#005 - The List Family consisted of John Emil List, his wife Helen and their 3 young children: Patricia, John List Jr., and Frederick. John's mother, Alma, shared the List family's 19-room Victorian mansion in Westfield, New Jersey.

On November 9, 1971 John List murdered his wife, mother, and 3 children. It wasn't until one month later that their bodies were discovered in the ballroom of the mansion. 

John List remained on the run for over 18 years until he was finally apprehended after his face was featured on the popular television show, America's Most Wanted.
