My Take
I want to be plain: this entry exists as documentation, not celebration. Robert William Fisher has been a fugitive since April 2001, wanted for allegedly killing his wife and two children and destroying their Scottsdale home in a deliberate explosion. What unsettles me most is the ordinariness of the resume that precedes it — Navy service, firefighting, work in medicine — a life that gave no public warning of what investigators allege followed. A quarter century on, the case remains unresolved, and that is precisely why it should not fade from view. If keeping his name searchable contributes anything, let it be the small chance that someone, someday, recognizes him.
