On December 7, 1971, police were called to the List Family Mansion in Westfield, New Jersey.

Neighbors had seen the home's lights, which had been on day and night, slowly blinking out,

and no one had seen anything or anyone for almost a month.

Officers made their way into the mansion through an

unlocked window that led to the basement. Something horrific was waiting for them inside. The bodies

of 84-year-old Alma, 46-year-old Helen, 16-year-old Patricia, 15-year-old John Frederick, and 13-year-old

Frederick were all found with gunshot wounds.

But one member of the family was missing. Where was John List? Police soon found that no one

had seen John since early November, and he wouldn't turn up any time soon. Eighteen years, to be

exact. Discret to be exact.

Discretion is advised.
