Additions Somebody should import all the killers from 'Filicide' to this list. Billy Bishop 20:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

>>>Research Point >>> Tuesday, March 25, 2008 John List made the news again today. This time because he died, finally, in prison at 82 years of age. Editorial comments are not what this is about. It is about a certain irony. List was a resident of Westfield, NJ. This excellent, well-rounded community has a long-standing reputation in the state for a high quality of life and a strong, functional effective social, economic, and political fabric. It's very history and long-standing reputation for community excellence made List's tragic story even more profound, ironic and puzzling. But 12 years before these horrific murders, there was something equally tragic in the same ostensibly quiet town just not on as grand a scale. In September of 1959, a Westfield High School Senior, whose last name was Bailey, was murdered by his mother as the boy slept in his bedroom. Bailey had been elected first team all Union County the year before by The Elizabeth Daily Journal. The newspaper reported this story, and since my family -- we were residence of Hillside, NJ -- subscribed to the paper, I remember reading their front-page account of this tragedy. I, too, was a High School Senior that year. I may be wrong, but I think this murder was kind of "expunged" from public memory... unlike The List Family Tragedy. Does anyone have any record of this story being mentioned anywhere in connection with all that has been written about The List Family. Two family killings like this in the same town in the same relative era seems to beg that the Bailey homicide would be mentioned in relation to The List children. If anyone has any information, I would be interested in learning about it. Thank you.
