The heartbreaking story of a mother who lost her son and died tragically is revealed.

On the 12th at 9:45 p.m., KBS 2TV's 'Smoking Gun' will air 'I Need a Baby to Get Married - The Missing Mother and Child Case in Pyeongtaek'.

On June 15, 2004, a worker cutting down trees on a hillside in Misiryeong, Gangwon Special Autonomous Province, accidentally discovered a mysterious hand protruding from the ground. Shocked, he reported it to the police. After confirming the identity of the body, it was revealed to be a woman in her 20s who had gone missing about a month earlier in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province. More tragically, at that time, not only this woman but also her 70-day-old baby had disappeared together. Although an investigation team was hastily formed to find the baby, the investigation made no progress in a situation with no CCTV footage or witnesses. Where did the baby disappear to?

Seven months later, police patrolling near Gangnam discovered a suspicious vehicle covered entirely in mud. A license plate check revealed it was a hit-and-run vehicle that had struck a motorcycle and fled eight months prior. After a tense chase, the vehicle was apprehended. Unexpectedly, in the passenger seat drawer, belongings of the baby's mother, who had been found dead seven months earlier, were discovered. As police relentlessly interrogated the driver and passenger, the truth of the case began to gradually emerge.

Ahn Hyun-mo expressed anger, saying, "It's astonishing how a mother and her baby could suffer such a terrible fate overnight." Lee Ji-hye said, "It breaks my heart to think of the baby's mother who died unjustly," and added, "The hand of the baby's mother that emerged from the ground looks like it was desperately reaching out to prevent her baby from being taken away until the very end," before finally shedding tears.

Kim Gye-dong, the former GangnamGyeong Chal-seo (Team Lead) who directly handled the case at the time, also appeared, detailing the entire process of his persistent investigation to find the missing baby despite having no decisive clues. Additionally, Jung Yeon-kyung, a psychiatrist, meticulously analyzes the psychology behind why the perpetrator committed such a bizarre crime.
