I recall hearing about this story on a true crime podcast some time ago, and seeing someone delve into such detailed analysis in an article is truly fascinating. While this particular case has been resolved, unlike the mysteries I often write about, the underlying narrative is one that should not be overlooked. Yes, the daughter hired someone to kill her own parents, but when we reflect on the story, the parents also played a significant role in shaping their daughter's mindset. They exerted pressure on her, forcing her into activities she didn't enjoy—a scenario that sometimes reminds me of my own childhood, with extra lessons after school and the like (fortunately, my parents weren't that extreme). However, recalling how the whole family was disappointed in me for getting two 7s in my grades is a situation children should never have to face; they shouldn't have to worry about calculations like 17 * 21 at their age.
I appreciate how the author divided each part and conducted thorough research for this article without showing bias towards either the parents or the daughter (as they are all culpable in this tragic tale). The style, imagery, and overall presentation are well-balanced, making it a piece worth studying and learning from.
Perhaps a collaboration in the future? Ms. Nguyen?
Thank you for the kind words, Mr. Cao! I gotta say, your focus on explaining the frequently overlooked side of the issues is absolutely brilliant. I'm glad you find this article fascinating and worth reading, it means a lot. And I'm open for future collaborations, so feel free to drop me a line anytime.
I agree that Jennifer's parents are the main factor that shapes her behavior leading to the incident. My parents were also strict about my studies and often required me to do my best so I understand the struggle, but to the extreme of Jennifer's parents? Luckily no (I think we can shake our hands on this). It's just so sad how she chose to do what she did.
That's correct and sad at the same time. Growing up in an Asian country where most parents pushed their children to study, I have read some cases where the children just ended up getting so depressed over their studies that they chose to end their lives, which is sad. But to hire people to kill your own parents is an entirely different extreme.

As a therapist I have observed that sometimes people can be pushed in a corner and they believe no healthy options are available.
