In the glow of Silicon Valley success, Tony and Ivy appeared to embody the immigrant dream: both elite engineers from China, graduates of top universities including UC San Diego, earning high six figures at Google, and owners of a $2 million San Francisco home near campus. But beneath this facade, Tony harbored an obsession with his high school ex-girlfriend Jiang, leading to infidelity documented in a shared Google Doc—and ultimately, Ivy's brutal death at his hands.

Tony's Divided Loyalties and Jiang's Role

Tony and Jiang dated on-and-off from high school in Chengdu through university in China, but she repeatedly broke things off amid his fixation. After moving to the US—Tony and Ivy to California, Jiang to Carnegie Mellon then tech jobs at Amazon subsidiaries like Wamo—she dated a wealthier fiance whose arrest prompted her outreach to Tony via the Google Doc in October 2023. There, they reminisced; Tony proposed marriage and a house in SF, which she rejected, citing his marriage to Ivy as the barrier. Around their November wedding anniversary—coinciding suspiciously with Jiang's birthday—she visited for a concert, meeting Tony twice: once at Google's cafeteria (risking Ivy spotting them, as she worked there too) and again when he drove her to the airport. Airport witnesses described them lingering intimately; Jiang later claimed discomfort from a cheek kiss but didn't v

Show Notes

A cat feeder in California, meant to monitor Ivy and Tony’s two pet cats unintentionally captures the following events on camera.

12:21 am, Ivy walks into the kitchen and starts cleaning up. By 1:04 am, Ivy turns off the lights and heads to bed.

4:43 am and suddenly movement is detected. Tony, her husband, comes into frame with his shirt splattered in a deep red substance. He wanders out of frame only to return wielding a circular hand saw - the electric ones with a rotating blade and serrated edges made to cut two by fours.

He’s tense. Rigid. The electric saw isn’t on but he has it pressed against his throat. The serrated blade is frozen. His finger hovers over the power button. All he needs to do is just. press. down.

He pulls the saw away from his neck and walks out of frame again.

The next time he’s caught on the pet feeder, one of his arms is completely swollen, drenched in blood.

But Tony isn’t injured. So where is all this blood coming from? What has he been doing all night?

And what is he going to do when he realizes the pet feeder is recording his every move?
