Widely circulated image of Xue and his daughter at Southern Cross station
The Xue family murder and abandonment case involves the murder by New Zealand man Nai Yin Xue (薛乃印, also known as Michael) of his wife Anan (Annie) Liu (劉安安), in Mt Roskill, Auckland, on 11 September 2007, and his subsequent abandonment of their three-year-old daughter, Qian Xun Xue (薛千寻 in Simplified Chinese) also known as Clare Xue and nicknamed "Pumpkin" by the police and media, at Southern Cross station in Melbourne, Australia.[2] Nai Yin then fled to the United States, settling undercover across the southern states,[3] before being captured by members of the ethnic Chinese community of Chamblee, Georgia and handed over to police. He was deported to New Zealand, and convicted of the murder of his wife in June 2009.[4] He refused to confess to the murder until a parole hearing in 2020, when he finally expressed remorse.[5]
The case attracted widespread media coverage in both Australia[6] and New Zealand. It also gained attention in the United States after being featured in an episode of the television show America's Most Wanted. It was also documented by the Casefile True Crime Podcast.[7]
