TCO EP:60 John List

John Emil List, born on September 17, 1925, gained infamy as an American mass murderer and fugitive. 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. This meant that he would not be eligible for parole for nearly 75 years. List cited critical financial problems and his belief that his family was straying from their religious faith as motivations for his heinous acts. 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.

The Guilty Files Explained

We know that there are thousands of true crime podcasts — but none like this.In this debut episode of The Guilty Files, former Atlanta police officers Brian and Dani pull back the curtain on a brand-new approach to true crime storytelling. Every case we cover gets the full treatment: three episodes, three perspectives, one case file at a time. Here’s how it works:

Mondays: Brian delivers the cold, hard facts — the timeline, the evidence, the who, what, when, and how.
Wednesdays: Dani breaks it wide open. With degrees in sociology and psychology, he dives deep into the mind behind the crime in True Crime Rewritten. He also reimagines one key moment to ask the big “what if” — how could one small change have shifted the entire story?
Fridays: We come together to challenge each other’s theories, unpack the emotional weight of the case, and offer our unique perspectives as former cops who’ve lived this world firsthand. And yeah — we keep it real with a little humor where we can, because these cases get heavy.

We’re not here to sensationalize — we’re here to understand.
And we’re bringing something no one else is:
Real experience. Real stories. Real insight from the inside.The show premieres Tuesday, April 1st at midnight, with nine full episodes — three complete case files, ready to binge.
