Beskrivning

For true crime readers obsessed with learning the full story, get the book that Publishers Weekly calls a "stirring account," and says, "dogged reporting and expert pacing make this a good bet for true crime fans."At daybreak on January 6, 1986, a couple on a camping trip in the Mojave Desert set out for a stroll and never returned. The local sheriff eventually discovered that Barry and Louise Berman had been murdered. As years passed and the double homicide remained unsolved, the Berman case spawned speculation and conjecture. To date there’s never been an arrest in the case—let alone a conviction. This is the first book to tell the full story of the Berman murders and uncover a likely suspect.

The 1986 murders of Barry and Louise Berman in the Mojave Desert remains unsolved. Countless theories, including alien abduction, have been mentioned in the speculation as to what happened to the couple, who were in the area on a camping trip. Attorney and journalist Kari, in his first book, presents a theory that could help solve the case once and for all. He probes whether an encounter with former U.S. Marine Corps captain Michael Pepe on the same day they went missing led to the Bermans’ deaths. Readers will learn more about that chance meeting, the link between Pepe and a Cambodian sex-trafficking ring. Readers should expect graphic descriptions of the crimes. For true-crime fans who want to be taken through the details, the theories, and every piece of evidence of the Berman murders case.
