So when the snakes will come smiling and waving into the grass that also can bake some chips on the forks spinning and twirling on the carpets...but we must all twirl too with some forks and spoons in hand in the river streams prancing and dancing with the guys in the streets doing some backflips on some things that are waving to us too while some moms and cats are doing handstands in the kitchens while the ants and leaves will be ok with us being sad and glad too guys🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So let's all eat that cool stuff...But all in all the guy will always have to be fat and skip and sip too while we will jump and do other stuff with our cats...but for the mean time our guys will try to prance around in those chips too while trying to also spin on some grass waving at them...but after all this we can just order alot of pizza and some forks for some other ways...and let's all be glad we can be nice sitting in the lakes that can always be there with us...and now let's be nice and smile and eat some things like some chips🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
How sad, she came here to further her education and enjoy time in another country learning about another culture and instead she met a prime example of the worst our country has to offer. I hope his life in prison is miserable.
It’s not isolated to the US. This is sad regardless if the person was here from another country or was here because they lived here their whole life. She was minding her own business and thought someone was going to help her. You can’t trust anyone.
@@KerwinSwagg I can't think of much else worse than being kidnapped after being in a country a couple weeks, probably sexually assaulted, beaten to death with a baseball bat, decapitated, and body never being found. What a stupid comment. This is definitely one of the worst things that could happen to somebody.
There's no way this was his first murder. No one dismembers a person's body and carries on perfectly functionally in a normal life without it being very familiar to them imo.
@@lyndaennis8508 They did look into it... The Wikipedia article (citing a Chinese newspaper) says "Christensen bragged to his girlfriend that he was a serial killer and that Zhang was his thirteenth victim, but [FBI] investigators were unable to find any other victims, and doubted this claim."
I drove around like that when I first got my license @16 because I was excited about driving ; these days I wouldn’t blow the gas money… also I don’t have the insatiable desire to grape and behead vulnerable human prey.
Well at that age getting the license and having car to drive is like a fun privilege. . After ten years of driving , it feels like a chore more than a fun privilege in my experience. Miss the excitement of age 16 and driving though
Losing their daughter is obviously traumatic, but on top of it not getting her body back, as Chinese it's even worse. For many it means her spirit can't rest and it's unbearable for the loved ones. He is such a monster and deserve life in prison with no possibility of parole... his wife and his girlfriend have been lucky not being killed by him... RIP Yingying Zhang & Prayers to her loved ones to carry on through this nightmare 🙏🙏🙏 Btw, the Detectives were really excellent... 👏👏👏
Dang I didn't even think about the cultural significance of not recovering the body. It is just adding insult to injury for a family who has already endured so much.
When you are a true crime follower, certain cases will hit you extra hard, this one does for me. I don't know why. It just does. Her poor parents and family, their child being so far away and knowing she went through this, the pain must have unreal. And the terror she must have felt, not even knowing all that he was saying to her. Rest in peace sweet girl. 😢
This is what I’ve learned from watching many interrogations…. When someone is being questioned and suddenly goes dead silent… it’s the silence that tells the truth. They know they’ve been caught.
That's a dangerous mentality... Keep in mind that when you watch these interrogation videos you know the outcome. These videos are never shown before we have all the evidence. We also don't see the thousands of interrogations of people that are innocent in these cases. Many of them you would think are guilty if you didn't know the other details
You know? Whoever get's away! Who is innocent? (Really) -- it's a catch 22 all the way around, you're rights!Hahahaha the milli second you ask for a "lawyer?" Unless thier like you (killer) and can think ? With the end in mind process!! GL and God bless
@@edwinmaguillicuddy9069 Guilty people should ALWAYS talk to cops without a lawyer. I love that they do this. It makes their job so much easier. It makes getting justice for victims that much easier. Why do people want so badly for murderers to clam up and get a lawyer? 🤔
Being a father I couldn't imagine my daughter being kidnapped assaulted murdered decapitated and her body never found in a foreign land...I pray for the grace and peace from GOD for her parents and family/friends and also pray they recover her body
Charlie,you dont have to have fathered kids to feel empathy.Some of the most despicable and horrendous crimes have been committed by fathers-sometimes against their own.
@@RealmsOfThePossible He did actually get away with it. They had no physical evidence of anything. Until the dumbass literally bragged to his wife about it.
My 17 year old daughter wants to study in the US; I am doing everything I can to dissuade her. The crime against women in the US is unreal. How can I send my child -- from a small trusting community- to a country where women are so easily seen as prey.
@@sharonkelly1534 Campuses are pretty safe. If she is naive or is easily influenced she might be manipulated. Crime rates go up if either the victim or perpetrator has been drinking/doing drugs. If she is smart, aware of her surroundings, takes precautions she can be safe. Sign her up for a self defense class. Don’t stifle her growth just because you are afraid. Let her be free to choose her future. But prepare her. Take precautions.
There will be no justice for the victim or her family as long as her location is not disclosed. Perpetrators who refuse to disclose the location of their victims should be further penalized. They should be refused all parole until such time as they lead investigators to the body. This thing.....is disgustingly evil.
It’s explained at the end . Her remains were sent to a private landfill and compacted twice over an area of fifty yards wide and buried under 30 ft of garbage. Literally impossible to retrieve her remains that’s why he was unable to give them an answer . Sickening =\
Exactly the problem is so many people end up in landfills. It’s really the best place to hide a body because it become a needle in a haystack, and get compoundly lost over time not the opposite. Sad reality, so dehumanizing
I am so glad that her family has set up a program that will assist others. I am always astounded that families are.... emotionally able to put their deepest grief and find a way to make that grief help others.
As someone who is starting the first semester at a new university, it saddens me that you can’t trust people who appear to want to help- I’ve gotten lost a few times already in the city and to think that choosing the wrong person to ask for help could cost you your life is scary
I agree w/u therfOre I TRUST NO ONE, I rather be lost & alive then to end up in Hands of a POS (understatement) like this POS & then sadly end up like this poor Innocent girl.
@@erilanez Ask people for help by all means but just don't get too close to the car and especially don't get in the car if they ask you too, no matter how nice they seem or look. Remember monsters actually wear a mask in our day and age because they don't look like the monsters they truly are.
I'm struck by the fact that a person with a Masters in Physics, who could have opted to have a real positive impact on the world, instead chose to commit a horrific, brutal and senseless murder. What a POS. Such a shame. Of course, not to mention what impact his victim could have had.
@@doilysimpkin6972 allowing wiggle room to give the false sense of intellect is indeed subtle, and unsurprising to me that would be your response. However way you'd like to filibuster this, struck is a synonym for surprise. Source; The year 1 lesson you missed, as well as the Oxford dictionary. Good day.
Because smarts dosent mean anything Jesus Christ I’m smart but don’t have much college casue I don’t have the money. So annoying that people think cause you go to school you’re so much better then others. Bullcrap
I like how instead of good cop/bad cop, this interrogation is good cop/dumb cop lol. I love that line "wow physics? .... that's way smarter than me." Good tactic from that Officer knowing that this guy is going to be highly arrogant and feed into that type of ego stroking
You'd be surprised how little the mutt and Jeff thing is used. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar remember... I'm clean from heroin, crack, benzos and heavy drinking since 2015,and when I got out of prison in early 2017, I've never been in trouble since... BUT before that... I was a bit of a nasty bastard... I have been in those rooms about 30-40times. Sometimes I've been held for 24 hours and interviewed 3 times... To the MINUTE and they let me go... I had them extend a hold to 72hrs and got out after 70...ive been through a LOT of these things.. Only two times can I think of a bad cop scenario. I mean one was unbelievably hilarious and so fucking funny, the guy was like a parody of a cop in an interrogation... I laughed at him and he got really angry and personal. Like it was as if a 14 year old was speaking to me. I just giggled and kept smirking with him saying 'you better wipe that smirk off your face'... It was all being recorded and when you do those they record three tapes and you get to pick which one is sealed and goes to your legal team, the other to the cops and the other to the court...i just said, while laughing 'or what?'... Well what happened was he stopped me on the street and took me in for a strip search about 4 times in 2months, but one time I went 70 seconds from my home to the shops to get catfood and he stopped me, took me in etc... A colleague of his was really pissed off about it and made her feelings known. She said, when he was inside the station, that this is the final straw and everyone is sick of him. He was trying to illegally seize my phone and all, just to fuck with me, but she managed to get it back and I had the SARGENT on duty day 'I'll get you a car back home, this is too much from him'... And an hour later the cop with him drove me home with my phone and catfood and said she was sorry for what happened. She said a lot without saying things you know? The other good and bad cop thing was some very old fashioned, irish version of a redneck say, bumpkin, dumb slab of meat who you know went to mass every week, who defended the priests who were exposed for molesting kids, whose siblings became cops or priests, who believe women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and who have no clue what a clit is... This thick clown was all about fire and brimstone and justice and the guy sounded like he was from the 50s! 😂 I just asked for my solicitor (lawyer) and sat there doing the 'lower eyebrow' trick... You stare at the lower eyebrows... And really stare at them...it 100% looks like you are maintaining a gaze into the other person's eyes... He said something like'by god I wish i could bring ye back 20 years'.... Like through his teeth... He was really mad...I really wanted to say 'so I could be a kid?' but I kept staring and he went away. For the two convictions I have I went guilty. Because I knew I was caught. No point in fighting it. Don't take bail and do your time from day one. Go guilty early and the court likes that... But both times the cops were really cool, nice, they listened... The last time I was very sick and they got me methadone, valium and four cans of Coke during the interviews. They let me smoke all i wanted. Got me extra blankets, let my mam drop me in clothes and give me a hug... They were really nice people. I just said, look I'm going guilty, I admit to owning that, I agree my dna and prints are probably on those bags, I take full responsibility... Thats it... I got treated well. They knew I would never tell them any names but the case is over for them.. Thats all they care about. I'll tell you how good thqt the main detective on that case was... He visited me in jail before my court date and went to court to my sentencing (because I went guilty I had no trial) to stand up for me and say that I am a different person than 13 months before... He didn't have to do that. Cops worth anything will ALWAYS try be your best friend. They will praise you and make the worst crime ever seem like nothing big, they will appeal to your good nature, they will try frame you as a good person and a hero... They will always say how you are better at something than them.... The hands will always be open... They ALWAYS will say 'this is my job sure, but I REALLY do think you are a good person' As much as I love these twats getting broken and getting owned... I love how their ego makes them feel invincible,.... I can't ever understand why they don't just ask for a lawyer in less than 60 seconds
Yeah, noticed that too. It was a good play to his narcissism. Killer thought he was smarter than two detectives who may not know physics, but know more about him regarding homicide.
@@nickyblue4866 It might be to her family. They know their daughter was murdered. But now because of the lack of complete remains they believe their daughter will not rest peacefully in heaven.
I live in the Champaign area, I remember Brent would come into the grocery store I worked at near his home. He always seemed strange to me. Her murder rocked our community. Still so heartbreaking
Wow, I always look for a person in the comments who actually knew the perp. Thank you so very much for this comment, as it provides even more insight to him as the person.
This is solid proof that being academically intelligent doesn’t exactly mean you’re actually smart. *in regards to the perpetrator, obviously not the victim
@@aubreyjames8795 I don’t disagree but please explain. Hopefully you didn’t think my comment was toward the victim. I was speaking on the narrator’s comment about the high level of education the suspect had attained.
@@jannasmith3275 that is also dangerous! Here in Asia we do think like this. In your country,you people trust stranger easily! How many crime associated with hitchhiking
As a gamer… I always wonder why they never go back to the game they were playing or the console or PC they were on. It keeps track of time played etc. but I’ve never heard them ask what game you were playing or that they ever go back to the actual device to see if it was online at that time and being played
I thought exactly this! Internet history and traffic etc... to be fair he could have left a game on and on the main menu. This counts towards played time. If they were going hard they could ask what he achieved in that day and look at save files etc... maybe they had enough already without going into it here...
@@jrobwhydidyoutubechangemyname Yeah true… However if it was an MMO they were playing they could tell if they were idle or not… Where are they playing with other people? I think the detectives just don’t know that world so they don’t inquire about it… But they really should! :-)
@@acerock421 I hear what you’re saying but they ask questions all the time that they know the answers to. I just have never heard them follow up not just these guys but any investigators when that question is asked about gaming. They often know people are lying but they still ask questions to see how the answer.
I love the myriad of ways the detectives try and make reading them their rights seem like a bothersome, meaningless formality. ‘Oh we just gotta read this card to you with it being night-time outside and all...don’t mind us.”
He completely blew his 'intelligence' claim from the outset. Driving an easily recognisable and quite rare model of car, in an area with surveillance cameras!
I wish we could hear the wire tap of him confessing being a serial killer and what he did to the victim. If the jury heard that wire tape and couldn’t agree to a death sentence, I do not know why. God bless the family and hope they find peace. The foundation they set up will live on and honor her life.
What do you mean? Rape and murder have always existed, and will always exist. Our society isn't becoming degenerate. If anything, the opposite is true, as the rate of violent crime in the U.S. has been falling.
I personally witnessed a man push a teenage girl in his car, in the mall parking lot in broad daylight. That was in 1985. I also lived near where Richard Ramirez did his killings. There have always been monsters.
@@warmedpuma2024 you do make a very valid point....I thinks its more so tht its just hard to get away wth anything do to technology.. Cameras,dna,etc.....Theres still deranged fucks out there just itching to kill ...
Way to ruin their trust in people. You can spend the rest of your life trying to get into a car with a murderer and still be alive. Like trying to board a plane that will crash.
So heavy hearing his guilty breathy voice after he admits to "mixing up his days". Psychopaths are more common than we think, Wall Street, Politics- the truly smart ones likely don't kill due to the risk/reward ratio, but they definitely don't cherish anyone's life other than their own.
The possibility is that he must believe that he is super smart. None will discover his lies. This avoids his need for legal protection. Hence her digs his own lying grave hole.
Its really a catch 22 situation. If you are innocent why would you need a lawyer? If you are guilty but are trying to appear innocent you can't possibly ask for a lawyer without arousing suspicion. Simple rule when you are asked to talk to the police, if they read you your Miranda Rights (5th Amendment) you ask for a lawyer immediately. Even if they're telling you that you aren't a suspect.
I can tell how old I am by how jarring I find it to hear someone say, "Your wife and her boyfriend went on vacation together." What? WHAT??? If my husband and his girlfriend had gone on vacation together, by the time he got back home I would have been seriously working on becoming his "EX" wife. I didn't get married until I was 30 years old, so I had several boyfriends, but they were all BEFORE I got married. AFTER I got married the only man that I was interested in having anything to do with was my husband and that was true for the entire 30 years of our marriage and in fact is still true today, 14 years after he died. If I had not been ready to "forsake all others" I would not have seen the point in getting married. Maybe that's just me.
Such a horrific tragedy and an unforgivably evil man :( My brother graduated from U of I in 2016 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering; when this story broke, I was like, “holy shit, what if that guy was a TA for one of this classes???” I asked him right away, but he didn’t recognize the name or the face. It’s terrifying that there are killers out there walking among us. So very relieved that they caught this guy.
The crazy part about this case since the remains of the body were impossible to find is that if he was smart he would’ve gotten away with it. If he would’ve just asked for a lawyer and said nothing. He might still be walking the streets today. Scarier part is that this probably happens all the time. It’s just that we don’t see them on UA-cam videos because they’re not dumb.
You probably don't know just how true your assumption may be. In fact the same thing crossed my mind the other day. It's confirmational bias. Every interrogation video on here has the perp folding within the hour. Who would be no fun watching the videos where the perp uses his right to get up and walk out. They would all be 5 minutes long.
Lol I'm like a couple minutes into this and gotta ask, what does it being late at night have to do with reading him his rights? 😂 I get that detectives like to try to make it seem like reading rights is no big deal and "just a precaution", but that's what the detective came up with? It's late at night so he's going to read his rights? Lolll. Whatever works. The guy didn't seem to question it at all so... 🤷🏼♀️
I think its pretty much just trying to down play it so they don't ask for a lawyer. I'd like to see a video that analyzes multiple interrogation to see techniques cops use to keep people from asking for lawyers, but I wouldn't want to give criminals any ideas.
I’ve heard/watched a few interrogations on UA-cam where the detectives say that it’s “too late at night for a lawyer” and other things along that line, so perhaps he was trying to imply (oddly) that kind of thing? And to be clear - lawyers will represent someone 24/7 - but the detectives white lies never get questioned!
This is one of those cases where I think the killer should get the death sentence. There's undeniable proof and the murder was cold-blooded. At least he got life, though.
I agree about the death sentence in this case.. I think he should be tortured to death honestly... he tortured her to death...I can't imagine how scared she had to be...so sad...such a sadistic mind to do something like this..
It's not about punishment. It's about ridding the earth of this disgusting entity so he never has an iota of a chance of doing again. With prison, you never really know if he'll stay for good. Also, it costs money to provide shelter for him. Not worth it.
Someone murderung someone doesn't give anyone permission to kill him/her too. Makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever. It is illogical, barbaric and dumb. A true remnant of darker ages.
The fact that at the very start when the detective mentions “where just here to see what you know about Miss Zhang “ and you don’t say “who is Miss Zhang I don’t know a Miss Zhang ” says it all.
@@rafieuawilliams4397 Agreed. The men in their lives (fathers, brothers, uncles, husbands) shouldn't send them to the other side of the world alone. Cultures where men protect women from potential threats are a lot better for women.
This monster was really really pissed at his wife. Pissed she left with a guy and he didn't have a side girl lined up. Just hearing what he did to this poor girl is unimaginable. The fear and pain she must have endured . I can't believe a human being could do this to another. All I can think of is the Florida university killings. That story still disturbs me.
You must not be too familiar with this case. They have an open marriage and both of them have boyfriend/girlfriend on the side. He committed this crime because he was a wanna be serial killer. He later bragged to his girlfriend how he has a higher kill count than any serial killer in history. He was obsessed with Ted Bundy's and wanted to be just like him.
The law in America allows you to kill a person in any place, No matter of their status. It's called abortion 😄👍 There's no difference who will do her right to choose, doctor or the guy with the gun. Don't forget that you can tell your sh!tty story to a doctor how bad you feel for her. 😄. ..
But it wasn't like a spur of the moment...he had been planning this in advance...looking up info with his "collegue serial killers" on the internet. And while were at it: someone here mentioned it here before: this couldn't have been his first murder with which I totally agree.
Breaks my heart.... as a host of international students for decades, I treated those young people like my own. And, although language was a barrier their parents always found a way to express how worried they'd been, having their children so far away from home. Life's supposed to be an adventure, NOT a hunt.
What a horrific piece of 💩 I knew of this case but for some reason I never knew how terribly gruesome her death was. I hope this monster has a miserable remainder of his life. Rest in peace Yingying 🙏
2:20 Notice how the detective begins making unnecessary noises while the other detective reads him the rights in order to distract him. Then follow up with the musical chairs to make it 2 chairs vs 1 in order to make him feel backed into a corner. Great tactics!
im sure i've commented this before on another video....but what's with the decapitating of people... shooting, or stabbing or beating someone to death is bad enough but what goes through someone's head that tells them they need to cut someones head right off.... truly sick
Can you even imagine how difficult it would be to stick an entire human body into a single trash bag and throw it in a dumpster? I hate that your question is making me think about this, but since it would be a lot of trouble to go through the torso, it stands to reason you'd take off the head and probably the legs to make things more ... manageable. Aside from that, he was clearly disturbed and probably viciously angry because of the situation with his wife. Cutting off someone's head is probably psychopaths' way of dehumanizing their victims, -- you know, adding insult to injury.
How do you beat someone to death with a bat, and decapitate them and then live your life like normal? It blows my mind. How someone can do that to another living thing let alone a person. My heart hurts for her family
The amount of times me and my friends got in the car with guys we did not know is crazy. Wtf were we thinking? Luckily we are over 30 and are able to talk about it now. Rip to the victim. What a sicko he is!
My friends used to hitch rides. We were about 15-16. I kept walking. A woman was kidnapped in our area at that time and dismembered. Not sure what my friends were thinking. They thought I wasn't as cool as them. Hmm...
Hello 👋 happy Monday! Thank u so much for a new video. This is very sad n broke my heart. My heart goes out to the families that have suffered. Keep the pure awesomeness up! 💜💙💜💙💜💙
Being assaulted is already so traumatic, when I hear of these women being brutally murdered after it takes to another type of evil. I wish she was given the chance to live so she could overcome that trauma. RIP Yingying ❤
These detectives are dealing with a sociopath. Can't play on emotions that he doesn't possess. They are sitting face forward staring into the face of pure EVIL.
Absolutely horrific crime. Especially hard for their parents so far away. China's one child policy means they lost their only child. Imagine visiting the US only to bury your child. And they did not even have a chance to take her back home. In a landfill. Such destructive violence and wanton cruelty. Such a hardworking, dutiful, smart, and beautiful young woman. Rest in peace Yingying, you are not forgotten. Justice has been served.
Not to minimize what happened but I'm fairly sure the one child policy was repealed some time ago and Chinese people are now encouraged to have more than one child.
I like how the detectives let you know you're free to leave at anytime, and this is all just procedure, then you're read your rights, only just, that you're going to prison, and your rights didn't warrant you your freedom. Men and woman alike, like this, should never be able to see the light of day!!! Thanks again for a great interrogation video!!!
It is not mere procedure. The "volunteer" is deterred from using the lawyer self-protection technique. Lower the defensiveness of the interview is needed to extract the maximum information. Truth or otherwise of the details can be determined later.
Cops like: Your wife went on a vacation with who? Anther guy? Rough bro. That's so rough bro. Are you hurt by that man? That's gotta sting real bad bro 🤣
I tried to read a little more about this case to see what other evidence they used to convict him but the pictures of the crying mother and other female family members was just too much. I've rarely seen that much pain in someone's face like the mother's. I almost started to cry and shut down the tab. Unlike me to get emotional over these videos. I hope this guy's prison life is a very long nightmare.
My mind is blown to the fact they never thought to immediately search the trash and even if it had been picked up by then, could possibly be easier to find after a week then months. So sad, I tell my daughters never get in a vehicle with anyone you don’t know, idc who they say they are.
When I heard about this I had just read a story about how this young mother came here with her kid because she felt our Country was a safer place to be then the one they lived in. A month later her child was abducted and murdered. I felt ashamed that this would happen in our Country. Ofcourse in America there are approximately 25 to 50 serial killers loose at any given time
I think the detective did one of the best acting jobs ever when Christiansen tells him he studies physics. The little laugh that says wow you’re way smarter than me luls him into a sense of security and thinks he can talk his way out.
This sadistic murderer just tells you it doesn’t matter how a person looks like, murderers come with all looks and shapes. Don’t ever agree to take a ride even if you very late, especially if the driver offers you the ride and not you stoped him/her.
What a monster - poor family. International students are here along and their only “fam” are the friends they make at school. I’m glad the security guy was observing but also the cameras were helpful too.
Anyone with any sense gets a lawyer or stays quiet. In England and interrogated for a serious crime you have to explain to the Police WHY you don't want a lawyer.
As always, thanks for watching.
I look forward to reading your comments.

That's so true maybe they should look into it and personally I didn't think of that, well put.
@@lyndaennis8508 They did look into it... The Wikipedia article (citing a Chinese newspaper) says "Christensen bragged to his girlfriend that he was a serial killer and that Zhang was his thirteenth victim, but [FBI] investigators were unable to find any other victims, and doubted this claim."
His aimless driving around isn't just "exploring" to clear his head. It's "hunting"
I drove around like that when I first got my license @16 because I was excited about driving ; these days I wouldn’t blow the gas money… also I don’t have the insatiable desire to grape and behead vulnerable human prey.
Gas is too expensive now but back in the day I definitely did just drive around listening to the radio or CDs.
Well at that age getting the license and having car to drive is like a fun privilege. . After ten years of driving , it feels like a chore more than a fun privilege in my experience. Miss the excitement of age 16 and driving though

Never ask for a lawyer, Always try and lie your way out of it. That way we will have a lasting supply of these videos to watch !
Losing their daughter is obviously traumatic, but on top of it not getting her body back, as Chinese it's even worse. For many it means her spirit can't rest and it's unbearable for the loved ones. He is such a monster and deserve life in prison with no possibility of parole... his wife and his girlfriend have been lucky not being killed by him... RIP Yingying Zhang & Prayers to her loved ones to carry on through this nightmare 🙏🙏🙏
Btw, the Detectives were really excellent... 👏👏👏
Dang I didn't even think about the cultural significance of not recovering the body. It is just adding insult to injury for a family who has already endured so much.
I know, such a tragedy on so many levels. This "man" is a monster.
Oof hadn't even thought of that 😔
😥 So very sad
When you are a true crime follower, certain cases will hit you extra hard, this one does for me. I don't know why. It just does. Her poor parents and family, their child being so far away and knowing she went through this, the pain must have unreal. And the terror she must have felt, not even knowing all that he was saying to her. Rest in peace sweet girl. 😢

It’s a disarmament technique. Makes them think they aren’t under suspicion and it’s just a formality.
I think that was just a ploy to get his guard down. Making him think like ohh maybe I'm not in trouble etc
Yep, I've been tricked by that one at least 3 times
Never heard that one. Usually it just paperwork we have to do before we can talk or some such bullshit.
This is what I’ve learned from watching many interrogations…. When someone is being questioned and suddenly goes dead silent… it’s the silence that tells the truth. They know they’ve been caught.
What I’ve learned from watching interrogations - and I’ve watched many - is, no matter what, NEVER TALK TO COPS WITHOUT A FREAKING LAWYER
That's a dangerous mentality... Keep in mind that when you watch these interrogation videos you know the outcome. These videos are never shown before we have all the evidence. We also don't see the thousands of interrogations of people that are innocent in these cases. Many of them you would think are guilty if you didn't know the other details
You know? Whoever get's away! Who is innocent? (Really) -- it's a catch 22 all the way around, you're rights!Hahahaha the milli second you ask for a "lawyer?" Unless thier like you (killer) and can think ? With the end in mind process!! GL and God bless

@@sharonkelly1534 Campuses are pretty safe. If she is naive or is easily influenced she might be manipulated.
Crime rates go up if either the victim or perpetrator has been drinking/doing drugs.
If she is smart, aware of her surroundings, takes precautions she can be safe. Sign her up for a self defense class.
Don’t stifle her growth just because you are afraid. Let her be free to choose her future. But prepare her. Take precautions.
There will be no justice for the victim or her family as long as her location is not disclosed. Perpetrators who refuse to disclose the location of their victims should be further penalized. They should be refused all parole until such time as they lead investigators to the body. This thing.....is disgustingly evil.
It’s explained at the end . Her remains were sent to a private landfill and compacted twice over an area of fifty yards wide and buried under 30 ft of garbage. Literally impossible to retrieve her remains that’s why he was unable to give them an answer . Sickening =\
Exactly the problem is so many people end up in landfills. It’s really the best place to hide a body because it become a needle in a haystack, and get compoundly lost over time not the opposite. Sad reality, so dehumanizing

Agreed
I am so glad that her family has set up a program that will assist others. I am always astounded that families are.... emotionally able to put their deepest grief and find a way to make that grief help others.

As someone who is starting the first semester at a new university, it saddens me that you can’t trust people who appear to want to help- I’ve gotten lost a few times already in the city and to think that choosing the wrong person to ask for help could cost you your life is scary

I’m so sorry this happened. Shocking and unforgivable.
I like how instead of good cop/bad cop, this interrogation is good cop/dumb cop lol. I love that line "wow physics? .... that's way smarter than me." Good tactic from that Officer knowing that this guy is going to be highly arrogant and feed into that type of ego stroking
You'd be surprised how little the mutt and Jeff thing is used. You catch more flies with honey than vinegar remember...
I'm clean from heroin, crack, benzos and heavy drinking since 2015,and when I got out of prison in early 2017, I've never been in trouble since... BUT before that... I was a bit of a nasty bastard...
I have been in those rooms about 30-40times. Sometimes I've been held for 24 hours and interviewed 3 times... To the MINUTE and they let me go... I had them extend a hold to 72hrs and got out after 70...ive been through a LOT of these things..
Only two times can I think of a bad cop scenario. I mean one was unbelievably hilarious and so fucking funny, the guy was like a parody of a cop in an interrogation... I laughed at him and he got really angry and personal. Like it was as if a 14 year old was speaking to me. I just giggled and kept smirking with him saying 'you better wipe that smirk off your face'... It was all being recorded and when you do those they record three tapes and you get to pick which one is sealed and goes to your legal team, the other to the cops and the other to the court...i just said, while laughing 'or what?'...
Well what happened was he stopped me on the street and took me in for a strip search about 4 times in 2months, but one time I went 70 seconds from my home to the shops to get catfood and he stopped me, took me in etc...
A colleague of his was really pissed off about it and made her feelings known. She said, when he was inside the station, that this is the final straw and everyone is sick of him. He was trying to illegally seize my phone and all, just to fuck with me, but she managed to get it back and I had the SARGENT on duty day 'I'll get you a car back home, this is too much from him'... And an hour later the cop with him drove me home with my phone and catfood and said she was sorry for what happened. She said a lot without saying things you know?
The other good and bad cop thing was some very old fashioned, irish version of a redneck say, bumpkin, dumb slab of meat who you know went to mass every week, who defended the priests who were exposed for molesting kids, whose siblings became cops or priests, who believe women should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen and who have no clue what a clit is...
This thick clown was all about fire and brimstone and justice and the guy sounded like he was from the 50s! 😂
I just asked for my solicitor (lawyer) and sat there doing the 'lower eyebrow' trick... You stare at the lower eyebrows... And really stare at them...it 100% looks like you are maintaining a gaze into the other person's eyes...
He said something like'by god I wish i could bring ye back 20 years'.... Like through his teeth... He was really mad...I really wanted to say 'so I could be a kid?' but I kept staring and he went away.
For the two convictions I have I went guilty. Because I knew I was caught. No point in fighting it. Don't take bail and do your time from day one. Go guilty early and the court likes that...
But both times the cops were really cool, nice, they listened...
The last time I was very sick and they got me methadone, valium and four cans of Coke during the interviews. They let me smoke all i wanted. Got me extra blankets, let my mam drop me in clothes and give me a hug... They were really nice people.
I just said, look I'm going guilty, I admit to owning that, I agree my dna and prints are probably on those bags, I take full responsibility... Thats it... I got treated well. They knew I would never tell them any names but the case is over for them.. Thats all they care about.
I'll tell you how good thqt the main detective on that case was... He visited me in jail before my court date and went to court to my sentencing (because I went guilty I had no trial) to stand up for me and say that I am a different person than 13 months before... He didn't have to do that.
Cops worth anything will ALWAYS try be your best friend. They will praise you and make the worst crime ever seem like nothing big, they will appeal to your good nature, they will try frame you as a good person and a hero... They will always say how you are better at something than them....
The hands will always be open...
They ALWAYS will say 'this is my job sure, but I REALLY do think you are a good person'
As much as I love these twats getting broken and getting owned... I love how their ego makes them feel invincible,.... I can't ever understand why they don't just ask for a lawyer in less than 60 seconds
Yeah, noticed that too. It was a good play to his narcissism. Killer thought he was smarter than two detectives who may not know physics, but know more about him regarding homicide.
😂 right? Stroke the ego!
Yes! Perfect response to a malignant narcissist 👏
Yeah and I believe he replied with “Thanks” instead of downplaying his degree

As a gamer… I always wonder why they never go back to the game they were playing or the console or PC they were on. It keeps track of time played etc. but I’ve never heard them ask what game you were playing or that they ever go back to the actual device to see if it was online at that time and being played
I thought exactly this! Internet history and traffic etc... to be fair he could have left a game on and on the main menu. This counts towards played time. If they were going hard they could ask what he achieved in that day and look at save files etc... maybe they had enough already without going into it here...
@@jrobwhydidyoutubechangemyname Yeah true… However if it was an MMO they were playing they could tell if they were idle or not… Where are they playing with other people? I think the detectives just don’t know that world so they don’t inquire about it… But they really should! :-)

If he's so dam smart, he would have asked for a lawyer before questioning. Now he's in the Chris Watts UA-cam club.
The possibility is that he must believe that he is super smart. None will discover his lies.
This avoids his need for legal protection. Hence her digs his own lying grave hole.
He thought he was smart enough to skate with no lawyer
Its really a catch 22 situation. If you are innocent why would you need a lawyer? If you are guilty but are trying to appear innocent you can't possibly ask for a lawyer without arousing suspicion. Simple rule when you are asked to talk to the police, if they read you your Miranda Rights (5th Amendment) you ask for a lawyer immediately. Even if they're telling you that you aren't a suspect.
Investigators dont make tge decision on what charges if any get filed. Thats the district attorney
Every interrogation you see - " I don't think you're a bad person" ... love it.
i was looking for this case and was delighted that you'd covered it. thank you for the excellent work!!
I can tell how old I am by how jarring I find it to hear someone say, "Your wife and her boyfriend went on vacation together." What? WHAT??? If my husband and his girlfriend had gone on vacation together, by the time he got back home I would have been seriously working on becoming his "EX" wife. I didn't get married until I was 30 years old, so I had several boyfriends, but they were all BEFORE I got married. AFTER I got married the only man that I was interested in having anything to do with was my husband and that was true for the entire 30 years of our marriage and in fact is still true today, 14 years after he died. If I had not been ready to "forsake all others" I would not have seen the point in getting married. Maybe that's just me.
I wish more people shared that mindset but it’s fading and fading fast this day in age.
It’s really sick imo.

The crazy part about this case since the remains of the body were impossible to find is that if he was smart he would’ve gotten away with it. If he would’ve just asked for a lawyer and said nothing. He might still be walking the streets today.

It's late at night so he's going to read his rights? Lolll. Whatever works. The guy didn't seem to question it at all so... 🤷🏼♀️

I think its pretty much just trying to down play it so they don't ask for a lawyer. I'd like to see a video that analyzes multiple interrogation to see techniques cops use to keep people from asking for lawyers, but I wouldn't want to give criminals any ideas.
Lmao I noticed that too. They're just doing the good ol "no big deal, you're not in trouble" spiel. Which actualy means YOU'RE FKD!
I’ve heard/watched a few interrogations on UA-cam where the detectives say that it’s “too late at night for a lawyer” and other things along that line, so perhaps he was trying to imply (oddly) that kind of thing? And to be clear - lawyers will represent someone 24/7 - but the detectives white lies never get questioned!

Someone murderung someone doesn't give anyone permission to kill him/her too. Makes absolutely no sense at all whatsoever. It is illogical, barbaric and dumb. A true remnant of darker ages.

You must not be too familiar with this case. They have an open marriage and both of them have boyfriend/girlfriend on the side. He committed this crime because he was a wanna be serial killer. He later bragged to his girlfriend how he has a higher kill count than any serial killer in history. He was obsessed with Ted Bundy's and wanted to be just like him.

as a host of international students for decades, I treated those young people like my own. And, although language was a barrier their parents always found a way to express how worried they'd been, having their children so far away from home. Life's supposed to be an adventure, NOT a hunt.
What a horrific piece of 💩 I knew of this case but for some reason I never knew how terribly gruesome her death was. I hope this monster has a miserable remainder of his life. Rest in peace Yingying 🙏
Is there any other way for dead rubbernecks to rest ? 🤔
Same here. I've read about the case, but I never knew he decapitated her ☹️.
@@lifesquandered
Do you find it hard to hide that fact that you're ghey ? 🤔
2:20 Notice how the detective begins making unnecessary noises while the other detective reads him the rights in order to distract him. Then follow up with the musical chairs to make it 2 chairs vs 1 in order to make him feel backed into a corner. Great tactics!
im sure i've commented this before on another video....but what's with the decapitating of people...
shooting, or stabbing or beating someone to death is bad enough
but what goes through someone's head that tells them they need to cut someones head right off....
truly sick

@@Tommybouy666 not those guys again!🎉
Can you even imagine how difficult it would be to stick an entire human body into a single trash bag and throw it in a dumpster? I hate that your question is making me think about this, but since it would be a lot of trouble to go through the torso, it stands to reason you'd take off the head and probably the legs to make things more ... manageable. Aside from that, he was clearly disturbed and probably viciously angry because of the situation with his wife. Cutting off someone's head is probably psychopaths' way of dehumanizing their victims, -- you know, adding insult to injury.
And I don't have a knife in my entire kitchen sharp enough to quarter a chicken!
These detectives are really good, I've seen a lot of stories about this case, so really like watching this. I love your input
How do you beat someone to death with a bat, and decapitate them and then live your life like normal? It blows my mind. How someone can do that to another living thing let alone a person. My heart hurts for her family
Man these detectives ways amaze me with their skill to ask questions
The amount of times me and my friends got in the car with guys we did not know is crazy. Wtf were we thinking? Luckily we are over 30 and are able to talk about it now. Rip to the victim. What a sicko he is!
Same girlfriend...
Same
I know! I made so many stupid decisions when I was younger. I'm so glad I lived to learn my lesson.
My friends used to hitch rides. We were about 15-16. I kept walking. A woman was kidnapped in our area at that time and dismembered. Not sure what my friends were thinking. They thought I wasn't as cool as them. Hmm...
Hello 👋 happy Monday! Thank u so much for a new video. This is very sad n broke my heart. My heart goes out to the families that have suffered. Keep the pure awesomeness up! 💜💙💜💙💜💙
Being assaulted is already so traumatic, when I hear of these women being brutally murdered after it takes to another type of evil. I wish she was given the chance to live so she could overcome that trauma. RIP Yingying ❤
So disheartening and sad, unbelievable some people are capable of these things
These detectives are dealing with a sociopath. Can't play on emotions that he doesn't possess. They are sitting face forward staring into the face of pure EVIL.
Absolutely horrific crime. Especially hard for their parents so far away. China's one child policy means they lost their only child. Imagine visiting the US only to bury your child. And they did not even have a chance to take her back home. In a landfill.
Such destructive violence and wanton cruelty. Such a hardworking, dutiful, smart, and beautiful young woman.
Rest in peace Yingying, you are not forgotten. Justice has been served.
Not to minimize what happened but I'm fairly sure the one child policy was repealed some time ago and Chinese people are now encouraged to have more than one child.
Common sense and intelligence are two different things….
I live in the Champaign area and this was a huge story. We have our fair share of crime and violence but this hit the community different.
Why did it "hit" the community different? Because of what the murderer looked like?
@@LukeyCKsMaxedOutCreditCards wtf? Uh no… because young college students don’t normally just disappear/get murdered.
*differently
I bet it did. No neighborhood is exempt
Sounds like a ghetto
He admitted to his attorney that he put her in garbage bags and threw her in three differing garbage cans. Sicko.
Yingying Zhang may you rest in paradise, my condolences to your family and friends. I am so sorry for what happened.

I like how the detectives let you know you're free to leave at anytime, and this is all just procedure, then you're read your rights, only just, that you're going to prison, and your rights didn't warrant you your freedom.
Men and woman alike, like this, should never be able to see the light of day!!!
Thanks again for a great interrogation video!!!
It is not mere procedure. The "volunteer" is deterred from using the lawyer self-protection technique.
Lower the defensiveness of the interview is needed to extract the maximum information. Truth or otherwise of the details can be determined later.
Cops like:
Your wife went on a vacation with who? Anther guy? Rough bro. That's so rough bro. Are you hurt by that man? That's gotta sting real bad bro
🤣
A masters in physics! But he decided to throw it all away, how clever of him??!!.
I tried to read a little more about this case to see what other evidence they used to convict him but the pictures of the crying mother and other female family members was just too much.
I've rarely seen that much pain in someone's face like the mother's.
I almost started to cry and shut down the tab.
Unlike me to get emotional over these videos.
I hope this guy's prison life is a very long nightmare.
Dude almost got away with it. Literally.
I wish there was video from when he talked to his wife and laid out what he had done. I'd love to see her expression.
My mind is blown to the fact they never thought to immediately search the trash and even if it had been picked up by then, could possibly be easier to find after a week then months. So sad, I tell my daughters never get in a vehicle with anyone you don’t know, idc who they say they are.
When I heard about this I had just read a story about how this young mother came here with her kid because she felt our Country was a safer place to be then the one they lived in. A month later her child was abducted and murdered. I felt ashamed that this would happen in our Country. Ofcourse in America there are approximately 25 to 50 serial killers loose at any given time
Is an eye for an eye a fair sentence ? I now believe it is. We see repeat drunk drivers, repeat rapists, repeat offenders. Scare them straight !
I think the detective did one of the best acting jobs ever when Christiansen tells him he studies physics. The little laugh that says wow you’re way smarter than me luls him into a sense of security and thinks he can talk his way out.
This sadistic murderer just tells you it doesn’t matter how a person looks like, murderers come with all looks and shapes. Don’t ever agree to take a ride even if you very late, especially if the driver offers you the ride and not you stoped him/her.
RIP to the victim and condolences to her family I can't believe the shit people will do/put others through for no reason
His ole lady was getting piped down while he was at home playing video games. 😂
bro...DECAP*TATED??? dude why? horrible monster.
Wow! What a disgusting creep! These detectives did s phenomenal job.
What a monster - poor family.
International students are here along and their only “fam” are the friends they make at school.
I’m glad the security guy was observing but also the cameras were helpful too.
Charming looking young woman with a great future, very sad, and very angry at this wimp
If her body has never been found how do they know she was decapitated?
Maybe the perpetrator said that he did?
Maybe they are trying to trick him into denying it and say what he did instead
He eventually confessed and said he put her in bags in a dump. The dump was so full they couldn't find her
I think he confessed to his then wife who was wearing a wire at the time
He admitted to dismembering the body and throwing the remains in his apartment dumpster. It's in the video
Imagine if the murderer died (death penalty) the same way they killed. Would it lower these types of crimes?
Anyone with any sense gets a lawyer or stays quiet. In England and interrogated for a serious crime you have to explain to the Police WHY you don't want a lawyer.
