The Hwaseong serial killer case is one of South Korea's most notorious crime sagas, where a flawed, desperate police investigation led to the torture and 20-year wrongful imprisonment of an innocent disabled man, until advanced DNA testing in 2019 exposed the real killer, who proudly confessed just to claim credit for his crimes. South Korea was riding the high of massive economic expansion and preparation for the 1986 Asian Games, completely unaware that a monster was stalking the rural farmlands of Hwaseong. Under the cover of darkness, a phantom assailant systematically targeted local women, leaving behind a signature trail of terror that left a whole province afraid to even wear the color red. This documentary details the flawed manhunt where authorities threw a blind net over twenty thousand local men, entirely derailed by an incorrectly extracted blood type sample that allowed the real predator to slip right through their fingers. With public outrage boiling over a horrific attack inside a residential home, investigators grew desperate for a conviction and zeroed in on a vulnerable, impoverished young man living with the physical after-effects of polio.
