In 1971, a quiet New Jersey suburb was shattered by an unthinkable crime: the mass murder of the List family. Accountant and Sunday school teacher John List meticulously planned the slaughter of his wife, mother, and three children in their mansion before fleeing. Driven by warped religious convictions and mounting financial failure, List wrote a chilling confessional letter justifying his actions. This fugitive father would successfully live under a new identity for almost two decades, becoming one of America's most wanted criminals. The exhaustive, 18-year search for List finally broke open when a revolutionary forensic sculpture, revealing what the killer looked like in his 60s, aired on national television, leading to his arrest in Virginia. This documentary also examines the tragic 1986 murder of Cyrus Jefferson in San Diego.
