Shocking Truth: Did a Dementia-Stricken Mother Have an Affair? Find Out Tonight!

Translation result.Channel A’s Detectives’ Trade Secrets unveils a startling truth behind allegations that a woman in her 60s with dementia had an affair.

In the Case Notebook segment airing today (the 23rd) on Channel A’s Detectives’ Trade Secrets, a man hires investigators to get to the bottom of accusations directed at his mother.The client, a Ph.D. candidate living in the United States, was rocked by an anonymous call from a woman who claimed the client’s mother had an affair with her husband. The client rejected the accusation outright. His mother had been widowed at 30 and spent her life caring for her children, he said. The case sharpened, however, after he learned that his mother had been diagnosed with advanced dementia four months earlier. He argued it was impossible for someone with dementia to conduct an affair. The alleged lover’s wife countered that their relationship began before the diagnosis and demanded ₩100,000,000 (roughly $66,000) in damages. The client turned to the detective team to find out what happened to his mother over the past year.As the investigation unfolded, testimony pulled the case in opposite directions. Members of the parish insisted she would never behave that way. But the owner of a live music club described a different side: “She came here all the time… her sons don’t know what kind of person she really is,” he said, adding that there was once a huge scene when the woman was discovered with a married man and his wife confronted them. The man accused of the affair is a physical therapist in his 50s at the traditional Korean medicine clinic the mother attended — more than a decade younger than her. He acknowledged growing attached while treating her and asked, “Just because she has dementia, does that mean she can’t love?”The detectives then covertly investigated the clinic where he worked and uncovered a decisive fact that changes the trajectory of the case. Whether the client’s mother — living with dementia — was actually involved with a married man, and what the full, shocking truth is, will be revealed on-air.Channel A’s Detectives’ Trade Secrets airs tonight (the 23rd) at 10:00 p.m.
