Where Is Robert Fisher? Page #3

---

- Now police believe Robert

Fisher is on the run tonight

and that he may be dangerous.

When they went through the

charred remains of the home,

they found a number of weapons.

But one they didn't

find was a .357 Magnum,

the gun that police said

Robert Fisher carried with him

at all times.

So they're considering

him armed and dangerous.

- That bullet that they found

in the back of her head,

was that linked to

any of the weapons

in the house that was--

- No, no.

Nope, none of the weapons

that we found in the house

were linked to that bullet.

It's a specific

caliber of bullet.

So, more than likely

took it with him.

- Literally, the whole

valley was watching.

There was that sort

of shared initial

introduction to this story,

that made sort of

everybody involved.

- There was a huge public

interest in this case.

Very rarely is there such

an appetite for a story

from the public that continues

year after year after year.

But this was one of them.

- It's one of the great

unanswered stories

in Arizona history.

What happened to that family?

Why did he do it?

Where is he?

We just don't know.

(dark ambient music)

(lullaby music)

- [Voiceover] Yeah,

Bobby, new toy, huh?

Oh, he's smiling.

Oh, it's so fun.

(lullaby music)

Bobby.

Bobby, where's your new toy?

- [Voiceover] It's there.

It's there.

There, Mom.

- [Voiceover] Mm.

(haunting lullaby music)

Look up at your dad.

There.

(eerie lullaby music)

(dark eerie music)

- [Voiceover] This is

by far the worst crime

that's every occurred

in Scottsdale.

(dark electronic music)

- Scottsdale is the

Beverly Hills of Phoenix.

A very calm community,

quiet community,

called many times

one of the safest

and most desirable

cities to live in.

(pulsating ambient music)

Crimes like this you don't

see happen here at all.

(pulsating ambient music)

This was an incident

that absolutely shocked

the community,

shocked Scottsdale.

(dark ambient music)

- Mary was our

friend and coworker.

Her children were our

children's friends.

We consider ourselves to

have been double blessed,

to have called her friend

and had the benefit of her

contributions at work.

- Mary was a good friend of mine

before Robert and Mary got

married when they were dating.

(dark ambient music)

Robert was in California, and

Mary was still in Arizona,

so I spent a lot

of time with her.

And I was pregnant with our

first child at that point

so she'd take me to

doctor's appointments

and things like that,

and she was a fun person.

When she had kids

she was very much

involved with her children.

She loved her kids,

and that became her number

one priority in life.

- From the interviews

and things that I did,

Mary was a very dedicated wife.

- A very loving person.

Very dedicated to the church.

And wanted her children to

have that same upbringing.

(eerie ambient music)

Happy birthday dear Brittany

Happy birthday to you

- Brittany, she was an

awesome little girl.

(dark ambient music)

She really loved the Lord,

and she wasn't afraid

to tell people about

her relationship with Christ.

- Back to that bat today.

I'm going to SeaWorld

tomorrow, I'm going.

(dark ambient music)

- My youngest son, Brock,

and Bobby were good buddies.

And Brock invited Bobby

to come home with us

one Sunday afternoon

a couple of weeks ago.

And they played

in the afternoon,

and it came time to

get them back to church

for bell choir.

And I said, well,

boys, we're in luck,

we've got the convertible.

And Bobby was just so

excited, and he said,

"We've got to ride

with the top down."

And I said, are you guys sure?

As we're getting on

the freeway, I said,

are you sure, it's

gonna be really windy.

"Go, go, go, it's okay."

And I'm not kidding, the

whole way down the 101

until we exited on Thomas

those two had their

hands up in the air,

they were waving at people,

and they laughed the whole way.

- The last time we saw Bobby,

before they had

visited us in Cheyenne,

when we were living in Cheyenne,

and he tried to, him and his dad

tried to take one of our cats

and steal it to take

it home with them.

- Hey!

(baby yelping)

- [Robert's Sister] He

was a cute little kid.

(kids chattering)

- [Voiceover] Can't do it

without the tractor, Britt.

There you go.

Little wheelbarrow.

- [Voiceover] There's

no wheelbarrow.

(baby chatters)

Oh He holds the future

And life is worth livin'

Lives, and then one day

- You've heard a lot of things.

And you wanna say, "Well,

how's that Scottsdale Baptist

Church gonna get

along without them?

But you see, God has a plan.

He has a timing for our lives.

And you've heard today

that this was not

something that was yanked

from Mary and

Brittany and Bobby.

God has a plan.

We don't know what it is.

But I know some day

we're going to know.

(dark ambient music)

You wanna know about my Robert?

He was the greatest dad.

He was the greatest husband.

I miss him.

I miss him terribly.

I miss him almost as much

as I miss my daughter,

because they were one.

Robert was what I call the

good old-fashioned Dad.

There was structure.

He never beat his kid,

he never touched his

kids in that way.

And I can only tell

you that Robert

loved his kids, he loved

his Mary and he loved us.

And I'm glad I'm not her

bawling my eyes out for ya.

- He was kind of hoodwinked with

who Robert was, he's

marrying his daughter

and grandchildren

thinking, you know,

he's the perfect family man.

(dark ambient music)

- You have to listen

to your mommy,

number one, okay?

- Okay.

- Whatever she says.

Number two, gotta

brush your teeth, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay?

Number three, you gotta

take your vitamins, okay?

Okay, what else.

Number four, you gotta

say your prayers, okay?

(Brittany mumbles)

Okay.

- He couldn't believe

what occurred.

(dark ambient music)

But as time went on, he realized

that Robert did do this.

(eerie ambient music)

- A total, total

shock to the family

that this could even

possibly happen to them.

He wanted answers as well.

And unfortunately he passed away

before we could get 'em for him.

(eerie ambient music)

- At first glance, Robert

Fisher was a good husband,

an adoring father,

a church-going man,

a wonderful employee,

but when you look

a little bit further,

you see that none

of that is true.

- My impression of

the Fisher marriage

was something that

was good in public

and probably average

or bad in private.

(pulsating ambient music)

I think that when they went out,

they went out, they

put a good face on.

Everyone until the end said that

they had a happy marriage.

That everything seemed

to be going right.

(pulsating ambient music)

- He moved back in

the mid to late '80s

next door to my parents' house.

He definitely was a

different sort of man.

(pulsating eerie music)

He was a nurse,

he worked for the Mayo

Clinic in Scottsdale.

He was obviously a smart man,
