Today we’re releasing the first three episodes of our serial podcast about one of New Jersey’s most infamous mass murders: John List’s execution of his family in their Westfield mansion 50 years ago.
If you lived here in 1971, you probably remember the shock when police discovered the bodies of List’s three children, wife and mother, and realized the accountant had carefully planned it all and disappeared completely.
Or maybe you remember the incredible revelations about the second life List led while eluding police for nearly two decades. Or maybe, like me, you’ve wondered what futures those innocent children would have had, if not for their father’s twisted reasoning.
Whether you think you know the story or not, I know you’ll be captivated by the deep-dive podcast we’ve put together after more than a year of investigating.
We’ll take you through the chilling story and get to really know the victims, with new information, reflection and analysis gleaned from hundreds of pages of investigative documents and interviews with nearly 50 sources, some of whom had never spoken publicly.
