November 8, 2010, the last night of Bich Ha Panof life, she had dinner with her daughter Jennifer Pan then went line dancing, as the 53-year-old did every Monday.
Bich returned home to Markham, Ontario (about 30 km northeast of downtown Toronto), around 9:30 p.m., Jennifer told a York Regional Police detective a few hours later, as this is shown in interview footage included in the Netflix documentary. What Jennifer did.
Later that night, Jennifer continued, she heard her mother call her father: Huei Hann Pan, then a man appeared upstairs and tied Jennifer’s arms behind her back, telling her he had a gun and that she had to do as he said. He asked her to show him where the money was, she told police.
Jennifer said she was tied to the top of the railing and could hear her mother asking, as she and her husband were led down to the basement, if her daughter could accompany them. The “last thing I heard them say was, ‘You lied to us, you lied to us,'” Jennifer told police, “then I heard two pops. My mom screamed, I screamed for her, then a few more pops.”
While his mother died instantly, his 57-year-old father was taken to a nearby hospital after surviving a gunshot to the face near the eye. But Hann spent the first days of the investigation in an induced coma, detectives said.
In the documentary, homicide investigator Det. Alan Cooke recalls fearing that Hann would die, leaving Jennifer as the only witness.
