00:31:46β
00:31:48Do you love me?
00:31:50Of course I do.
00:31:53Then please, respect my wishes.
00:31:57Find a more modest dress for the benefit, okay?
00:32:05Fine.
00:32:18What was he doing?
00:32:20I don't know. He was kind of freaking out.
00:32:22He was pacing back and forth, agitated as hell.
00:32:26And then he threw a magazine across the room.
00:32:28That magazine?
00:32:29I don't know. I couldn't really see it.
00:32:31But he seemed pretty mad about it.
00:32:35He must have seen it when I dropped it in the kitchen.
00:32:38Gone and bought a copy.
00:32:40We don't know anything for sure, you know?
00:32:43I mean, think about it.
00:32:44If we took this to the cops, they say that the evidence was pretty thin.
00:32:47I know that.
00:32:55Oh, God.
00:32:57What?
00:32:59You got that look.
00:33:00What look?
00:33:01You know that look you get when you're going to ask me to do something that I don't want to
00:33:05do?
00:33:06Every Sunday, Clark and his wife go to church.
00:33:09Yeah.
00:33:09They're out of the house for, like, three hours.
00:33:12They leave at 8.30 and come back around midday.
00:33:15Oh, no, Steph.
00:33:17I am not breaking into his house.
00:33:20I didn't ask you to.
00:33:21I didn't say anything.
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:24What do you want me to do?
00:33:28Break into his house.
00:33:29Oh, I knew it!
00:33:31I knew it!
00:33:32You know, breaking and entering is a felony, right?
00:33:35I could go to jail.
00:33:36He wouldn't have to actually break in.
00:33:38His wife leaves his spare key under a plant pot next to the front door.
00:33:42Okay, so if...
00:33:45If I do this...
00:33:48What am I supposed to be looking for?
00:33:49Any evidence that proves Clark is John List.
00:33:52Oh, come on, Steph.
00:33:55You really think he's going to keep incriminating s*** lying around all these years later?
00:33:59No, but there might be an older photo.
00:34:02If we had a picture with a clearer resemblance, it would help convince the cops.
00:34:07Yeah, but...
00:34:07How are we going to explain how we got it?
00:34:10I mean, surely the cops are going to know that I broke into his house.
00:34:13What are they going to care more about?
00:34:15Busting you for stealing a photo or catching some guy who murdered his whole family?
00:34:23I can't believe I'm going to do this.
00:34:26I must be crazy.
00:34:35Thanks for meeting me today, Miss Phillips.
00:34:37I know you're very busy.
00:34:39Please, call me Ellen.
00:34:41Ellen.
00:34:43The show you produce, it's...
00:34:44It's intriguing.
00:34:46I've never seen anything quite like it before.
00:34:47Well, I brought it to the network.
00:34:50But it's really John Wesley's brainchild.
00:34:53You heard what happened to his kid, right?
00:34:56He was murdered, wasn't he?
00:34:58That's right.
00:34:59His young son.
00:35:02John noticed when dealing with the media how quickly they could get information out there.
00:35:07The TV coverage helped catch his son's killer.
00:35:11If this used in the right way, the media can be a powerful weapon.
00:35:15It can.
00:35:16Of course, if I'm being honest, I've got to admit, the media's motives are hardly noble.
00:35:22Everyone who works in this business understands if it bleeds, it leads.
00:35:29Why do you think people are so fascinated by murder?
00:35:35Killers tantalize people.
00:35:39Like traffic accidents or natural disasters.
00:35:44The actions of a killer are horrible.
00:35:48But the public just can't look away.
00:35:52So, did you get a chance to have a look over the details of the list case?
00:35:56I did.
00:35:57And will you consider featuring it on the show?
00:36:00It's the kind of taboo crime that intrigues and horrifies people.
00:36:07But the problem is, it took place so long ago.
00:36:12You have one picture that's over 20 years old.
00:36:16The guy probably looks very different now.
00:36:20I'd have to question whether or not we'd get the audience response we need to make an identification.
00:36:29But it's worth a shot, isn't it?
00:36:31I don't think the network is going to want to blot our copybook by featuring cases which are unlikely to
00:36:43have a positive outcome.
00:36:45So, what are you saying?
00:36:47I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:36:51But if you get any additional information that could improve the chances of an identification, then we'll certainly consider it
00:37:02for future broadcast.
00:37:27It's time.
00:38:18I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:38:20I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:38:50I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:39:20I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:40:19I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:40:36I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:40:50I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:40:50I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:41:00I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:41:03I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:41:05I'm saying it's a pass for now.
00:43:29All right.
00:43:29Have a good night.
00:43:30See you tomorrow.
00:43:31Yes?
00:43:31Detective Frank Clayton, sir.
00:43:32Do you have a minute?
00:43:33Yeah.
00:43:34How can I help you, Detective?
00:43:35I spoke to your producer, Alan Phillips.
00:43:37I'm trying to get a cake speech you got on your show.
00:43:39Well, if you go through her channels, she's going to arrange that for you.
00:43:42Oh, no.
00:43:42She rejected it, sir.
00:43:44Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
00:43:45We have a rather full plate right now.
00:43:46We can't feature everybody, but perhaps sometime in the future.
00:43:49Well, you see, time is a factor here, sir.
00:43:51Look, Detective, that's just the way it works here.
00:43:54We have to go through the channels, you know.
00:43:57I know what happened to your son.
00:44:02Yeah, well, it's a matter of public record, unfortunately.
00:44:08John List murdered both of his sons in cold blood.
00:44:13Frederick, John Jr.
00:44:16They were 13 and 15.
00:44:19His daughter, too.
00:44:21Patricia.
00:44:23She was 16.
00:44:27I've been working this case for nearly two decades now.
00:44:31My department shut me down, and I'm having to do it on my own time.
00:44:36All because I am still haunted by that crime scene.
00:44:42Three beautiful children.
00:44:45Snuffed out by a man who was supposed to love and protect them.
00:44:50They deserve justice, Mr. Wesley.
00:44:54Come on.
00:44:55Looks like you can use a drink.
00:45:01It was July back in 81.
00:45:04Aaron was our first and only son at the time.
00:45:08My wife, Debra, and I were living the American dream.
00:45:12Had a great job in real estate.
00:45:14Beautiful home.
00:45:16Debra always wanted to be a mother.
00:45:18So when Aaron came along, our lives were complete.
00:45:25And one day, we were in a department store browsing.
00:45:29Aaron was with us.
00:45:32Laughing, running in and out of the aisles like he always did.
00:45:36Couldn't have turned our back on him for more than a minute.
00:45:39It was gone.
00:45:42Knowing that he was out there, alone, frightened, without us.
00:45:47I felt so helpless.
00:45:55Two weeks later, they found his body in a river.
00:46:00Opportunist, abduction, murder.
00:46:06Our lives completely changed in a matter of minutes.
00:46:11The day they found Aaron's body, my heart broke into a million pieces.
00:46:20Years later, I'm still trying to put it back together.
00:46:23I'm sorry.
00:46:24I think what hurt even more was the fact that the local police department's response was so poor.
00:46:30I mean, with all due respect to you, detective,
00:46:34they didn't know their head from their ass.
00:46:37I can only imagine if they'd been a little bit more decisive,
00:46:41we could have found Aaron before that animal took his life.
00:46:45Well, if it had come to my department, it would have been a different story.
00:46:49Yeah, I appreciate that.
00:46:51But when the media got involved, I realized that we could create this wide awareness.
00:47:00It also restored my faith in human nature at a very dark time.
00:47:04We received over 40,000 letters from all over the country.
00:47:09People wishing us well, sympathizing, sharing their own stories.
00:47:16And I knew that if I could get information out there on a national scale
00:47:20and galvanize the public into being directly involved with finding those criminals,
00:47:27we could solve cases that would generally never stand a chance.
00:47:31This is why I came to you, Mr. Wesley.
00:47:34I don't share a bloodline with the Les children, but...
00:47:38But in death, I've got to know them so well.
00:47:42I talked to everybody about Frederick and John Jr. and Patricia.
00:47:48I learned about all the things they loved.
00:47:51Dreams.
00:47:53Aspirations.
00:47:57If I'd have caught List, then there'd be closure.
00:48:00But as long as he's still out there, this will never be over.
00:48:04Those children will never be at peace.
00:48:07I know.
00:48:09It took us years to find Aaron's murder.
00:48:14Closure is important.
00:48:16It really is.
00:48:18I've been chasing it for 18 years.
00:48:24Look, Frank, I can't promise anything.
00:48:27I'm usually a servant to the network and these kind of things, but...
00:48:33I'll do my best.
00:48:36Try and get you on the show.
00:48:39Thank you, John.
00:48:42I appreciate that.
00:48:58So what do you want to do next?
00:49:00I don't know.
00:49:02Well, one thing's for sure.
00:49:04I'm not sneaking around his house anymore.
00:49:06It's too risky.
00:49:08I know.
00:49:10I'm so sorry.
00:49:13I'll live.
00:49:16Maybe I should just call the cops.
00:49:18At least then that would shine a spotlight on him.
00:49:21Maybe if his IDs don't check out, they'll discover who he really is.
00:49:24And if we're wrong, they'll bust us for wasting police time.
00:49:29You don't still have doubts, do you?
00:49:33I don't know.
00:49:39We're going to need more than just suspicion before we call the cops.
00:49:42Look, I know we've been through this.
00:49:51Look, I'm going to go home.
00:49:53I'm pretty tired.
00:49:54Okay.
00:49:57You come by tomorrow?
00:50:00Sure.
00:50:01I'm going to go home.
00:50:37God damn it.
00:50:39Profanity isn't necessary, young man.
00:50:41What the hell are you doing in my car?
00:50:43I think it's time we had a little chat.
00:50:45And you needed to break into my car to do that?
00:50:48I guess this makes us even.
00:50:52What do you mean?
00:50:53The postman.
00:50:55When I left, he was right there on the model.
00:50:58When I came back, he was on the floor.
00:51:01Unless this town experienced its first ever earthquake while I was out, it's tough to see how that could have
00:51:06happened.
00:51:12I know that you and your girlfriend, Stephanie, have taken quite an interest in me lately.
00:51:16No, no.
00:51:17Please just...
00:51:18Let's level with each other.
00:51:22I don't know why you've been snooping around.
00:51:25Maybe I don't want to know.
00:51:27But let me tell you one thing.
00:51:29I value my privacy.
00:51:34As I'm sure you value your own.
00:51:36We all have a right to it.
00:51:39I'll respect yours if you respect mine.
00:51:44And here's the point to remember.
00:51:47You may be watching me.
00:51:54But I'm also watching you.
00:52:23Hey, Frank.
00:52:24Sorry I'm late.
00:52:25That production meeting ran over as usual.
00:52:27Not a problem.
00:52:28So, this is the guy I was telling you about.
00:52:30Dave Brenton.
00:52:31Good to meet you.
00:52:32You too.
00:52:43So, you're a sculptor?
00:52:45It's actually auto-didact forensic artist.
00:52:50You'll have to forgive me, Dave.
00:52:51I'm a little behind the times.
00:52:53What exactly does your job entail?
00:52:55Facial reconstructions of fugitives based on outdated pictures.
00:52:59You know, aging a sculpted bust to show how they may look in the present day.
00:53:04See, Frank, here's the problem you have.
00:53:07That photograph that we have of Liszt is as old as hell.
00:53:10Viewers need to see what he looks like today in order to make a positive ID.
00:53:15That's where Dave comes in.
00:53:17He fabricates that age-progressed bust so that our viewer gets a pretty good indication of what Liszt might look
00:53:23like today.
00:53:24Massively improve your chance of a positive ID.
00:53:27It sounds terrific, but we can't be certain of what Liszt looks like now, so it's going to be kind
00:53:32of speculative, isn't it?
00:53:33It'll be based on a lot of research, and I'll create some various key questions.
00:53:38Where does he live?
00:53:39The city?
00:53:40The suburbs?
00:53:41And what kind of clothes does he wear?
00:53:43I think he would wear a pair of thick, dark brown glasses.
00:53:46Why do you think that?
00:53:47I think he would want to look more astute, you know, more in control than he really was.
00:53:53Well, it could be you've got the right handle on this guy.
00:53:59The disappearance of the daughter, the Amber Alert going out for her, the discovery of her body in her father's
00:54:07home, and then the arrest of this man.
00:54:09He was arrested after somebody had heard...
00:54:10God, that's awful.
00:54:14Bob?
00:54:15What?
00:54:16You hear that on the TV.
00:54:20A father killed his own daughter.
00:54:23Isn't that awful?
00:54:28Yeah, that's terrible.
00:54:31And then they noticed, officers noticed...
00:54:34What on earth could drive a man to kill his own flesh and blood?
00:54:39He was taken to hospital and found...
00:54:40Maybe she disappointed him.
00:54:42A self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:54:44Now this is the situation, all of this involving his daughter, 11-year-old Rhea.
00:54:51There's been a tremendous community outpouring for her, and the investigation...
00:54:58A self-inflicted gunshot wound.
00:55:10Hey.
00:55:13Hey.
00:55:15Hey.
00:55:18You're okay?
00:55:20Not really.
00:55:37I know you're having a tough time at the moment and I've been working so much I haven't been here
00:55:47as much as I should have. It's fine. No it's not. Your mother before she passed
00:55:58she made me promise that I'd always be there for you. You have been. But not enough. I thought we
00:56:12need the money I'll do more shifts but if I was being honest with myself I just couldn't I couldn't
00:56:19just stay at home alone with my thoughts.
00:56:24I must say it was a struggle. I still think about your mother all the time but I just can't
00:56:36focus on the good times I just did.
00:56:46I miss her too.
00:56:55I'm gonna be here for you Steph. More. I'm gonna be here for you more. I promise.
00:57:07Shh.
00:57:10Shh.
00:57:18Oh.
00:57:20Shh.
00:57:26Shh.
00:57:28Shh.
00:57:41Oh, my God.
00:58:26Oh, my God.
00:58:56Oh, my God.
00:58:59Oh, my God.
00:59:42This house is one of the best properties on the market right now.
00:59:45Perfect for a family.
00:59:51Well, I find that most things start and end with the family, one way or another.
01:00:09Wow.
01:00:11Oh, quite the attention to detail there, Dave.
01:00:15Great job.
01:00:16Really intricate work.
01:00:19Question is, how close is this to how this looks now?
01:00:24Oh, show tapes tomorrow.
01:00:28We'll find out soon enough.
01:00:31Oh, my God.
01:00:31Oh, my God.
01:00:45Oh, my God.
01:00:47Oh, my God.
01:00:48Oh, my God.
01:00:49Oh, my God.
01:00:49Oh, my God.
01:00:49Oh, my God.
01:00:49Oh, my God.
01:00:50Oh, my God.
01:00:55Oh, my God.
01:01:11To be continued...
01:01:30Well, it's your shot today, Frank.
01:01:32I'm kind of nervous.
01:01:34Don't worry about it.
01:01:35There's only 15 million people going to be watching.
01:01:38Nothing to be nervous about.
01:01:39You know how to put a mind to these.
01:01:42You'll be fine. Just follow my lead.
01:01:45The important thing to remember is that
01:01:47maybe one of those 15 million people
01:01:49know where John List is.
01:01:52You can finally nail that son of a .
01:01:56Come on.
01:02:00Hello?
01:02:01Hey, it's me.
01:02:03You okay?
01:02:04I was going to ask you the same thing.
01:02:07How come you didn't come over tonight?
01:02:09I had football practice.
01:02:11It's Wednesday.
01:02:13Isn't practice usually on Thursday?
01:02:17Uh, they moved it.
01:02:20Don't lie to me, Danny.
01:02:23Alright, you want me to say it?
01:02:26I'm kind of freaked out.
01:02:28I mean, that guy broke into my car and he threatened me.
01:02:31It's okay to be scared.
01:02:33I am too.
01:02:34I just don't know what to do.
01:02:36I mean, that said he was watching me.
01:02:39He's watching both of us.
01:02:44So, what are we going to do?
01:02:46I don't know.
01:02:47But I do know that being together is better than being apart.
01:02:52Makes sense.
01:02:54Or to put it bluntly, if you still care about me at all, then get over here.
01:03:02I do still care about you.
01:03:05I love you, Steph.
01:03:07Nothing has changed on that front.
01:03:11Then stick with me on this.
01:03:14I will.
01:03:17The greatest element of being a teacher is not only just what happens inside the classroom, but all the opportunities
01:03:24that are outside the classroom.
01:03:28Hey, Steph.
01:03:30You want to watch some TV with your old man?
01:03:33Danny and Melissa are coming over.
01:03:36That's later.
01:03:37Come and watch some TV with your old man.
01:03:40It's good to get out of the bedroom for a while, no?
01:03:43Yeah, I guess you're right.
01:03:45Yeah.
01:03:46What are you watching?
01:03:48Nothing much.
01:03:49Just waiting for this show to come on.
01:03:52The one where they track down America's most wanted criminals.
01:03:55Have you ever seen it?
01:03:56No.
01:03:58It's pretty interesting.
01:04:00I was going to make a sandwich.
01:04:03You want one?
01:04:05Yeah, sure.
01:04:07Okay.
01:04:09Yeah.
01:04:17Good evening.
01:04:18I'm John Wesley.
01:04:20Those of you who are regular viewers know that we highlight mostly recent cases.
01:04:26But tonight, we're turning back the clock 18 years.
01:04:31To November the 9th, 1971.
01:04:34When a seemingly mild-mannered accountant and churchgoer, John List.
01:04:40Dad?
01:04:44What's wrong?
01:04:45Look, they're talking about John List.
01:04:48Remember I showed you that magazine?
01:04:53The guy you think is living across the street?
01:04:56It's not funny, Dad.
01:04:58Look.
01:05:01We hope that someone out there tonight may know where he is.
01:05:04We've consulted a number of profilers over those years, and they speculate that List may have obsessive-compulsive disorder and
01:05:13other associative disorders.
01:05:15Control is very important to this man.
01:05:19Control can be ever so subtle, often hidden behind the pretense of help or advice, a suggestion, or even a
01:05:27joke.
01:05:27Maybe there's someone out there tonight may recognize this key characteristic.
01:05:33Interesting.
01:05:34I know you mentioned that List went to great pains to cover his tracks.
01:05:38He removed himself from all family photographs and wasn't particularly a social person.
01:05:44So it was very difficult for you to obtain a photograph for identification purposes.
01:05:50That's right. We had one very, very old photograph to go on.
01:05:53But now, thanks to the work of the esteemed forensic artist David Brenton, we have a bust of List's head,
01:06:00which we have age-progressed and should be able to give the viewers a-
01:06:06Holy shit!
01:06:07I told you, Dad! I told you!
01:06:08Oh! Oh!
01:06:10Oh!
01:06:12We need to call the cops.
01:06:14Let's not get hasty here.
01:06:15What else are we gonna do?
01:06:43Oh!
01:06:45Maybe I could go over to him and talk to him and make sure it's really him!
01:06:49Dad, are you crazy? He's a mass murderer!
01:06:51Dad, are you crazy? He's a mass murderer!
01:07:17don't feel like we could see them again?
01:07:21Look at us...κ³€...
01:07:23Okay, okay, well, let me call the cops, yeah, let them deal with it.
01:07:29Okay, okay.
01:07:30Okay.
01:07:43Dad?
01:07:48Dad?
01:07:49Dad, the power's out.
01:08:04Dad?
01:08:21Dad?
01:08:26Dad, that's what we're doing now and what you might prove is.
01:08:44Steph?
01:08:47Jimmy, hello?
01:08:59Maybe they went out.
01:09:01Yeah, Steph struggles to get around, so why would she go out if she knew that we were coming over?
01:09:11He's still breathing.
01:09:15Look, go in there, call the cops, okay? I'm gonna make sure this stuff's alright, yeah?
01:09:19Yeah.
01:09:23Oh, .
01:09:26Go, Mel, call the cops!
01:09:29Go, go!
01:09:30No!
01:09:40George!
01:09:41Get off me!
01:09:43Get off me!
01:09:59You okay, kid?
01:10:01Yeah, yeah. Are you?
01:10:04Nothing. A few stitches and a couple of painkillers won't take care of.
01:10:13Steph!
01:10:16Hey!
01:10:17Hey!
01:10:23Hey!
01:10:24Hey!
01:10:26Hey!
01:10:26Hey!
01:10:28All right, come on.
01:10:31Okay?
01:10:33All right, come on.
01:10:35Hey!
01:10:36Okay?
01:10:46Hey, hey!
01:10:54Hey!
01:10:56Righty!
01:10:58Hey!
01:11:04Yeah.
01:11:30Yeah.
01:12:18You know, I've waited 18 years for this moment, for the chance to be face-to-face with you.
01:12:30To ask you how you could do it.
01:12:39But the truth is, no answer you can give will help me sleep better at night.
01:12:46But what will help is knowing you're going to spend the rest of your days in an eight-by-nine
01:12:51cell.
01:12:54And for every single one of those days, you'll be looking over your shoulder in fear of vigilante
01:13:00justice at any moment.
01:13:05And you'll finally know what it's like to feel the terror your family felt as you murdered
01:13:12them.
01:13:17And after all of that, you'll still have hell to look forward to.
