THE TIGER PARENTS | The Obsessive Pursuit of Success | A Tale of Control, Rebellion, and Betrayal.
Jennifer Pan, raised by strict "tiger parents" obsessed with her success, faced immense pressure to excel academically and conform to their expectations. Despite early achievements in piano and figure skating, the pressure mounted as she progressed through school. Fearing her parents' disapproval, Jennifer resorted to forging report cards and lying about her academic performance.
Her controlled upbringing led her to rebel by secretly dating and lying about her whereabouts. Eventually, she concocted a plan to have her parents killed, believing it would grant her freedom to be with her boyfriend and inherit their wealth. However, her plan went awry, resulting in the murder of her mother and severe injuries to her father.
Despite initially fabricating a story of a home invasion, Jennifer confessed to hiring hitmen but claimed she intended to have herself killed. However, evidence contradicted her account, leading to her conviction, along with her boyfriend and the hitmen, for first-degree murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit murder.
Jennifer's trial revealed the complexities of her troubled upbringing, her desperation to break free from her parents' control, and the tragic consequences of her actions. Ultimately, she was sentenced to life in prison, leaving behind a shattered family and a father grappling with the loss of his wife and daughter's betrayal.

The Green Chain Killer | The Serial Killer Who Targeted Mothers & Children (Born To Kill)
The shocking crimes of serial killer Robert Napper who stalked mothers and their children in parks around London.
Serial killers are the dark stars of modern culture, but is it nature or nurture that creates a serial killer? Born To Kill takes an in-depth look at the cases of some of the most notorious murderers that have shocked the world.
In a span of rapes and murders from 15 July 1992 through November 1993, Robert Clive Napper (eventually known as The Green Chain Rapist) targeted mothers accompanied by children. He may not have been born to kill, but living under a wife-beating father and suffering sexual assault at thirteen from a family friend didn't sit well with his Asperger's syndrome diagnosis, his later identification as a paranoid schizophrenic, and his personal humiliation at having erectile dysfunction. His killings, though few, were abnormally savage.
