13. Everybody's DNA Everywhere - Part 1

The title will make sense in part 2, trust us...

Told in 2 parts, Ashley tells Wendy the harrowing tale of "The Frog Boys".

In South Korea 5 young friends, amidst massive political change on a national holiday, take advantage of a day off of school and set out on an adventure. In March of 1991 , Woo Cheol-Won (13), Jo Ho-Yeon (12), Kim Yeong-Gyu (11), Park Chan-In (10), and Kim Jong-Sik (9) would disappear - never to be seen again.
