Until 1971, existence was best for mild-mannered accountant John List. He was vice leader of a Shirt City standard bank and had relocated his mom, wife, and three teenage children right into a nineteen-room home in Westfield, New Jersey. But all that changed when he lost his job. Raised by his Lutheran father to believe achievement meant being a great provider, List noticed himself as an utter failing. Straining under economic burdens, the stress of concealing his unemployment, as well as worries which the free-spirited 197 about Death Sentence: The Inside Story of the John List Murders 0s would corrupt the souls of his children, List came to a shattering summary.

‘It was my belief that in the event that you eliminate yourself, you will not go to heaven,’ List told Connie Chung within a television interview. ‘So eventually I got eventually to the stage where I felt that I possibly could eliminate them. Hopefully they might go to heaven, and maybe I’d have an opportunity to afterwards confess my sins to God and get forgiveness.’

List methodically shot his whole family in their home, managing to conceal the fatalities for weeks using a carefully orchestrated plan of deception. Then he vanished and started over as Robert P. Clark. Chronicling List’s life before and following the grisly criminal offense, Death Word exposes the truth about the accountant-turned-killer, including the details of his high-profile trial.
