Channel A “Detectives’ Trade Secrets”
On “Detectives’ Trade Secrets,” a “record-breaking mystery request” emerges surrounding the death of a birth mother with whom the client had had no contact for about 30 years.
On Channel A “Detectives’ Trade Secrets,” airing at 9:30 p.m. on the 8th, a client arrives saying, “I want to know the truth hidden behind my birth mother’s death.” The client was separated from the birth mother around age four due to parental divorce. According to the father, the reasons for the divorce were the birth mother’s “religion and drinking issues.” Then, in February this year, the client received a registration notice stating that the birth mother’s home was going to auction and belatedly learned of her death. The problem came next. Along with inheriting the birth mother’s home, the client also had to take on a massive debt totaling 123 million won, including loans, credit card balances, and various overdue fees. The birth mother’s remaining financial assets amounted to only about 1.05 million won.
Moreover, it emerges that in addition to the villa she had been living in, there were three more apartments in Gangwon Province in her name. Questions mount as to how the client’s birth mother, who had moved among various facilities due to mental illness during her lifetime, came to purchase as many as three apartments while burdened with heavy debt. Even more shocking, between 2014 and 2024 a total of 32 insurance policies were taken out in her name, 20 of which were policies paying out upon death. The life insurance payout had already been collected by someone. Kim Poong remarks, “It smells highly suspicious. This is not an ordinary case,” expressing astonishment.
Then the mystery deepens further with the revelation that in July this year, a mysterious individual came directly to the client, mentioning the birth mother. In response, the Goblin Detective Team visits the birth mother’s former residence to make inquiries. Everyone is shocked by a chilling account from a neighbor. It is even revealed that the time and place of death were unusual, intensifying suspicions. Defconn shares his confusion, saying, “This is clearly reality, yet it feels like experiencing the opening of a mystery film.”
The truth behind the birth mother’s question-filled life and deathand this case rife with suspicions that multiply with every inquirywill be revealed on Channel A’s “Detectives’ Trade Secrets” at 9:30 p.m. on Monday, December 8.
