William Bradford Bishop Jr.
Around noon on Monday, March 8, 1976, a resident of a Bethesda neighborhood called police because she was concerned about the lack of activity at 8103 Lilly Stone Drive. The neighbor had not seen anyone at the home for approximately one week. When Montgomery County Police officers arrived and entered the residence, they found a gruesome, bloody crime scene in several rooms of the home. Officers also noted that the family car, a maroon 1974 Chevrolet station wagon, was missing from the driveway. Strangely, there were no bodies to go with all of the mess.
It turns out that he told his secretary that he wasn't feeling good and said that he was going to the clinic. Instead, he went to the hardware store and purchased a ball-peen hammer. That was his last day working there. Bishop had murdered his mother, Lobelia Bishop, age 68; his wife, Annette Bishop, age 37; and his three sons, William, age 14, Brenton, age 10, and Geoffrey, age 5, using the hammer when he got home. His golden retriever was the only family member that was spared.
He then piled everyone into the car and drove to North Carolina. There he drove to a deep part in the woods and dug a whole. He laid his victims in the whole, poured gasoline on them and then set them on fire. On March 2, 1976, a forest worker noticed smoke. He to see what was going on and there was 5 mostly burned bodies. After calling the cops and a lot of investigating, they figured out who the bodies were and what happened to them. But today, Bishop and his dog still remain unfound.
