Despite some of the disappointments in last week’s election, I’m grateful to be an American--- because of religious liberty. America must always remain free.

Born in Pasadena, California, on 1 August, 1936, William Bradford Bishop Jr. earned an American studies degree in Yale University before receiving a Master’s Degree in Italian in Middlebury College in Vermont. He married his high school sweetheart, Annette Wels, and the duo went on to have three sons. Bishop joined the army where he became a Foreign Service Officer. He was able to speak four foreign languages fluently.
On the 1st of March, 1976, Bishop discovered that he wasn’t getting the promotion he had been anticipating at the State Department in Washington D.C. He quickly left, claiming he felt ill, and went to a local bank and lifted out several hundred dollars. From there, he went to Sears and purchased a sledgehammer and a gas van which he filled with gas at a service station nearby. He then went to a local hardware store and purchased a shovel and pitchfork. By the time he returned it was 8PM and his children - aged 5, 10 and 14 - were in bed.
Lifting the sledgehammer from his car, he first of all bludgeoned his wife to death. He waited for his mother to return from walking the dog and bashed her across the head with the blunt object. Then he went upstairs and murdered his three sons. Bishop placed the bodies of his family in his car and drove 275 miles to swampland off North Carolina Highway 94. He buried them in a shallow grave and set the bodies alight. Bishop then disappeared.
In 2014, he was placed on the FBI’s most wanted and reported sightings of him have popped up worldwide. Some even believe he remained in California after the brutal murders. Bishop was, and still may be, an avid outdoors-man. He enjoyed camping and hiking as well as canoeing, fishing, swimming, and jogging. He is a licensed amateur pilot who learned to fly while posted in Botswana, Africa. He was described as being 6'1" and weighing 180 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a six-inch vertical scar on his lower back.
Despite and exhaustive and expansive search, William Bradford Bishop Jr. has never been found,
