Show Notes
John List was a devoted father, a churchgoing man, and a respected accountant—or so it seemed. In 1971, inside a sprawling New Jersey mansion, he murdered his entire family, then disappeared without a trace. For nearly two decades, he built a new life under a different name—until one broadcast brought everything crashing down.
In this episode of Malice in the Mitten, we examine the chilling case of John List—a Michigan-connected killer whose obsession with control, faith, and appearances led to one of the most disturbing family annihilation cases in American history.
This is a story of deception, psychological unraveling, and the terrifying question:
How far can someone go… and still believe they were right?
