North Carolina woman Kathy Gillcrist has been searching for her birth parents since 2017. Through Susan Gilmour, her third cousin on her biological mother's side, she was able to get a lead on the identity of her birth father, which was confirmed via DNA testing.

Gillcrist recalls getting the news about her biological father, asking her cousin, "Is it somebody famous?" Well, in a way, he was.

Gillcrist's father was identified as William Bradford Bishop Jr., a man currently wanted by the FBI for murder! In 1976, Bishop killed his mother, wife, and three sons after not receiving a job promotion he sought.

After discovering the news, Gillcrist couldn't help but laugh. She told Fox News, "I was raised by people with a great sense of humor ... and I laughed. Of course that's why he's famous ... he was a murderer."

Bishop, whose whereabouts remain unknown, should be considered armed and extremely dangerous with suicidal tendencies, according to the FBI.
