Episode 82: The Ballroom Murders (Case of John List)
Wanda was reading a tabloid of “The Perfect Crime.” She couldn’t believe it - how does a family man just viciously murder his entire family in their 19 bedroom mansion?
And the worst part is he got away with it and has been on the run for 18 years.
At that moment she looked up and saw the killer. Staring back at her. Only it wasn’t John List. It was her new neighbor… or was it?
