DPS alert for missing person
The Department of Public Safety is asking for the public’s help in locating a Korean male who went missing over a month ago.
DPS is asking anyone who may have information about Ham Sung Dai, a 45-year-old Korean male, to contact the police immediately at 911.
According to the department, Dai was last seen at 3:30pm on Feb 14. He was last seen checking into his hotel.
Dai is approximately 5’6” tall and weighs between 160 to 170 lbs.
He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of white running shoes.
Over 10 cold cases remain unsolved in the CNMI and the department said it continues to welcome leads that could possibly result in the closure of these cases.
According to Saipan Tribune archives, a few of the high-profile missing person cases that have gone cold include the disappearance of former Office of the Public Defender lawyer Jamal Saleh, siblings Faloma and Maleina Luhk, Japanese sisters Natsuki and Chinatsu Yamada, and more.
Saleh was reported missing on Oct 4, 2017. DPS reported that Saleh went for a walk at 1:30am on Oct. 3 2017, and has not been heard of since.
The Luhk siblings went missing on May 25, 2011, near a bus stop pavilion in As Teo. The sisters were 9 and 10 years old when they went missing and their disappearance resulted in the most extensive islandwide search in the CNMI’s history, with the FBI, along with local law enforcers and civilian volunteers, taking part.
The Yamada sisters went missing in June 2014 during a trip to Saipan. Since then, Hideki and Kozue Yamada, the parents of the missing women, have been constantly returning to get an update on the case of their missing daughters.
Individuals who may have leads on any of the unsolved cases of the CNMI are urged to contact DPS or CNMI Crime Stoppers.
