WHAT HAPPENED

The death of a woman on Jeju has prompted the reopening of 298 missing-person cases, reportedly involving a concealed investigation by an officer. The headline does not establish that all cases are connected.

The scale of the reopened cases indicates a potentially major public-safety and law-enforcement failure.
