the minute i heard the 15 yr old boy had to go thru 30 hours of interrogation , i knew something was wrong . then finding out he had to spend half his life in jail for something he never did is horrifying. it is unfair for him and the victim for not getting the right justice.

The fact that he was also disadvantaged financially made it seem even more sus.

He didn't have the status, the authority or the money, and it was him against the cops. Also, the mentions of how he retold things... it was just... such a weird way to "confess"...

Plus, he claims he left sperm behind & they didn’t even bother to look to find any trace??? Also, wouldn’t someone see him buying a padlock? And such a strict school would have the store open during class time?? And he didn’t plan this but was so strong to murder her immediately? Finally, his behavior when his mom went to see him makes no sense for a guilty person. I’m glad he spoke up…now back to seeing the rest of the story 👋🏾

Winter in Northern China, that too January which was probably the coldest even among the winter months and her clothes were off, only a bra covering her. Her body was still decomposing but at a slower rate, like if a body was kept in a freezer. Even then, there was probably some smell but then it's a restroom, that also moonlighted as a secret garbage bin, the smell probably didn't seem out of place. Plus, the door was padlocked.

Can't even begin to imagine how Gao's parents must be feeling. Imagine thinking you found justice for your child for 15 years, then finding out lives of innocent children were ruined and your child's murderer is still out there, free

Another important thing to notice - Gao screamed "what are you doing". If someone she didn't know had grabbed her, her first instinct would be to scream "who are you", not "what are you doing". So it was definitely someone she knew or trusted. She only screamed after she was in the third floor, so she came there voluntarily. But why would she follow a classmate's order to come to the third floor when her class was in the second floor ? This would only happen if it was a teacher asking her to follow him to third floor.

As a lawyer, this is why Blackstone's ratio, "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer", is essential. Acquitting the guilty is horrible, but only one fault lies on the law in this case - justice is not served. But if an innocent is wrongfully convicted, there are two faults on the law - justice is *still* not served, and another innocent's life is ruined. No matter how much compensation you get, there's just no restitution for lost time.

I lean more to the homeroom teacher, because logically where else would Gao go to wait out the assembly. She would go to her classroom. The teacher is there waiting for the assembly to end, too. He could have lured her to the bathroom by asking to help with a chore of cleaning something. But the boys are so suspicious for lying on Zheng like that. Why are they so involved in creating a story like this that frames another boy. And why lie on Zheng, a class president, of all people and not some outer troublesome kid. I want to know how they are involved. They are covering their own crime or are they covering the crime of someone they are scared of.

Just for context, boarding schools in China are mostly public schools. Boarding schools is really common because schools used to be far from some families (still a thing in rural areas though) and parents wouldn’t have time to take them back home and then back to school the next day. A lot of parents only had time to pickup their children for the weekend due to work. Some don’t even have time to take them home during the weekend because if they did, their children would be alone most of the day. At school, there were at least teachers taking care of them. It’s a very different concept from what we in the west think of as boarding schools. Of course fancy ones exist, but they are not the majority. You also still pay money for public schools.

With all of this in mind, Zhang and Wang were declared innocent with Zhang being released and Wang (who already served his sentence) having his record cleared. Gao's family agreed with the verdict and acknowledged that Zhang was innocent. On January 26, 2021, Zhang was rewarded with 3.32 million yuan in compensation. On June 23, 2022, 12 officials were all held accountable and punished for this case with 8 being forensic investigators/police and the other 4 being judges. Zhang changed his name from Zhang Zhichao to Zhang Chao and moved to Jiangsu Province where he once worked as a waiter in a restaurant, worked on construction sites, and then returned to work in the catering industry. The real killer of Gao Ting remains unknown to this day.

Stephanie is the best story teller.

*I am up to 20 Reasons/clues WHY IT HAS TO BE THE HOMEROOM TEACHER* based on -the motives. The means. The change in behavior. The proximity and lies or statements that contradict eachother. 1.He didn’t report her missing 2.He knew about the letter which is not normal 4. He said she ripped up the letter but it’s found whole and he knows if they find it he needs to mention she got it because it’s not a 15 year olds writing style so he is pointing the finger. 5. Teacher would be more comfortable committing a crime in the school due to authority and being able to tell students “don’t use the bathroom” 6. He turned off his phone that day so he can’t prove he even went to a girlfriend’s house traveling over 4 hours when he could have been in that bathroom . 7. He left early and was missing from 5 pm ALLLL the way past to 7 am the next day when he misses the morning routine. 8. He told the police that she likely ran away. 9. The letter seems to be written by an adult. Not a 15 year old. It’s very deep and mentions offering the world to her using analogies which is something an older stalker type would do. 10. She’s in his homeroom where he can fixate on her and the class flower and his “girlfriend” is conviently TWO HOURS away which seems intentional because sick people want to live alone to obsess over their sick desires. 11. He offers up that he has a girlfriend almost as a “see I wouldn’t touch the girl I have a girlfriend 12. The student said “for the sake of the teacher” 13. He has the forethought to plan where and when and who and wants to feel secluded while doing it and doesn’t have to ask his parents for money so he could have purchased the lock and grab garbage bags while planning the crime. 14. He paints and inaccurate picture of her days before she was killed to throw off the scent. 15. He is the only person other than other teachers who could command her to help him or order her to come with him to the bathroom. 16. THE FLASHLIGHT! 17. If he was this sick he could revisit the crime and look at her for 33 days. 18. Erectile dysfunction. My dad is a urologist who specializes in it and it’s aa much much more common with someone the homeroom teachers age than a 15 year old boy. 19. I believe the plastic bag with her underwear and the poem in the toilet he meant to retrieve and keep we a trophy. But he knew not to go back in there as she hadn’t been found yet. 20. He knows the teachers rounds and janitors schedules so he could pick the perfect time to commit the crime and feel not as rare.

I want to also add; the kid who called Gao grass-grass used a tactic a lot of people who are guilty use. He made it seem like something was going on in the previous days that could potentially lead to a disappearance. To use a nickname like that, they may have been close and would know that she's not the type to do that. Everybody else seemed to know she wouldn't just runaway. He was also in her homeroom class. The teacher was telling students to say she ran away. I think he coerced that kid into telling people that he saw her acting strange too. Every point you made is extremely important to take into account. He is literally the ONLY one capable of these things. I think the point that also struck for me was not answering the phone and traveling 2 hours away during a work week. Aint no way, not at a Chinese boarding school. I'm from Texas it still baffled me. I never get scared when I listen to these stories, but tonight I had to turn a light on because I felt a presence.

MAYBE even so close that he would write her poetry? The poem seems “heartfelt” in there sense that they are being quite grand and dramatic with their feelings; what if he wrote it to her, realized she didn’t feel the same way at all, and got very, very angry?

How disrespectful that they laughed and said, sorry for putting you in prison all of this time. I was thinking, is this a joke to you?

How is it legal that police are allowed to use torture against people, nonetheless a CHILD to get the answers they want. That is just beyond disgusting and disturbing on so many levels, and more people should be talking about this. It doesn't help that the kid had no parents in the room, a lawyer, an attorney NOTHING. I bet if he wanted to call his parents, they wouldn't let him and beat him for asking as well. Absolutely vile behavior that should be prevented to the best of our ability in the future.

It was the victim's family. They pressured the police, the higher up pressured them to quickly finish the case, they couldn't, so they went with that tactic. Action and consequences are complex, sometime the thing you think you do right would lead to the wrong result. The grief of the father turned into the very key for the evil to escape justice.

But physically watching Zeng (sorry, the subtitles are not clear on how to spell either names) panicking and not remembering his own home, it is heartbreaking. Watching a grown man being held by his mother while crying and be so scared, his entire young adult life was taken from him needlessly.

I truly love how Stephanie brings awareness to cases that aren't that well-known at all. watching her videos, I feel like I've learnt so much

I honestly don’t think I would have been able to survive, he’s extremely brave to have managed that, also his mother is an amazing woman to have dealt with the corrupt justice system and societal “shame” for all of these years. I hope the victims parents are still alive and can see justice happen for their daughter before they pass away. I’d hope the home room teachers hand writing and others, is immediately being checked for further clues. R.I.P. Gao Ting and R.I.P. the people Kenny & Zang were before they were derailed by corruption.

The teacher definitely seems suspicious, considering he would have full knowledge that Gao had permission to skip assembly that day, he *gave* her that permission. Seems like a premeditated crime considering the location and narrow timeframe, and the teacher would have the means.

exactly, also who else would have access to these restricted bathrooms and the equipment needed to destroy the original padlock and be able to quickly replace it with a new padlock……it’s definitely a teacher/staff member because all this information points to someone who had immense access to multiple areas in the school. Police are idiotic and didn’t even TRY.

I wonder how Gao's family is doing nowadays knowing that the actual killer of their daughter has been walking free for the past...almost twenty years now. Must've opened a supposedly closed wound and made it even worse knowing that the authority of the law convicted an innocent person into prison for half of their life just to close a case as quickly as they can.

This is absolutely horrible. Gao did not deserve to have something so awful and horrendous to happen to her. I’m happy Zhang was released but he lost so many years of his young life and to see him crying with his Mom made me tear up and the fact her killer/killers were never caught is insane. The police interrogated a child for THIRTY HOURS!?! That is unreal for anyone and to beat him and the other boy is unacceptable. Gao’s family will never have any sort of closure knowing the monster that killed and assaulted her in such a horrific way is out here living their lives. It’s just horrible all the way around.

8 minutes in and I’m gonna say right now this was a teacher, and the school helped cover this up.

Zhang Zhichao was born on May 29, 1989. After his parents were laid off from a local commercial building, they started a tissue processing business in their own home which netted the family a low income. Zhang had just entered the high school that year with Gao and with average grades. At a parent-teacher meeting, Zhang's mother heard people talking about the at the time still missing Gao and ended up asking her son about it to which he said that he didn't even know she was missing or knew her personally. Zhang based on Wang's testimony was brought in for questioning on February 12. As for the second boy, he was identified as Wang Guangchao and arrested at his home. Zhang was interrogated for 30 hours straight and on February 13 confessed to raping and murdering Gao Ting. As for Wang, he claimed that he met Zhang and agreed to guard the door for him and prevent others from entering. Wang was charged with concealing a crime and released on bail while Zhang remained imprisoned. As you may have guessed from the 30-hour interrogation Zhang's confession was less than voluntary. He had scars all over his body and couldn't stand up due to bruised knees. One of the things the police did was take off Zhang's shoes and then ask him what colour Gao's clothing is. Every time he said the wrong colour they would slap him across the face with his shoes repeatably until he blindly guessed the correct clothing colour. Wang too was tortured into providing testimony implicating Zhang. According to Zhang's confession (of which he was made to revise several times) on the morning of January 10, he woke up early before the sun had risen and read a copy of "Horror Story" that he had purchased discreetly in the school's boiler room. Because of the content of the story, he ended up wanting to make the fiction a reality and find somebody to have sex with which is where he met Gao alone and looking out a window. Zhang then approached her and held a pencil sharpener to her neck and dragged her into the men's bathroom and held her to the ground. When Gao started screaming for help he wrapped her scarf around her neck and began raping her and violating her vaginal area. When he found that Gao had died he quickly kicked down a stall door and hid her in the corner of one away from immediate view and any windows. Afterwards, that is where he claims to have met Wang a friend of his and confessed to him that he accidentally killed a person and begged him to help hide which he agreed to do and stood guard outside the bathroom while Zhang hurriedly headed to a different building on campus and purchased a padlock not compatible with the staff's keys and used it to replace the current lock to keep anyone from discovering Gao's body. Once finished the two quickly resumed their morning studies as if nothing had happened. After evening studies Zhang bought that white bag from a roommate Li Baozhuang (pseudonym) and on January 11 while class was in session snuck back into the bathroom using his keys to open the new lock and while in private violated Gao's corpse anally and with the mop handle before cutting her with a pencil sharpener claiming that he was inspired by "The Vampire" addition to the "Horror Story" series. Whenever the police found a detail of the confession not matching the evidence (such as the origin of the white bag) or autopsy results Zhang was made to revise his confession. Forensic technicians and the coroner were also present during the autopsy to correct him when he makes mistakes or even revise their own reports. When the prosecutor first met with him he confessed to being tortured by the police and asked for him to investigate and extract biological or DNA evidence. In response, the police brought him out back and slapped him repeatably and electrocuted him with an electric baton. This prosecutor who knew he had been tortured ended up being the same one prosecuting his case at trial.

I think with this key evidence I piece together along with other questionable clues and evidence, it's easy to differentiate who the real culprit is.

it’s weird that he knew about the letter at all, the info on the love letter was not available to the public. i always avoid speculating but the homeroom teacher was extremely suspicious. she went straight to see him the morning she died.

Exactly, I was searching for this exact comment!!!! The teacher must have done something

That teacher is definitely suspicious to me. What teacher randomly leaves with work with 4 hours to go and without telling anyone and gets away with it

Finger prints? DNA? Hand writing?

I don't understand how her body was not smelling because of decomposition after 33 days?

@Cora-k64

Maybe cuz of the cold temperatures?

Temperature is one of the most crucial variables affecting the decomposition process, significantly increasing or decreasing the rate at which decomposition occurs. During the winter, temperature drops below 32 °F (0 °C; i.e., freezing) in the northern part of China. Add to that the fact that prevailing winds bring cold and dry air from Central Asia into Northern China, and you have an environment that will significantly slow decomposition rates. Gao was murdered in January, and her body discovered in February. The below freezing temperatures, coupled with cold, dry air (and likely no heat being pumped into restricted parts of the school) led to an environment that would've slowed decomposition rate to nearly a standstill. Little to no decomposition means little to no smell. Frozen cadavers remain in good condition for a very long time - 140 year old bodies have been found in permafrost that have remained in very good condition.

33 days to find a body in a school? A finite area? Doesn't matter if the restrooms are "restricted" and locked. They don't check them at least once a day? Or, idk, check them at least once the day a student has gone missing?

Exactly?! Especially an area that is "restricted" should have been at the top of the checklist

It just hurts so much that i started to tear up, this poor little innocent boy. I feel bad for him for having to go through that and didnt get to enjoy his childhood for being locked up in jail for something he didnt even committed on doing

I have been binge watching for the past two days…. The day she tells a story keeps you intrigued and scares TS out of you! My goodness this girl got skillz!!!!

Social worker here. The entire first hour the only thought I had was that it was an adult staff member in the school. Someone who felt they had power in the environment, but not the power to get what they want. I was so confused about the student's arrest until the end... Someone please investigate that teacher. 😨

I'm not a social worker, but even I was thinking it had to be an adult staff member.

This reminds me of a case happened almost a decade ago, a girl was killed in broad daylight in a busy railway station no one happens to see the killer, but after few hours they framed a poor guy saying he was her stalker and after few days he was caught.Everyone was so raged and blaming the guy including the influencers at the time but he mysteriously died in the prison officials claim it as suicide ,but it triggered a lot of people ,Still the case is open .

Until the home room teacher is behind the bars or completely ruled out, I cannot sleep in peace. At the back of my mind, I’ll always think of this hideous crime 😢

Heartbreaking for Zhan and Kenny and their families 😢 Also why the victim's wealthy family is not pursuing for justice for their murdered daughter now

OMG. This is so heartbreaking. This is definitely powertripping. The police were paid because they know they can bully Zhang because he is poor. 😢 You don't want this to happen to any of your loved ones. This should have a major media attention. He wasted half of his life. Those witnesses turned the suspects are the ones walking free in this world and this is why the world is so fucked. You will be surprised that this will have domino effect.

From the moment at the very beginning when you mentioned the teacher, I suspected it was him. I was shocked when that boy was arrested and wondered if he was being threatened or something to take the fall for it so I was relieved to hear that he was eventually released. I think her teacher wrote the letter because it doesn't sound like something a teen would write; it sounds like an adult who thought that he was an amazing poet. I also think that he was the only one who really knew where to find Gao that morning and that she wouldn't be at the assembly. I think that he wanted to assault her but he couldn't and he hadn't meant to kill her but when he did, he went into survival mode to cover things up. All of the circumstantial evidence really points to him and while teens can commit heinous crimes, something about this one strikes me as the work of an older predator. I almost wonder if he has committed other assaults before and got away with it. I hope that they find out who did it eventually and justice is served swiftly and brutally.

Right - this doesn’t really seem like a first offense. People don’t usually escalate immediately to murder. I’m hoping if he has any other living victims they’ll feel compelled to come forward but I don’t think it’s very likely. :(

the second you said Gao had an excuse note from her teacher to not attend the assembly, I was expecting him to be a suspect. I was a little shocked at how long it took for him to be mentioned again in this video. 😅

it's so disgusting that she never got justice. And its equally disgusting the injustice he went through ... horrible for everyone, whilst murders walked free.

This case is so heartbreaking 💔. I feel so bad for Zang and his family. A wrongful conviction changes the course of so many people’s lives and futures…it destroys the wrongfully convicted person’s livelyhood. And what a slap in the face when the court said “sorry about that”. It’s disgraceful. I love your channel and the support you give to the victims in these cases. You are one of a kind!! Happy New Years!!❤❤❤❤❤

this is why whenever i watch a true crime documentary i have to keep reminding myself that everything that are presented is what the authority had investigated, their side of the story. we have seen a lot of parent being shame for believing in their children bcs often time, we unknowingly are already convinced by the authority or we naturally doesnt like the concept of a parent defending their "guilty" children. also one thing i learnt from this case is evidence > confession.
