together. It was Beth's idea to ignore the dispatcher's instructions to remain inside the house, because they were too scared of Shiue to stay. They knew he could be home any minute. Mother and daughter were immediately freed after seven weeks of imprisonment, and were overcome with joy to reunite with their family. Shiue was arrested at his business on the same day. He was taken to Ramsey County Adult Detention Center. While in jail, he offered $50,000 to another inmate, Richard Green, to kill Stauffer and her daughter to prevent them from testifying against him in court, and to help him escape from jail. Green communicated the information to the FBI. Trial and sentencing Shiue underwent two trials. The first trial took place in 1980 and concerned the abduction of Mary and Elizabeth Stauffer and the rape of Mary. Because Shiue had taken them over state lines, the crime became a federal case under the Federal Kidnapping Act. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison.

It took 62 stitches to close her facial wound. At the same time, Shiue promised to kill her and her daughter when he would be released from prison. Psychological evaluations of the defendant showed no signs of mental illness. When the second trial ended, Shiue was sentenced to 40 years for the murder charge, to be served concurrently with his previous thirty-year sentence.

On September 28, 2010, the Anoka Country District Judge Jenny Walker Jasper ruled that Shiue could be detained indefinitely as a dangerous sexual predator even if he is granted parole. He was also found to have a sexual psychopathic personality. Shiue, who had never sought
