Quoted from Koreaboo, Roh Eui Jong's mother said that her son has been missing since April 30th. However, on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, she received a threatening call from an unknown man. The man stated that Roh had been kidnapped and demanded a ransom of US$2,000 or around Rp32 million.

"The spirit entered Thailand on April 30th. Then, on May 7th, the spirit's mother contacted the police to help find her son, believing that he was there. He was kidnapped for ransom," said one of the police officers. The embassy immediately conveyed this news to the local police, so the authorities took action to conduct an investigation."

The person who carries the Spirit changes their vehicle into a pickup truck and is then seen buying a black barrel in a plastic warehouse. The police traced the tracks of the pickup truck driven by two mysterious men, until it stopped at a parking lot. It was then that the police found the Spirit's corpse cemented inside the plastic barrel that had been dumped into the reservoir.

"One of the three escaped from Thailand and returned to South Korea and was arrested in Jeongeup City earlier this week," said the police. The suspect who was captured in Jeongeup was identified as Lee Roun. South Korean police tracked him from surveillance camera footage before arresting him on Sunday, May 12, 2024."
