The Man Who Blew Up His House - ROBERT FISHER

On April 10, 2001, an explosion destroyed the Fisher family home in Scottsdale, Arizona. Inside, firefighters found Mary Fisher, 38, shot in the back of the head with her throat slit, and her two children—Brittney, 12, and Bobby, 10—with their throats slit in their beds. The gas line had been deliberately severed, accelerant poured in the bedrooms, a candle used as a delayed fuse. Missing: Robert William Fisher, 40, the family's husband and father. Ten days later, his Toyota 4Runner was found in Tonto National Forest with the family dog Blue alive underneath—suggesting Fisher got into another vehicle. New evidence from a 2024 podcast reveals the 4Runner was seen at the house at 3:30 AM and 5:30 AM, meaning Fisher only had a 3-hour head start, not the 10-12 hours previously believed. Fisher was a controlling Navy veteran who'd had an affair, contemplated suicide after Mary kicked him out, and told his pastor weeks before the murders that Mary was planning to divorce him. He was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted in 2002, removed in 2021, but remains a wanted fugitive with a $100,000 reward. If alive, he'd be 63. The question: Did he die in the wilderness by suicide, or is he living under a new identity?
