One of Netflix's most popular true crime documentaries has revealed astonishing details about a 2010 murder-for-hire case, including the fact that the perpetrators are currently awaiting retrial.
What Jennifer Did, released April 10, chronicles the life of Jennifer Pan and the events that led to her the slaying of her mother, Bich Pan, and attempted murder of her father, Huei Hann Pan.
News of the grisly crime rocked the city of Markham, Ontario, where Pan's parents settled after fleeing Vietnam and gave birth to their daughter.

After her parents forbade her from seeing him, the pair allegedly conspired to kill them to get their hands on her $500,000 inheritance.
Pan testified that she had a contentious relationship with her father, who she dubbed the 'rule maker,' but was closer with her mother.
