In this episode of Crime Chat, we dive into the chilling case of John List, the New Jersey accountant who murdered his entire family in 1971 and then disappeared.

We walk through the crime itself, the aftermath, his full confession, and how John managed to evade capture for 18 years before being recognized after a feature on America’s Most Wanted.

As usual, the DSM-5 comes out to explore possible mental health explanations and whether they help us understand (or complicate) the narrative.
