    The chilling murder of a Chinese student on a U.S. campus, and why justice is elusive...


    ezgif-7-16f6c012f349.jpg

    The kidnapping and murder of Yingying Zhang occurred in Urbana, Illinois, United States on June 9, 2017 when Zhang, a visiting Chinese scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, was abducted by Brendt Allen Christensen, a Champaign resident and former physics graduate student at the university. Christensen lured Zhang into his car at a bus stop on campus posing as a police officer with the promise of a ride after she missed a bus, but then took her to his apartment where he raped and murdered her while his wife was out of town for the weekend.
    On June 30, 2017, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested and charged Christensen in federal court. Christensen was convicted of one count of kidnapping resulting in death and two counts of making false statements to agents of the FBI, for which he received a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole on July 18, 2019.

    Interestng story, but justice was only elusive in the author's mind, because the killer received life without the possibility of parole. The author wanted the death penalty.

    A very similar killing took place in the UK, and the guy was just sentenced. Exact same sentence and the victim was a pretty blonde girl.

    It's a sad story, but the title doesn't hold up.

    WOW!

    This is a real life version of an Inspector Morse episode I watched recently. Only the kidnapped and murdered student was Japanese attending a British University.
