Authorities Look for Missing Family on Wando

UPDATE: The car of the missing family has been found and we should soon know whether the bodies of the family are in it:

Police on Tuesday said they found the car of a missing family off the southwestern coast after a female elementary school student and her parents disappeared mysteriously from a guesthouse in the region about a month ago.

The car with the same license plate as that of the family — 10-year-old Cho Yu-na and her parents in their 30s — was found at about 5:12 p.m. hanging on the fence of a fishing farm off Wando, according to local police and coast guard. 

Whether there were bodies inside have yet to be confirmed. Police said they plan to raise the car from the water early the next morning after taking necessary measures to protect any evidence.

This is a very weird story, hopefully this family turns up:

A massive police search has been under way for a family of three missing on a remote island on the southwestern coast, as a female elementary student and her parents disappeared mysteriously from a guesthouse there about a month ago.

Police said Monday the search for 10-year-old Cho Yu-na and her parents in their 30s, who reside in the southwestern metropolitan city of Gwangju, entered its sixth day on Wando, a quiet island about 120 kilometers south of their home.

Cho has been absent from her Gwangju school since May 19 after reporting that she would take part in an out-of-school experiential learning program on Jeju Island together with her parents until June 15.

In South Korea, students applying for out-of-school experiential learning are recognized as attending school.

But Cho did not return to school after her out-of-school field trip ended on June 16. The school then filed a missing persons report with police on June 22 after repeatedly failing to contact the family on their cell phones.

You can read more at the link, but the parents sold their computer business before driving to Wando. They were seen on camera leaving their guesthouse at 11PM at night and turning off their cell phones near a dock at 4AM in the morning. Their car has not been found as well. This is all very weird circumstances that hopefully authorities can get answers to.
