[Mary Fisher] What's today, Brittney?
My birthday.
[Mary] Your birthday!
How old are you?
[encouraging] Four years old?
Let me see what a four-year-old looks like.
Where we gonna go today?
Um...
At the bus.
[Mary] To the park.
And who's gonna be there?
You and me.
And all my friends.
[Mary] All your friends!
Ah! Hit on it. Just throw it.
[child singing]
[Brittney Fisher] I need...
[children exclaiming]
This park is right in between
where the Fishers lived and where we lived.
My daughter, Malory, and Brittney
were in kindergarten or first grade together.
And our families became good friends.
Robert and Mary...
...they were just the nicest people.
We had our own relationship outside of the kids.
On a weekend we'd go to lunch,
go swimming, we'd go to a baseball game.
Just spending time.
Letting the kids play.
This is the park where we'd have the kids' birthday parties.
[woman] Woah, good one!
[child] My turn!
Candyland game!
[Lori Greenbeck] They were a part of our lives for so many years.
[crowd singing] Happy birthday to you!
[phone dialing]
[emergency responder] 911 emergency.
[man] 74 street and Oak.
There was just an explosion...
...and a fire.
[emergency responder] Can you see it?
[man] Big fire. You bet I can see it.
[phone dialing]
[woman] It's... It's a big fire.
It's a really big fire. Behind it just, like, blew up.
The whole house is burning up.
[opening theme playing]
[Lori Greenbeck] I was still at home.
And my husband was at the office...
...and he called,
and he said, "Have you heard from Mary this morning?"
I'm like, "No."
He said, "Well, have you seen on the TV?"
And I did happen to have the TV on.
[reporter] Well, we're, uh, up over this house--
[Greenbeck] And he said, "That's Mary's house."
I thought, "Oh, my gosh.
She is gonna be having the worst day ever."
[John Heinzelman] About 8:30 in the morning on April 10th,
Scottsdale police received several 911 calls of an explosion.
A house was fully engulfed.
[siren wailing]
The neighborhood is sort of a single-family,
uh, small, maybe three-bedroom ranch homes.
Houses are relatively close together,
so we've gotta keep this contained.
[emergency responder speaking]
[man speaking]
[woman speaking]
[sirens wailing]
[Phil Rust] This was not like your typical...
...gas explosion that maybe involves a part of a house.
This was huge.
It's a home that's still burning.
There's rubble everywhere.
The home is... half of it's collapsed.
Walls are blown out.
[Joe LeDuc] I do remember looking at the scene.
There was a lot of anxiety. People were gathering.
It was a... very daunting, almost surreal scene.
[Heinzelman] It's dramatic devastation.
What happened here? Was this an accident?
Was this a gas leak? Was this something else?
And your first thing you try to do is find the homeowner
to say "Okay, who lives here and where are they?"
Because if they're not out here...
...they're still inside.
[reporter] The house completely engulfed in flames.
As we were able to, uh... to speak with some of the neighbors,
we discovered that, um, the home was owned by a... a young family,
Robert and Mary Fisher, and their two children, Brittney and Bobby.
Brittney was about 12 at the time, and Bobby was about 10.
[Greenbeck] I was in shock.
I said, "Ok, well, I'll be right there.
And we'll go down, you know."
So, my husband and I went down to her house.
And it was still smoldering.
and by this time, there's a little crowd gathering.
And, you know, there was all the police and firefighters.
Very shortly after that Mary's parents arrived.
They had called the school,
and Bobby and Brittney aren't at school.
And nobody knows where Robert and Mary are.
The detective came out
and said, "Well we've... we've found some bodies."
You know, so I was... I was in shock.
I was in complete shock.
Somebody was home?
I was just beside myself, and I knew I was just gonna...
...collapse.
I mean, I look at my husband
and he's, like... he's like welling up.
[crying] It was terrible.
[strained] Yeah.
[Hugh Lockerby] I've been on a lot of different fires over my career,
and the smell of fire...
...and burning bodies um, is just something that you just never forget.
It never leaves you, it... it just doesn't.
And you can't really distinguish these bodies.
You just... You couldn't at the time.
A lot of unknowns.
So it's gonna be a long day.
[Greenbeck] This is the last picture anybody has of 'em.
Yeah, this is how I remember 'em.
They were a sweet little family.
Mary had a deep faith, Robert as well.
And the kids were raised that way.
Robert was always friendly, he could talk to anybody.
He had a great relationship with the kids.
[Robert Fisher] Hey, listen to it! Put it up to your ear and listen.
[children exclaiming]
[Greenbeck] And Mary, she just wanted to be a wife and a mother...
...raise her kids.
She was very pretty.
And her personality...
[chuckles] ...made her prettier.
[crying] Yeah, that's hard.
[Heinzelman] Once the remains were removed from the house...
...they were determined...
...to be three bodies.
One of the family members was missing.
DNA is obviously in its early infancy,
so another way of identifying people is through dental records.
So we're waiting for the dentist to make a positive identification.
There is Robert's truck that was in the driveway.
But the neighbors had also said Mary's 4Runner is missing.
I mean, he never drives her... her 4Runner, she never drives his truck.
So it had to be Robert that was home.
I remember calling our supervisor at the time,
and I remember her being very emotional on the phone and very upset.
And she was crying and she said,
"You know, we think that Bob's been killed."
At the scene, the detective thought maybe they died from smoke inhalation.
Then once they removed their bodies...
...that's when they knew something more horrific had happened.
There was blood on the mattresses
underneath each of the three victims.
So, they appeared to have been bleeding
probably before the fire had started.
I remember the detective saying...
...you know, like...
..."We got a homicide now."
They found that the flex line that supplies the natural gas to the furnace
had been not broken but physically unscrewed.
Now that cannot be accidental.
That just cannot be.
Someone had left this gas line open
and allowed the house to fill with gas.
The ignition device...
...appears to be a candle that was placed at the end of the hallway...
...near the bedrooms.
It's what they call a delay device.
'Cause...
...if you're setting something like this up,
you... you wanna make sure you have an escape route.
It would take several hours for the natural gas to get to the ignition source.
So that when the natural gas...
...eventually migrated to that end of the house...
...it would ignite.
This is just not your normal homicide scene,
this is one where you have fire that's been introduced as a means to cover it up.
I remember thinking, "You've got to be kidding me."
I thought it was a tragic accident.
I would've bet my pension on it,
I would've bet my life on it.
What ended up happening...
...there's no way I would've imagined that.
We were just trying to...
...hold out hope that somebody's made it.
And they're still lookin' for Mary.
Mary always drive the silver 4Runner.
Why is Robert's truck still here?
So we need to find Mary, where is she?
Everybody's thinking "Mary's gonna walk in the door any minute."
The victims, they were identified
as Bobby Fisher, Brittney Fisher...
...and their mother, Mary Fisher.
Bobby Junior and Brittney...
...they did not die from the fire.
They died from their throats being cut and slashed.
Mary also had a gunshot wound to the back of her head.
[Heinzelman] This was a brutal attack.
This was somebody calculated and somebody that's got a motive.
Who else could walk into, uh, someone's house
and literally slash throats of children while they're asleep?
It's, uh... it's unimaginable.
Say hi!
[Mary] You know who's missing out of this picture?
Daddy!
-Daddy, baby. -Daddy.
[Greenbeck] Oh, my god.
Robert, he was gonna be devastated.
He lost his entire family...
...his entire family in one day.
And he wasn't there.
He wasn't there to help,
to save his kids...
...to save his wife,
He was going to be completely beside himself.
-[Mary] Hello. -[Robert] See you, Mom.
[kissing sounds]
Be back Sunday mornin'.
[Heinzelman] Where is Robert Fisher?
We need to find him as quick as possible.
We had learned that Robert was, um, an avid outdoorsman.
He was a hunter, a fisher.
He could live by himself off the grid.
Maybe he's on a hunting trip in the woods, for example,
camping for three days and didn't have any cell service.
[Robert] Buh-bye, baby!
[Mary] Bye, Rob.
Be safe.
[Brittney] Buh-bye!
[Mary] Love you.
[Brittney] Dada.
We need to find him and tell him what happened here.
[Lockerby] We need to make sure that he's okay.
Was he involved in something else
that someone took him hostage or kidnapped him?
Is there something else going on?
[Greenbeck] He did go, you know, hunting.
And he did go by himself a lot.
So, it wasn't unusual that he would be gone.
But we were determined to find him.
Mary's father, uh, really big hearted man,
a day, or two days, after went and spoke to the cameras.
[shaking] Robert.
We love you.
Wherever you are, Robert...
...please...
...we... we love you.
Just... Just come home, please, Robert.
[Lockerby] We all interviewed people that lived near the Fishers.
Talking with the neighbors, Robert always drove the truck.
Detective's learn that he had, even, recently gotten his oil changed.
So... why is Robert's truck still here?
Why wouldn't he leave in his own truck that he was comfortable in?
My husband and I, we get back to our office and not 10 minutes later...
...Scottsdale detectives walk in the door.
And they start asking questions like,
"Where do you think Robert could be?"
And we're like, "Oh, my god,
They think Robert did it."
It was just one shock after another.
There's no way it was Robert.
No way. No way.
He... [stutters] There's an explanation for this.
Something else happened.
This is our friend.
Mary would be mortified
if she thought we thought something like that about Robert.
Officers, detectives, interviewed all the neighbors
that lived in that neighborhood.
And what they learn is the Fishers are a very typical
church-going family.
Kids are... are good kids.
Mama.
[Lockerby] They seem to be just a normal family.
We learn that he was in the Navy.
He tried for the Navy SEALS, and got washed out.
He had been a firefighter previously.
He had had back surgery from an injury when he was a firefighter
Sometimes he'd be in a lot of pain.
And sometimes he wouldn't be.
But he walked with an upright walk.
He had distinct posture.
His chest was sticking out.
He had some back surgery scars.
And he also had some dental work.
He was missing a tooth, he actually had a gold tooth.
Detectives eventually go to Robert's work
which is the Mayo Hospital in north Scottsdale.
Bob, as he went by, was very much the go-to guy in the Cath lab.
Um, he was... he was adored by the nurses there.
I would frequently see him reading the bible
in a locker area where people change
on a small bench in the corner.
Everybody liked him.
But, for the most part, he was kinda quiet.
He didn't really say a lot.
I mean, I couldn't see Bob Fisher
going to a bar and getting in a shoving match with some other guy.
I couldn't see him cheating on his taxes.
[crowd singing] Happy birthday to you!
[crowd cheering]
[Mary] Good girl!
That was good!
Yeah, let's do it again.
[Lockerby] We're trying to track down every single lead
Then the detectives, they come across somebody that says...
..."Mary disclosed to me that Robert had an extramarital affair."
Get him out of here.
[LeDuc] When he told Mary about his infidelity...
...I think the timeframe was...
...about two years prior to two and a half years.
He was suicidal.
He actually made suicidal comments
and then went out into the wilderness.
He returned about four days later
and they reconciled and now...
...here's a new Robert Fisher.
[laughing]
All right, give him a hug. Give both of them a hug.
[Mary] Is that a nice puppy?
-Lick her! -[exclaims]
Oh, my god, you can.
Aww, there, that's sweet.
You're strange for a little Spike.
Yo, it's clear you good.
[Mary] You did pick a mellow one for them, Robert.
[Greenbeck] Mary had faith in Robert.
She had faith in their marriage.
And her family was her priority.
She would never speak poorly of Robert.
But at the time, without her saying he had cheated on her,
I knew that he had... he had an affair.
She said that she could forgive him,
but he had to make some changes.
He was devastated by his parents divorcing,
and he said...
...there would never be a divorce in his family.
He was really trying to be a good dad,
and spend time with his kids and pay attention to his wife.
You know, it really looked like...
...they were going in the right direction.
That he was doing the right thing.
You've got detectives interviewing these people
saying, "Hey, we don't think he did this."
And maybe... maybe, you know,
are were going down the wrong course?
But we still need to find him and talk to him.
It is frustrating. Where is he?
We were at a point where we were saying to ourselves,
"We cannot catch a solid break in this."
And then we discovered ATM video at 10:30
the night of the homicide,
shows Robert withdrawing money from a cash machine.
And in the background of that video...
...is Mary's 4Runner.
This is, uh, where the kids went to school together.
Our daughters had sleepovers, and were in the same class.
Mary was very involved.
She was always volunteering at the school.
When our kids became of age to be little brownies,
she started the Girl Scout troop.
[Mary] What's that you're wearin'?
Hobby badge!
[Mary] Hobby badge?
[Greenbeck] I just remember Mary on rainy days
would drive up here, pull up to the front of the school
and they would all pile in her car.
She would have protected those kids...
...at all costs.
There was something there and I didn't catch it.
It was just too unbelievable.
Why would he run off? Why is he hiding?
That's when everything I thought changed.
[Lockerby] Detectives saw that footage
withdrawing $260,
the max amount that he could at the time.
It was extremely important,
because it put Robert in a time and place at a certain location
the night of the murders.
We would suspect that if he was being taken
against his will or being robbed,
that you would see somebody else in the car or next to him.
There's really no indication of that, but...
We did speak with a neighbor,
and the neighbor described to us a very loud argument
the night of the triple murder.
Both parties in the argument were very passionate and loud.
She was no pushover.
Mary was no pushover.
I mean, he had to toe the line or he was out of there.
[LeDuc] And that's what led to our theory that Mary
might have just been about fed up
and wanted to get a divorce.
Robert had specific conversations with friends
saying, "I will never allow a divorce to occur in my family.
That's just not gonna happen."
And he didn't say it in a way that he would try and work it out.
It was always with an air of sinister intent to it.
[Greenbeck] I mean, I knew he was a little arrogant.
He was a little cocky.
He was a little, uh, king of the castle.
You know, and I'm not married to him.
He's not my cup of tea, but Mary seemed to be fine with all that.
Their problems are the same problems
people put up with every day.
I believed they'll talk and they'll work it out.
I absolutely did not know Robert Fisher.
[Mary groans]
There was a safe that he had in his house.
We were able to open that,
and we did find several guns,
including hunting rifles, shotguns,
and there was at least one handgun that was missing.
We also found several family videos
that were shot during birthday parties
and pool parties and things like that.
[girl exclaims]
-Whoo! -[girl] Wow!
Watching all these home videos,
it really does make Robert look
like he's this family man, this father figure.
[Mary] It is Brittney's first time in her new swimming pool.
[Robert humming]
But I think, sometimes, he lets his guard down a little bit,
and you can see in some of the videos,
he's a little bit less than that perfect family man.
[Robert] Say hi. Hi, people.
[Heinzelman] Even his mannerisms, his temper.
He's kinda manhandling Bobby as an infant, a little bit too much.
Oh!
He liked to be the father, but you could see some of him,
he liked to be, um, in charge.
Brittney's looking sharp today.
-[Mary] Let's see. -[Robert] Show 'em your dress.
Turn around.
Turn around again.
Just to show,
"No matter what's happening around me, I'm still in control."
[Robert] Smile.
Smile pretty.
Okay, now scream. Ahhh!
-[Brittney mock screams] -[Robert laughs] Yeah, I knew you could scream.
[Heinzelman] It's almost that indefinable quality
you see, sort of, almost in his eyes, too,
where he just looks right through you, at times.
Um, it's chilling.
Okay, kill the camera.
[Mary] Yeah, just a minute.
-Can you say bye, Brittney? -[Robert] I'm gonna throw something.
-[Brittney] Bye! -[Mary] Let me find the button.
[Mary] Don't! That's medicine, Robert.
I mean, I cannot, to this day, fathom...
...how he could, how he could hurt his kids.
Any kids, but your kids?
Your kids? I mean, just leave.
How selfish can you be?
You're playing God? You're the Almighty?
You get to decide?
It's just crazy to me.
It's crazy.
10 days into this investigation,
these two individuals call the police department
and say, "Hey, outside of a town of Young, Arizona,
a friend of ours saw Robert in the 4Runner."
Arizona Department of Public Safety fly over that area,
and sure enough,
they see, under the pine trees,
the 4Runner.
[female newscaster] Miles away, in the forest near Young, Arizona,
Robert's 4Runner was found with his dog, Blue, next to it.
The car was found in the area
where he and my husband had been camping and quad riding,
just sitting out there by itself.
I'm like, "Oh, my gosh."
[Lockerby] When the detectives arrived,
they found the dog that belonged to the Fisher family
kinda running around the vehicle,
somewhat malnourished, porcupine quills in his nose.
But where is Robert?
The Tonto National Forest is extremely rugged terrain.
As a SWAT team arrives on scene up there,
it's cold, [chuckles] it's starting to snow.
Uh, we're trying to track him.
It's a huge undertaking.
It's easy to see us, but it's hard to see him.
He could be anywhere, including up inside the trees.
There's so many different caves and different places where he could've gone.
He knew that area extremely well.
He's an extremely good outdoorsman.
He knows how to use firearms.
We know for a fact he's got rifles.
Now we become a target.
[male newscaster] The helicopter search of the area spotted footprints
where Fisher's car and dog were found on Friday.
A track has been found leaving the area where the truck was.
It's about a mile or so south of the truck.
That's going down into the main creeks on that side,
over into the reservation area.
Within three-quarters of a mile from the vehicle,
is the Indian reservation.
So, that's a sovereign nation,
so that's no different than going into another country.
But for him,
"They says all I have to do is step over this fence, and I can continue on."
The tracks went down, but there was no tracks coming back out.
So we don't know where this guy went,
or if it was somebody from the reservation.
[Lockerby] Was it another SWAT officer?
Was that somebody else? Was that Fisher?
Did Robert go out into a cave somewhere and kill himself?
Did someone pick him up?
We were 10 days behind the 8 ball,
riding an uphill battle to try to track him.
[Heinzelman] We search the vehicle,
but the 4Runner was empty,
except for a coffee cup, a couple of handwritten notes,
and then the baseball cap that we believe he wore the night of the homicide.
The car was deliberately cleaned out.
There was very little or no evidence.
There wasn't, like, half-packed suitcases or anything like that.
Right outside the vehicle,
there was what appeared to be human feces.
The fact that the dog was there
was sort of a little fork in the road in our investigation.
[Greenbeck] I thought, "How could that dog still be with the car
if nobody was there?"
This was a young dog, still a puppy.
If Robert left on foot, why wasn't he following Robert?
He wasn't tied up.
I mean,
if Robert went somewhere,
did Blue go back to the car just to wait there,
'cause eventually, somebody's gonna come back?
[Lockerby] Now it's back to that theory,
did someone pick him up?
Did someone pick him up not knowing who he was?
Did he kidnap somebody?
I believe he had help.
Someone unknowingly or knowingly helped him get out of that area.
[female newscaster] Police say Robert Fisher might be on the run tonight.
He was gone.
He disappeared.
He basically hot-footed it out of there, I mean...
I just can't imagine he could've went very far.
[Heinzelman] So that became a theory, as to say,
"Well, he in fact did have an accomplice after the fact."
Did he confide in another person
that was close to him what his plans were,
and if so, did that include an escape plan?
So, we worked very hard on that theory
to find if there was another mistress involved.
[Heinzelman] From the beginning,
we put out info asking the public
for help for finding Robert.
We started getting tips and calls from folks all over the place.
One of the tips we received was from a bartender
in Rye, Arizona, the night of the murders,
that a couple came in, a man and a woman,
and she described him as being similar to Robert Fisher.
They appeared to be in some sort of an argument.
There was a little bit of, uh, tension
between the two of them,
and that they only stayed a few minutes and that they left.
Unfortunately, we were never able to positively confirm that that was him.
The best we could come up with is it matches our timeframe.
[Brad Banks] That was huge.
When the FBI chose to put this case
on their Most Wanted list,
he was on some of the national crime programs.
Well, that's where we need you.
This guys has got to be brought back to face justice
for murdering his own family.
I mean, that just kind of illustrated to everyone
how big of a case it really was
and how unusual of a case it really was.
[Lockerby] I mean, I spent days looking at different photos
that people would send to the FBI and send to me,
and we would look at the different photos of them and try to compare it.
We went back and forth, "Is it him? Is it not him?"
After a while, that adrenaline dump
and that roller coaster of emotion does take a drain on you.
[LeDuc] It was so frustrating,
and we're just coming up empty.
The tips were coming in,
but none of them came to anything.
[Brittney exclaims]
-[Mary] Camera, look. -Cut.
Cut.
You see how quiet it is?
It's very quiet up here.
Can hear a pin drop.
I haven't been up here in a long time,
but I'd come up here and I'd camp out,
and I'd sit by my campfire
and I would just kind of try to think about it.
It came to me that, no, he did not try to throw everybody off
and then have an accomplice pick him up and run off together.
What he was doing
was trying to commit suicide
in a location where he didn't wanna be found.
He was trying to destroy his existence
and everything about his existence.
And that's when I began searching for him up where he left his wife's car.
And at least if Mary Fisher's family knew he's dead...
I'm not saying that would make them feel better,
but it does help
when you know where your abuser is,
and they can't hurt you anymore.
Okay, we should catch the fence line road
right about in here somewhere.
Okay, so this divides the, uh, Indian reservation
from the Tonto National Forest.
I just was kinda hoping
that maybe somehow, I would get lucky
and I would stumble across the little place where he went and ended it.
But, uh...
The caves are...
...on the other side of this little hill over here.
Unfortunately, if he concealed himself
inside of some kind of a opening or crevice...
...you wouldn't see him,
and they wouldn't, they would never have known to look there.
But when you walk around here for any length of time,
there's just too much area.
Looking for him,
it just feels hopeless.
[LeDuc] Suicide came up early on in the investigation,
because he had talked about suicide during the infidelity with Mary and whatnot.
And it's an easy theory...
...because we like to think in normal ways.
But killing your family and your spouse is not a normal way,
so you need to put that behind you right away.
There is nothing normal in the thought process.
I don't think that Robert Fisher committed suicide.
I don't think that was in his personality.
I don't think that was his plan.
If the murder was that well-planned,
then escape is gonna be planned, as well.
So that troubled us.
[Lockerby] We really worked a lot of different angles,
talked to a lot of different people,
and then, in 2004,
we received a call from the RCMP
of the Canadian police.
[LeDuc] I remember it vividly.
I was in a training class, in a big classroom,
and the door opened, and we're motioned out by our boss at the time.
And he said, "Hey, listen. I have some very good news.
I think we have him."
The feeling was like Christmas morning.
This is the tip that we've been waiting for.
We receive a call from the Canadian police
that they had Robert Fisher in custody.
They sent us photos, and it looked very similar.
I thought, "Boom. We're gonna see his face on the news tonight.
No doubt about it, gotta be him."
It was crazy. It was, like, the biggest story in town.
I could just see it in my head.
They'd be out there, taking him into custody,
[chuckles] putting the handcuffs on him.
Oh, my gosh.
That person was somebody who had a warrant for them in Canada.
This person resembles Robert Fisher.
He's got a back scar. He has the missing tooth.
For me, that's what makes it.
Immediately, I think it's Robert.
"It's him. I really... It's him.
Finally over, it's finally over."
But the first thing is we need to confirm that definitely was him.
It takes a while to do comparisons with DNA and fingerprints.
So one of the things we needed to do to confirm
was to try and get somebody
who knew him eyes-on.
Uh, so there was a plan that was choreographed
where we would take somebody who had seen and known Robert Fisher
and book them into that jail,
so they would have the occasion to see each other face-to-face.
And this person saw him in the booking area
and said, "That's him!
That's absolutely, unequivocally, that's him."
And then, the fingerprints didn't match.
It ended up not being him.
It was a state of denial for a little while,
says, "No, something is wrong. It's him!
His friend said it was him.
How could this be..."
And that was a real, real big letdown.
That family deserves justice. They truly do.
Robert, my son-in-law, who I love deeply.
Who's with him? Nobody's ever reported that.
I don't even know how they got through that.
I just feel like you would lose your mind.
The fact that, you know, a part of your family,
somebody that you'd accepted as your son, could've done this.
I don't, I don't, uh...
Yeah.
[crying] Anyway, I'll just say this.
Robert, we love you.
Wherever you are, Robert...
Please. [sobs] We under... We love you.
He almost said, "We understand."
Please. [sobs] We under... We love you.
[chuckling] And he stopped himself.
Yeah, that was heartbreaking.
I think he knew, yeah. I think he knew there.
He was trying to convince Robert to come back,
that, you know, things could be okay.
This could be explained.
Give Robert the hope that he could come make up some story, and...
...somebody's gonna buy it.
But no, he knew there.
There's just something about a helpless child...
...being harmed by an adult.
Especially their own parent.
That just terribly upsets me, to this day.
And I have known quite a few Robert Fishers in my life.
I met quite a number of them.
This matters.
Even though it's been 20 years, this matters.
Those kids' friends,
they still think about Brittney and Bobby.
They think about them.
I guarantee it. They think about them.
[voice shaking] Upset...
I believe that Robert Fisher was able to reassimilate into society,
start over with a new family,
and is living his life as another normal citizen,
disguised in plain sight.
And we have to be looking for what age progression would look like,
not what he looked like at the time of the crime.
[Banks] I literally keep waiting for the day
that something comes out, that they found him.
Oh, it'd be awesome,
if they find him and they drag him out
and they put him on the TV.
I wanna know where the hell he's been.
[Robert] Yeah, I'll play with you.
Yeah, I'll play with you.
[Brittney babbles]
[Robert laughs]
-[Brittney] Ah! Ah! -[Robert] Ah!
[Lockerby] There's people out there that know
that this person is Robert Fisher,
and we need somebody to come forward.
Looking at the photos today,
it's hard to really not personalize it.
We're trying to find him and trying to figure out why he did it, so...
We are going to track down every single lead,
and we will find him at some point.
Someday, we will find him.
[Heinzelman] We still get tips on at least a weekly basis,
and I would say, uh,
I'll take two or three a week.
We've had some tips that, uh, that we thought were pretty good,
that we sent some agents down to investigate.
But we've never had one confirmed sighting
that says, "Definitely, this is him."
[Greenbeck] I still get contact from people
who send me pictures and, "Do you think this could be Robert Fisher?"
I'm like, [sighs]. I mean, out of nowhere.
I mean, most of the pictures I look at, I'm pretty sure it's not him.
But I never wanna say, "That's not him,"
because what if it is?
Nobody wants to see him get away.
Nobody wants to see him get away with it.
Robert does not deserve to be living a life
when he took three.
He does not deserve anything good on Earth.
I hope he's dead.
If he's alive,
let's catch him.
