A New Jersey True Crime Classic of John List, the Westfield Family Massacre, and America's Most Wanted
In November 1971 in Westfield, New Jersey, devout accountant John List executed his wife Alma, his mother Helen, and his three children inside their Victorian mansion before cleaning the crime scene and vanishing. List lived under the assumed identity of Robert Clark in Colorado and Virginia for eighteen years.
Author Joe Sharkey details the forensic cold-case investigation led by Westfield police, FBI agents, and forensic sculptor Frank Bender. The book covers List's 1989 capture following a broadcast on America's Most Wanted and his 1990 capital trial.
