Episode three covers a story that perfectly illustrates how fact is almost always scarier than fiction.

In the 1960s, John List, his wife Helen, his mother Alma and his three children were living a picture-perfect life in a sprawling mansion in suburban New Jersey. Unbeknownst to everyone, dark secrets bubbled just under the surface of this Norman Rockwell fantasy. Soon, five people would be murdered and the person responsible wouldn’t be caught for almost two decades.

This story has it all: sex, lies, money troubles, Lutheranism, long untreated STIs, pot-smoking hippies, reality television and more!
