6 Arrested For The Killing of Hong Kong Model Abby Choi

Realtors they're gonna go on and on. about the area they're going to tell you. about the school district if there's. nearby parks that you can walk to. they're going to tell you all of this. they're not going to tell you about the. Karen situation and in this little. Suburban town just off the side from. Hong Kong the neighbors they they prided. themselves in being Karen's their. neighborhood was right next to this very. popular hiking trail and people would. just park their cars illegally. throughout the neighborhood and these.

residents they're like no this is not. acceptable so for a very specific reason. these neighbors were extra alert when it. came to Outsiders they were extra. vigilant they would gather for their. daily neighborhood speed walks they. would gossip they would tilt their head. towards an empty house that one over. there it finally got rented I think. they're moving in. oh yeah I saw the guy he's uh he's. something he Parks his van in front and. he just goes inside for hours but then. he leaves at night so I guess he didn't.

move in I thought maybe he was. renovating the place but I never see him. moving anything in I don't see him. moving anything out no equipment no. furniture. my God you noticed that. I do one time I try to peek in and the. entire place is still empty like no. mattress no sofa no dining table nothing. there's no renovations being done I just. thought it was weird. you know it's even weirder though. these ladies they tried saying hi to the.

guy that just moved in they would walk. past and they said I waved to him yeah I. was I was with my family and it waved. and it's so obvious he's avoiding me. it's like he won't even make eye contact. with me he just has this expression on. his face that feels cold. there's like nothing behind his eyes he. just keeps smoking his cigarettes the. neighbors shared nervous glances with. each other and as the days went on the. new neighbor started to act even. stranger they started covering all of. their windows with these black cloths.

as if they didn't want anybody to look. inside they covered the front door with. a black cloth so if they were to open. the front door and walk out you wouldn't. even be able to Glimpse in because. there's like this curtain hanging so. there's open the door you just see a. black curtain exactly it's like they're. hiding something I mean that's not even. convenient I'm sure each neighbor had. their own little conspiracy well maybe. he's running a brothel maybe it's his. first mistress maybe he's like hiding a. secret family here. well I heard illegal gambling rings are.

pretty big these days it could be that I. don't think that any of them would have. guessed that in just two short weeks the. police would swarm the house finding the. dismembered remains of a young mother. daughter wealthy socialite murdered. dismembered and cooked into soup from. inside that very home. [Music]. oh.

[Music]. welcome to this week's Minnesota of. rotten mango as you guys know we're. doing mini sewed visuals now so if you. guys are watching the video on YouTube. or Spotify hello I actually had a. completely different video on a separate. case for today's upload but I was. reading the comments I was reading. emails DMS and I was getting so many. requests to cover the dismemberment case.

of Abby Choi I looked online I didn't. see many people covering it in like one. compiled video maybe it's because it's. so new there's constant new developments. I've tried to gather all the credible. information that I could find this case. is interesting because now I think like. a lot of ongoing cases it's starting to. head into like this weird conspiracy. theory territory so I try to gather all. the credible information that's been. released combine it in this one video. but like I said there's gonna be so many. more new developments and if need be we.

can always do an update this is just. what we know so far and if you guys are. watching the video I have a white patch. on my hand it is um. it's it's like a eucalyptus patch for my. allergies so you don't hear me heavy. breathing into the mic so with that. being said show notes are listed at. rottenminglepodcast.com and let's get. into it I know it might not seem like it. if you've been following this case but. it starts with Cal Quang I know you're. like who I was hearing the names Abby.

and Alex who's cal cal Quang was finding. it very hard to find a job every time he. found a job he would mess it up or he. would get fired I mean nothing seemed to. stick he wished that he could have his. old job back it was hard but at least it. was it was fun it was his favorite job. that he's ever had in his entire life. looking back calcuang used to be a. sheriff for a police department it gave. him like a sense of Duty a sense of. fulfillment an immense sense of power if. I'm being honest. and in 2005 all of that came crumbling.

down just disintegrated a girl walked. into the police station to report a. crime she was the victim Sheriff Huang. tried to comfort her walk through the. process of this is what's going to. happen next we're going to look for the. perpetrators we need your statements. this is what we need he was just a. really caring police officer the girl. found herself opening up to him in ways. that she didn't think that she would I. mean she had a completely different. vision of what was going to happen she. thought none of the police were going to.

care she thought the sheriff was gonna. be like get out of here we don't care. about this nonsense they wouldn't take. her seriously that's what she thought I. mean can you blame her but Sheriff Quang. was he was different he listened he was. so patient with her he he made sure that. she was comfortable and that she trusted. him and after such a horrific crime. after being victimized she starts. feeling hope like okay maybe there are. good people out there. so one day she gets a knock on her door. two in the morning. she wasn't that startled to see Sheriff.

Quang outside police work all hours of. the day okay they don't just work nine. to five maybe there was a breakthrough. in her case maybe there was urgent news. he needed to tell her about. she lets him in at two in the morning. and Sheriff Kwong the man who pledged to. protect his duty was to serve the one. that she had vulnerably trusted and. opened up to about what had happened to. her what she had to endure how she was. traumatized. he allegedly raped her this part of the. research I didn't even.

because just think about the sheriff. taking advantage allegedly but taking. advantage of a victim's trust and then. again to re-victimize them in the safety. of their own home after you gain their. trust as a police officer in uniform was. he charged he wasn't charged so that's. why I have to say allegedly but it a lot. of sources can confirm it but he wasn't. charged he was let go as a sheriff now. the thing that it gets confusing is. allegedly he was let go because of a.

variety of different allegations that. were on his record so this might not. even be the first alleged this might be. the second there might be other crimes. that he had gotten involved with. allegedly oh my God this is like 10. times worse than a criminal I always. think it's worse when the criminals are. in a position of authority and you start. to trust them yeah and they're the. people that you're supposed to go to and. they abuse that power it's terrifying so. in 2005 Sheriff Quang was not arrested. not charged but he was let go from his.

job as Sheriff now it seems like money. is hard to come by no job is paying him. as well no job seems to be worth his. time they were all too much work not. enough power not enough respect right it. was getting rough. so cow he was pretty happy when his son. Alex announced that he was going to be. marrying Abby Choi now most parents. would not have been happy because his. son Alex is 18 years old and his future. bride is also 18 years old that's pretty. young you know but Abby Choi was.

different she's caring compassionate. intelligent but more importantly to Cal. Kwong first she didn't know that he was. and secondly her parents were multi. multi-millionaires like this was his. ticket to sit at the table of Hong. Kong's Elite and nothing was going to. stop him you're like okay who is Abby I. feel like I'm always trying to find ways. to tell you about someone without being. like she was nice guys trust me she was.

very nice so in Abby Choice case I can. tell you about this cat. you're like what does this cat have to. do with it this cat originally didn't. even have a name it didn't have a home. it didn't even have a cat bed it didn't. even have a bowl to eat food out of it. was a stray cat that had been trying to. cross this busy road and it was hit by a. car just slammed the cat was laying on. the side of the road couldn't get up. both the front legs of this cat were. broken the cat couldn't move the cat. couldn't even meow for help I mean it.

just once were from another car and that. cat would have just been squashed but. somehow the Stars aligned and a passerby. spotted the cat like they're like okay I. gotta Rush this cat to some sort of. hospital they rush it to a local. non-profit organization for stray. animals and now a lot of non-profit. organizations might not have been able. to help this cat. this cat was severely injured the cost. to help her recover when it wasn't even.

clear that she would survive the surgery. that she would even be able to recover I. mean non-profits don't have unlimited. funds and it seems like there's. unlimited animals that they need to help. but this non-profit was funded by Hong. Kong wealthy socialite Abby Choi and she. was the type that was like I don't give. up on any cats. so this tiny little black cat was named. chicha chicha which means car in. Mandarin and after surgery on both after. the car oh my gosh and the cat like.

looks so full of life like this little. clip the cat is kind of sassy looking. and after surgery on both front legs and. getting pain meds and being fed chitcha. is on the road to recovery literally on. the road to recovery and that is the. type of person that Abby Choi was. and I think that's like the best way to. describe her because if I were to start. with her background a lot of it is so. privileged our parents are wealthy. they're really really rich and the. lifestyle that she lives is definitely.

comparable to like a nepo baby it feels. like. but it's hard to hate her it's hard to. find fault in her she just seems so damn. nice and so genuine so a little bit. about her Abby Choi was born to a. wealthy Hong Kong businessman her dad. was incredibly successful or is. incredibly successful he took care of. his wife and three daughters really. really well like think top socialite. family in Hong Kong go into charity. Galas being invited to front row seats. at Dior shows Chanel shows I mean even.

Abby's Instagram is filled with her. attending like these big big fashion. shows being on the cover of these. fashion magazines and as I was scrolling. through her Instagram and she posts. frequently the one interesting word that. kept popping up in my head while I was. scrolling was she kind of reminds me of. a fairy. like I don't know if it's the dresses. that she wears or maybe the way that she. looks maybe it's the way that she. carries herself the more that I look. into her and the more that I look at her. Instagram she just looks like a fairy.

like she seems so elegant and full of. grace. people who worked with Abby back that up. they said oh yeah no she shines so. bright like there's like a glimmer in. this girl she always left this really. good impression on us we felt lucky to. cross paths with her despite being a. socialite despite being born with like. this Silver Spoon in her mouth Abby Troy. was really kind there's some videos of. her that she posted herself and she just. has this soft gentle voice.

[Music]. a live streamer who went to Fashion Week. ran into Abby a few times and he said. among all the celebrities that I've met. Abby was the most down to earth anytime. she saw him she would smile brightly at. him and he would ask her to take. pictures and be a part of his live. stream and of course Abby could easily. say no she could easily be like.

distracted and pay attention to the next. person I mean have you seen like the. entrance to these fashion week shows. insane so hectic but she would give them. her undivided attention she would smile. for the camera at one point the streamer. calls her Amy completely just getting. her name wrong and She's So Graceful she. she smiles and interacts with him and. just even though he got her name wrong. [Music].

the streamer said I mean the fact that. she was interacting with us she was. posing for us and letting us take her. pictures we were streaming outside and. she even invited us to go in with her it. just made a lot of sense that people who. knew Abby. they kind of got why she would marry. Alex Quang. she was 18 years old when she got. married for the first time and Alex. Quang was like her high school. sweetheart they knew each other since. they were young like middle school and.

even even though Abby's parents were. worried I mean I think even Abby's. friends were worried Alex Quang. was not on the same Financial level as. Abby nor were his parents and in Chinese. there's actually a term for it and it's. called. which means to marry beneath your social. class. Abby comes from a super wealthy. background Alex's maybe middle class um. his financial status really fluctuated. because well his parents were always all.

over the place does America not have. that saying at all I know I don't think. so I guess these are all back in the. days it's getting better nowadays like. Monday your status should be similar I. feel like in West. ER the. but I think they wouldn't say it as. outright. so I think it's just a cultural. difference but I think just universally. around the world there is that sentiment. Abby comes from a really wealthy. background Alex was not and her friends. and family were not the type to be like.

I can't believe you're not marrying. someone Rich they're more the type to. say something along the lines of like. you're so young like give it time you're. only 18. we're not saying don't marry. him it doesn't even matter that he's not. rich but the one thing you might need to. learn is that you need to be extra. careful since you're in this financial. standing and you need to make sure that. people like you for you right for the. right reasons and Abby was this. incredibly smart and intelligent girl. but she did not buy into these social. structures she's like it doesn't even.

matter why does it matter why does it. matter who has money and how much money. they have I have more than enough to. take care of myself to take care of my. future husband his family it doesn't. matter whose wallet it's coming from as. long as we have food on the table she's. literally the type that if she loves you. she doesn't care about your social class. your education level literally she just. loves you for you besides Abby herself. had a net worth of over 12 million. dollars That's not including her parents. massive wealth like this was just her. her real estate portfolio on its own was.

incredible so to her it's just like yeah. I mean I don't really need my husband to. make money like we're gonna be fine. and for about three years they were fine. they got married they had two children. together but ultimately in 2015 they. decided to divorce I have no idea the. exact reason for the divorce and it's. hard to say because Abby quite literally. and this is wild even to her closest. friends Abby never spoke ill about her. ex-husband.

like never I mean he was the father of. her two children she was adamant on. maintaining a peaceful relationship with. him his family everything she just. wasn't going to deprive her kids of. happiness and this nice family just. because she was getting divorced and you. know usually when Partners split up and. you have one partner making a ton of. money and another partner not doing so. well most cases I've heard lawyers get. involved it becomes a court case really. nasty allegations are thrown around like.

finances are ripped apart and it's oh my. gosh like that's the norm these days but. again Abby really wasn't that type she. sat down Alex and his parents during the. three years that she was married to Alex. Kwong at her young age of 18 to to what. 21 years old that they were married Abby. had been supporting not only her husband. Alex but his entire family his two. parents mom and dad and his brother. Anthony she'd been supporting the whole. family financially his dad is the police.

the sheriff she had no idea of his. crimes yeah the Quang family had gone. from barely being middle class to not. working living a luxurious. privileged-filled life of like the Hong. Kong Elite. Abby sat them down and told them I'm. still going to take care of you guys. we're no longer going to be married but. we're still a family at the end of the. day like we have kids together so don't. worry I'm gonna take care of you you. don't have to be stressed about that. that is crazy wow yeah and I thought.

this was so admirable but then like I'm. thinking during the research yeah okay. she's gonna support them she's gonna. give them maybe like the average salary. in Hong Kong uh maybe like a small. little apartment to move into I was. thinking like that because that would. still be so incredible and that's just. on top of what they would be making if. they had jobs like that's very generous. yeah she has no responsibility for any. of that none. but Abby bought them a 10 million dollar. condo in the exclusive kaduri Hill it's.

in Manhattan Hill of Hong Kong so think. Beverly Hills Upper East Side bought. them a 10 million dollar condo US dollar. yes US dollars. four bedrooms three bathrooms I mean. this property is insane and for 10. million dollars it better be so not only. is she just supporting them she's. sustaining the lifestyle that they got. accustomed to and this is like. indefinitely it's not like hey I'm just. doing this till you guys get back on.

your feet and when her ex-brother-in-law. Alex's brother um his name is Anthony. when he needed to find a job she offered. to let him be her driver we got personal. driver and she paid him a lot we're. going to get into that later but she. really trusted this guy like they would. have to spend every day together he. would drive her around Hong Kong pick up. her kids attend fancy events with her. they seem to have a really good. relationship from the outside he would. post these selfies with her talking. about how they had brother sister love. like I truly have never heard of a case.

of someone doing this for an ex and. their entire family so it's beyond. beyond beyond beyond generous yeah. generous isn't even I get it that they. have kids together but still yeah. exactly now a lot of people gravitated. towards app I mean clearly right do you. know who um. right yes okay yeah only the it's only. my dad's Idol that's only your dad's. Idol yeah no big deal no biggie so he's.

married to this beautiful woman named. mocha and she was best friends with Abby. they would constantly spend holidays. together birthdays and MoGo is so happy. for Abby when Abby was like I'm getting. married again and welcome is like I. approve of this guy his name is Chris. Tam so Chris is the heir it's this. massive food conglomerate called tamjai. International the family The Tam family. is estimated to have a net worth of half. a billion US dollars.

yeah combined with Abby's family and her. individual net worth it's rumored that. she was now A Milli a billionaire I. don't know okay but that's what some. sources are just calling her a. billionaire but that's not the reason. that people were excited they were like. oh my God you're gonna be a billionaire. her friends were excited because Abby. and Chris knew each other since they. were 10 years old they had apparently. met an international school they were. like best friends back then and through. time they start drifting apart you know. and they start going their separate ways. but the fact that they found each other. again that's like a Disney movie and so.

people are like I feel so warm inside. and they're like you deserve happiness. Abby so go get it and the two held this. beautiful ceremony now this is very. pertinent they never got officially. married. maybe they were both just at a stage in. their lives where a piece of paper means. nothing they never got married on paper. but in every other sense of the word. they were a married couple which I think. is all that matters so they would go on.

to have these two beautiful children. together and by all accounts Abby's life. was really good. Chris was the right guy I mean his. parents accepted Abby's other two kids. the one that she had with ex-husband. Alex right and they just accepted them. into the family with open arms treated. them like their own grandchildren and. despite the potentially sticky situation. Chris actually knew Alex since they were. younger too. it's like all of them knew each other. since they were kids and Chris was like.

okay well Abby I know that Alex is Never. Gonna not be a part of your life because. you guys share children together so I'm. not gonna stand in that way in fact the. three of them the new husband Chris. ex-husband Alex and Abby Choi would have. dinners together would celebrate. holidays together with the kids so yeah. they were all getting along so they all. have a like a friendly healthy. relationship yeah now it's. though because.

because in human nature to get. accustomed to places and things like how. many times have we been like oh my God. if I just get this one thing I'll be so. happy and I'll never want anything else. and then you get that thing and you get. used to it and you're like if I just get. this next one thing I'll be so happy. but I would say most of us okay we have. this little like Bell in our heads it's. like okay you need to calm down you like. think about last year you would have. been so happy with this like come on now. don't get jaded it's like a check and.

balance system in our heads. some people don't have that and it's. terrifying to think about that because. greed is just a funny little thing just. 10 years ago the Quang family they were. struggling the dad kaukwang the sheriff. couldn't even find a job they didn't. even know where their next meal was. coming from and now no thanks to their. own hard work all the thanks to the. generosity of their ex-daughter-in-law. Abby Choi they are sitting in their 10. million dollar condo smack dab in the. middle of Hong Kong living in it for.

free they're not it's not even just the. condo Abby is sending them money to. spend every month she was supporting. their lifestyle too it's not just like. here's a condo I'm done Alex the. ex-husband would spend tens of thousands. of dollars every night that he went out. in like the big cities he would travel. around to the big cities in China and. just below like 40 Grand a night 50. Grand a night they felt like they. deserved more it was like the least they. could have they would shower in their. marble filled bathrooms and then we get.

angry like it's so cramped they would. sit in their plush little couches. staring at their marble fireplace. thinking about how Abby had done them. dirty she could easily afford to give. them more but she's not they would stand. in their beautifully designed closet. staring at like the mahogany trimmed. glass doors and they're like I bet. Abby's closet is bigger. it's it's this craziest thing and we're. gonna end to it I think the crazy part. of this is that out of the whole Quang. family not one single person not the dad.

not the mom not Alex the ex-husband or. the brother Anthony not a single one of. them pumped the brakes. and was like guys we sound ridiculous. like we don't work we get money. deposited into our accounts we live in a. 10 million dollar condo for free like. this is silly we should be excited we. should be happy. not a single one of the family of four. said that. because that's the thing about jaded. people the only pleasure left for them. is to demolish others let's talk about. the day of the disappearance.

February 21st 2023 so. um gosh that's literally a week and a. half ago a week and a half ago Chris Tam. Abby's new husband like. he knew something was wrong when Abby. didn't show up to pick the daughter up. from school Abby's one of those moms. like she doesn't care that she has a. bunch of assistants or caretakers at her. beck and call picking up the kids was an. honor for her as a mother it was not. like her to go off the radar and just. like leave her kid waiting she just. didn't show up she wasn't picking up her.

phone her car was nowhere to be found. nobody had heard from her and it's it's. like she went radio silent this had. never happened before Abby's parents. Chris they all thought maybe someone. kidnapped Abby for ransom. because you know they're gonna know that. she's wealthy I mean criminals are. getting crazy these days there's. Instagram there's social media maybe. they followed her and they kidnapped her. so they're probably standing by their. phones like anxiously waiting hoping. someone's gonna make that call if if not. someone would call in demand money and.

they would gladly pay anything in. exchange for Abby being returned home to. her husband and kids safe and sound. so they wait no call comes the very next. day February 22nd of 2023 a formal. police report was published detailing. Abby choi's disappearance they said that. yesterday February 21st at around 2 15. p.m she was last seen wearing a white. long-sleeve sweater with white pants. white shoes and carrying a white jacket. the police held a press conference they.

released pictures of her from CCTV. footage and encouraged anybody with any. information to come forward. now of course. the first people that the police are. going to look into regardless of the. financial situation or anything it's. gonna be the ex-husband it's gonna be. the ex-husband's family they had no idea. if they were barking up the right tree. but when they went to go question the. Quang family I mean it was pretty clear. that they were barking up the right tree. sources state that the Quang family was. playing Tai Chi with the police so I.

looked into it. yeah yeah okay so I was a little bit. confused on this one okay when it comes. to these International cases I'm like. trying to make sure nothing gets Lost in. Translation but essentially Tai Chi if. you guys don't know it's Chinese martial. arts but their whole philosophy is that. you don't put force on a force if. there's two equal forces pushing on each. other it doesn't do anything both people. just use up all their energy it's dumb. yeah you when you just punching each.

other it's stupid yeah it's about like. gracefully maneuvering the force yeah. it's it's taking the force pushing it. away and moving the energies around so. someone's trying to punch you and you're. more of like this energy Master that's. how they were answering questions like. where were you yesterday they're like. taking the question moving it away and. it wasn't even done in a good way like. the police are like you are being. incredibly invasive like you're not even. this is so suspicious the Quang family.

truly was not that intelligent so the. police quickly they pick up on all their. little mix match stories on all their. little lies and they knew that they were. barking up the right tree they start. digging into each member of the Quang. family and it seemed like every single. one of them had motive which side note. Apparently after this visit from the. police Alex called his ex-in-laws he. called Abby's parents and yelled at them. he was like I can't believe you didn't. inform me that you guys were calling the. police. yeah so okay yeah make next time our.

loved one goes missing we will go and. call everyone to get permission to make. sure that we can report them missing but. what's the reason for that though he. does feel a little hot-headed you think. he's just upset yeah that the police. came so quickly yes and I think that oh. maybe yes like he was like this is way. quicker than I thought so he's upset. okay that makes more sense I also think. that this is just purely speculation. maybe he thought that the police. wouldn't have been called and all the.

families would have this back and forth. of like where do you think she went and. he would plant his little seeds because. that's typically what people do when. people vanish it's like oh maybe she ran. away and you start trying to convince. people of these things and she was. hoping for more time right yeah because. they needed more and he was genuinely. upset wow. the fact that he called is incredible. Abby Choi wanted to sell their 10. million dollar condo that they felt like. they deserved it was going to be put up. for sale I did see some sources say that.

the way that they found out was also. maybe. disgruntleing allegedly allegedly and I. don't know if this is true that Realtors. had come into the condo to show it to. potential buyers and I don't know if the. Quang family was alerted beforehand I'm. not sure but that's just some. speculation of maybe why the Quang. family was so upset now here's the thing. about this condo it's said that Abby. promised to relocate the family but it's. kind of up in the air what the reason.

for this condo sale was it said that. Abby told the Quang family that this is. purely for investment reasons it's just. for her real estate portfolio she's. making investment decisions but the. Quang family it's alleged that they did. not believe her they said no the real. estate market is down right now so you. bought it at like 10.1 million dollars. the real estate Market is so down you. might lose half a million dollars and. it's not like you're in this financial. position where you're like I need that. cash right now I need these funds you.

don't need to sell this house so why are. you selling this house right now so that. led a lot of speculations online to. believe that Abby was finally trying to. set some boundaries I think for so long. this family like they were vultures like. they just leeched off of her and not. just financially but I'm sure. emotionally mentally just so much and. maybe she was finally getting the. courage to be like okay you know what. you're right I'm gonna set these.

boundaries and maybe the sale of this. condo was that I personally don't think. that Abby would have left them out on. the street and be like I'm done with you. I'm cutting you off cold turkey I don't. think so but the Quang family it didn't. matter because they wanted their 10. million dollar condo so uh this was. their home they felt like they deserved. it they couldn't understand how Abby was. being so heartless. and I don't understand how they could. think such a thing the police dug into. the family and they found something very. very suspicious records showed that the. Quang family rented a home in the.

suburbs like outside of Hong Kong two. weeks before Abby disappeared so like. early February of this year. they just randomly rented a random house. in the suburbs. premeditated then right yeah and like I. know some people would be like oh well. maybe they're like prepping for the sale. and this is what they're not moving in. they're not moving in like there's not a. single piece of furniture in that place. this was the initial breakthrough and. the case really starts amping up at this. point so February 21st of this year she. goes missing February 22nd the next day.

police put out a report for her. disappearance February 23rd the Kowloon. Police Department take the lead on the. case February 24th just three days after. Abby goes missing. Abby was found murdered in the Quang. family's rented house. this is the beginning of the story that. you were talking about right the. apartment that I rented. [Music]. here's what we know so far and it's not.

really enough to give you the full. picture I'm sure we'll get more. additional details as things progress. but the police held a press conference. to announce everything they had so far. they released that Abby and the Quang. family were having massive disputes like. I said about the 10 million residents. Abby wanted to put it up for sale they. didn't now to further complicate things. the house was bought under cow Quang the. ex-father-in-law's name the speculation. for this was that in Hong Kong they have.

these special property laws where the. first house you purchase you get a. massive tax break but the more property. you buy your second property your third. property the tax breaks no longer there. primary resident versus investment yes. it is yeah so you end up paying a lot. more in taxes the difference in um it. was massive this was not Abby's first. property if she had purchased it under. her name on this 10.1 million dollar. property she would have to pay. 1.39 million dollars in property taxes. but if she purchased it under somebody.

else's name as their first property it's. four hundred thousand dollars in. property taxes that's she saved a. million dollars a million dollars yeah. to me that's also just immense amount of. trust. yeah sure saving a million is good for. her but she must trusted him a lot to do. that which makes this case more. heartbreaking again we don't know if. this is why but it's common amongst. wealthier families who leads to. something like this with close family. members right to buy the houses under. their names but that doesn't mean that.

the Quang family owned the house this is. where it gets really Technical and. tricky it's kind of a gray area where. technically they could argue she gifted. us this house she said here's a present. but the law also States if Abby can. prove that the finances for the house. all the mortgage payments the money for. the house came from only her account and. not the Quang family's account she could. prove that it's her property. so it's very just a lot of a lot of.

legal talk and I I do feel like proving. that would be relatively easy otherwise. I don't think that she would have had. Realtors come in and even said that she. was going to put it up for sale I'm not. sure if she had to pay some sort of back. taxes or if she was going to get fined. but it seemed like she would probably be. able to prove that it was her property. so that was the first thing that the. police released the motive and then they. always said that Alex was just such a. leech the police were talking about how. um just the guys. spent so much money like he had hundreds.

of thousands of dollars in watches. yeah I mean his brother Anthony was. similar to like he would constantly post. on social media platforms just rows of. alcoholic bottles like tequila bottles I. don't even know what kind of alcohol. they are maybe wine bottles but the. internet found out that each bottle is. like five hundred dollars and he's got. them all lined up like they're water. bottles so the question was you know did. they kill Abby to keep the condo but.

that doesn't make sense because would. they get additional money it's not like. Abby's estate was required to give them. monthly payments there was no alimony. contracts that doesn't seem well thought. out in the Quang family they don't seem. like the type that's going to sell the. property live below their means and try. to use that cash to live off of. the theory the speculation. remember how I said it was pertinent. that Abby didn't remarry Chris her new. husband the theory and speculation is. that because she did not legally marry.

him if she died she would die a single. woman with four children her estate her. net worth would be split amongst her. four kids two of whom she shared with. Alex. and since they're minors they're like 10. years old the oldest is 10 they would be. under the control of Alex and the Quang. family he would be able to control their. finances and essentially he would. inherit half of Abby's wealth. that to them was enough to kill her when. the police first walked into the home.

that was rented in the the suburbs I. imagine they were unsettled I mean even. from the outside I think that they had a. gut feeling I think when you're an. officer and you probably see a lot of. these cases just the blacked out windows. I think that they knew if they were. going to find Abby she most likely. wouldn't have been alive they walk in. through the front door the black cloth. was hanging there and it's just no. Furnishings nothing in the house it felt. like the house was rented for the sole. purpose of killing someone it was like a. kill house inside the police found two.

different types of meat grinders an. electric saw a hammer. face Shields black raincoats a purple. Hermes Handbag that belonged to Abby. that she was carrying the day that she. went missing inside were her credit. cards and her ID so they found all I. mean just think about it an empty house. no piece of furniture and these are the. things that you have meat grinders. aprons like. raincoats. so in the kitchen the police find.

two stainless steel pots it's believed. that instantly they knew that these were. they had to be sent to the medical. examiner they it said that they could. see human tissue it looked like human. flesh had been grinded up there was a. bunch of suspicious meat in there and to. make it even more unsettling was that. the human tissue and flesh was mixed. with carrots and radishes and peppers. like seasonings so these two stainless. steel pots they're sent to the medical.

examiner's office they would later be. tested and they found Abby's head inside. one of the soups they're they're calling. it like a broth the soup had been cooked. so she had been badly decomposed the. only way to confirm that it was Abby. Choi was through dental records. they did find evidence of a massive blow. to her skull it was presumed to have. been fatal but it's unclear if this is. what caused her to die or if this is.

after she was dead they attempted to. smash her skull I don't know I think. that. the Killer's adding carrots and radishes. and these seasonings to the soups it's. beyond me I mean we don't know we don't. know if they were trying to dispose of. our body inconspicuously by disguising. it as soup or if they were planning on. consuming the soup we we have no idea. what their plan was as of right now so. that's one pot the other pot contained. pieces of her ribs collar bones pieces.

of Flesh and other ingredients when the. police searched the freezer and the. fridge they found Abby's feet in the. freezer and also in the house they found. her lower torso in her legs. it said that there was um the flesh. looked like it had been attempted to be. cut out of her thighs so you could see. her thigh bones through her remains. her upper body was nowhere to be found. in the house. so the police stated that at this point. they hadn't checked the head inside the. pot so they were still looking for her.

head arms and the rest of her body right. I mean just by how the house was set up. like the covering of the windows the. supplies that they had I mean this house. is a kill house the Quang family had. planned the murder and dismemberment of. Abby Choi for at least two weeks at. least probably more though so the. neighbor that everyone saw was the. father yeah just outside smoking. prepping things he seems to be kind of. The Mastermind of it all some sources. said that the neighbors heard a lot of. screaming the night that Abby.

disappeared and they thought somebody. was watching TV then I saw other sources. say that the neighbors said no no like. we didn't hear anything we did not hear. any screaming like we are the type of. people that we would have called the. cops. so it's kind of up in the air the police. believe that the murder plot was in the. works for at least a month there is a. video of the police pushing the. refrigerator out of the house to bring. it in as evidence so what did the police. believe happened they believed that the. day of February 21st Abby was on the way. to pick up her daughter Anthony her.

ex-brother-in-law was driving her in. this Toyota van and on the way to pick. up her daughter he stops the car near a. tunnel ABI most most likely confused. about what was going on suddenly the. back door would swing open and Alex. would jump in the car now there's kind. of two speculations of how it went and. we still don't know which one is valid. the first belief is that maybe the two. get in some sort of argument so Alex and. Abby are in the back they're arguing. about this property about the sale of.

the property about the money and all of. these things. some people believe there was no. argument Alex jumped in the back and. ambushed her either way it's believed. that Abby was beaten harshly in the back. of her car and all the while her. ex-brother-in-law is driving the car I. mean he knew this was gonna happen this. is someone that she trusted to employ. and her ex-husband the one she financed. for essentially most of his life the one. she showed enough like respect and Grace. to support his entire family he was. attacking her in the back of the car.

freaking insane it's like when the whole. freaking family yes yes planned this all. together or I was thinking it's like. someone like Abby right most likely for. them like a lot of time they have. bodyguards or Securities and I imagine. she probably saw Anthony yeah as that as. her bodyguard as the safest one exactly. like you hire someone to drive you. around she hired him because he is. family trust him yes and she was paying. him way more than a driver's salary too. like it was she.

really trusted him wanted to help him. it's not like she was begging him to be. her driver in fact Alex was the one that. suggested Anthony become Abby's driver. so it's believed that Abby was left. unconscious in the back of the car and. the brothers drove to the rented house. it's unclear if she was dead at this. point or if she was just unconscious. CCTV at the entrance of the rented house. catch them coming into the neighborhood. at around 3 12 p.m and then another car.

enters around the same time this is. suspected to be the ex-father-in-law Kal. Kwong The Mastermind and everyone works. on the killing and dismemberment of Abby. Choi inside this kill house at one point. the ex-father-in-law the car drives to a. local cemetery and it was initially. believed that some of her body parts. were going to be disposed of there but. police have not found anything there. then the police started a search in the. takuling landfill huge landfill I mean. this was gonna be no easy feat there's.

videos of them starting the search. it looks daunting it is one of the. largest landfills in Hong Kong every. single day they get nearly 7 000 tons of. new trash to give you perspective about. half of Hong Kong's garbage gets. disposed in that landfill on a daily. basis. what yeah how is that possible to find. anything yeah so they're looking you. know they found the head later they're. looking for her upper torso and her.

upper limbs it's gonna be a huge task. and her hands are also missing but um. they're trying and the family won't tell. them no they are arrested but they won't. cooperate so three arrests were. initially made there was um there's. multiple rounds of arrests that we're. gonna get into the first round three. people are arrested Anthony Quang the. ex-brother-in-law the driver for Abby. the two Quang parents the cop dad and. the mother now these are the ex-in-laws. for happy choice so all of them the. mother is arrested too it's interesting.

because the mother was not charged for. murder she was charged for helping Alex. Escape because Alex is nowhere to be. found right now that's why only three of. them are arrested so Alex is on the Run. they can't arrest him yet and it seems. like the whole world is looking for this. guy Abby's close friend. um took to social media in a desperate. attempt to find answers she offered up a. million Hong Kong dollars for anyone who. would have any information leading to. Alex's arrest. and she stated that she wanted him found.

alive police revealed that the guy had a. shady criminal past Alex Abby had no. idea that her ex-husband was a criminal. he had a penchant for fraud he would. trick people sleep with them and steal. from them and then rinse and repeat his. usual method was he would meet these. people online and it didn't matter if. they were women or men he would meet. with them on dating websites he would. tell them that he was a gold dealer and. that he made so much money off of his. investments in gold now if they look at.

his social media page it's filled with. penthouses presidential Suites and. hotels hundred thousand dollar watches. supercars I mean the guy is clearly. living it up he would tell them that he. turned gold investments into into gold. like you could make a ton of money from. it so he would take these people to. these random small gold shops like in. the middle of the street talk them into. buying large amounts of gold like. thousands of dollars of gold sometimes. even tens if not hundreds of thousands. of dollars and you'd sit there and he'd.

be like the gold market is down right. now in a few months it's gonna explode. I'm telling you I know the market this. is gonna double triple in like two. months you're gonna profit like crazy. like there's never been an opportunity. like this. they would go home with their pockets. full of gold they would have like a skip. in their step they're so excited you. know they think that they're going to be. rich Alex would later seduce them in. their house sleep with them and when. their guard was down it's alleged that. he would run off with all the gold that. they just bought. wow yeah but he oh that's kind of smart.

because that you can track gold yeah. there's no records you can just sell to. go somewhere and cash the money and he. he did well he made allegedly about. eight hundred thousand dollars USD from. that but Alex was not the only one. keeping secrets the father Cal Quang um. this is when the reports of him being. allegedly arrested and the police force. came out but other than that the 65 year. old guy was in massive amounts of debt. it's believed that he was. the one that was very greedy like the.

leader of the family. yeah The Mastermind and Alex's brother. Anthony he also had a ton of debt like. to the tune of three hundred thousand. dollars everything he touched seemed to. turn into debt before he was employed as. Abby's driver he wanted to open up a. restaurant so he asks Chris and Abby to. lend him a ton of money to open up this. restaurant which they did the restaurant. failed and Anthony ends up in even more. debt wow I just cannot even like imagine.

they met the kindest person you can. imagine and that's this is their payback. yeah. yeah that is part was. paid over industry pay position as her. driver in just a few days before the. murder he posted pictures with Abby. captioned brother sister love. at this point Anthony would have already. known about the plot to kill and. dismember ABI Choi he would have known. about the rented house he would have.

been part of the planning he would have. known where to stop so that his brother. Alex could get in the car he would have. thought in depth about how they were. going to kill her and cook her in soup. and yet I don't know like this isn't. even part of an alibi I don't even know. why he took these pictures and posted. them so the Father the brother Anthony. and the mother of the Quang family was. arrested police did not press murder. charges for her like I said but um those. are arrested then the police finally. locate Alex and this guy.

okay this is where they find him he. planned to flee Hong Kong on a speedboat. off the pier. he was ambushed before he left they. found him with sixty five thousand. dollars in cash and nearly half a. million dollars of luxury watches look I. don't know I originally thought like. this guy is bringing these watches so. that he can sell them for money later. right. but I also like just what I've. researched about this guy so far I don't. know I also kind of feel like this was.

his priority in life. I can imagine him being like my precious. watches he gets arrested and he had the. audacity to tell the police he's not. feeling well so they rushed him to the. hospital I'm always amazed that a lot of. killers just get better in medical. treatment than regular civilians that. are suffering from autoimmune diseases. chronic illnesses I mean it just boggles. my mind like every single time obviously. we don't want them to die because we. want them to suffer in prison for the. rest of their lives but like the guy was. clearly fine the whole family is.

arrested and it said that the father he. was in court looking around as the judge. was talking to him before the pre-trial. hearings like. like he's none of this has anything to. do with him it's almost like he's. looking around to be like who are these. people talking about the rest of the. family they held their heads down the. entire time and it said that all of them. refused to help locate the rest of. Abby's body even to the very end it. seems like they're going to be vultures. now the case for them is going to court. May 8th I believe at least that's the. date as of right now so in a few days.

the fact that the family even tried to. ask for bail pissed off a lot of. netizens people online speculated the. family of demons like it's not even a. Pity if they drop dead at once the fact. that they want bail the one thing that. seems to be in the works for the. defendants is the killers are going to. try and argue it's speculated that. they're going to try and argue that the. house was a gift from Abby Choi if the. judge agrees with this they essentially. have 10 million dollars that they could. leverage in their defense.

which I don't know how it works in Hong. Kong but I know in the US. money does by a lot of power in the. courts. I don't know what's gonna happen. so soon after the whole family gets. arrested so Mom Dad Alex and the brother. two more people get arrested and these. kind of felt random so a 47 year old. woman was arrested. she was said to be the Mistress of the. 65 year old Cal Quang the dad the dude. has a mistress yeah it's alleged that he.

had bought like rented an apartment with. a mistress so that he could meet her. there the speculation is that this woman. works at an escorting business the two. meant now they're dating allegedly even. rented a house probably using Abby's. money for them to Rendezvous so that's. great great person overall um why is she. arrested yeah so she wasn't arrested for. the murder but it said that she helped. try to hide Alex when he was on the run. now I don't know maybe that's going to.

turn into murder charges maybe she knew. about the murder maybe she did help but. as of right now that's what she was. arrested for and then just a few days. ago from the day that you're probably. watching this it's March 2nd another. arrest was made. a man who had been identified to be 41. years old and his name is he's just. going by Lim in the Press reports he was. the one that tried to orchestrate Alex's. Escape Plan he had taken a payment of 40. 000 US dollars to secure a speedboat for. Alex to let him Escape Hong Kong.

medicines were able to find him online. and this is completely unrelated to the. case but I just thought it was. interesting to note this guy Lim used to. work for a big record label like a as a. marketing manager he rubbed shoulders. with some of the biggest names in the. industry Jay Chou no way there's. pictures of him with Jay Chou Easton. Chen Ethan Chen a legend he hadn't been. in the entertainment industry for at. least eight years since the murder took. place but I guess it was just a bizarre. connection that netizens were able to. dig up these celebrities have nothing to.

do with the murder so as of right now. there were six total arrests made the. father of the Quang family the mother. Anthony the ex-brother-in-law personal. driver Alex the ex-husband the mistress. to the Quang family father the speedboat. Escape guy so what now the whole world. seemed to immediately be grieving for. Abby Choi and her best friend mocha. posted my heart hurts so badly I still. can't accept that this is truth I don't. even know how to describe how I feel. right now I just have a thousand.

questions and to this day I feel like I. can't calm down the pain that I feel my. deepest condolences to Abby's family. Chris Abby's husband spoke out to say. I'm very happy and thankful that Abby. came into my life she gave me these two. wonderful children she was always. supporting me and loving me Abby was a. very kind person she just wanted to help. others those who had the chance to be in. her life were all very lucky. and with that Chris and Abby's family.

all arrived to the murder house they. came to the kill house they held this. massive ceremony for her and correct me. if I'm wrong but I heard that this is. kind of common when your loved one dies. in a separate City. and if they're dismembered. there's processes that you have to take. to bring connect their Spirit again to. make them whole them home yeah or just. call them back yeah call them back home. because it said that if these um Spirits. get lost they can't find their way home.

and it's this horrible fate in the. afterlife to just wander around. searching for your family usually it's. tochi like the seventh day usually the. spirit will come home to visit your home. for the last time they just want to make. sure that she can rest at home. um Abby's mom was really heartbroken. there's videos she's just crying through. the entire ceremony she's literally. can't even stand up by herself she's. leaning on Abby's husband like it feels.

like my heart aches for this woman I. feel like she's gonna break down at any. moment like. and she just kept saying my precious. daughter I'll never be able to see you. again and she would say that her death. was so unfair and she said stupid stupid. girl you used all your kindness on the. wrong person your kindness was gobbled. up by these undeserving people and she. said these people ate my daughter's. heart up.

oh boy. [Music]. [Music]. a lot of people commented like. what will her children be told when they. grow up and ask what happened to their. mother. there's just a lot of anger and outrage. and that's that's where the case is.

right now with the family grieving and. speaking of the family grieving I think. that there were a lot of appropriate. responses to this case in my opinion you. know this ceremony though it brought up. a lot of conspiracy theories that. I don't even understand like people were. judging certain family members of Abby's. for wearing certain things and I saw the. videos I saw what they were wearing I. didn't I don't even know what they're. talking about. like someone was wearing black tights.

and they were like this is crazy attire. some of the allegations and conspiracies. that are coming out of this case it's. insane. um I understand the anger that people. feel like the pain the confusion that. people feel about this case I get it but. there were some strange conversations. that were started online because of this. case the first being that a lot of these. like online discourse forums they. started talking about men. and they started bringing up the. conversation of shaja. yeah yeah marrying down that became a.

huge topic of conversation. online and it just seemed like people. were almost leaning towards that as like. proof. um yeah it got very weird. um people it feels very taboo in the U.S. to read it but people were saying like. the result of marrying beneath you is. that you lose yourself and your wealth. some people were saying things that were. Wilder they were like love yourself and.

stay away from poor men look I get the. anger but I would just say this is a bit. of a strange response. some speculated that she supported this. evil family financially and it's. speculated that as she got more. successful when she married Chris. the family got jealous like they could. not bear to see her live a good life. people speculated that the Quang family. I mean they sound egotistical don't they. they sound evil they speculated that. these types of personalities would.

Harbor deep hatred for even the hand. that feeds them. they were probably so upset and resented. Abby for the fact that their entire. lives relied on Abby now another. commenter wrote. um Love is between two people but. marriage is between two families it's. best to look into your in-laws. so a lot of people kind of took this. case as a way of sharing these marriage. sentiments which I thought was. I don't know like I guess is that how.

people are coping with this I don't know. it's just it's weird and then there are. seedier Parts which I'm sure if you guys. have been following this case I'm not. even going to mention but they were. alleging that family members of Abby's. were sleeping with family members at the. Quang family like just. I don't even know it's just please stop. so after the arrest Abby and Alex's two. kids were sent to live with Chris's. mother so their step-grandma and she's. taking care of all four kids while the. investigation continues so that Chris.

can grieve and cooperate with the police. it seems like the children are very safe. with her they're in good hands which. side note she has spoken up about the. situation Chris's mom so her current. mother-in-law oh okay her. ex-mother-in-law is in jail and her. current mother-in-law she spoke up and. Chris's mom said after Abby's marriage. to my son Chris she was an amazing wife. a great daughter-in-law she really. respected us as in-laws Every Mother's.

Day every birthday she would come eat. with me she would get me gifts she. treated all her employees like her. drivers her workers her assistants she. just treated them so well Chris's dad so. her current father-in-law also spoke out. to say she was so kind we would all. travel together and ever everyone that. knew her they loved her even her. employees they respected how good of a. mother she was. and even though Abby and I are not blood. related she will always be our precious.

daughter. and so that's all we have right now on. the ongoing current case of Abby Choi. again I guess we'll just have to wait. and see how this unfolds I just hope. that the Quang family is very scared. because when you bite the hand that. feeds you you're ultimately going to be. the one that starves to death and Abby. Choi it doesn't seem like she will ever. be forgotten but they will be so that's. it for today's mini soap what are your. thoughts. and please stay safe and I'll see you.

guys on Wednesday for the main episode. bye.
