Convicted of murder in Canada, Jennifer Pan is the subject of a new Netflix documentary
- Canadian woman Jennifer Pan is serving a life sentence for plot to kill her parents
- The true crime documentary ‘What Jennifer Did’ is now streaming on Netflix
Netflix’s new true crime documentary, What Jennifer Did explores the true story of Jennifer Pan, a Canadian woman who allegedly hired people to kill her parents.
Pan was 24 at the time of the 2010 incident, during which hitmen entered her home, killed her mother, and severely injured her father. Initially, Pan was thought to be a victim of the crime, calling 911 while saying that she was tied to a banister.
After multiple interrogations, police suspected that Pan was the one who hired the hitmen to kill her parents. In 2014, Pan was found guilty of first-degree murder.
Here’s what happened in her case, and where she is today.

Pan’s life, and the circumstances leading up to her crime, were detailed in a 2015 Toronto Life article by journalist Karen K. Ho, who reportedly grew up with Pan. Her parents, Bich Ha and Huei Hann Pan were immigrants who had separately come to Canada as refugees before marrying and having two children.
