Crime Beat: "An enigma:" Hiding in plain sight | S2 E12

In July of 2000, 18-year-old Tina Wu was murdered and her younger sister Theresa suffered horrific injuries when an attacker broke into their Toronto apartment.
The two sisters, who were visiting Taiwanese students, were not the only victims in a series of horrifying assaults targeting women in the city. When police eventually tracked down the perpetrator - many questions remained unanswered as to why a shy tradesman unleashed gratuitous, escalated violence against four innocent women, all within a 4 kilometre radius of his home.
The judge in the trial described the convicted murderer as “an enigma” and his life as a “paradox.”

He should never get out. I think a basic rule should be, If your victim can’t live life above ground then the criminal can’t live life past the prison bars.

[@snarkasticsquid2435]

Ever.

[@dilly1863]

LIFE SHOULD MEAN LIFE!!! HE IS DANGEROUS. SHAME ON JUSTICE SYSTEM.

[@mariaboyadjieva6118]

Typical case of someone that regrets having been caught and going to jail. Not for what he did.

[@jasonuerkvitz3756]

Tina Wu, you're an absolute warrior angel! You saved your precious sister and brought endless honor to your family and your name. You are a brilliant being and your memory is canonized by your noble sacrifice. To Theresa and the Wu family, my deepest condolences for your loss.

[@Omni-Blast]

Notice when how this scumbag's attorney says he's sorry for what he did them proceeds to talk about reasons he's "sorry" that have everything to do with him and how it will ruin his life and said NOTHING about being sorry for ruining the lives of his innocent victims and their families? Makes me sick.

[@laurendunn1394]

I can’t believe they let him out unsupervised to a healing lodge? Also when they spoke about him they almost seemed sympathetic to him when he pled guilty? Saying he did feel remorse?! WTF- he’s obviously just playing everyone, he was acting in his own interests.

[@cindysmith6612]

Thank you for not having commercials every five minutes very much appreciated

[@stephensimon3301]

I remember this case. This guy and his wife both worked with me at IKEA at Leslie/Sheppard at the time. The entire store and staff was in absolute shock. His wife quite working after the story broke out. We all felt bad for her, and the embarrassment she endured.

[@jenniwalker9180]

Marijuana did not cause this.

[@kimcrandell8487]

Who cares what he is going through??? He took a young girls life. He should NEVER be released. He is a predator.

[@cicisingh3515]

The real danger is the justice system. They think they can “rehabilitate” someone.. I don’t believe it can’t be done, but in a person like this guy. Nope. He literally killed people and then went to feed,barb &hug his children with the same hands 🙄 I hope he never gets any chance for parole. Tina Wu didn’t get the chance to live, why should he get a second chance @ life?

[@IndigoYouTube]

I feel so bad for those sisters 😓 how does a murderer get to go to a healing lodge! You’re in prison.

[@heatherbowlan1961]

Thank you for sharing these Canadian murder crime stories , I’m a Canadian

[@melistasy]

Wow the Canadian judicial system is way too lenient! He should rot in prison!😤. So sorry for the people who were unfortunate enough to cross paths with this wolf in sheep's clothing😔

[@wholly88]

(Ret.) Det. Gary Giroux was one of the best detectives in the city. His skill is legendary. I know that Crime Beat could do other stories of the many cases he was involved with and solved. Crime Beat, you guys do such a good job producing these shows.

[@FM-jo1jh]

as a young girl in the late 90's / 2000's, girls stopped sleeping in basement bedrooms because so man were snatched or killed by intruders who got in via the basement window. scary stuff

[@kasun1752]

I live on a first floor but I never open my blinds completely to many crazy mentally unstable people around

[@tarantellalarouge7632]

I would never live in a ground floor apartment, it's not safe at all

[@milika9167]

So what kind of crimes get life in Canada.....these sentences are so offensive to the victims families......😒

[@ladyheart308]

I’m wondering thé same I watch an other documentary a guy killed 8 people one of the worst serial killers in Canada and he got 25yrs prison time

[@candisjohnson9289]

AGREED

[@ohsuzeyq_]

You get more time for drug charges than murder and rape.... makes me sick

[@missbieber1211]

Ayyyeee crime beat, I like the podcast but I prefer this hands down. Tragic story. RIP tina. and as always, our justice system can piss off

[@Hmeda20]

Her sister saved her life. I cant imagine it’s very sad. And this man is evil and deserved no parole on top of that he is a family man. #smh

[@glorycloudwatch]

What a monster. Took out his resentment towards his wife. Jeffrey Chang is such a kind, handsome man.

[@DavidGS66]

I noticed my mom's windows with side locks could be jimmied open, so I installed centre pin locks in all windows (drilling shattered 1 window). If I saved her life nobody will ever know.

[@raymondkymsuttle]

I don’t get how someone can have a family they care for & then go out & deliberately inflict harm on someone else’s family members.

[@patriciatutaki3322]

He's very sorry he got caught ... he was never sorry for what he did ... only that his life, family, and freedom are now lost to him forever ... parole should never be granted, as Tina will never experience life, and Teresa must endure her wounds loses, both physically and mentally ... just as his other two victims still have to face their fears and trauma

[@karenk3458]

This is so heartbreaking the poor sisters and the one who fought hard and lost her fight.

[@mosessupposes2571]

“Smoking a great deal of marijuana” was the only identifiable possible cause?? 👁👁 😂💀 Seriously

[@WasteOfRain]

RIP Tina Wu and thoughts go out to all the survivors who went through such torment and fear

[@Alex-vq9vj]

That interviewed victim of him came across as so strong and dignified! Huge respect for her. It's good to hear that the surviving sister has achieved success and family bonds in the aftermath of their violent tragedy. Glad that the cop, even retired, keeps in touch and follows the killers and rapists rehabilitation still. And that Toronto will be safe at minimum another 4 years from the perpetrator.

[@ladylaois8184]

It’s sickening to hear. Having lost a child I know the grief. And all the rippling effects that never leave you. My heart goes out to all that suffered because of this sick individual.

[@oliwiakras7172]

Best true crime channel ever! The documentaries are so well done

[@leannetarkanen5373]

this is why i lock my doors and windows each and every night before bed, check, then double check! at least a creep would have to break something to get in, give me some time to get my louseville slugger.

[@scottbuck9348]

How can you watch this and NOT like Jeffery Chang! He is a scholar and a Gentleman! Shit I’m a grown man and I just wanna squeeze his checks! And that phone call must of been the hardest thing he’s ever had to do!

[@valeriemacphail9180]

The only thing I may have felt inclined to raid when stoned, if I could have only summoned up the energy to do so, is the cookie jar! I wonder if, while incarcerated, he sheared off that heavy flea infested shaggy carpet he carried around on his messed up head.

[@annieferraro5988]

I remember this horrific case. What a lovely family, and all these sweet innocent women. Just beyond tragic.

[@kellywark5149]

Much Respect for Detective Giroux. He is definitely one of the best in Homicide. Deepest Condolences to All affected by these Heinous Crimes. God bless the Women.❤️💔💙🙏🙏

[@carolinegoss856]

He’s sort of out? A pit bull bites a person or two and they’re put down! This animal killed, murdered a human being & he goes to a healing lodge? Wtf? And to the lawyer: the victim doesn’t get to know why & what difference would it make? She’s still dead after being terrorized, and the others suffered as well!

[@sunshinehand1223]

This coward has the nerves, to blame his actions on Mary J! Chop!! Those dreads off!!.. Sleep in Power to Tina!💚💞💕 Love, Peace, Light and Comfort to family and friends.

[@Clutchpearls]

USA loves ❤️Crime Beat!

[@Summer09824]

This is so sad. What an amazing big sister 😥

[@Thatdesertwife]

Defence lawyer: he was very remorseful for what he had done. He was gonna be i jail, he was losing his family, children, so yeah, he was very sorry..... Yada yada yada... Uhm. No. He was feeling very sorry for him self for what HE was gonna lose. He wasnt sorry for what he took away from others. Pleading guilty is not a sign of remorse. Its just a thing many people are adviced to do, to get a lighter sentence - even those who are actually innocent.

[@lillycham]

He failed as a human being indeed. Total failure 😣😡.

[@christinet.4159]

Such a horrible thing to happen to these beautiful girls. RIP and prayers for their family.

[@eviannemcveigh9305]

Anthony thank you for presenting such a sad story.I was brought to tears, how brave the survivor lady has coped with this heinous crime. Bless you, your an inspiration.

[@alwaysglistening]

Finding it harder and harder to watch these because of how upsetting it is to find out the sentences for such heinous crimes. Really hope things change for the future in the justice system. Someone needs to do something...

[@cindysmith6612]

Thank you for not having any commercials at all awesome great job thank you

[@mayangclarion9449]

I love Crime Beat TV.

[@ItsMOMOBitches]

I think the U.S. & Canada can learn from one another in their justice systems. They're both broken. U.S. is waaaay too harsh and unjust, and Canada is waaaay too lenient. Need to find that middle ground and we'd get somewhere. This is very sad. My heart is with the families. And to the survivors, I hope you eventually find peace and are able to find happiness and calm. 🖤

[@Noneofyourbizzzz]

Can some one *please* explain to me the pathetic laws in our country? How do *three* serious criminal charges "murder, attempt murder, sexual assault with a deadly weapon" = 20 years only? Couldn't they try him in court for each charge separately?

[@janicebetos7736]

do not let this guy out. he deserve to rot in jail.

[@heidiho5179]

How many times are they going to talk about how “he was driving them to their flute lessons when tragedy struck,” “when tragedy struck,” “then tragedy struck.” These are murders, not a meteor that fell out of the sky or getting struck by lightning. They would still be beautiful, thriving women if it weren’t for some scumbag.

[@annieferraro5988]

Well tragedy DID strike. What's your issue man?

[@suzystone244]

These stories on this channel... done very well. Speaks volumes on the information provided. These families have been through so much. RIP to all taken.

[@mogbaba]

Please stop your hypocrite way of insulting the society. Don't call it a life sentence. Call it what it is, 20 years, (hopefully). When a murderer confess to such heinous crime, it is a worse crime to call it second degree murder.

[@ereeeeeeeees]

Been binge watching crime beat. Love how detailed every videos are. And the host is just 🔥🔥

[@marieogara1036]

Thank you for this. Very sensitive account of the horrific crimes, and I really appreciate the way the victims and their families are at the heart of the narrative, as it should be.. So much hatred and violence in that man, no criminal history. So many lives destroyed, and why? What matters is that we know how he destroyed lives, long after he became a prison number. The grace and dignity, of the Korean family is incredible, as is the strength of the disguised victim fighting through constant fear. Let psychiatrists learn what they can from this man as part of his rehabilitation before parole, if that is possible.

[@staceybennett4190]

Why? Just why would a man that has no previous convictions, does not fit the profile of a normal sex offender kill and rape anyone, let alone target Asian women. This is baffling and scary.

[@Ammo08]

Some people are just evil. Some are just evil in small amounts their whole life; making life miserable for others. Some like this guy, just do it all at once....they're still evil.

[@impactfully5714]

Our justice system is so shameful. My sympathy to all the victims.

[@theoracletempleoflovelight2222]

How can they release this man ..... bizarre that the laws of each country are so different . He would have got two life sentences here so 50 yrs minimum , probably do at least half of that before parole would be considered. Sick dude ....glad one of the sisters survived .

[@jenniferhamaba1509]

I feel bad for Jeff and his wife. I don't know how one gets those images out of their heads.

[@b.k6307]

The Canadian justice system is a freaking joke

[@Specialkxxx]

When I think about the best aspects of law enforcement it's people like Gary that comes to mind

[@heatherbowlan1961]

This police officer ,, is a really good ,kind hearted MAN , YOU CAN SEE HIS EYES WATERING UP AS HE SPOKE . They’ll get the person or persons .

[@debragodwin500]

I'm so sorry for those young girls and all his victims. Rest in Pease sweet girl. She was so innocent it was not fair was all taken away from her and to all those other women I'm so sorry for y'all's pain

[@veronicamata3753]

He was remorseful only for his own loses. Get real defense lawyer heart check very pathetic. How about remorse for the victims and their families.

[@keep_it_real_1]

He was very sorry for what he had done!!!!? He was only sorry for what he had done because he got caught and would no longer enjoy his life with his wife and children!!!!

[@christinawarren9968]

I like you Antony Robart you are a well conducted and lovely reporter!

[@ohsuzeyq_]

Stop protecting predators!!! Tell us where the pos lives so people around him know to be cautious!

[@carsonroxanne]

Those basement apartments are so unsafe.

[@cindysmith6612]

A real chameleon turns into anything you want so he can get what he wants he’s pure evil

[@maryellis1238]

Thank you crime beat for having this weekly. Great show great journalists! As for the victims my heart goes out to you and your families.

[@SarahRaqs]

How is a 14 yr old a "woman"?!

[@raythornton8578]

It’s incredible watching these shows and other shows about Canadian justice. I’ve come to the belief that the Canadian prosecutors a their police and judges are just plain lazy. They’re ready to take plea deals and light sentences for the most horrific crimes, with no thought of the victims or their families. Bow your heads in shame.

[@truecrimenut6696]

Why on earth dies Canada not have the same punishment as the US? If you get LIFE IN PRISON... YOU STAY THERE FOR LIFE. THATS WHERE THIS GUY SHOULD BE.... PERIOD. My guess is he will offend AGAIN.

[@colettewithlove]

those neighbours are something else! (first survivor) thank goodness one of the neighbour was actually helpful.

[@missbabbett9086]

U have got to be kidding a healing lodge for the murderer what a bunch of BS.... They need to keep a big eyes on this guy.😡

[@ellemmenn2930]

Ok I’m calling complete BS ... in my youth I’ve been high on ‘copious amounts of marijuana’ and never once thought hey let’s go break into someone’s house and either sexually assault them or stab them if they fight back... and I know I’m not the only one who’s gonna call that out... that’s just an excuse drugs don’t give you crazy/violent thoughts like that

[@juryrecitalmay1359]

These type of attackers are cowards.

[@mrs.schmenkman]

"No meaningful reason for his release" ??? WHAT THE HELL! Holy shit... you seriously allow someone with a life sentence to go on parole? What is THE POINT???

[@duvessa75]

Ground window apartments .. Never understood, and I never will..🤷🏾‍♀️ What idiot came up with this idea?🤦🏾‍♀️ As for myself, an apartment, top floor! I like to see them try.. 😁

[@jacquelinelarsen6159]

That healing lodge nonsense is an affront to all the victims. That has to go!

[@jamielee7404]

He wasn't sorry for what he did. He was sorry because he got caught. If he was sorry he'd go to therapy to deal with his urges, not to assault and kill

[@innerbeauty9441]

I am 3 mins in and I'm getting chills. R.i.p to those two innocent ladies😢😢 Thank you for uploading this! I just finished watching another one and it was sooooo sad🥺but I'm glad the justice system dealt with the murderers 😠 Rip Ryan Lane

[@drawwithme6634]

Don't abandon the women in your lives and love/protect them at all costs.

[@AltJisatsu]

Would not consider toronto a safe place at all. Quite opposite. Fellow canadian here.

[@PTux-zk6we]

As I’m home alone in bed.... least i have cameras and two big dogs, and a gun

[@luahlu7152]

he is only sorry he got caught, absolutely no remorse what so ever

[@coletrain3178]

You absolutely cannot blame marijuana for that kind of behavior. And that is scientifically proven. Alcohol, yes, but not marijuana.

[@pambrown8697]

Love DNA...those poor people..

[@katjazucker6580]

This is horrific. I hope they keep this monster under full surveillance.

[@cynthiatolman326]

Broke into 2 innocent young women's home, girls really, and tried to kill them both, would have succeeded if one hadn't made a desperate call, and we're supposed to believe he's remorseful. Yeah, sorry he got caught. All women should now be on absolute alert, particularly Asian women.

[@kandinelson2459]

So so sorry, Daddy and Mama......so sad.....so VERY sad.....God bless u w peace as u recover from this terrible loss...🥺😔😥

[@spitfirestake54]

Damn ghastly monster.

[@allysonlewis1576]

Hiding in plain sight This monster should have been locked up forever. Never again to walk amongst normal people. A leopard never changes his spots and if this monster ever walks free he will do something terrible again. It’s not a case of if he offends again but when., the thought of him being set free chills my blood.

[@massivepump3059]

This show is so much better than crime watch daily! So horrendous over the top narrators that sound like game show hosts and no reporters talking to closed doors super dramatic and loud. Glad I found this show. The other one is unwatchable for reasons already stated.

[@sumayaahmed38]

everytime i watch a new episode i get the chills ! :(

[@ladyheart308]

Me too this is really sad one Canada thou omg he is going to release I guess I’m somali by the saw your name and picture sis

Very dangerous man and manipulative. I think he’s a high risk to reoffend.

Sweet and pretty little darling girls. How could anyone harm them, is just terrible, horrible.
