His heinous crimes took place on November 9, 1971, when he meticulously planned and executed the murders of his wife, mother, and three children in their Westfield, New Jersey home. List's careful planning allowed him to evade suspicion for almost a month.After committing the murders, List assumed a new identity, remarried, and managed to elude capture for nearly 18 years. However, his reign as a fugitive came to an end on June 1, 1989, when the story of his crimes was featured on the television program America's Most Wanted. Following his arrest in Virginia, he was extradited to New Jersey to face justice.In court, List was convicted on five counts of first-degree murder and received a sentence of five consecutive life imprisonments.

He believed that killing them would secure their souls a place in Heaven, where he hoped to join them eventually.List spent the remainder of his life behind bars and passed away in prison in 2008 at the age of 82.Support The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsShow Website And Bloghttps://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/[email protected] Follow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/truecrimeodyssey
