The Rogue Backpacker: Chaos and Crime in Casey City

from Matter of Fact: A play on "matter" (physics) and "facts" (news). · host Larry White

Hung Tsai-wei, a Taiwanese backpacker in Casey City, Australia, escalated from personal disputes into a series of violent crimes after being asked to vacate her rental property. Her criminal acts included defrauding a fellow traveler, assaulting housemates with boiling water and eggs, ramming a garage with her car, and eventually committing arson by setting fire to roommates' vehicles and the residence. Now facing serious felony charges in Australia that could result in up to ten years in prison, Hung was also revealed to be a wanted fugitive in Taiwan for significant unpaid bank debts.
