About this episode

In March of 2016, 36 year old Claire Wang was out with her 4 year old daughter on a walk along the Neihu District of Taipei, Taiwan. The child, nicknamed "Little Light Bulb" by her parents, was pushing her bike along the road when Claire noticed a man coming up casually from behind. But before she could do anything, the man reached into his bag, pulled out a cleaver, and changed their lives forever.

Part 1 - We explore the horrifying events as they unfolded on that fateful March day in 2016, as well as the man behind the heinous crime.

Part 2 - We dig further into the motive behind the vicious crime, as well as the ramifications following the trial and sentencing.
