The Bishop Family Murders
In March 1976, William Bradford Bishop Jr. murdered his wife, Annette, his mother, Lobelia, and his three young sons inside the family’s Maryland home. He then drove their bodies hundreds of miles to North Carolina, where they were discovered partially burned in a shallow grave.
Bishop’s bloodstained station wagon was later found abandoned in the Great Smoky Mountains—but Bishop had vanished. In this episode, we follow the brutal family murders, the evidence he left behind, reported sightings around the world, and the decades-long search for one of America’s most notorious fugitives.
