Initial Case
Qian Xun Xue was abandoned near the base of an escalator at Melbourne's Southern Cross railway station on Saturday 15 September 2007 by her father, Nai Yin Xue, who boarded a flight to Los Angeles later that day. Originally unable to ascertain her real name, police in Melbourne nicknamed the child Pumpkin due to the Pumpkin Patch brand clothing she was wearing at the time. "Pumpkin" was soon placed in emergency foster care on 16 September.
On Monday, 17 September, police learned the identities of the girl and her father, who had flown from Auckland two days prior to the abandonment. The girl's 27-year-old mother, Anan (Annie) Liu, remained missing until her body was found on Wednesday 19 September in the boot (trunk) of Xue's car at their family home in the Auckland suburb of Mount Roskill.

“Television is an excellent system when one has nothing to lose, as is the case with a nomadic and rootless country like the United States, but in Europe the affect of television is that of a bulldozer which reduces culture to the lowest possible denominator.”
