In 1971, John List left a note with the bodies of his mother, wife and three children in his mansion ballroom right before he disappeared. Eighteen years later, all detectives had to work from is an outdated photograph of List.

A fifteen-year-old boy died from a mysterious gunshot wound to his head while he was sitting in the lobby of his father's gun club.

A woman disappeared and her husband became the prime suspect -- especially after police found a huge bloodstain on the carpet of their bedroom.
