John E. List, a former Sunday school teacher who was on the run for more than 17 years after killing his family in 1971, has died in New Jersey. He was 82.
List spent at least a decade of his time on the run living in Denver, between the late 1970s and 1987.
Here, he worked as a cook and an accountant, remarried and lived in a red brick home in Montbello under the alias of Robert Clark.
List died Friday, four days after being taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton from New Jersey State Prison. He died of pneumonia complications, officials said.
List was arrested in Virginia just days after being profiled on television’s “America’s Most Wanted” in 1989.
List was convicted in 1990 of murdering his wife, mother and three teen children by shooting them in their Westfield, N.J., home on Nov. 9, 1971.
