The Disney Princess Murders

01

Case File 146228/ Cinderella

Name: Park Minjun

Age: 24 yrs, old

Cause of death: Blunt Force Trauma

Classification: Homicide

It had been a month since the death of "Cinderella", and despite their best efforts, Seoul's homicide detectives still had no leads and no suspect.

They knew how he was murdered, and approximately when, but they didn't know the who, where, or the why of the murder. They were at a stand still in the investigation, with nowhere to go.

All they needed was a single lead to point them in the right direction. Suddenly the shrill ringing of the office landline rang out.

The family had been going on a nature hike, when the couples young daughter gasped before saying excitedly, "Look mommy, look daddy, Snow-white!"

The couple turned in the direction their excited daughter pointed her chubby finger toward.

The body laid at the base of a large tree, the blue and yellow dress smoothed out perfectly, the stiff white collar free of any dirt or grass stains, feet were enclosed in yellow heels and a red ribbon adorned wavy ebony locks. One arm sat across the yellow boticed stomach, the other bent at the elbow and stretched outward revealing the inner arm. A single red apple sitting at the fingertips of the upturned hand.

"Oh my god..."

Case File 122690/ Snow-white

Name: Kim Myung-Dae

Age: 23 yrs, old

Cause of Death: Blunt Force Trauma

Classification: Homicide

Homicide detectives Park Baek-Hyeon and his partner detective Lee Eun-Kyung, read over the medical examiner's report of their newest victim, Kim Myung-Dae, a report similar to their first. The cause of death, the mutilation, the dressing and placing of the bodies, it was all the same. It all pointed to both boys being murdered by the same individual.

"We've got a serial killer."

"I'll make the call."

When special agent Kim Namjoon led his team into the Seoul Police Department's Headquarters, they definitely turned some heads. They were very young and handsome, more like a Kpop group than the NIS agents they were. Detectives Park and Lee met the young men out in the bullpen.

"You guy's the team from NIS?"

Namjoon bowed to each detective before reaching out to shake their hands, "Yes, I'm agent Kim Namjoon, these are agents Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, and our criminal profiler agent Kim Seokjin."

"Detective Park Baek-Hyeon, this is my partner detective Lee Eun-kyung. I take it you boy's had the opportunity to read over the case files?" he asked the agents as he led them into the room being used as their base of operation.

"Yes, has anything new come in for either case?"

Detective Lee shook her head. "You know as much as we do. Park Minjun 24 years old was reported missing a week before his body was found. The lack of evidence at the scene indicates that he was killed elsewhere and dumped at the site he was found. Medical examiner reports he'd been dead only hours after being found. A month later, Kim Myung-Dae, 23 years old, was reported missing a week before his body was also found. Again, he'd been dead only hours before he was found."
