Summary

In 1971, John List murdered his entire family. Beforehand, he took a number of measured steps to help ensure that they would not be discovered too quickly. This allowed him to flee and assume a new identity. List spent the next 18 years living under this new identity and even remarried. It took the help of the America's Most Wanted television show to finally bring him to justice.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss family annihilator John List. The details of what List did to his family are difficult to comprehend. But, the reasons he gave for the massacre are equally tough to believe. John List thought he was smarter than everyone else and he always wanted to portray the air of a wealthy man. But, when he couldn't keep that going, he decided to murder his entire family to keep them from having to go through the pending financial hardship.
