MAN: There's this thing inside of me, it's like...
the appetite.
It's like a wolf that's...
filling... the hunger.
♪
WOMAN: The sense of security in this Markham
neighborhood has been shaken.
The night of November the eighth,
three men forced their way into the home.
They demanded money and fired shots.
Police continue to search for these three suspects.
Her mother, 53-year-old Bich Ha, was shot and killed.
Father, 60-year-old Hann, was left with
a critical head wound.
24-year-old daughter Jennifer escaped unharmed
and was the one to call 911.
DETECTIVE: Just close that door for me.
BERRILL: She calls them gentlemen.
It raises concerns for me,
you know, when I see that -- That's an odd choice of word.
RAGHAVAN: Either she's careless about the way she uses words
or she has some affiliation,
some reason to treat the men with more courtesy
than you should treat a killer.
She's trying to be emotional and crossing
her arms in front of her chest
says, "Look, I've been victimized."
But the clarity of her thought
is inconsistent with -- With the body language.
She's still very, uh, clear-minded.
RAGHAVAN: I've worked with hundreds of women who have
been in violent situations, and when you're
recounting something this horrible,
so soon after, sometimes you're numb,
sometimes you're hysterical.
Her matter-of-fact tone is a reflection of the rehearsal.
She's rehearsed this.
BERRILL: He loves that baby.
I think it's a slip.
It could be that her father has displayed more love toward
his car than toward her,
and that there's some resentment on her part
about that.
RAGHAVAN: I found it interesting that she used
the word aesthetics.
So she's already saying her parents' life is fake.
WOMAN: Police have released this grainy video
taken from a neighbor's security camera.
It may be the suspect vehicle, and investigators are
hoping that someone may be able to identify it.
It's not clear at this time what was taken from the home.
♪
RAGHAVAN: She's panicked.
There's an interesting, um,
little girl sort of persona that she brings on, and I think
she really believes she's a little girl who's helpless
and needs help.
And at the same time, using
the helpless little girl to try to get sympathy.
She became completely enslaved by this
fantasy that was not even hers.
It was her parents'.
The first glimpse you have of her, you know, she seems, like,
almost like a child.
So now we get to see that she's capable
of definitely lying and fooling her parents,
and she's also complaining
about her parents on a certain level.
RAGHAVAN: I think most parents would be alarmed by
your boyfriend whose, sort of, primary goal in life
is to sell drugs.
Um, but particularly a strict family
that has these high social status expectations.
There probably was some part of her that could only
be attracted to someone who was not like her parents.
So someone who is rebellious, low-achieving
that she associated with being free.
RAGHAVAN: She tried to keep the fantasy of not disappointing
her parents and the fantasy of this perfect boyfriend alive at
the same time, but she couldn't do it.
Imagine five years of deceiving people,
deceiving friends, family, neighbors, everybody.
To live in this fantasy,
the fantasy was concrete and literal.
I want to live with Daniel and be happy ever after,
and I don't want to disappoint or anger my parents.
You really need to dissociate from your emotions
and your reactions in order to live in this fantasy.
♪
WOMAN: Hann Pan says he saw his daughter,
Jennifer, untied, whispering back and forth with one of
the intruders, and he described
that conversation as soft and friendly.
He says he could hear his wife
begging for their daughter's safety.
"Don't hurt her," she cried.
And then, the trigger was pulled.
♪
BERRILL: You can almost imagine her saying that line while
she was deceiving her parents and being given ultimatums.
"But what about me?"
You see that self-indulgence,
childlike narcissism -- Typical of psychopathy.
There's a disconnect, I think,
between trying to have her feet
in both worlds and to reach the point
where the only way to resolve the disconnect
is to murder your parents
speaks to her character pathology.
Psychopaths in general say whatever they need to
say to get whatever it is they want.
You know, I don't really think she wanted to die,
and I certainly don't believe
that she hired someone to come into her house
to just kill her.
♪
WOMAN: Prosecutors claim Jennifer conspired
with ex-boyfriend, Daniel Wong,
hiring three hitmen to carry out the attack.
During the 10-month trial,
the jury heard Jennifer Pan had spun a web of lies.
After four days of deliberations,
a jury found Jennifer Pan and Daniel Wong guilty of
first-degree murder and attempted murder.
