0:19.2 | members. It wasn't until three of those people were dead before someone got suspicious. |
0:23.9 | I'm Charlie and days of crime lines. Today's episode is going to take us to Taiwan. |
0:38.8 | I feel like this series has been about the limits of researching international cases, but this one brings up something that I actually see in many cases. |
0:49.0 | There is way more information out there on the background of the perpetrator rather than the victims. |
0:54.8 | While that happens in the English language media that I usually use all the time, |
1:00.5 | I have a few more resources up my sleeve. |
1:04.0 | I can find little snippets buried in the newspaper archives, which are physical newspapers that have been scanned in. |
1:10.0 | Sometimes the snippet will just be about the victim scoring a goal in a high school sports game and that tells me they played sports and it also tells me where they went to school. |

1:41.0 | So our case is going to not start with a victim. It's going to start with the perpetrator who is Lynn U |
1:49.0 | Roo and her name has been transliterated to English as UJU sometimes and all of the sources with all the different spellings |
1:58.4 | are what I would consider equally as reliable. In reading up on it though I found an article by Andrea Wong who has |
2:06.2 | the same name as her middle name. She was just writing about names in general not |
2:11.0 | about this case but she did write that this name actually sounds |
2:15.9 | closer to Uru, and so that's what I'm going to go with. |
2:20.4 | That was a very long explanation, but it does give you a little insight into the extra research I have to do when I do cover cases like this. |
