The father of the children found rotting in unclaimed suitcases won at auction died from cancer before his wife left for South Korea, it has been revealed. Enquiries involving both police forces and Interpol have determined she is missing, but her last known location was in South Korea. Detectives have now revealed that up to a year before she flew to South Korea, her husband died from cancer, stuff.co.nz reported. On August 18, Detective Inspector Vaaelua said the children may have been inside the suitcases for between three and four years. Detective Inspector Vaaelua said police had reasons to believe the children have family in New Zealand that have not yet been identified.
