Episode Details

A 23-year-old Australian student, Alex Shorey, was viciously targeted by his ex-lover in Taiwan, who poisoned him multiple times with rat poison—administering it in his drinks and even while he was hospitalized. The woman, Yan Chin-ping, was found guilty of attempted murder after the court determined her actions were driven by fear he’d leave her and return home. Despite denying the charges and claiming the poison was for herself, she was sentenced to 11 years and 2 months for her calculated, remorseless attacks. Shorey’s life-threatening condition prompted a global crowdfunding effort that raised over $200,000 to fund his medical evacuation back to Australia, where he continues his recovery—with the remaining funds donated to the medical team that saved his life.
