Arizona Horror-DEVIL Robert Fisher Blew Up His Family & Disappeared

FBI Removes Robert Fisher From Top 10 Most Wanted List

It's a heinous part of Arizona's history. A family found dead after their Scottsdale home blew up in 2001.
The only suspect in their murders? The family's father and husband, Robert Fisher, who hasn't been definitively seen since the night before the home explosion.
Scottsdale police and the FBI still receive tips every week, but nothing's ever panned out.
Why Arizona Fugitive Robert Fisher Was Removed From FBI Ten Most Wanted List
After 20 years, Arizona fugitive Robert Fisher has still not been located, but he has been removed from the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
The FBI Phoenix Field Office said Wednesday that Fisher remains at large, but he no longer fits the criteria for the famous list.
One of the criteria for being on the list is that publicity will help locate and capture the subject. Since his disappearance in 2001, there have been no confirmed sightings of the fugitive, who is accused of killing his family and blowing up their Scottsdale home.
"Because the extensive publicity Fisher’s case received during its nearly 20 years on the list has not resulted in his successful location and/or capture, the case no longer fulfills that requirement," the FBI said in a statement.
The investigation will continue, the FBI said.
Fisher would now be 60 years old, if he's still alive.
He is accused of murdering his 38-year-old wife, Mary, and two children, 12-year-old Brittney and 10-year-old Bobby, in their beds. All three had their throats slashed. Mary had a bullet in her head.
Police believe Fisher, a former firefighter, then rigged their Scottsdale home to catch fire to cover up the crimes. The victims were found after crews extinguished the flames on April 10, 2001.
A neighbor told police she heard Robert and Mary Fisher arguing around 10 p.m., the night before the fire, and Robert Fisher was last photographed later that evening, at 10:45 p.m., at an ATM a half-mile from the family's house.
Police believe he may have been on his way out of town after killing his family, though it's possible he returned to commit the murders after visiting the ATM. Video from the bank shows the family's Toyota 4Runner in the background, and Fisher appears to be alone.
He has been missing ever since. Ten days later, the vehicle he was driving was found abandoned in the forest east of Payson. Authorities found Fisher’s dog, Blue, a 2-year-old Queensland Heeler mix, nearby.
The FBI put Fisher on the Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on June 29, 2002. Inclusion on the list isn't scientific. The FBI chooses fugitives based on two main factors:
The person must be dangerous or have a record of serious crimes, and the FBI must believe nationwide publicity will help find the suspect. Those factors helped put Fisher on the list.
