Georgia authorities have arrested five adults and one teenager after a body was found in the trunk of a car outside a Korean spa in Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett County Police said a 911 caller reported a possible body inside a vehicle near the Jeju Sauna on Gwinnett Place Drive in unincorporated Duluth at around 10:50 p.m. Sept. 12. When police arrived at the location, they did find a body of a female in the trunk of a silver Jaguar sedan.

On Thursday, the department identified the suspects as Lawrenceville residents Joonhyun Lee, 22; Joonho Lee, 26; Hyunji Lee, 25; Gawon Lee, 26; Junyeoug Lee, 15; and Suwanee resident Eric Hyun, 26. 

All six are charged with felony murder, imprisonment, tampering with evidence and concealing a death.

During a news conference Thursday, Gwinnett police said the female victim was from South Korea and came to the Atlanta area this summer to join "Soldiers of Christ," a religious organization the suspects claim to belong to. 

Her identity has not been released as police have not yet contacted her family in South Korea.

Though her exact cause of death has not been determined, police said the Medical Examiner's Office believes malnourishment could have been a factor. Detectives believe the victim, whose body weighed approximately 70 pounds when it was found, was beaten repeatedly and starved while being held captive.

Gwinnett police believe Hyun was the driver of the Jaguar and reported that he called a family member to pick him up from the location shortly after parking the vehicle. Hyun was picked up and taken to the hospital for unrelated injuries, police said. 

While at the hospital, police said Hyun asked the family member to go get a personal item from the car for him. When that family member got to the car, 911 was called to report what appeared to be a body in the trunk.

A search warrant was executed at a residence associated with Hyun on Stable Gate in unincorporated Lawrenceville. At the home, detectives and crime scene investigators collected evidence that led them to believe the crime took place in the basement, police said.

An owner of the Jeju Sauna told FOX 5 Atlanta that surveillance video shows a man pulling up to the spa's parking area in a silver Jaguar alongside a Mercedes. The man allegedly can be seen looking in the Jaguar's trunk before getting inside the Mercedes and leaving.

The owner said the video also shows the Mercedes return to the car later in the night, followed by police not long after.

FOX 5 shared a statement from the popular sauna that reads as follows:

"We would like to address a recent incident that occurred in our parking lot. We want to assure our valued customers that this incident had absolutely nothing to do with our business operations and was solely confined to the parking lot area.

"The safety and well-being of our customers have always been our utmost priority. We are fully cooperating with local law enforcement authorities who are currently investigating the matter. We are confident that they will bring those responsible to justice swiftly.

"We understand that incidents like these can cause concern among our loyal customers, and we want to emphasize that this was an isolated incident that does not reflect the overall safety and security of our premises. We are thankful for our security officers who patrol in and around our parking lot to provide a safe environment for all.

"We encourage our customers to continue enjoying the wide range of services and amenities we offer, including our rejuvenating saunas, therapeutic baths, and cultural experiences. We remain committed to maintaining the high standards of cleanliness, hospitality, and relaxation that our customers have come to expect from us.

"We would like to thank our valued customers for their continued support and trust in Jeju Sauna."

Gwinnett police confirmed it does not appear that the sauna has any connection to the crime.

The prosecutor in charge of Danelo Cavalcante's homicide case in Brazil said he thought the convicted killer was on his way to his native country when he escaped from a Pennsylvania prison last month.

Cavalcante, who was captured on Wednesday after nearly two weeks on the run, fled Brazil in 2018 a few months after allegedly shooting a man who owed him money to death. He faces a much lighter sentence in Brazil compared to the life sentence handed to him in the U.S. for killing his girlfriend in 2021, Tocantins state prosecutor Rafael Pinto Alamy told The Associated Press Thursday.

"I thought he wanted to escape to Brazil," Alamy said. "He would have to comply with the prison rules here, which are much more lenient."

If convicted in Brazil, Cavalcante faces a maximum of 30 years in prison since the country does not hand down life sentences and could possibly be released after about 12 years for good behavior, Alamy said.

CONVICTED KILLER DANELO CAVALCANTE CAPTURED IN PENNSYLVANIA NEARLY 2 WEEKS AFTER PRISON ESCAPE

Cavalcante's homicide charge in Brazil stems from the Nov. 5, 2017, death of 20-year-old Valter Júnior Moreira dos Reis, who he is accused of shooting five times outside a restaurant in Figueiropolis – a small rural town in the Brazilian state of Tocantins. A witness told officers that Cavalcante rant to his car after the shooting and fled the scene.

The victim's sister later told police she thought Cavalcante attacked him because of a debt he owed related to damage done to a car, according to a police report seen by The AP.

Brazilian authorities opened an investigation into Cavalcante and a judge ordered his preventive arrest within a week, but law enforcement never found him, The AP reported.

Fantastico, an investigative television show in Brazil, reported that Cavalcante traveled to Brasília in January 2018. It's unclear if he used his own identification to travel, but he was only listed as a fugitive in the state of Tocantins until he was included in a national warrant information system in June 2018, Alamy said.

ESCAPED KILLER SHOT AT BY PENNSYLVANIA HOMEOWNER WHILE ON THE RUN, POLICE SAY

Cavalcante has a court hearing scheduled for Oct. 11 in connection with the case in Brazil, which is expected to go to a jury "probably next year," according to his lawyer Magnus Lourenço and Alamy.

Lourenço added that there's a chance the October date could be delayed because he is not sure if Cavalcante will be notified of it in time.

Similar to the widespread coverage of Cavalcante's escape and subsequent capture in America, Brazilian media outlets also covered the saga and his eventual apprehension made the front page of many newspapers in the country.

Loved ones of his alleged victim in Brazil told local paper Folha de S. Paulo that they are relieved Cavalcante is paying for his crimes, even if it's in another country.

"We’re pleased (with his capture), but there was no justice for my brother in Brazil. Justice is very slow," said Dayane Moreira dos Reis, the victim's sister. "We (now) hope he’ll stay in prison for his whole sentence."
