Summary
Arthur Gary Bishop looked like someone you could trust. He was a straight-A student, an Eagle Scout, a missionary, and a respected member of his church community. But under all that was someone no one saw coming, and far too many people never questioned.
This episode tracks how Bishop used different names, different jobs, and his polished public image to hide decades of horrific crimes. He blended in with the people who were supposed to protect children, all while preying on the ones who trusted him most.
From his early days as a well-liked accountant to the unraveling of multiple identities, we follow the timeline that led to his capture, and the five young lives taken far too soon. This is not just a story about one man. It’s a story about all the systems and assumptions that let him get away with it, again and again.

| 1:03.0 | Why is it that some of the worst people seem to come wrapped in the most respectable packing? The clean-cut guy who smiles too much, the one who always volunteers, the one you'd trust to watch your kids. |
| 1:11.6 | Arthur Gary Bishop was one of those people. |
| 1:14.9 | Born in Salt Lake City in 1951, he looked like the poster child for doing everything right. |

| 1:45.3 | dealership run by fellow Mormons. On paper, he had it all, education, community, a decent |
| 1:51.7 | job, and people who trusted him. But Arthur Gary Bishop was hiding something, and it wasn't |
| 1:57.9 | small. There was something deeply wrong with him, and no amount of church-going, |
| 2:03.4 | scout badges, or straight-A report cards could cover it up forever. The cracks started showing at |
