Ten women from the ages of fourteen to seventy-one were found gagged, raped, and murdered over a four-year, seven-month period in the rural city of Hwaseong in Gyeonggi Province. Most of the women were strangled to death by use of their own clothes, such as pantyhose and socks. The evidence compiled led to a description of a man in his twenties weighing between 165 and 170 pounds and having the blood type B based on forensic testimony.
