In 2001, Christian Longo killed his wife and three small children in Oregon after facing severe financial difficulties, similar to John List. Longo presented himself as a devoted family man but was cheating on his wife and could no longer hide their financial troubles, feeling too ashamed to admit his inability to support them. After the murders, he tried to blame his wife, claiming she killed the two oldest children, forcing him to kill her-demonstrating a chilling similarity in motives and behavior to other family annihilators.
