A.C. dives into the shocking and complex case of William Bradford Bishop—a once-respected Foreign Service officer turned fugitive after brutally murdering his family in 1976. In this episode, we delve into the chilling events leading up to the murders, Bishop's meticulously planned escape, and the decades-long manhunt that followed. Through a detailed exploration of his psychological profile, the investigation, and the unanswered questions that still linger, we reflect on what this case reveals about mental health, family violence, and the cracks in the criminal justice system. Did Bishop manage to build a new life overseas, or has he evaded justice in plain sight all these years? Join us as we unravel the mystery that has haunted investigators and the public for decades.
