LM: Um, how much did they wire him, do you know? Did he ever tell you?

HM: Um, like 10, 20 thousand, ‘cause the tuition is very expensive ‘cause they’re foreign exchange students, they’re F1’s.

LM: How often would they send 10 or 20 thousand?

HM: Um, I don’t know, I mean I don’t, like, if it’s the same period of time.

P. 20-24 (Background information of Eric Liu and his family. The only “problem” Eric’s family ever had was the US Custom seizure, where an unknown company forged Eric’s father’s signature and stole his seal to import counterfeit jeans from Vietnam to the U.S. From other witness’ statements, some gang members are involved in the clothing/manufacturing business. It is believed that the gang members may have been involved in the US Custom seizure incident).

o “I proceeded to ask the father, Chen Liu, if he was having any type of problems in Taiwan and the father stated, ‘No,’ The father stated that he was having no problems in Taiwan, and as a matter of fact, he was spending most of his time in Cambodia attending to the family business. I asked if there were any problems in Cambodia with the business or anything else and he stated, ‘No.’ I asked him if there were any prior attempts at extortion or any current extortion occurring and he stated, ‘No.’ He did not receive any telephone calls or contacts by others demanding for money. He immediately denied any connection with any organized crime figures in Taiwan or Cambodia,” (Supplemental Report p. 1 with handwritten bates stamp 96).

o “Chen Liu then told me that he is in the clothing business and has a factory in Cambodia which employees approximately 400 people. Their factory makes approximately 400,000 pairs of jeans per year and it costs him approximately $6 per pants to manufacture. His company, Double Win, manufactures blue jeans and the brand of the jeans is “Forever.” His company also manufactures jeans for such companies as ‘Place’ and ‘Union Bay,’ ” (Supplemental Report p. 1 with handwritten bates stamp 96).

o “The company does not advertise here in the United States. Chen Liu stated that he gave Eric some jeans to sell here in the United States in order for him to make some ‘spending’ money. …The family stated that Eric often goes to the local swap meets or to downtown in order to sell the jeans. The sales occur mostly on a one-on-one basis.

I asked Chen Liu if he considers himself wealthy and he stated, ‘No.’ …I spoke to Chen Liu and asked him about a Custom’s seizure that had occurred related to his business. Chen Liu told me that he was aware that a couple shipments of jeans had been seized by the US Customs, however, it is unrelated to him.

Chen Liu stated that the jeans seized were made in Vietnam, by an unknown company. He stated the suspects in that case had made counterfeit jeans and were trying to pass them off as being original. The suspects used his company’s seals and logos and attempted to import them into the US. They forged his company’s seal and also forged his signature on the shipping documents. The signature on the Custom’s paperwork is not his.

Chen Liu stated that he is looking into the matter himself and believes that this should not have anything to do with Eric’s death. I asked him who would be held responsible for the loss and seizure of the jeans, and he stated that it wasn’t his problem. It was not his loss, so he is not concerned. He stated that the suspects attempted to forge his signature and use his company’s name to illegally import items into the United States, and they failed. He stated that the suspects should not be angry at him, because he did not do anything to them. It wasn’t like he called the police on the suspects. He does not know who the suspects are, but believes that it is probably someone that he knows or someone that he has done business with. He stated that the suspects took a gamble and failed. That should be it,” (Supplemental Report p. 2 with handwritten bates stamp 97).

“During a visit Detective Cain and I made at Ling Liu’s residence on January 26, Ling Liu had mentioned to us about the fact that she was missing some property. I asked Ling Liu to clarify for me reference the theft that had occurred prior to her leaving for Taiwan and she agreed. Ling Liu stated that around November of 1999, she begun to notice miscellaneous cash was missing from the residence. She had some money that was in her dresser and it was missing. It was approximately $100 in cash. She questioned her brother about the missing money, however, Eric denied taking any money. During this time, Ling Liu stated that Helen Mo had been visiting their house virtually every day.

On an unknown Saturday in November, Eric was also missing $300 in cash. He had worked at the swap meet that day and made $300. After Helen left for the day, Eric discovered that the $300 was missing. Eric mentioned this to Ling Liu and was wondering if she had taken the money. Ling Liu stated, ‘No.’ … Approximately four days before Ling Liu left for Taiwan, she noticed that some of her jewelry was missing. A plain gold chain necklace and a gold chain necklace with a heart shaped pendant with a blue stone inside had been removed. The two necklaces were missing along with two jade bracelets. The jewelry was placed in the dresser in her bedroom. Also missing was a one $1,000 bill from Taiwan in Taiwan currency. …They formed the opinion that Helen Mo had possibly removed the items and was responsible for the thefts. …On December 31, 1999, or January 1, 2000, Ling Liu was at home. She was upstairs when her brother answered a ring at the door and went outside. Eric came back several minutes later and returned three of the jewelry pieces to Ling Liu. The only jewelry that was still outstanding was the little chain necklace with the heart shaped pendant. It had been given to Ling Liu by her grandmother. Eric told Ling Liu that Helen had returned the jewelry pieces, however, the necklace with the pendant was still missing. Ling Liu did not actually see Helen return the jewelry pieces to Eric, however, this is what Eric told her. …,” (Supplemental Report p. 3-5 with handwritten bates stamp 98-100).
