This is some crazy stuff.
The Washington Post reports on a girl’s elaborate web of deception and lies that somehow degenerated even further into the murder of her mother and critical injury to her father.
Details are outlined in an article published in the Toronto Life.
Jennifer Pan is described as a straight A student, but when her grades fell to a B she doctored her report card in an effort to win the continued approval of her parents.
The daughter of Vietnamese immigrants also won early admittance into Ryerson University in Toronto, but the acceptance was pulled when she flunked Calculus her senior year and failed to graduate even high school.
Still she bought books just as if she was attending the university and continued to live the lie. She even doctored a scholarship letter and told her parents she transferred to the University of Toronto where she would supposedly even graduate. When it came time for graduation, she told her parents there were not enough tickets and they would not be able to attend.
When her parents finally discovered this was all a hoax, they clamped down hard on their daughter, taking away privileges including her cell phone, lap top and banning her from going out on secret dates with her boyfriend.
However, the deception did not end. Her resentment against her parents became so intense, she hired three hit men to kill her parents. All were convicted of murder and attempted murder.
You can read how all this spun out of control and read the thoughts of Jennifer Lee, a sociology professor at the University of California Irvine, in the Washington Post.
