Bodies Found in Submerged Car Believed to Be of Missing Family
A very sad ending to the story of the missing family on Wando:
The family of three — a 10-year-old girl named Cho Yu-na and her parents — went missing last month while staying at a guesthouse in Wando, an island 362 kilometers south of Seoul.
Following massive search operations, police found the Audi sedan the family rented upturned underwater near Wando a day ago and hauled it out of the sea Wednesday.
Inside the vehicle, police found three bodies presumed to be those of the family, according to the Gwangju Metropolitan Police and the Coast Guard in Wando.
Police plan to confirm their identities through fingerprint examinations and an analysis of their belongings, officials noted.
Cho had been absent from her elementary school in Gwangju since May 19 after reporting she would take part in an outdoor learning program on Jeju Island together with her parents for about a month.
Her school reported her absence to the police a week earlier as she did not show up for class upon the termination of her reported one-month leave.

You can read more at the link, but it is believed the death of family is related to the economic issues the father was experiencing when he lost his business. Assuming this was a suicide it seems very selfish to kill the kid.
It was very selfish. The limp body of Yuna on the back of her mother on CCTV was haunting.
I don’t understand this approach. I have lost at least 10 jobs, and then went out and found another. My latest job search was around the time I was 60, nearly twice the age of the little girl’s parents. There is always work for people willing to work. Not always enough to buy the most expensive car, house, clothing, or desserts; but they could have asked a church for shelter for the little girl, at least. They acted like they had no family or friends
What a terribly sad situation.
