28: EPISODE 28 // Jennifer Pan

In this episode told by Amanda, listeners will hear the chilling 911 call made by 24 year old Jennifer Pan moments after a deadly home invasion inside her family’s Markham, Ontario home. As Jennifer speaks to the dispatcher, her father’s desperate screams for help can be heard in the background as he escapes the house, while Jennifer’s mother lies unresponsive in the basement, both having been shot multiple times.

We explore the story behind this horrifying 2010 attack that left Bich Pan dead and her husband, Hann, critically injured. At first, police believed Jennifer was the lone surviving victim of a random break in. But as detectives began to unravel inconsistencies in her story, their focus shifted from a robbery gone wrong to something much darker.

Through the investigation, we examine the complex dynamics within the Pan household and how a web of lies, control, and deceit spiraled into an intricate, premeditated murder-for-hire plot.

This case, later revisited in Netflix’s 2024 documentary What Jennifer Did, raises disturbing questions about family pressure, a hidden double life, and the breaking point that turned a daughter against her own parents.
