Ming Sen Shiue (; born October 15, 1950) is a Taiwanese-American murderer, kidnapper, and rapist convicted of the murder of six-year-old Jason Wilkman, the kidnap of Mary Stauffer and her daughter Elizabeth, and multiple counts of rape of Mary Stauffer. Early life Ming Sen Shiue was born on October 15, 1950, in Taiwan. When he was eight years old, he moved to Minnesota with his mother and two siblings. His father, who died three years later, was a professor at the University of Minnesota. Shiue was described as violent towards his younger siblings, often beating them during both adolescence and adulthood. In his teen years, Shiue was reportedly engaged in criminal activity as a juvenile such as starting fires in apartments of three strangers and throwing rocks at vehicles. For his role in the arsons, he was ordered to participate in psychotherapy at the age of 14. According to his mother's testimony, Shiue often lied but was persistent about being right, was uncontrollable as a child, and took no responsibility for his physical behavior thus causing her to be fearful. She described him as someone having no "feelings, like a dog". From 1965 to 1966, Shiue attended Alexander Ramsey High School in Roseville, where he came to have a "crush" on his ninth-grade algebra teacher Mary Stauffer. He later confessed during proceedings that due to his "infatuation", Shiue began sexually fantasizing about the teacher. Shiue later wrote stories about his fantasies with fictional characters from movies and eventually about Stauffer, which included consensual sex, rape and gang rape. In later years, after he realized that he did not find complete satisfaction from his fantasies, Shiue decided to kidnap Stauffer. Kidnapping and murder In 1975, Shiue located what he erroneously believed to be Stauffer's residence in Duluth. He broke into the house with a firearm intending to kidnap the victim, who did not live in the residence. Her in-laws, who owned the house, were forced to the ground, tied up and threatened to be killed if they reported the crime. Because of this, the home invasion was not reported until the actual kidnapping of Stauffer took place five years later. As Shiue continued his search for Stauffer during the intervening period, Stauffer lived with family in the Philippines, where she and her husband worked as Christian missionaries. They returned to Minnesota in 1979. A year later, Shiue learned that Stauffer lived
