Summary

The 1993 Murders Of Jennifer Ji & Her Newborn Son Kevin In Mission Viejo California

Taiwanese businessman Jim Peng had built an electronics empire with his wife of 20 years, Lisa. They eventually moved to Orange County, California in order to expand their business and give their two sons the best education money could buy. In 1990, Jim had a chance encounter with a 25 year old hotel employee while on a trip to Shanghai, China. From that meeting, the two began an affair that eventually produced a child. Jim's mistress was determined to marry him, but his wife would stop at nothing to make sure that would never happen.
