Killer Dads, Part 1

The Family
Winnfred Wright, a black Charles Manson, preached a blend of New Age mysticism and black radicalism. He convinced a harem of white women that they had to pay for the racist sins of their white ancestors by serving him financially, physically and sexually. They obliged and bore him 19 children, who were tortured, starved and murdered.


John List
He abandoned his car at the airport and left town intending never to return. Back in his mansion in Westfield, N.J., a phonograph played church music over and over for those he'd left behind. John List had just murdered his entire family.


Marcus Wesson
Says he is Jesus Christ, marries and then sires children with his own daughters and his wife's nieces. He rules his children with an iron fist abusing them physically and sexually. He teaches them to worship him, support him, bear his children and when the time comes, to kill their children and themselves rather than be separated from him.


Fathers Who Kill
What kinds of pressures drive fathers to murder their children? Dr. Katherine Ramsland provides some answers and looks at some high-profile cases.
