The 2010 murder-for-hire plot, by Jennifer Pan, has been dissected for years.

The double life behind it has received much less attention.

By her early twenties, Jennifer was waking up each morning and leaving home for a university she did not attend. She forged transcripts, acceptance letters, and report cards while carefully maintaining different versions of herself for different audiences.

This episode examines the years before the crime: the expectations she grew up with, the deception that expanded over time, and the effort required to keep an entire life from unraveling.

Because the most enduring question in Jennifer Pan’s story may not be how it ended — but how it continued for so long.

In 2007, Felicia Teo disappeared after meeting friends in Singapore. For years, her case remained unresolved in a country widely seen as one of the safest in the world.

This episode of Missing Context examines how assumptions about safety, independence, and what was considered “normal” behavior for a 19 year old shaped the response to Felicia’s disappearance. It explores how those perceptions influenced the urgency of the investigation, the decisions made in the early days of the case, and the questions that remained unanswered for years.

In 2023, ten-year-old Sara Sharif was found dead in her family home in England after years of reported concerns about her wellbeing.

This episode of Missing Context examines the systemic failures surrounding Sara’s case and the warning signs that were repeatedly missed. It explores how reports, interventions, and opportunities to recognize the full extent of the abuse never came together in time to save her.

At the center of the story is a child who should have been protected long before it was too late.
