The List Family Murders

On November 9, 1971, a man named John List got to work killing his entire family. After killing his wife Helen, his mother Alma, and his children Patricia, John Frederick, and Frederick, he vanished. In 1989, List was arrested and ultimately convicted of the murders.

Today, we speak with a longtime listener with a unique perspective on this case: He corresponded with John List while the family annihilator served his life sentence in prison.

The Donut Shop Killers

The Donut Shop Killers

On early autumn night in 1971, two creepy men visited Winchell's Donut Shop in Salt Lake City. Sherman McCrary and Carl Taylor sipped on coffee, and directed profane remarks at other customers. Then, when the shop had cleared out, they kidnapped Sheri Martin, the young clerk on duty. It was the beginning of a multi-state robbery and rape and murder spree for the men and their families. At times, McCrary and Taylor even brazenly committed their sexual crimes on women as their own wives sat by, quietly watching.Law enforcement figured out relatively quickly that the binge of violence and sexual sadism was the work of one group of perpetrators.  But how many innocents would suffer and die before detectives identified the killers?

Shootout at the Carbarn

Shootout at the Carbarn

Early on a summer morning in 1919, cops and robbers faced off in Sioux City, Iowa. The showdown kicked off at the Carbarn, an unassuming eatery dedicated to the city's streetcar workers. Leading the charge on the side of the law was Detective James Garfield Britton, a veteran officer who'd lost his job as police chief over rising crime rates. The bandits were captained by one Donald "Red" Burzette, a brigand among bootleggers who often resorted to violence to steal loot. That morning, both sides exchanged around 17 gunshots in 10 seconds. But who was left standing in the Carbarn when the shooting stopped?Special thanks to Haley Aguirre for her insight and research help.
