[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A(48), the maternal grandmother of a 3-year-old girl found dead in a villa in Gumi, Gyeongbuk, showed a 'false' response in a polygraph test. Although A was confirmed to be the child's biological mother, she strongly denies it, claiming she never gave birth to the child.

According to the Gumi Police Station on the 15th, the Gyeongbuk Provincial Police Agency's Forensic Science Division conducted a psychophysiological (polygraph) test on A last weekend.

The police reportedly asked A about five key questions, including "Have you ever given birth to a child?", "Who is the child's biological father?", and "Where is your daughter's child?"

The core questions elicited 'false' responses, and some questions resulted in incoherent answers, leading to 'undecided' outcomes. However, the police did not disclose which core questions produced the false responses.

The police have deployed three profilers for nearly a week to analyze A's psychology.

A police official said, "This case cannot be solved with common sense or normal thinking. We need to look at it from a completely new angle to find clues."

Earlier, on the afternoon of the 10th of last month, A reported discovering the 3-year-old girl dead in a villa in Sangmo Sagok-dong, Gumi City. At that time, A was known as the child's maternal grandmother.

However, DNA tests revealed that the deceased child was A's biological daughter. B(22), who was believed to be the mother, was found to be the deceased girl's biological older sister.

Nevertheless, A denied ever giving birth, stating, "I have never given birth. The baby was born by my daughter (B)."

A's husband and her daughter's ex-husband were also determined not to be the deceased girl's biological father.

The police secured the custody of two men acquainted with A and conducted DNA tests, but they were also not the biological fathers.

The police consider finding the child's biological father a crucial clue to solving the case and are inquiring about private midwives and foster mothers.

A police official said, "Private midwives and foster mothers are not directly related to the child's death, so we encourage them to report actively."
