Haing Ngor’s life reads like a Greek tragedy — promise, loss, survival, and a final act no one can quite explain.

People who knew him describe a man split between warmth and arrogance, humanitarian impulses and anger.  Plus there was his untreated trauma.

LAPD claimed Ngor’s murder was a robbery gone wrong. But nearly every part of that narrative collapses under scrutiny.  So do the other narratives – a Khmer Rouge assassination; a murder linked to the timber mafia; the murky question of involvement by Prime Minister Hun Sen.

This episode recaps the “known unknowns” - the unanswered questions that shape the last years of Ngor’s life.

This is the last episode of season 2’s investigative arc.  From eliminating known suspects, we’ll pivot to advancing the investigation. 

Season 3 will be out in early 2026.
