Wu Yinghong might have gotten away with his brutal crimes but it seemed like the universe had other plans for him.

In September of 1999, a couple of fisherman were fishing near the Shuangcui Damn in Xinshe, Taiwan, when they discovered a decomposed and swollen head lodged between 2 rocks. Further investigations over the next few days found more bones consisting of vertebrae, pelvis, left palm and left foot which were matched to the head, but despite numerous pleas and sketches sent to the media, no one came forward.

2 weeks later, a major event occurred that would reinvigorate interest in the case. On the 21st of September, 1999, a 7.3 magnitude earthquake devastated central Taiwan, leading to the deaths of thousands and the destruction of billions of infrastructure. However, amidst the chaos and the rubble, workers at Sun Moon lake discovered plastic bags containing the dismembered remains of 2 other victims. Given that the modus operandi were eerily similar to the earlier case, local police investigations into a possible connection, and finally found a proper lead.
