In December 2001 the bodies of two young children were found in the waters of Lint Slough in Oregan. Days later the bodies of a woman and another child were found less than a mile away. Mary Jane Longo and her children Zachary, Sadie and Madison had been found dead and their husband and father Christian Longo was nowhere to be found. Put on the FBI’s Most Wanted list Christian Longo was found and arrested in Mexico where he was using a false name of Michael Finkel who was an American journalist. A killer who denied his crimes until the end, Christian Longo killed his whole family in cold blood to cover up his many failings.
The core of this episode delves into the abyss of one man's unthinkable crimes. This narrative isn't just about Christian Longo's unfathomable decision to murder his family and flee, but also about honouring the memory of Mary Jane and her children.
This is the story of Mary Jane, Zachary, Sadie and Madison Longo.
