Welcome to Behind Closed Doors! Tune in to hear what this podcast is all about. 

John List

In this episode of Behind Closed Doors, we take a closer look at the chilling case of John List, the man who murdered his entire family before disappearing for nearly 18 years. We'll explore the warning signs, the planning behind the murders, how he managed to evade capture for so long, and what ultimately led to his arrest. It's a haunting story of deception, control, and the dark secrets that can exist behind closed doors.

Hannah Hildebrandt

A farmhouse. A family. Poison. A deadly mixture of despair and desperation.

Andrea Yates

She was the mother everyone else measured themselves against. She was gentle, devoted, and endlessly patient. On a quiet morning in June 2001, she drowned all five of her children in the bathtub, one by one. What was happening inside her mind may be even harder to sit with than what happened in that house.

Content warning: child death, suicide, and severe mental illness.

Susan Smith

For nine days, a small town prayed for two missing boys while the truth sat somewhere much closer than anyone imagined. This week, we ask how a mother becomes the last person anyone suspects, and what finally made the story fall apart.
