father had invested in the cryptocurrency before its crash is not known.
