Description

On the morning of November 9, 1971, soon after sending her three children off to school, Helen List sat in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee. She was still in her nightgown and slippers. Her husband, John List, came up behind her and put a 9mm pistol to the side of her head. He fired once, killing his wife instantly.

John next made his way up the stairs to the third floor where his 85-year old mother, Alma, wearing a housedress, was preparing breakfast in her efficiency kitchen. She was standing near the storage room that adjoined her kitchen when a 9mm bullet ripped through the side of her scull. Alma List was dead before her body crumpled in a heap on the floor. The righteous carnage had begun. (Amazon)

Now only the children remained.
