It’s scary to think if the dad wasn’t alive, she probably would’ve gotten away with it

@Sebas! ! Crazy to think if her parents hadn't abused her for her whole life things would've ended all different.

not probably. They would've called in the second expert detective regardless, and with all her responses and contradictories and ilogical statements, she very likely woulda got thrown in jail. Perhaps they also would have done detective work on her boyfriend.

Also, as the video notes at the very last bit, a even more powerful bit of evidence than these interviews were the messages she and her boyfriend messaged to each other just before the murder

(And then you've witnesses, which may note a feminine figure walking around the house during the murderings)
(And the dickhead robbers/murderers/hitmen may have ratted her out/had detectives talk to 'em)

tl;dr: nah; it's almost certain even with a dead dad, she would've gotten full time jail cause all the other informative evidence

Not likely, considering the biggest piece of evidence was the recovered text messages between her and her boyfriend planning the entire scheme. Lol.

honestly, because while they were suspicious of her there was no real evidence she was involved. because someone with ptsd does get things mixed up, so it would have been just passed up as that.. if her father had passed.


"Yet is getting no tissues for her nonexistent tears."
"So he leaves her to play with her hair for 3 minutes before he comes back and charges her with first degree murder."
💀 the narration

oh what a web we weave when we practice to deceive.....have tears of joy in care ....  trust the one who said "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" and repent and be born again = John 3...in His amazing grace :) ....and thanks for Judge Judy and you too..thanks alyphim


16:35 is kinda hilarious, she mocks the way her father was screaming in pain as if she was telling her friends a silly story about a drunk stranger and she immediately realizes she made a mistake

Yeah for real! That always bothers me when I hear that part lol

@Shadow Of The Lone Wolf It’s just that most men who say “females” never say “males.” They call male humans “men” and female humans “females.” The word “females” refers to the female population of any animal species. But they don’t specify that they’re referring to human females by using the name for human females, which is “women.” Although they always use the proper name for human males.

It gives the impression that some men view women as being the same as any other female animal, but they view men as being fully human.

@Lollie <br>She got his wife, her own mother killed, and she clearly showed she wanted both of them dead, you expect him to not keep his distance from her after that? Insane.

@Lollie

Good ear for detail. Just another crack in her hare-brained plot.

@pradarling no he doesn’t love his daughter bcuz he made a restraining or whatever u call it in which his daughter is banned from every1 in the family.

@Hyuna the Hyena<br>Tf is wrong with you???

@Hyuna the Hyena
Tf is wrong with you???

@Ruby Blue why? The word isn't creepy in itself, seems like you're projecting something.

Ion know why. But I kinda treated that like watching a show and hoping the Main character  doesn't slip up. And when she did that I was "YOU IDIOT"

@SpectreA I’m not disagreeing that she’s a psycho, but referring to women as “females” is creepy as hell

@Hyuna the Hyena You know who’s actually heartless? Murderers and defenders of murderers. Her father wanted her to succeed in life and she wanted to be a high school drop out and girlfriend of a drug dealer. Even for parents with low expectations she would have disappointed. Her parents were right to be hard on her. They should have been harder since she turned into such a screw up.

I watched this 3 times and that always fuxked my head

@Hyuna the Hyena My parents sucked, and abused me all my childhood. Yet, they're still alive. They gave her an ultimatum that she didn't like, so she decided to kill them. She wasn't in a life or death situation, she wasn't scared for her wellbeing, she just wanted them gone. Her parents being crappy and having high expectations isn't an excuse for murder.

@pradarling Uh, or he just loved the potential in her to live out his own goals and overshadow his own failures. Nothing about her upbringing says she was loved by her parents, nothing

@Hyuna the Hyena he still loved her tho😢

гарри я скоро не вернусь

@Nu her dad was heartless for trying to make her into a robot and relive his life through her

Good catch. I couldn't even listen to the cry of her father on the phone and she just make silly voice out of that. Wow

I was like wtf, did she really just did that?? Lol

I had to go back and look, what an astute observation, I didn't catch that at first.

I love how she does that and instantly realises her mistake and then pretends to break down the next second to makeup for it

Omg literally like I actually said out loud "SHE DID NOOOOT"

I burst out laughing, I don’t know how I missed that!😭😂

Yup I'm surprised no one mentioned this earlier. It was so uncomfortable to see. She's truly heartless go make fun of her dad's scream for help.

@Tah Tee Wezt Bruhk It was pretty good man ngl

@Tah Tee Wezt Bruhk Yeah and then answered that question in a way he saw fit, don’t get butthurt over it lmao

Likely just a strong statement to spook her, but I reckon there's an element of truth to it


This video popped up after searching "Alyssa Ellman" from MAFS. Hmmm


Me watching her crying and talking about the event in the beginning: aw no that sounds convincing
This guy: look how obvious she is lying right here because of this...
Me: Pft yeah totally. What idiot would fall for that?

You actually don't need a guy to analize it/her or anything when you already know what's happened which is explained in the beginning of the Video.....

@Candela Frachia ikr?! 🤦🏻♂ Also one already knows the circumstances....

@rauha siltala hshfksjd ok i respect you 💆🏻♀

True, I become slightly more empathetic considering what she portrays. If it would have been a blonde white douchy chad I wouldn't have hestitated. I have been previously backstabbed by chads and "good guys like me" Now I have a postit that says "Trust no one never, yes even Ginny" to remind be even the closest mf can be cunning little liars

you sound like an  empath . love this in a crowd of non kind heart mfs

He said it was convincing at first, though. And it was untill she slipped

@Kathy Ramos Sorry I had to lighten the mood😂😆

@Phil the Thrill Hey it always could be this: https://youtu.be/B1qQCFQCneA.    They had it coming ! they had it coming! they only have themselves to blame if you’d of been there if you’d seen it I bet you you would’ve done the same….LOL Pop six squish uhuhuh Cicero Lipchitz this was a murder but not a crime! She snapped plan an simple In case you’re wondering this is the cellbock tango

@Phil the Thrill hey it could always be a Mexican soap opera😆😆😆

She’s crying that she got caught that’s what it is I’ve taken psychology I’ve got this book called telling lies by Paul Ekman I’ve got The book emotions inside out by Paul Ekman dude come on people think that when you’re telling a lie you look to the right but no it’s you’re looking to the left because you’re trying to recall the whole story

@Candela Frachia let us be dumb in peace ok💔💔<br>but yeah when they started fading even i noticed something

@Zach White Well aren't you just Mr. "Woke" congratz. You must be fun at parties.

Ive been with JCS since the start. It's so neat to see his channel growing

Literally the only channel I get excited about when I see a new upload

just get used to having videos unlisted or deleted.

(Raises hand)<br>Me, me, me, meeeeeeee!!

Bish Im still paying JCS the humble dollar on Patreon

Juicy James im still subscribed on there, I don’t mind it’s 1$ and I like to rewatch all his videos over and over.

You I only saw that chapter tree times.....I .....tink......

This is one of my favorite true crime channels. I was already into true crime but JSC got me into watching police interviews

Hardly a hidden gem anymore. I WAS WATCHING BEFORE IT WAS COOL ON LIKE 20K SUBS!

...Sorry I couldn’t help it

I've been watching his videos long time ago. It's an awesome channel but uploads are slow haha but worth it

Ms. Lea, go to one of his older videos, it should be linked in the description box.

Yes a real genius;the original Captain hindsight.

There are at least 10-15 other videos of his on his patreon. It's worth $1. He notified everyone he would be doing his videos for FREE on youtube and let them know to unsubscribe. He isnt ripping anyone off.


As an Asian kid who has strict parents, I almost felt like the detective is talking to me, not Jennifer.
I’m glad that I gotta talk with therapist now, not detectives.

Edit: I just want to thank people in this thread for being civil and empathetic. Besides, I want to share something my therapist told me about strict parents, is that I need to grow out of them by interacting with new people. Relationships with parents are like old leaves with a little bit dirt, if I can’t really clean them, I can always grow some new leaves.

I think that’s probably something Jennifer failed to do, and that’s why we can all have some reflection and takeaway from this video. Anyway thanks for coming to my Ted talk😅

Some of the people in the comment section cannot understand emotional abuse. Its sad. This is not people defending a murderer. This is people pointing out years long suffering. If you can't get that, you shouldn't come at those who speak up.

@A not for everyone. And for the record, I am not defending a murderer. I'm just saying that we shouldn't romanticize abuse, whether it's psychological, physical or anything.

@A You're not exactly coming off well-adjusted here, buddy.

@A now where in the post was there a defense

@A  I am an Asian who had to go through very strict parents. Just because it has been going on in Asian countries forever, does not mean it is acceptable. Wanting the best and treating your kids without basic human rights are two different things!!!

Omg my parents are Asian and there even not that bad yet I felt like the detective was talking to me.... in my case perhaps I am just able to sympathise

𝑆𝑦𝑒𝑑𝑎 𝐹𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑎

@Rebecca Xia You're not alone; I've been to hospital for severe (clinical) depression, with my parents' flawed upbringing being one of the reasons why I ended up there. That was over 10 years ago though... There are a lot of insensitive self-righteous pieces of shit here who love nothing more than drop rocks on those stuck in wells - 落井下石 - don't let these disgusting comments bother you.

@A don't say things like this especially if u didn't experience having a controlling and strict parents. it's insulting. it's like tolerating toxic parental behavior

We/society are glad too! And I am truly sorry you had to suffer through that.

Just know the reason they’re strict is because I think they are doing the best for you and they want you to succeed in life that is the Asian culture to raise children

hope ur okay just dont kill your parents!!

During this video, I felt empathetic with her too, my parents were controlling and often strict but not to this level, I feel bad for whenever needs to grow up like this! It's so crippling. She did make a mistake tho and is now paying for it but yeah, her parents were terrible people.

I hope your therapist is helping you and letting out things that were bottled up for a long time.


I hate watching her trying to cry while I already know she's faking it.

@dushas None of us can know what's genuine or not, but we do have the evidence of the totally dry Kleenex after she's supposedly blubbering.

@Sports fix eesh too true. Spoken like someone who knows.

@BoarStatus I believe Mohammed was referring to what made the police bring her in for questioning the second time (since the narrator explains that police seldom bring it a witness for questioning a second time, unless they are considered a person of interest/ a suspect).

Her contradicting narrative and father’s statement occurred after she was brought in the second time.

@Hawley_ 77 I too had to come back 4 times to get through it, so cringy.

@Mohammed A her dad gave a conflicting story. With the rest of the bs she was back tracking on was probably enough.

@dushas Ah of course, since she's a woman she must be defended even if she's a psychopath. Why do people hate giving women any kind of responsability and always treats them like babies?

🎶Bob the builder, Can he fix her acting?🎶

@dushas I think you bring up some interesting points tho, afterall her parents just fricking died! It's an interesting concept because I personally believe she is confilcted with trying to seem as innocent as she can, and fulfilling her "plan" while also being traumatised by being pushed to commit to this plan. I don't think she's being necessarily either completly fake, neither completely genuine here! :)

@Colton Bates a lot of this was genuine, the narrator stretches far fetched BS to fit his theory mostly. "we hear her say stuff in mournful tone, but she can't maintain it, when asked blahblahblah" spoken as someone who never actually had to mourn somebody, mind gets tunnel versioned, you can be crying in grief, but get easily distracted by the request of specify something and switch instantly - I speak from personal experience (and no I wasn't a killer). <br>And do you truly believe that she suffered no emotional trauma and has no remorse for what she set in motion?

It’s so uncanny because within the first 20 minutes or so it seems pretty genuine


The plan was for it to appear as a robbery gone wrong, literally all she had to do was hide during the robbery. It'd be easy to believe the robbers didn't kill a person if they didn't know they were there. It doesn't make sense for them to kill 2/3 people and decide to let the last one live.

It’s not easy to create a totally fabricated scenario with such high stakes, in front of veteran detectives.

@James Ford i don’t care dude here in europe we use numbers from 1 to 10 as grades not letters

@Lucignolo Apparently, you were a C-minus average student as well. C minor is a musical note, not a grade you can receive in school.

That's what I said too when she called the cops she  could've whispered and pretended that she was hiding and didn't know what was going on. That way the interrogators wouldn't be able to ask her so many questions if the only thing she did was hide in a room. Also there was no need to kill the parents she could've just disappeared with her boyfriend to start a new life but I guess she really hated them.

My only guess is the liars say drawn out stories while people telling the truth don't have to

@xander cage yeah, at VERY least don't be chatting to the robbers during it!

@XoxoSha life isn't call of duty. You could die from getting shot in the leg

@aarias We are just frustrated with how stupid her mistakes were so stupid. I can’t believe she was the one that was fooling her parents all this time Nah her boyfriend helped her a lot a lot. But to bad the boyfriend couldn’t be in the interrogation room with her so she f up. What a terrible liar.

RIGHT, it had the perfect set up but the most stupid executor.

Her confidence level must've been through the roof during the "robbery" (she was casually talking to the killers as they were doing the deed). I suppose she thought that she would just give her version of events and that would be that.

Honestly, she should've settled for school instead

I know y’all not sitting here trying to fix this girls errors so she can get away with murder 😭

Preface - murder is wrong, duh.<br>That said, she did everything totally wrong, beginning to end. She talked too much too many times. She never had to say anything. And yeah the plan was bad too. Why did the boyfriend know about it? Also involving three other randos is also super risky. If they get caught, you're name is coming up in that conversation.

Ikr! Just be like I heard noises so I hid under my bed I heard them come upstairs but I stayed quite until they went downstairs and called the cops. Like girl. Come on. The more information given the more it’s sus

I see you are the A+ student her parents wanted

@Lucignolo Hey, she was deep in to a movie on Netflix, so why go out? ;)

@sadi al no way bc her dad wouldnt have been able to give his word

@XoxoSha that's actually a good way to get killed if they nic an artery.

The safest story to tell is 'I don't know'

And that would’ve stopped the dad from giving a statement saying she was in on it he wouldn’t know she had any involvement if she did that only way she’d get caught is if they found the people who did it and they ratted her out

Whats worse is that she was injury free. She should've asked one of them to at least beat her to make it look like she was a victim.

@sadi al The hell are you blabbing about DNA evidence? This isn't a case where DNA would be useful.

"We found your DNA at the crime scene" no shit, she lives there.

@sadi al Calm down buddy, who pissed in your cornflakes?

She could of said they separated her to run one on her 😂😂😂 I mean It would sound believable.

@Rushil N EXACTLY! If there’s too many details in a lie, it’s already suspect.

I’ve been thinking about this too, probably she was too dumb to think about it if with all her goodwill she was only getting c minors.<br>And her drug dealer boyfriend must’ve not been a bright one too

I’ve been thinking about this too, probably she was too dumb to think about it if with all her goodwill she was only getting c minors.
And her drug dealer boyfriend must’ve not been a bright one too

I really don't understand why she over complicated it either.


BRuh all that time asking for the address spelling? why is it that important BRUH


She literally built the case against herself. Had to be the detectives easiest job

@Louis Cypher Liars tend to over think how much detail they need to pull it off. Truthful people are very direct and to the point especially with something so emotionally traumatic that would make thinking hard.

Street Rider for sure. The bigger the lie, the more the details grow.

Louis Cypher You’re right. That’s called the Pinocchio Affect. Their nose doesn’t literally grow every time they lie, but the details in their lies do grow. Most people when recalling an event remember details, sure, but not so many unnecessary ones—and when relaying the story, usually won’t go and mention those details. So, you’re right. A good liar would keep it short and simple, and probably be fake vague on details—especially small ones. Like how much money was stolen, if you were tied upstairs you can’t possibly know how much, and besides that wasn’t the most important issue at the time. But she would remember maybe how many times her mom tried to get up off the couch, because then and there you’re in the moment.

@Louis Cypher JCS here is some future content coming your way!

Louis Cypher I live in Canada and no one I know or have ever met had hidden their purse in the fridge..

@Rob L
Its not commonplace here in Canada but every country has their sociopaths and psychopaths.
...it's just that most don't vote for them to lead their counties like in the US.

@Louis Cypher I had headphones in, then heard screams, took out my headphones heard gun shots, then jumped out the window. Super easy

@Louis Cypher I don't even live in Canada, however, I've visited around the country enough in my life to say I'm fairly certain that is not commonplace in Canada. 😂🤣 That was just another one of those random details she added, in an attempt to explain away how dark it was in there. If it was so dark that the fridge opening lit up the room, she thinks it will make sense that she didn't see everything.

Once you meet a pathological liar, it's pretty evident, so many details, so little truth

Conor Donahue yup! They actually think the more the better. In actuality, this is their downfall. They never remember it the same way again. Probably helpful for victims.

@Louis Cypher common in liars. Provide too many details.

I don't get why they don't just be vague, like they came in they grabbed me asked me for money and then they were yelling and then they shot them. why have all of these extra details to remember? They all seem to do it, as if the more elaborate the details the more convincing they think it is.

I mean granted i've never suffered a home invasion let alone one that ended in death, but i don't i'd remember so many small details about the time line of events like the room being illuminated when they searched the fridge for a purse....... (also is that a common thing in canada to hide your purse in the fridge)

She thought she was a better liar than she was.


She looks like she is going to have a full out melt down, anxiety attack when she's asked to demonstrate the cell phone call. She's clearly on the edge at that point.

who even plays with their hair like that for so many hours while talking and answering questions. so obvious shes apart of the whole murder scheme

It took her awhile to do it too, I wonder if maybe she was planning it out in her mind how it would work 😬

Lol Yeah because she had to explain how the fk she spoke so clearly on the phone if she had been tied up by murderous home invaders.


The human mind is crazy this girl thought getting her parents killed would make her life easier, insane.


I actually struggled similarly to Jennifer with my own tiger parents. Obviously, killing her parents was not the solution, and the fact that she planned that out is terrible, and that her mother died is absolutely tragic. But I do get her emotional turmoil.

You'd have to be inhumane not to sympathize with her. Parents who do this to their children are abusive. And from what I understand, many children in Asian families (or any race for that matter) that experience this end up committing suicide. In this case, she took the other extreme. Sure, what she did was terrible, but I can't say I don't understand. People do some insane things when abused and backed into a corner.

Same here. I understand her anger but I don't agree with murder.

@gary payne i dont think you understand just how much hate and resentment you can have for horrible tiger parents like this

It's entirely understandable that she killed them purely out of spite and anger, not for the money

@gary payne no, she hated them too much to just leave  and money was just at least compensation for those years of terror. She felt she deserved it.

Instead of being disowned and never seeing her family again... she chose to have them killed and never see them again...

Hey guys, I am surprised I was not the only one to feel that way. Actually, there are so many!  I felt uncomfortable that I sympathized with her. My parents pressured me for my success and forbidden me to do anything of pleasure for a long time too. Similarly, we came from Eastern (European) country to the western liberal country. So the difference between my life and my peers's ones got more pronounced. I often lied about my grades and absences the same way. I got fortunate enough to move and and everything is fine except my low esteem and the unconscious need for validation, which I try to control. <br> So sad, parents don't realize what they're causing.

Same here, my father was abusive(verbally and physically) over school grades. I left home at 21(moved to a different country)and haven’t returned for almost 12 years, lots of pain and tears, still hurts, even though I’m almost 40 now. One thing I know for sure : I’ll never do this to my children.<br>Still have low self-esteem and a need for validation.

Still have low self-esteem and a need for validation.

most personality disorders are the result of some childhood trauma usually a product of physical, mental and/or spiritual abuse by the primary caretaker. My mother dangled her conditional love over me like a dog toy and favored my older brother over me. Not to mention the emotional and verbal abuse. GODs helping me deal with it.

I relate to her quite a bit. My solution was to simply leave my family and go no contact.

I thought the same thing. Her parents played a huge role in what she ultimately became.

I like that you mention a humanizing aspect, I don't believe anyone is purely just evil or purely just good. Ofcourse it doesn't excuse the action but it's so important not to think black and white with human beings. Thanks to both of you for your stories

Yeah, me too. It's kind of difficult to watch the video, tbh, because I love my parents a great deal, but there's a lot of anger there as well.


She said she wanted to take care of her parents....And that's exactly what she did.

That’s exactly what I was thinking when I heard her say that! Thank you!!!

God I didn't know that that(?) could make me laugh a lot

BiH Robotics funny because even in the 3rd interrogation she could’ve left. Absolutely didn’t even play defense for her innocence

Had she stone walled the interrogator she would have won the case


“She starts fake crying again but this time isn’t given any tissues to wipe away her non existent tears”<br>LOL THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

“She starts fake crying again but this time isn’t given any tissues to wipe away her non existent tears”

@Ukraino TV I have watched the full 1 hour and 31 minutes of it, I am not going to waste my time searching for one thing by watching a whole video. If you do not know that answer, please simply ignore my comment. It's not that hard unless you have attention issues and want to always speak your negative opinion to annoy other people. thanks!

He chose NOT to give a timestamp ahaha wow!

i find it... scary that someone can do this. the parents could have been truly horrible to her, but she was the architect of her own life given her surroundings since - birth. i feel bad for the insensitivity demonstrated by the whole family.

@Myra B Stop asking  for timestamps. Go and watch.

@Patrick Star why would you waste your time saying that lmao/nm.

@Myra B Ignore the degenerates
Timestamp at 1:00:00

@Patrick Star lmao i respect your bastard response


I always cringe when these people start getting caught in their own lies. It's tough to watch man

I have to watch it in sections because it makes me so uncomfortable

Everytime I watch these and they slip i catch myself saying out loud "oooooohhhh you just got caught"

Same but you just gotta practise it man, it gets easier over time xD


The father screaming for help is horrifying.

@Shub Kale one who has abusive parents like Jennifer

@アップルパイ your comment has got to be my favourite comment ever
Thank you so much for clarifying that strict parenting isn’t abuse
And that it’s actually the only way you could raise a well mannered/disciplined child

@CombustibleLemon72 all of them are in the wrong. No one in this video is innocent. Especially her

Heard way worse. Favorite one? Guy blowtorch to the face. This is absolutely nothing compared to what I've seen on theYNC

@アップルパイ saying that "western people are too loose" sounds... oversimplified. I think you have a misunderstanding of why people in the west give their children a lot of freedom.

The idea is not to let kids do whatever they want, but rather let them arrive at the correct decision themselves. I think all kids naturally hate hearing "because I said so", and are naturally resistant to accepting their parents advice (despite them having more experience)

You might not care that kids don't like being told what to do, but there's a lot of benefits that appear when a person feels confident in the route they are taking in life. Everything becomes easier.

If your kid wants to touch the stove -- you can either monitor them to make sure they don't burn themselves, or you can let them get burned once and not have to deal with it ever again. The kid walks away with a bandaid and life experience.

That's the ideology behind it anyway -- not necessarily saying it's perfect, but it's not without reason.

@アップルパイ Like  @khakis said, speak for yourself. My parents are Chinese and I'm very well aware that the norm surrounding our culture is to have high academic expectations and to achieve success. But it's absurd for you to say that the western style of education "spoils" their kids. Freedom is the single greatest gift that any parent can hand down to their children, and I don't believe an overly authoritarian style of parenting will necessarily do any good or solve any problems.

"We choose to be strict because the west have shown us the alternative and we don't find it better in any way". But have you? I was not once forced to do homework, chores, tutoring or any other extra-curricular activities. My parents–albeit Chinese–chose to give me freedom in deciding what life I want to live. And guess what? I'm a straight A student. Not because my parents forced me into hellish amounts of academic studies, but because they respect my own ambitions in my life, and they allow me the freedom to pursue what I want, not what they want.

It's a parent's duty to teach their children how to live their life. It is not their duty to manipulate their children's' lives the way they want to. This "spoil culture" you're referring to is mostly an inaccurate generalisation of western-style education where wealthy parents simply give their children too much freedom without providing any guidance. That parenting is destined to go wrong, but that doesn't make freedom wrong in itself–and it certainly doesn't justify the many stereotypical Asian parents out there who are surrendering the freedom of their children due to their own expectations.

"We choose to be strict because the west have shown us the alternative and we don't find it better in any way". But have you? I was not once forced to do homework, chores, tutoring or any other extra-curricular activities. My parents–albeit Chinese–chose to give me freedom in deciding what life I want to live. And guess what? I'm a straight A student. Not because my parents forced me into hellish amounts of academic studies, but because they respect my own ambitions in my life, and they allow me the freedom to pursue what I want, not what they want.

It's a parent's duty to teach their children how to live their life. It is not their duty to manipulate their children's' lives the way they want to. This "spoil culture" you're referring to is mostly an inaccurate generalisation of western-style education where wealthy parents simply give their children *too much* freedom without providing any guidance. That parenting is destined to go wrong, but that doesn't make freedom wrong in itself–and it certainly doesn't justify the many stereotypical Asian parents out there who are surrendering the freedom of their children due to their own expectations.

アップルパイ  I would like to say that just because the strict parenting style Jennifers parents exhibited  is considered the norm in some places that doesn’t make it alright. And different people can be deeply affected by different things as trauma is subjective. Obviously I dont know these people personally and I cant speak for individual events. But being pressured by your parents to the point where you feel like you have to lie simply to not be seen as a disappointment is not okay. It is also reasonable to assume that the injury she got while figure skating was traumatic, as it was something she excelled at and had a genuine future in and she could never do it again. Obviously all of this does not, and can never excuse the premeditated murder of your parents but I do think things could have ended up differently if she had been raised in a different environment. Obviously her parents weren’t treating her that way out of malice, but it can still be incredibly damaging.

i don't think id be able to handle my dad screaming like that

And after this she jokes "My father drives a Mercedes, and he loves this baby." 1:30:50 Psychopath.

@Liqrit Rs why is that hilarious to you? R u serious?!

@khakis one can teach a beggar how to fish, and someone like you will come and say it's too stressful for them so just give them fish instead. One person induce malice with the method, doesn't mean everyone does it out of malice. I'd even argue that parents who discipline their kids out of malice are extremely rare. The fact that it's the norm to be strict in asian culture means it works, even in contrast to the spoil culture of the west. Being strict and supportive to positive outcome while harsh and punishing to negative outcome almost never produce suicidal kids, while spoiling them and letting them do whatever they want ALWAYS ruins their life. We choose to be strict because the west have shown us the alternative and we don't find it better in any way.

@アップルパイ just speak for yourself. It's not the same for everyone. A lot of these people commit suicide for not feeling good enough, even in other countries.

@CombustibleLemon72 his parenting style isn't horrifying, it's in contrast to other parents in that country is. That is how typical chinese/vietnamese/japanese parents raise their kids and it isn't considered as horrifying here because it is the norm, and the kids won't think of their parents as horrifying or awful because of their way of raising their kids, instead being thankful of them as they grow up. But when it's in contrast with other parents who spoil their kids into creating a culture of free spirited party all night free sex free drugs kind of parenting, of course the disciplined kid would falsely think that their parents is horrible.

What truly is horrifying is the contrast with other parents in combination with kids being kids, wanting to do whatever the fuck they want. I was raised in similar environment as that jennifer, and what I am thankful of is that I wasn't aware of how other parents really raised their kids. I mean, I did a bit aware of it, but thankfully I did try my best not to victimized myself in that situation and kept thinking that my parents raised me that way because they truly love me and want the best for me.

I really am grateful for that because today instead of my parents lying deep underground forever, they are fighting over who's the most loved grandparent by my kids. As if all of my hatred and jealousy back then when other kids partying while I'm having supplementary lessons are absolutely insignificant. Also the reason why I move out to singapore, to live along other people who will also apply the similar strict guideline of raising kids instead of "free" countries that spoil their kids and create that contrast.

Barbara Von Traumer - Yeah, I watched the video, but I didnt memorize the exact time at which a specific thing happened in a video 1.5 hours long.

@nica omg why are they all coming for you sjsjsjs it’s just a question

: ( what kind of kid kills their own parents .

@Becca Sertic Part that's killing me is this last 7 minutes.

I had to skip over that part. So terrifying.

@CombustibleLemon72 Lmao all of them are in the wrong

Not as horrifying as his parenting style lol

@Shlumpyx4 that's not weird. If that's the case then watching this video in your logic is weird enough


The terrifying thing is, if she just refused to talk to the police and justify it as cant deal whith the trauma, she would probably never been caught.

depends on what communication data they had etc. was she planning the murder over fb chat etc

@klarge24 would anybody have ever found it it she was never a suspect?

@CYBERNETIC Honey, I'm not attacking you or attaching blame.  I'm just stating how the police operate.  I'm sorry for your loss.

@Vicki Crouch im going to reply to this regardless of how insensitive your comment is.

she died in her sleep. just went to sleep and didnt wake up. and the questions werent about what anyone else did or might have done to her, it was about possible causes and family history. it was about medical things and how the meds she was taking affected her and about how she was feeling. it was never about foul play for even a second. they knew she died in her sleep. and they could never figure out how she died.

@CYBERNETIC Family and close friends are always the first to be considered as potential perpetrators by law enforcement.

No, they had a full text text message conversation planning the murders

@Харин АлександрTrueee

@Харин АлександрTrueee

@CYBERNETIC I’m so sorry, I know not a long time had passed but I hope you’re doing better

@Annoying Neighbour she would have never even been a suspect

THAT is the moral of the story here......specially if you're innocent. NEVER voluntarily speak to the police. NEVER.

He said numerous times "I"m on your side" no, he's not. He's there for one reason: to get her to confess. In many cases, even if the person is completely innocent, he's there to get them to confess.

i was questioned as a "witness" after my mom died in february. trust me when i say they dont just brush you off if youve gone through a traumatic event. law enforcement does not care about your mental health or feelings whatsoever.

There's 2 main things to consider here. First she is young and when people are young they think they know everything and are smarter than they actually are; while the older you become you start to realize that you really don't know anything lol Second it's one thing to have a plan and be prepared for an interrogation it's an entirely different thing to actually implement that plan. You could know every interrogation technique in the book and have counter plans to deal with all of it but knowing doesn't prepare you for what you will experience and psychological manipulations are very difficult to overcome even if you know the manipulation technique happening.

@Харин Александр if that so she still can refused to talk and use his right to remain silence

i understand the need to control the story but ive always thought it would in some ways be easier to pretend to be catatonic

They found dna and text messages later...... she woulda got caught no matter what

@Anjali Srivastava yea you don't have to say a word they can't make you talk to them and they can't hold you unless you're under arrest

I think if her dad would not have survived and if she didn't make such an elaborate lie about the incident then MAYBE she could have gotten off. She could have easily said she hid and given a statement about hiding in the bedroom while she heard her parents murders, then they leave and she calls for 911. If her witness statement satisfied them, I doubt they would have been checking phone records and such. But regardless, she most likely would have gotten caught regardless.

@Jess Maree
Was the body ever found though?

Huge difference between lack of evidence and mountains of it.

615 people so far agree with you which shows how little people know on such matters.

A guy in my state his wife went missing, husband refused to talk, daughters were upset. Evidence found he killed his wife. He still refused to talk and only got 9 years with a possibility of only 5.

She could procrastinate but ultimately she would have been interrogated and that time it wud be without any form of sympathy

I thought the same, but the text messages and her dad surviving would have done her in regardless. Even as a witness she may have still insisted on having a lawyer. This way she'd have someone acting as a shield of sorts. In the end, she as guilty as sin. Though her parents have to bear a small portion of the responsibility for putting her and her brother under such pressure. I also believe Jennifer's psychopathy is her parents own psychopathy, expressed through the unrealistically strict demands they made on their children, taken to a higher level. It has been shown psychopathy can run in families.

She would have gotten caught still. Remember, when the investigators would have gotten to know about her backstory, not through her own lips, but maybe that of her friends or other sources, she would definitely become a suspect. Her father testifying that she wasn't tied but roaming will also bring suspicion to her, if not  convict her. And as the narrator said, the police unearthed the whole conversation between her and her bf through forensics despite being done on a burner phone. So the truth would have come out. Just would have taken longer.

@Stephen Filer True. And the father didnt die which meant she would have to explain how she was free during the whole thing. Overall she just made this a lot harder on herself by talking. A good lawyer could maybe pull up some crazy story to explain some stuff if she didnt talk, but for the sake of justice, thank god she did

She still wouldn't have gotten away with it. Remember how the burner phones were found? That alone could have been enough for her to be sent to trial

Being the only lead they had there is no way she couldn't just not talk to the police. She was just giving a witness statement at first and the irregularities in what she said caught the police on to her. Not talking would almost be worse because she's the only person with any information. She survived, wasn't sexually assaulted and had no visible injuries.

@Jeff Carroll being not as smart as you think you are is the thing one realizes as they grow out of adolescence and understand how the world around them actually functions...

but they got the text messages between her and her boyfriend, she would be caught regardless

Her co conspirators or her dad would have given her up.

I think she would be suspect#1 after her dad start speaking

Харин Александр

Yeah this plan and execution was doomed from the start. These people were not as smart as they thought they were.

Hehe you`re not the first person who had this idea. No way you could be successful with such a lie. Even if it`s true, she would have been interrogated as a witness for sure


You can’t blame the parents for her actions but you can learn a lesson as parents to make your child feel safe to always tell the truth

@DiceZ as someone who has childhood trauma and is mentally crippled… I rather be like this than be in jail and have to live with the fact I murdered my family who supported me financially my entire life. Jennifer pan would’ve been nothing without her family. And even with all of the opportunities provided to her, she was selfish and stupid.

@Tasty Noodle this is the reality for millions of people around the world. I do feel bad for all of these people who have to live in such strict households but it’s not uncommon for Asian families. And none of my Asian friends were pathological liars who grew up and murdered their parents. There’s no excuse for her. Maybe if she was 15 and couldn’t leave her home?? But there’s still emancipation. And fuck she’s a 24 year old woman living at home because she had no job and no education (which would’ve been paid for by her parents btw - so she’d come out of school with a hell of a lot less debt than most of us)

Btw i live in the same province and less than 2 hours away from Jennifer Pans family. Im very familiar with the type of family she had. She’s a monster.

@Ramanand You literally said people can blame them for what she did. No, I don't excuse their horrible expectations on her, but going as far as to kill them? That's far worse. I swear, people sympathize with this woman way too much, the are the victims, and you're saying they are at fault of their daughter murdering them, that is victim blaming

@Nani_Bow no. The parents don't deserve it. Even I grew up in a strict household. Killing is always a choice and it's always primarily the culprit's fault

@Ramanand cough cough victim blaming cough cough

Don't get me wrong setting unrealistic expectations on your child is shitty. But the victims here are Jennifer's family and yet people seem to symapthize more with her than with the ones who were literally assaulted and murdered

@Emma Thomson Millions of people grow up just like Jennifer and they don't kill people, you're right. They just end up permanently traumatized and mentally crippled for the rest of their life. Much better.

@Ramanand agreed. Murder was very much unnecessary, and I just can't find a single reason why going down that road would have been beneficial for her. She wasn't in physical danger, she had a boyfriend she could have left with, if things came to that. nothing justifies the conspiracy she came up with against her parents' lives.

That. Being. Said.

I know a lot of people will disagree with me, I know this will make people angry, but she's not alone with the blame here. This, right here, is what abusive parenting does to a child. This is what they will end up growing up. This is the person they will become. Not strictly the murder part, that's just an extreme example, but the irrational thinking, going to the extremes, lying, fabricating realities. In extreme cases this could lead to tragic violence. Psychology is an incredibly complex topic, and there are still precious little we know about the human brain and how it works; how it survives. Not allowing a person to develop normally, will lead to anomalies, and extremes. "What will happen to me?" she's still in "I want to get away from my parents" survival mode. The parents certainly did not deserve being killed. I don't care who you are, and what you did, murder is never a reasonable punishment (oh we can argue all night about the idiocy of death penalty, too). But if those parents had survived? I would keep them away from Jennifer as far as legally possible. Never to allow them to contact Jennifer without supervision approval first.

Again, hate me all you want, I'm perfectly content with it, and you have every right to your opinion, just as I have to mine, but they did this to her.

However, the act was done, she conspired against her parents and got them killed. That is guilty, clear as light of day. But putting the blame on her solely, is missing the bigger picture.

So be kind and understanding to your kids, people. It's one thing to want them to be successful, and helping them get there, and it's another thing entirely to force them to be successful and abuse them to get there at all costs. Even at the cost of your kids' own mental wellbeing. Right below murder, and physical abuse, it's the next worst thing you could do to them. Though I would argue, that mental and physical abuse are equally as disgusting.

@Emma Thomson did she really had an option? What would happened if she chose to stay with her boyfriend? She didn't have proper education to work (and I suppose it wasn't her fault, not everyone can be good at everything - maybe if she would be allowed to pick up easier school,it would be so much better), the only activity she was really good in was gone (also not her fault) and her boyfriend was a drug dealer (witch we don't know anything about - why, what was her opinion on that, how was their relationship etc.). Also she must have been totally mentally demaged from the stress, expectations, lies... What choice it was then? What life would she had? If you push people and cross their boundaries and almost mentally abuse them (by controlling her's life on every level, conditioning your love to good grades etc, it feels like she didn't felt loved and safe in that family).  I'm not saying that it is a valid reason for killing somebody, that's wrong for sure, I'm just saying that calling her bitch without compassion is (in my opinion) a quick and easy solution.

You can blame them, but cannot justify it being a reason valid enough. Mistake on both sides


I am forever glad that her dad lived through this. I hope he’s doing better.

As the first generation daughter of a Korean mother I can tell you this is very true.My mom grew up horribly poor and had to claw her way up to gain opportunities. Then, that sadly transferred to immense pressure on me and my sister to excel. I don't make light of what Jennifer did, especially seening how much calmer she looks in this video when she believed she was getting away with it. Or the flippant way she talks about how her dad screamed. But, I understand where something like that can build from.

@Nis B You make a very good point. I’m not a competitive person, so having parents who encouraged it would make me even more of an introvert than I already am! Really seems like she had a no win situation.

@Mikaela Fox Culture is derived through the generations, so I would say it's both. Also, Asian countries (not just the generic Asian ones) tend to have high population mixed with scarcity of opportunity, which breeds immense competitiveness within the masses, whose effects we can very clearly observe now in post-colonialism.

@Nis B I hope he doesn’t blame himself. I’ve always thought it was a cultural thing. Besides, no one ever expects their children to lash out like that. Jen could’ve just left her family and moved in with him and said so long. I don’t know how she thought she could get away with this. So foolish.

I have to wonder whether he blames himself for what transpired, at least partially. I hope he's living a fruitful life, but I also hope he understands just how terrible his and his wife's parenting was. That being said, I know it's almost entirely a generational thing, passed down from parent to child since longer than anyone can remember.


I love how a common theme of the liars is they seek approval, asking "...right?" at the end of their false statement... and then the investigator, when lying to Jennifer about the infrared system, seeks her approval by asking this cliché question.


The last investigator is an incredible professional. Watching him work a process and having it explained as he does it is awesome

@heer nezirov he’s a freaky dude but killed multiple woman lol

@heer nezirov I found him, his name is col. Russell Williams

@Ice wallocum i thought you where joking with the “canadian military colonel wearing womans underwear” 😂, ill definitely look him up

@heer nezirov look him up dude, I think the detective gets all the spot light considering how he was able to break him down

I’m pretty sure this is the same detective that took down that Canadian military Colonel wearing woman’s underwear


The only time she doesn’t sound like she’s lying and isn’t having trouble while doing it is when she’s telling the story of setting up her own murder. It’s obviously exactly what she did when asking the hitman to get her parents…


Saying, “I’m tied upstairs” is immediately suspicious raising questions such as: how is she calling if she is restrained? if she has freed herself and made the call why is she saying she is still “tied”? Why would intruders shoot the parents but restrain the daughter?

@DiceZ Its obvious NOT to point at it because professionals can use it later as a contradiction, etc.<br>Even if its an obvious lie, you shall divide  it in differents interviews so you can use that for the case later.

@DiceZ Its obvious NOT to point at it because professionals can use it later as a contradiction, etc.
Even if its an obvious lie, you shall divide  it in differents interviews so you can use that for the case later.

I also was curious about this. Doesn't that obviously point at her lying? Maybe the operator could tell, and the detective already knew from the start.


Amazing professional work, you can see how the first detective is really very good and like the second one is the best. Such implicit pressure would feel really heavy even when completely innocent, can't imagine how she was feeling knowing she's guilty and slowly realising they know it too.


4 and a half hours and she didn't confess, she changed her narrative to it was her supposed to get killed which is what got her arrested cause they knew it was a lie but she never actually confessed to the contract killing of her parents. between that and the backstory of why she had it done in the first place (never living up to her parents expectations) I think they need to make a movie about this girl.


It’s amazing how clueless people are. She said the hit was to kill her? Why would you pay people to kill you at your home?


It's scary how, even knowing that she's guilty, I sympathised for her at least a little bit... most asian parent's tactics are lowkey abusive and yeah, please don't do this to your kids and also let them communicate their problems. That being said, also please don't plan the murder of your parents


This guy is basically giving us free top tier documentaries.

That's a stretch lol but yeah this channel is dope

This comment is on every one of these videos

This comment is on every one of these videos

@99daze that doesn't negate the fact he's getting paid to do it. Isn't providing it for free

@Helladamnleet yes, but “there are ads” does not change the fact the video is free. The original comment was complaining, saying that ads mean that it isn’t free. He could’ve put this video behind a paywall, but he put it on YouTube for free with ads. I don’t know why everyone is finding this so confusing

@99daze No, but he gets paid for the ads....

@99daze No, but he gets paid for the ads....

@Alex i'm tryna see how many likes i can get lol.

@Alex i'm tryna see how many likes i can get lol.

Yes it's apparent this narrator is well versed in the law and quite knowledgeable relevant  to psychology and strategic tactics used by investigative homicide detectives. He singlehandedly made this so entertaining, interesting & thought provoking. Great Stuff!!!  If there was an Oscar category for best investigative analytical films...he would surely gain an Oscar.

You just gonna make this comment on all his videos?

@Blacksmith SOG you're obviously not a regular here. This channel is GOLD, a unique, no-nonsense, exceptionally well-researched, and explained in depth from an insider's point of view. Some JCS videos talk about never heard before cases or add a truck-load of invaluable information about the more known cases.

@KJ I know that. But it’s still free to the viewer even if there are ads

@99daze no, they mean the ad revenue is paying him for the videos

@Ben Tarr all good bro I just really like you

@Ben Tarr all good bro I just really like you

YouTube is paying him... thats why we see commercials but yea pretty amazing. Jodi Arias is on this channel and WOW

@Jacob K I wasn't being facetious. Learning is only a good thing. Knowledgable lets you understand and appreciate life and do what's right, and increases your intelligence and wisdom allowing you to understand more and more easily.

This guy is basically giving us free top tier comments.

im trying to watch all his video man and i always read this comment XD

Lol wtf this man legit copy & pasted somebody else comment

Calm down thickums . So why don’t you drop him some cash 💰

Haven't heard that one a trillion times...

Haven't heard that one a trillion times...

At least I wasn't the only one to notice 😉

At least I wasn't the only one to notice 😉

@Blacksmith SOG but breaking down why they act a certain way and giving more details about the case makes it way better then raw footage

Would you prefer he charge us for them? Some things better left unsaid.

I love how these videos give me further insight into interrogations that we wouldnt see in other crime documentaries. I also appreciate that he doesnt include a long intro, annoying dramatic background music, sound effects, terrible dramatic recreation scenes, and most importantly, I respect how he sticks to the facts, instead of adding personal opinions, like calling the person evil and basically going on about what a terrible person they are, like Nancy Grace and so many other series. Unbiased reporting is really rare these days, sadly, so I really respect and admire this narrators level of professionalism. I think he deserves his own paid series on ID Channel or Amazon Prime/Netflix!

@George Best because you would already be making a point to stay informed by the people that actually know

@Mindy S because it's the only thing on ur mind, if u were normal, and there are no doctors about, just police and they would know. Why wouldn't u at least ask them??

@George Best yeah but why would you ask them instead of the doctors?

@Mindy S she is in an interrogation room, speaking to the police dealing with her mother's murder, and at the moment her dad's assault, which may turn to murder. Obviously they would know the state of her father and would be able to convey if he was still alive or not.

@Cindy Tartt how can you be cold in Australia lmao

Not to mention the countless more videos he has on Patreon. I think YouTube screwed him financially, so the vast majority of his videos are behind a Patreon subscription. Worth it if you can afford it.

@Dave Davies strongly disagree. You don't call your electric company to ask why your trash wasn't picked up lol

@Severe Weather Center Thats pretty much it at face value, no maybe or mystery

@Mindy S She'd ask anyone who she thought might know, or be able to help in some way. Well, not her, but a normal person who didn't plot their murders.

How many videos has this gotten copy and pasted on lol

@Helladamnleet do you have to pay for the ads?

@Helladamnleet do you have to pay for the ads?

@Cindy Tartt she would ask the hospital, not the police

I love that there's no stupid dramatic music or sound effects.

And also how to not talk to the police if you know your guilty😂


Obviously, she had a lot of resentment towards her parents, but no excuse for murder!! By watching her interrogations,  she had no remorse! She and her accomplist's deserve to rot in prison.  Sorry


Undoubtedly used to be my favorite channel to binge on YT. Makes me so sad to see what an app is doing to one of their top creators😔


I have this constant suspicion that this channel is like a criminology-backed social experiment to examine how easily swayed an audience or jury can be when faced with edited video evidence of innocent people’s testimonies and/or behaviours during them, and basically the fact that our collective assessment of these as believable can be compared and replicated by lawyers.

Then I had another cone.


I literally stayed up for half the night watching this, this is truly spine-tingling horror! 😱


Crazy how if she planned a believable reason to not be at her house at the time all of this might have gone differently


This girl really hated her parents. And it takes God's grace to be free from that.
Grew up 'not liking' my mum but having grown and, thanks to God, being a social scientist, I have come to see the world through her own eyes and I understood.....Most times parents just want the best for their kids and though the way they go about it might not be ideal....they always want the best for their kids.
That being said, I think parents should learn to be flexible at times, not all your kids will want to be Docs and Lawyers and whatever you want, some want to just be a DJ or a Footballer or something else...The first thing a parent should want is a child's happiness then they can guide them on the right way to get there....God help all parents out there.


My story is exactly hers but instead of skating, it was track and field.  I faked all my report cards in high school until the end of Grade 11. Luckily, I had an amazing sister that helped me get through everything and talk to my parents.  I was able to finished Grade 12 with an 86% average, and just finished repeating 3 Grade 12 courses again, to get a 92% average.  I'm so glad I had people around to stop me before I got too out of hand.<br>edit: and my relationship with my parents is a bit better :)

I had a friend in a similar situation and she wasn't allowed to go anywhere. Her parents made her study 6 hours every night and she wasn't allowed on field trips, instead her parents opted to have her stay home and study. Her parents kept such a tight grip on her that when she moved for university, she went completely wild and became an alcoholic. She was able to get her life back in order but it was a tough road for her.


I enjoy watching your videos more than I like watching Netflix. They are so well put together. Lovely work.


The amount of patience these investigators have is immaculate. I would be pissed after 10 mins and say "we deadass know it's you Jennifer, literally stop gaslighting me😒"

@GodzillaRoses II as i thought the comments are full of ppk with tunnel vision torture is not only physical its also psychological,the police and army do it and its defenetly effective but these days its all about the "rights" ,on another note most ppk in this clips are 100% guilty like the narrator said if you are brought in for questioning like this girl here they know 100% that you had somthing to do with the crime or they straight up know you did it they just need you to "confess" so my point is still valid

Lying and gaslighting are not the same thing!

I don’t think she was gaslighting the detective. I don’t think you know what gaslighting means

@RaeAllizae  studies show that one in every comment section is simply someone spreading negativity.

i don’t think they would gaslighted more like frustrated and annoyed

@Ushiwakamaru • 13 years ago are you flirting with me?

No 🧢 I couldn’t sit there and be lied to I woulda snapped “you think I’m stupid Jennifer?? You know how long I been doing this shit?”

@Rachel you’re crazy if you believe that. 😜

@ktothec24 when the language is perfected thoughtcrime will be impossible.

Gaslighting isn’t lying.

Gaslighting I’d slowly convincing someone they’re crazy.

You know, all of social media.

but honey... gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss-

but honey... gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss-

They have to make everything is foolproof so that it holds up in court else the defense will shred things apart. It's fascinating about the tiny details, like a dry tissue, post the fabrication of grief and panic.

Why doesn’t anyone know what “gaslighting” means. It’s not that hard. She’s not gaslighting, she’s <b>LYING.</b>

Why doesn’t anyone know what “gaslighting” means. It’s not that hard. She’s not gaslighting, she’s *LYING.*

Theyr Canadian man lol... they’re too nice, they were born patient

Y’all took the word gaslight so fast😭😭😭😭

Y’all took the word gaslight so fast😭😭😭😭

FOR REAL OMFG like jeneffur my gorl, u pretty but u still did it ong.

Yes, me too! Their patience is something I could only admire, I get angry just watching these interrogations.

@ktothec24 I entirely disagree, I find my generation to be rife with extemporaneously grandiloquent prose and sesquipedalian rhetoric.

@MsZsc it's not illegal to accuse someone of a crime in any way, they can legally lie to you and accuse you of any crime they wish.

@Amicx k torture doesn't work as a legitimate means of getting a confession or interrogation because the suspect will eventually say anything just to get the pain to stop, regardless of whether they're guilty or not. it's just forcing a possibly innocent person to confess to a crime they might've not even committed through brute force.

@Amicx k Just hope it's not you as an innocent suspect in there. <br>To the original commenter: that's thankfully why you're not a detective.

@Amicx k Just hope it's not you as an innocent suspect in there.
To the original commenter: that's thankfully why you're not a detective.

@Amicx k Or you'll accidentally kill the suspect and now you're arrested with no information.

Actually use of force and torture should be allowed then youll get confessions  minutes into an interrogation

Second Detective: "Bruh, on god, tell the truth, you wilin rn."

And that my friend, is why you are not a detective lmao

@V01D can we all just stop fighting between our generations and accept that the government doesnt not have our best interest in mind :) so we need to not argue over some petty sht and actually band together.

Me too! “You’re gonna fry either way so just answer our questions and I’ll try to help you out!” 😂😂

@RaeAllizae i don't think they've used it incorrectly??

Can people stop misusing 'gaslight already? 🤦🏻♀

@ktothec24 lol that’s every new generation ever you boomer

Omg same I think of this everytime I watch these videos. "STOP PLAYING GAMES AND JUST SAY IT JAMES WE ALREADY KNOW" Like it's annoying.

I imagined you said Jennifer with some Sass 💁🏼♂

they're literal psychopaths, they don't need patience


“You said you were on my side “ like wtf for real??! How can she expect to kill her parents and even get away with that if she believe everything they tell her or not knowing what a lawyer is 🤣


I want to take a moment and really say this: Don't force your kids to live as epr your expectations. And really, READ YOUR KIDS. Parents can tell which kid is a bad apple or perhaps just below average at the glory professions. They'd be alive if they'd just accepted that she was a dumbass. They pushed her and they pushed her, knowing she was a pathological liar and would go to any extent to justify her actions. Feel sorry for the parents.


After reading some of the comments I am appalled that some people are actually blaming the parents for their own murder.  Are people forgetting that Jennifer at the time of plotting the murders was 24 years old!  She was NEVER FORCED to move back in with her parents, she was given that option or she could continue to do what she wanted, but no longer receive MONEY from her parents (which I absolutely agree with).  If you're not going to college to better yourself, but choose to run around with drug dealers and other criminals, why would I want to support you (and most likely them) with my hard-earned money?  It's obvious that what really bothered this 24 year old grown woman was not strictness, but rather she was afraid that her parents would cut her off completely financially----GREED.  She moved back in with a plan to killed them for the inheritance (and probably life insurance) point blank.  She wanted the money, the house, the cars, etc. and God only knows had she gotten away with it, if she and her boyfriend would have then gone after her brother!

@hana preach. It's not about blaming her parents or excusing her of the crime, more like how did she end up in that position in the first place? How bad was the life in her home? What signs can we look out for in others that something is not right and someone needs therapy.

it's not justification - it's understanding which are two very different things; for many kids growing up with emotionally abusive parents it's easy to understand how a person could snap and lose all sense of morality, that does not make it right of course and it should be punished but you could see how it happened

@David Gold That is not what I said, your interpretation is interesting, but you go ahead and judge me anyway (as you are the one speaking of judging).  Have a lovely day also.

@J C So what, as a grown 24-year-old woman you let them go their way/living your life, get a job and you and your criminal boyfriend stop depending on their money.  Are you seriously justifying her killing her parents because they wouldn't want to go to her wedding (probably to a drug dealer--every parent's dream), or be in her kids' lives, or speaking to her again?  That's what you call "extreme abuse"?  Interesting, because when she planned to murder them, she didn't think that they would never go to her wedding, or see her children, or ever speak to her again?  Listen, to call that "extreme abuse" is ridiculous (no offense).  If you can't see her greed for what it is, that's fine.  It's just really sad that the parents who are the real victims get automatically judged without ever having an opportunity to tell their side of the story.  Have a good one.

@Carly Caye Yet it is an excuse for a grown 24 year old woman who was squandering her parents money with drug dealers and criminals.  "Weren't exactly loving".... yet her mother cared about nothing else when the intruders came into the house except Jennifer's safety (according to Jennifer).  And it may "sound like" her parents weren't exactly loving, but too bad her mother isn't here to tell her side of the story and we've never gotten a chance to hear her father's either.

The parents actually said that they would cut her from their lives in every way, forever. Not just financially. <br>Never speak to her again. Never go to her wedding. Never be grandparents to her future children. It is extreme abuse in several ways.

it sounds like her parents weren't exactly loving,   which definitely made it easier for her to have them killed.   she wasn't taught how to have empathy, kindness, love towards her own family.  this is a factor,   but not an excuse.

I agree that money and material objects were the reason why she ultimately chose to kill them instead of leave them. However, the situation as a whole is not necessarily that black and white. Many of the other comments were written by Asians or those of Asian decent who have experienced the same authoritative parenting style. I looked that up and it’s actually pretty horrific that parents could be so cold towards their children. If they can empathize with her even though she murdered her parents, then that’s a tell-tale sign that there’s an issue in that department. Psychological abuse from parents can really do a number on the mind of a child. It doesn’t justify murder at all whatsoever, but knowing all this, it’s easy to conclude that she didn’t become this way on her own.


Definitely not defending her but I think it's interesting to see how having overbearing and forceful parents can manifest into serious mental/behavioral deficits in adulthood.

@T Roch I had Irish Catholic parents that literally tracked me everywhere I went and have told me they don't live me as much as my siblings bc I dont go-to church , I just moved and lived in shit places for a while , I don't blame my parents I am my own person.

@Jack Klachian Well maybe but the trade off is that typically they come out with behavioral issues like anxiety, anger, and/or low self-esteem.

I've heard stories about what happens to people with parents like that. It's never good.

@Countries To Go perhaps they would have found a solution, if she didn't fake her diploma and grades. They didn't knew about it until it was too late.

99.999% of kids with overbearing parents end up not murdering their parents. And most lead a decent and probably prosperous life.

You either wanna kill inwardly or outwardly. She chose to kill outwardly.

Tell me about it, bruh I am this 👌close to pulling a Jennifer

@Viktor Dickinson her parents forced her into that role, curfew at 9pm, can’t date, and can only leave the house for school all at 24 is crazy overbearing

I genuinely can't imagine having parents like that. I've always counted my blessings that my parents cared more about my health over grades, since in their culture health is the best form of wealth. At the same time I couldn't imagine killing my parents.

Maybe just don't be a NEET and listen to your parents

Yeah absolutely. Of course not every victim of abuse becomes a murderer, and she had a choice, but I feel this is a case of "set up the conditions for a fire... Be surprised when you get burnt"

@bakatsugu I chose the other reaction. Internalize it. Thanks for the zero self esteem mother!!

@T Roch I feel you. I’d have stayed with my dad if his thing wasn’t religious brainwashing...

@insaaanestuff To be clear, she wasn't forced to act in this way. She chose to act this way.

@insaaanestuff To be clear, she wasn't _forced_ to act in this way. She _chose_ to act this way.

@Sarah S you are right, but this situation is different. An only girl raised by parents from Vietnam. Over in Vietnam, certain parts it’s by command. Your parents choose who you will marry. She didn’t like her life. She always did things to please her strict parents then she got with some drug dealer who probably manipulate her to make things even worst. I could see myself in that situation, but it’s a good thing I have five brothers and one sister plus my cousins so we could always get my parents to chill a bit. They were strict, I got 97s plus all throughout high school. If I was trying hard and I got a “C”. I would be really sad. Strict parents would call you stupid and dumb all the dam time

@Sarah S right that’s why I said CAN but thanks for clarifying that

This doesn't always happen...the children of strict parents don't always become murderers.

I think so too. And people think being strict with your kids (to this extent) is fine, healthy even.

@Countries To Go this would of never happen because stressing all your life

Absolutely, if your parents are like hers you gotta leave** and deal with the parts of that decision, that's for sure. But from a psychological analysis is interesting to see what children of strict parents are able to do as a result of that weird strict education. Not their fault but who raised her?

All people deserve empathy. No one is perfect.

Preach! To me it's interesting to see like, what people live through to get to that point. Count myself lucky to be as sane as I am after my precious mother's... special parenting. Wouldn't kill her but I'll cry manically and drink champaign when she die of old age (or a hobo fight nowadays, I guess)

I wonder what would have happened if her parents were empathetic to her C's and tried to help her in school after she got injured.

Ugh I know the fact I started this video with "GIRL SAME" and then "she murdered her parents" I was like ooooooo not same lmao. I just took option 2 - dip out no more parent money be disowned GOODBYE

I’m chronically depressed because of my extreme social anxiety that has limited all personal and professional opportunities in my life. All because of my strict, overprotective, emotionally abusive parents.


No matter what you are going through , Do not kill the woman who carried you for 9months and the man who supported you throughout your life .


Am I the only one feeling completely repulsed on how the investigator makes her confess, trying to be friendly with her justifying her, lying to her (i'm doing this for your mom, your mom is speaking to me rn) while at the same time ruining her life forever? without the confession she would have probably being able to start living her life. She's been abused her whole life, she choose the wrong path but I don't blame her.


So glad I watched til the very end! Last ten seconds after the narration lol oh dear.<br>Weirdly enough I previously commented about that very sentence about the Mercedes and ‘loving that baby,’ which you wouldn’t say if you loved your parents and were innocent after this!

GIven that the boyfriend organized the for the murder of her parents, I think they were justified in thinking he was bad for their daughter lmao


She even said that when she went downstairs she saw 3 shadows, after telling him multiple times the light was off. Idk but where I come from there are no shadows in the dark.


If you're planning to do this, at least let them actually tie you up and go through all of it (willingly though) so you don't have to lie because it actually happened. She made it so hard for herself...<br>Btw I'm putting myself in her mind because I think it's interesting, not actually rooting for her :p
