South Korean families missing in America, suspect police suspect of losing life in accident –
A three -member South Korean family went missing earlier this month while going from Grand Canyon of America. The New York Post quoted the Coconino County Sheriff Office as saying that 33 -year -old Jione, his mother Tahi Kim (59) and aunt Jungahi Kim (54), were holidaying in the US and were last seen on the interstate 40 highway in Williams, Arizona on March 13, as he was discovered from the GPS data of his rental BMW.
Family victim of accident?
The place where the three were last seen are about 35 km from the flagstaff, which is called the entry gate of the Grand Canyon National Park. Police said that this is the same place where a gruesome road accident occurred with 22 vehicles. Police said that they do not know whether the family became a victim of the accident or not, in which some victims could not be identified due to burning. However, Coconino Sheriff spokesman John Pasteton told ABC News on Friday that it was possible.
Asked for help by releasing posters
The Sheriff Office released a poster about all three on March 20, including their photos and details about the missing persons. In the poster, people have been appealed to give information about the missing family and help in the police investigation. The Sheriff Office said that the police spent three days in search of areas, service roads and hospitals and they have gathered some evidence, which is expected that family members would have been killed in the accident.
According to the New York Post, on March 18, the South Korean Consulate approached Arizona officials, as the three had missed a flight from San Francisco to home a day earlier.
A fierce collision of 22 vehicles on the road
The Arizona Department of Public Safety said that on the day the major accident took place and the family went missing, there was also an accident on the snow -covered interstate highway in Williams south of the Grand Canyon National Park. According to the department, many tractor-trailers and 22 passenger vehicles collided in this collision, killing two people and caught fire, which could be controlled after 20 hours.

The Sheriff Office said that it is not clear whether the accident in Williams included rental vehicles and missing women. He said that since the 13th, we are not aware of any phone calls, no credit card has been used and no other point has ever been recorded on the GPS of that vehicle, so it is very difficult to find out the truth.
