Starting in his early years, Shiue was reportedly abusive toward his younger siblings. He moved to Minnesota with his mother and his two brothers, to join his father, (who was a professor at the University of Minnesota,) when he was eight years old. Shiue was quickly arrested and during the subsequent trial, he somehow managed to smuggle a knife into the court and slit Mary’s face while she was testifying against him. Ming Sen Shiue was born on October 15th, 1950, in Taiwan. Miraculously, one day when Shiue was at work, Mary and Elizabeth managed to escape and call the police.
He then took Mary and Elizabeth to his house where he held them captive for two months where he continually raped Mary. Shieu then drove to a wildlife refuge where he took the young boy out of the trunk and beat him to death with a metal rod. A 6-year-old boy, Jason Wilkman, was standing at the side of the road watching them and sadly, Shieu noticed him and called him over to the car where he threw him into the trunk. After driving off, he pulled over to the side of the road because Mary and Elizabeth were making so much noise in the trunk. He tied them both up and dragged them into the trunk of Mary’s car. He kidnapped her and her 8-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, while they left a beauty salon in Rosedale. On 16 May, 1980, Shiue managed to track Mary down. This crush developed into an obsession which carried on after he left the school. He attended Alexander Ramsey High School in Roseville and while attending this school, he developed a crush on his algebra teacher, Mary Stauffer. Ming Sen Shiue was born in Taiwan but his family immigrated to Minnesota when he was a young boy.
