ONTARIO, CANADA: The latest Netflix crime documentary, 'What Jennifer Did' sheds light on the cold and calculated murder of Bich Ha Pan. The narrative begins in 2010 when Jennifer Pan called 911 to report that her home was being broken into and that she needed assistance immediately.
In this shocking tragedy, Jennifer's father, Huei Hann Pan, sustained potentially fatal injuries while her mother, Bich Ha Pan, was reported dead. In a dramatic turn of events, detectives solved the case flawlessly, and the truth was ultimately revealed, something no one in their wildest fantasies could have predicted.
What did Jennifer Pan reveal to investigators?
After the tragic assault on her home, Jennifer received an outpouring of sympathy from the public. However, as the investigation deepened, suspicions arose about Jennifer's involvement.
During intense interrogations, she confessed to a shocking revelation: she had hired a hitman with the intention of taking her own life, but tragically, her mother became the unintended victim.
Despite Jennifer's history of deceit, investigators followed leads from her phone records, linking her ex-boyfriend, Daniel Wong, to the crime. It was Daniel who facilitated contact with the hitman, known as Homeboy.

The police remained convinced that Jennifer's claims were yet another layer of fallacy, as the case unfolded into more than just a botched suicide. Piecing together the timeline, they discovered the sequence of events leading up to the murder.
Jennifer's text message to Homeboy, bearing the ominous words 'Game Over,' served as the signal to commence the deadly plan. She strategically waited for her mother to return home, then proceeded to create an opportunity for the killers by casually unlocking the door after bidding her goodnight.
Meanwhile, in her upstairs room, Jennifer toggled the lights on and off—a coded cue for the assailants to carry out their tasks. Shortly after, she made a frantic call to 911, feigning distress and seeking assistance.
Back in the interrogation room, Jennifer, confronted with the truth, found herself under arrest for her mother's murder. Entries from her personal diary revealed the motive behind the scheme: her parents' disapproval of her relationship with Daniel, her drug-dealing lover.
Further investigation unveiled Daniel's complicity in the plan, driven by his desire to profit from Jennifer's expected inheritance. Shockingly, it was disclosed that Jennifer had previously attempted to hire an assassin to kill her parents ten months prior, shedding light on her cold and calculating nature.
Ultimately, Jennifer, Daniel, and their associates were sentenced to 25 years in prison without the possibility of parole. However, following a successful appeal, they await a new trial, with Jennifer steadfastly maintaining her innocence.
