Since the killer of Yingying Zhang was sentenced to life in prison, information regarding the victim’s remains has become known to the family and public.
At a press conference Wednesday (Aug. 7) morning, information was revealed by Steven Beckett, the family’s attorney, that Brendt Christensen, who was convicted of Zhang’s kidnapping and murder, placed the remains in three separate garbage bags and disposed of them in a dumpster outside his apartment building.
Christensen told the information to his defense attorneys, who, in turn, told the information to prosecutors and law enforcement agencies under an immunity agreement, thus the information could not be used in his trial.
