Hello, NJ.com sports podcast listeners. This is Steve Politi, host of the Rutgers Rant.

I'm dropping in to tell you about a new NJ.com podcast I think you're going to love.

It's called Father Wants Us Dead, and it's the gripping story of John List, the mild-manor accountant who murdered his wife, mother, and three children.

This podcast not only retells this notorious case in amazing fashion,

but it uncovers new details about the 18-year quest to bring list to justice.

Find it on father wants us dead.com.

When I walked in,

I saw the bodies by the fireplaces in the ballroom.

I believe there were drag marks, blood drag marks from each of them to the point where they were left.

... In December 1971, in a mansion on a hill, in a wealthy New Jersey suburb where nothing bad is ever supposed to happen, police discovered five bodies.

A mother and her three children lined up on sleeping bags

in the mansion's ballroom. The grandmother and her apartment upstairs. The mass murder of an

innocent family 50 years ago forever shook this quiet town. It also sparked one of

the strangest and most frustrating manhunts our country has ever seen, one that would carry on

nearly two decades. The man they were chasing after, The father. John Amel List.

John List was a seemingly average accountant and Sunday school teacher.

But he was also plotting a ruthless, unimaginable crime.

He believed the only way to save his family from damnation

was to slaughter them all.

Oh my God.

Every man I know would die for our kids.

Wow.
