Be it a coworker “going postal” or someone’s neighbor killing his whole family, mass murder conjures images of atrocity. John Emil List is no exception. List was a convicted multiple murderer and long-time fugitive. On November 9, 1971, he killed his wife, mother, and three children in their home in Westfield, New Jersey, and then disappeared. He had planned the murders so meticulously that almost a month passed before anyone noticed something was awry. List then became a fugitive from justice for nearly 18 years. He even assumed a new identity and remarried. List was finally apprehended after the story of his murders was broadcast on the television program America's Most Wanted.
