Summary

What a Creep “John List”
Season 17, Episode 8
Creepy Westfield, NJ



The sleepy New Jersey town of Westfield has been overrun with tourists eager to check out the “real” homes featured in the Netflix series The Watcher, which tells the true story of the Broaddus family, who a stranger sent creepy letters for years. The series takes many liberties with the details of what happened to the family and what happened in Westfield in the past.

The murderer John List, a family annihilator who spent over 17 years on the run from justice, is truly the weirdest and most disturbing crime story from the area and the subject of this episode.
