It was noticed that he took care of his wife and children, he even managed to be the coach of his four children’s different sports teams that was located in the Kansas City area. What was also shocking was that John was also a Sunday school teacher as hard as it may be to believe this man also volunteered as a Scoutmaster.
Tony Rizzo, who is a former reporter at The Kansas City Star said that:”He didn’t look dangerous. He looked like this mild-mannered, grandfatherly guy. He looked like he could be, you know, the clerk at the, at the drugstore.” Mark Morris, who was another former reporter at The Kansas City Star stated: “He had this long, long career as this, this con man. … He would pilfer stamps from, from an employer or money from a potato chip company up in Liberty.” “If there was a way to, to con somebody, John E. Robinson had already thought it through.”
John’s Life As A Criminal
Behind the facade of a family man laid a twisted secret as to who John really was. The man was a criminal he was arrested and sent to prison in 1987 for fraud and ended up coming out in 1993.

See How He Managed To Kill Women
In 1984,The serial killer John E. Robinson had put out a help-wanted advertisement in a local newspaper for a sales representative job. A young woman by the name of Paula Godfrey had applied and gotten hired at a young age 19-year-old. The police later revealed that, John Robinson had told the young Paula she would be traveling to Texas for some training. But then, Paula Godfrey disappeared.
Joyce Singular who was a contributor to the novel “Anyone You Want Me to Be” said that: “Her father confronted John Robinson, who totally said, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ All of a sudden, these letters started appearing, signed by his daughter saying, ‘Oh, I’m OK. I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about me.”
Later when Paula had disappeared, he returned back and said he had started an outreach program for women in the area.
Sharon Turner-Jackson, a former social worker went on to say that “After Christmas, he called again and talked to me about this young lady that he had gotten from a women’s shelter in Kansas City. He said he met with her and she had agreed to go to the program with him,”.
The woman in question was apparently another 19-year-old named Lisa Stasi. Other social workers by the name of Gaddis and Turner-Jackson stated that they had been very suspicious of Robinson’s need to find Lisa and her baby. He successfully found them and not long after Lisa disappeared as well. Her family was worried and were surprised when they got a call from her crying and saying that she had sign four papers and she didn’t know what they meant.
Her mother told ABC news in an interview that:
“I said, ‘Don’t sign nothing.’ And she was just a crying and then she finally settled down and she says, ‘Here they come now,’ she said. And she hung up. And that was the last time I heard from her,”
This was the last they had heard from Lisa Stasi and her daughter and they were never found. Her parents were later sent a typewritten letter which they were supposed to assume came from their daughter. The letter stated: “I want to thank you for all your help. I’ve decided to get away from this area and try to make a good life for me and Tiffany.”
How Did He Get Caught
It was quite shocking that this criminal did not get arrested after the first two women got missing but when the pattern continued, the police got curious and began an investigation that later led to his arrest and sentencing.
Before his arrest he had succeeded in killing 8 women.
What did the police discover in his house?
the police successfully searched his barn and nothing prepared them for the horror they witnessed. The dogs they had taken along had smelled a something that was around some trash outside of Robinson’s trailer. There, police found some barrels.
“As Sgt. Roth was rolling the barrel out, it fell. Then when it fell, a thin line came down the side and you know, it was just a thin red line. And this fly went ‘boop’ and landed on that red line, and we knew right then and there that that’s, that’s blood,” Brown said.
“Once we looked in there, we saw who we believed was Suzette Trouten,” Roth said. “Then the second barrel was all of a sudden very interesting and opened that up. There was a second body in that one and we immediately thought, Izabela Lewcka.”
Stephen Singular, the author said.
“They have about a little over $1,000 from the government to live on, plus food stamps. They’re in pretty desperate straits. John says, ‘Come on out here. I’ll take care of you. I’ll take Debbie.’ They pack up. They drive out to the Kansas City area, and he connects her to a post office box in Olathe where her subsidies will come. … Suddenly they’re gone. And nobody really knows where they are, but the checks keep coming in. He will pull $80,000 plus out of that mailbox over the next few years,”
