"I don't know whether it was only because he was still jerking that I wanted to make sure that he didn't suffer, or that it was sort of a way of relieving tension," the elder John recalled of the multiple shots he took. But John List had been making these sorts of threats for a while. According to NJ.com, Patty told a friend that her father had been chillingly direct with them, asking the children if they wanted to be buried or cremated.

The 43-year-old collapsed on the kitchen floor, where she would stay while John went upstairs, where his mother was living in a small apartment. They moved again to Detroit, Michigan, where he had several years of success in the accounting field. John also went to college at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in accounting.
Here's what the cast thinks of the true story that inspired the show
In 1965, when List and his family moved to affluent Westfield, N.J., he seemed to be a model of suburban success and propriety. He was vice president and comptroller of a nearby bank, and his family lived in an 18-room mansion with marble fireplaces and an elegant ballroom. They attended church each week with List's mother, a strict Lutheran who lived with them. The discovery of a series of letters written by him made it clear he was the killer.
List's children suspected he would kill them
The List neighborhood is much as it was in the days of John List, a quiet and starched-upright accountant who only brought attention to himself because he cut his lawn in a shirt and tie. It is a story that still hovers over the neighborhood, although the years have lessened the shock and sadness and dulled the tragedy. John List died on Good Friday, which, for a religious man, speaks unthinkable irony. “I remember thinking ‘Jeez, these people have actually gone through this. This actually exists in the world,’” Dumezweni said of her initial reaction to the story.
He believed that killing them would assure their souls a place in Heaven, where he hoped to eventually join them. The BLM manages 245 million acres of public lands that are heavily concentrated in the western states. Under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, BLM's mission is guided by multiple use and sustained yield mandate.
In court, List claimed he was insane to try and avoid a life sentence. The unsuspecting wife showed the agents two photos - one from their wedding day. He appeared to have let his guard down, losing the moustache and moving to Richmond, Virginia with his second wife, and even practising accounting again. However, in fact, List had moved to Denver, Colorado, where he worked as a cook at a Holiday Inn. List had family in Germany and spoke German from his time there during the Second World War.

Helen Chiang
The house where John List murdered his mother, wife and three children in 1971 was a 19-room mansion called "Breeze Knoll," built in the post-Victorian era when grand houses got their own names. It was on Hillside Avenue in one of the most exclusive areas of Westfield. After moving Helen's body, John told ABC News that he set about cleaning up the blood, making it easier to catch his children unawares later. According to "Death Sentence," she was drinking her morning coffee at the kitchen table when her husband shot her in the jaw with a pistol. She was killed outright, though John next wildly fired around the kitchen, hitting the wall. Then, he ran upstairs to his mother's apartment, shooting her in the face.
He has covered campaigns and elections in 49 of the 50 states, including a dozen presidential contests and scores of mayoral, legislative, gubernatorial and congressional races. He also reported from the White House and Capitol Hill during the George H.W. Bush and Clinton administrations. Boebert may be a newcomer, but having the most money and highest name recognition (for good and ill) makes her the candidate to beat.
Bill Woodward, the Broadduses’ housepainter, shared a detail with Reeves in the New York Magazine profile about the couple who lived in the house behind 657 Boulevard. Mia Farrow, who plays one of the Brannock's slightly ominous neighbors Pearl Winslow, said she had no idea they were portraying a real story until filming had already begun. The letters, meanwhile, have spawned a lawsuit -- the new owners say they should have been made aware of the situation -- and a police investigation. He said later that he wanted to save his family from the pain of financial ruin, and didn't kill himself because he wanted to get into Heaven. "Seems like the headlines for The Watcher are causing a lot of people to search for (John) List," tweeted Stanley Rogouski, a New Jersey blogger who has written about the List murders. Though the show never confirms that the man is Graff (he introduces himself as William "Bill" Webster), there is a moment where another character seems to recognize him, and asks about his family.
After the project is complete, Ennis House is expected to be open to the public a few days per year. This large and lovely home is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument and a California State Landmark. After some devastating damage and a long search for the right buyer, the house was sold and was under renovation.
But in 1965, John, who was also a Sunday school teacher and Boy Scout troop leader, was offered the position of vice president and comptroller at a bank in Jersey City, New Jersey. In December 1951, John married Helen after they met in Korea, where her first husband was killed, and they moved to California. "I remember the story when it happened. I remember when it was in the news. I lived on the East Coast at the time and it was a big, scary, creepy story that I think a lot of us won’t forget," Coolidge said. As they continued to search for the possible stalker, the Broaddus family started to garner media attention, which gave national eyes on the investigation. Jennifer Coolidge, who portrays Nora Brannock's old friend and brassy real estate agent Karen Calhoun, recalled seeing the story unfold in the news. Before he drove to JFK International Airport, where he would abandon his car and disappear, John had one more thing to do.
With his entire family dead, John List then set out to escape justice for his grisly crimes.
These uses include livestock grazing, energy and mineral development, timber production, outdoor recreation, habitat for wildlife and watershed protection. With the help of their longtime architect, List's parents helped the newbie homeowner handle the seven-month renovation of the 90-year-old house. But their expertise falls more in restoration than redecoration. So when it came time to meet with dozens of interior designers to find out who she was simpatico with, always-on-the-go List decided on a different route.
Most of the arrests were made at Columbia, including about two dozen protesters who police say tried to prevent officers from entering the campus, the official said. Often these uses overlap on BLM land and co-exist with each other. Meaningful conservation work continues to occur simultaneously with, and often benefiting from, these other uses. Responsible uses of BLM lands are central to the western way of life. Many rural economies rely on and thrive due to their access to BLM land and its multiple uses. Meanwhile, back at Breeze Knoll, investigators found the bodies after neighbors summoned police because they hadn’t seen anyone enter or leave the house in a month.
The three-story house sits on the sand and has five bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and more than 4,400 square feet of living space. Balconies and patio space on each level create additional living space outdoors. Westfield, New Jersey is a nice area and is located just an hour west of New York City.
He had left his vice-presidency at the firm and began selling insurance in a frantic effort to pay the bills. Besides all of this, his three children were all teenagers, and one in particular, sixteen year old Patricia Marie, was dabbling with marijuana and theater, both of which John viewed as rather un-Christian. John saw his perfect life unravelling and decided it was better to remove his family from Earth rather than have them go through a life of poverty and sin. For the 2024 WHCD on Saturday, April 27, SNL's Colin Jost was tapped to deliver the roast of President Joe Biden — and he'll have plenty of entertainment peers in the room watching.
