THE CASE OF THE TAN FAMILY

hello guys and welcome back to my channel in today's video I'm going to be doing another unsolved mysteries video it has been a hot minute since I've done one of these and before we get into it I just want to mention that these are not called mystery mondays anymore these are not going up on a sudden day a certain time they're just going up when they go up when I've got one once I finish researching that's what I'm gonna upload it I'm not gonna put like a time or a day on it it's just when it happens it happens so now that that is out of the way let's just go ahead and get into today's case so today we're gonna be talking about the tan of family matters and honestly this is a one of the most frustrating cases that I have ever looked into in my life it just makes me want to rip my hair out because it's like I know that you should be in jail but no one's doing anything about it and it's also like why like why did you do it so let's just get into it on January and the sixth in 1979 all four children from the tan family were brutally murdered in their apartment their father tank winch I who was 38 and their mother Lee Mae Young who was 30 lived in a one-bedroom housing and development apartment which was on the fourth floor of the 58th block of I don't think I'm gonna put out this rat gayland brewery in Singapore they live there with their four children and although it was small they managed to make it work as best they could and they tried to provide as best they could for their children because they were so attached to them it's like their whole lives just revolved around that children they were obsessed with them their small apartment had photos of them just everywhere the youngest child and only daughter tan Chandni was five years old and was attending kindergarten their three boys caught Peng who was 10 years old cooking who was 8 years old and Coxson who was 6 years old were all attending a band Amir primary school at 6:35 a.m. on the 6th of January so the day of the Mona's Quinn and Lee left for work like any normal day while their children was sleeping they earned a minivan so to make ends meet as their job they shuttle children to and from school with the minivan around 7:10 LeMay called the children to wake them up so that they could get ready for school but there was no answer so she called another two times and still no answer so she ended up calling a neighbor and was like can you please go and wake the children up or just try and knock at the door get them awake so that they can get ready for school and the neighbor did they went and they knocked but just like on the phone calls there was no response at 10 a.m. that morning Leanne Quinn got home from work and that is when Lee unfortunately discovered the horrific sight of her children who had been murdered in their bathroom of their apartment the bodies of the children were all fully clothed with pants and shirts on and they were piled on top of each other they had been hacked and slashed to death it was honestly a brutal crime scene and there was no less than 20 slashes on each of their bodies it did seem like [ __ ] bang had a struggle with the murderer his hand was clenched aware that long hair still stuck in his fist and his arm had been almost completely severed I actually couldn't find anything about the heads that they found in his hands so either they tested them and they didn't find anything and didn't find a DNA match or they didn't test them the apartment was spotless there was not a trace of blood in the apartment except in the kitchen sink nothing had been unturned there was no signs of forced entry either so it's almost as if nothing ever happened but then you go into the bathroom and there's this horrible scene of four murdered children so because there was no signs of forced entry police were convinced that this was someone close to the family because how else would they get in they also believe that it was a premeditated murder because it was immaculately cleaned not a drop of blood accepted that that was in the kitchen which considering how brutally they had been murdered slashed is pretty insane so obviously it had to be someone who knew them very well or was close to the family then it took the time either to clean up or they knew exactly what they were doing and I don't bring light to this situation at all because it is disgusting but I kind of think of it as like a Dexter situation that could have happened almost like they knew what they were doing they knew how not to make mess or they knew exactly how to clean it up they had thought this out there's no where they just went in there and then somehow magically made the entire place spotless no way they obviously knew what they were doing they had the products to do it and they did it however they did it they must have been pretty meticulous to completely erase any trace of themselves also the fact that these murders took place so soon after the parents had left clearly means this person knew when they could get in by and when they had to get out by I mean there was such a small timeframe in which they could have happened 6:35 a.m. the parents left and then 7:10 a.m. they called and there was no answer so obviously between this timeframe the medes had already occurred or the murders were like happening while these phone calls were being made that's such a short time frame this person knew that the parents weren't gonna be home and it seems like they knew that the children were gonna be alone not to mention the children Eva knew this person well enough to let them in or they had some other means of getting in and if they did have another way to get into their apartment without any signs of forced entry it just further proves that this was premeditated we may actually lost her keys to the apartment around the time of the murders so either she lost them and this person found them somehow or she lost them on purpose I don't know how else to put it but she didn't actually lose them this person managed to get them from her and the murder weapons were reportedly taken from the kitchen of the apartment which I mean if you're gonna premeditated murder why would you not bring your own weapons but a knife and a chopper were missing and they have never been recovered when I came to the investigations the Criminal Investigations Department of a CDI took over this case and investigated Lea Mayes brother actually mentioned to the media that this matter could be in relation to an illegal Tontine scheme that me and Quinn might have been engaged in and a taunting scheme is basically just like a scheme where a bunch of individuals put in a bunch of money or like money monetary assets into this pool and they can kind of they kind of get like shares from it over a period of time but whoever dies lost that is in this group of individuals gets to keep everything that was put into it but this is not up leading investigators anywhere there wasn't any leads on this it was just kind of he said it it was out there but there was no evidence to prove it there was no anything really after that and not to mention it wouldn't really make sense because why would you kill the children it just doesn't make any sense they have they're not in the Tontine scheme they probably didn't even know that their parents were doing it if their parents were doing it it just doesn't make any sense at all to kill the children the tans also told the media that they had no idea who would do this they had no enemies and they can't think of anyone that they could have upset or offended especially to the point of having their children murdered two weeks later that were no new leads into this case and the tans received a letter this was a Chinese New Year letter written in Mandarin and it was signed off by the murderer now this son has said two things that would indicate this is someone that the tans know very well as already suspected so firstly it referred to both of them by their nicknames and the second thing it said was that now you can have no more offspring because Lee actually had a fertility operation or a sterilization surgery of following the birth of their daughter and honestly this isn't something that you go around just telling everyone this has to have been someone they know someone who knew them well enough that they felt they could confide in this person about this surgery the note actually didn't bring any new laser and just kind of solidified the fact that they were looking for someone that the family knew very well the CID questioned over a hundred spec's and the most unfortunate part of this I would say is there is a woman one of their neighbors who was like 65 or something I think and she just always sits in the corridor of the apartments watching the children play and she would have seen on any normal day who would have gone in and out of the apartment but on that specific day she was not there she was inside her in apartment of washing her hair so the one day she's not there this happens there were a few suspects that were big enough to make headlines in Singapore but none of them resulted in anything a few of them were hoaxes there was one guy who told the CID that there was a bloodied couple seen leaving the apartment building but as I said this turned out to be a hoax there was one good leader from a taxi driver he was from Tao payer I believe it's pronounced and he told this the idea that he picked up a man in his 20s with a lodge who was really sketchy looking the whole left side of him and had like blood like blood droplets all over it and he had a knife which he noticed because when he got out of the car the knife banged against the door he picked up the men at about 8:00 a.m. on block 96 on caling baru Road I can't pronounce anything and he dropped him off at love industry and the place that he picked him up from I should mention was right near the murder scene the authorities obviously told the parents and they seemed to know immediately who this guy was and they referred to him by uncle Quinn said that this man was their neighbor and he saw them pretty much every single day because he would come in to use their phone they ended up putting this guy uncle in a lineup and the taxi driver picked him up straightaway they immediately afterwards detained him but then two weeks later they released him because of a lack of evidence this is the pot that I was talking about that is so incredibly frustrating because it's like so obvious that it is this guy he was picked out of a lineup they knew exactly who he was he comes over every day so if the children are gonna answer the door for him it's just like ah like it's so obvious that it was him and I just can't believe that he was let out and not to mention the time that he was detained two weeks so after that two weeks when he was let out that's when the tan family received that Chinese New Year letter so it like lines up perfectly for him to get out send them this letter but lack of evidence and then him and his system moved away and never been heard from since there was a theory that maybe Lee was having an affair with uncle and that is why he knew all of these things like when they would be gone when they would be getting back and the fact that she wasn't faddle because if you are sleeping with someone that is probably something she would mention and that she had this fertility surgery of sterilization surgery sorry it would also make sense considering he is their neighbor that he would have known that the woman that normally sits in the corridor was not there because I mean what a coincidence that the one day she's not there the murders occur I think that is very sketchy and not just a coincidence so maybe Lee decided that it wasn't risking her marriage over this affair and so she ended things and then uncle lashed out and decided to kill all four of the children which is completely excessive but also a definite possibility from what I've read Quentin Lee we're just like completely in love and just for each other you know like fought for each other and it doesn't really make sense that she was having an affair but I guess you never know On January 7 the children were buried side by side with their favorite books and their favorite toys which not all of them because Lee Ann Quinn did save a few in memory of their children and it was just devastating Lee hard for them Lee actually had trouble staying conscious because she was that upset at the funeral both parents stopped working dropping children off in their minivan because it would just be too hard for them it would be like a constant reminder seeing these happy children going to school and remembering that yours were not there anymore so I completely understand why they stopped although they did live in the same apartment and they both ended up after they quit went and worked for a plastic machine and while this case is so incredibly sad and so incredibly heartbreaking it does have kind of a happy ending so Lee was looking into this room vas sterilization surgery which kind of seemed far-fetched right because I've never heard of that but by some miracle WA and on December 30th 1983 and they conceived a beautiful little baby boy and that is it that is the end of this case I would love to know what you guys think I definitely 100 without a doubt in my mind think that this uncle guy was guilty and it just frustrates me to no end that we don't know the motive and the fact that he moved away and that was it he's fine living his life after he probably murdered four innocent children but that's the shitty thing about these stories so I really hope you guys enjoyed if you did please make sure to give this video a thumbs up if you do want to see more on Sol mysteries videos and subscribe to my channel so
