Beskrivelse

On March 1st, 1976, the quiet neighborhood of Carderock Springs was rattled after a concerned citizen realized their neighbors hadn’t been seen in over a week. They requested for police to check on the family, as it was unusual for the Bishops to lay so low — they were known for being avid outdoors people, after all. When police arrived at the Bishop household, they discovered a grisly scene... a trail of blood traced from the front door to the driveway, and inside the house was evidence of a brutal attack – but the Bishop family was nowhere to be found.  About two weeks later, the family's station wagon was discovered abandoned along the North Carolina / Tennessee border, at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park... almost 500 miles away from their driveway in Bethesda, MD. The father of the missing family, former highly-regarded US Government Foreign Service Officer William Bradford Bishop, Jr., seemed to have vanished into thin air – prompting the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Rockville, MD to charge him with murder in March of 1976 and later, the FBI to place him on their Most Wanted list [https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/murders/william-bradford-bishop-jr]. Now 86 years old, he is still considered armed and extremely dangerous – and possibly even an international fugitive.
