Summary

On April 10, 2001, the quiet Scottsdale neighborhood of Mary and Robert Fisher erupted in chaos as an explosion leveled their home. Inside, authorities found the bodies of Mary Fisher and her two children, Brittney and Bobby, their throats cut and the house intentionally set ablaze. But one person was missing: Robert Fisher, the husband and father, who quickly became the prime suspect. In this episode of Mama Mystery, we recount the chilling details of the Fisher family murders, Robert’s controlling and volatile behavior, and the desperate manhunt that followed. From his suspected escape to the Arizona wilderness to his placement on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted List, Robert Fisher remains one of the most elusive fugitives in American history. Join us as we unravel the theories about his whereabouts and discuss how a seemingly perfect family life could end in such a devastating way. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:40.8	week, our schedule was just so busy. So I do want to touch on this for just a moment to let
0:47.2	you in on what our lives are like. We got a review last week that really just stuck with me.
0:54.5	It really bugged me because I took it personally.
0:59.6	Somebody who had originally left a five-star review, edited their review to three stars because we weren't consistent and they think that we are just trying to make the show big and that
1:12.5	we're too focused on going on tour, which that last part, we're not on any kind of tours yet.

1:41.8	You know how hard summers can be trying to keep your
1:44.9	kids entertained and, you know, watch them while you're working from home if you are working from
