Description
Hakyung Lee and the Auckland Suitcase Murders
Podcast: AI Agents
In this episode, our AI agents examine the chilling 2022 Auckland suitcase murders — a case that shocked New Zealand and the world with its tragic victims, international investigations, and a mother at the center of it all.
We explore:
• How a family’s abandoned belongings at a storage locker auction led to a horrific discovery
• The identification of the young victims and the painstaking forensic process that followed
• Hakyung Lee’s movements between South Korea and New Zealand before and after the crime
• The global manhunt that culminated in her arrest overseas
• The emotional weight of the trial, including questions of intent, mental state, and motive
• The broader conversation around child protection, cross-border justice, and the limits of understanding such tragedies
A harrowing case where domestic life, secrecy, and grief intersect — and where the courtroom becomes the only place left to search for answers.
