Unraveling the Mojave Desert's Most Mysterious Unsolved Crime

True Crime

Date Published: March 5th 2024

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield

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’s office 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. Despite extensive investigation by local and federal authorities, to date there’s never been an arrest made in the case – let alone a conviction. But this doesn’t mean the crime is unsolvable.

After years of investigation, research, and interviews, Kari was able to link the Berman murders to a Cambodian sex crimes and trafficking case involving a former Marine. This is the first book to tell the full story of the Berman murders and uncover the likely suspect.

Review

True crime is always extra eerie as we get a story that actually happened. Diving into the investigation and how secrets were uncovered is always interesting while also being quite sad for me.

The author did a great job of taking a step back and be true to the crime and steps taken to uncover things even though it was a long time and many false hopes.

This book succeeds in laying out the research and the case and giving a possible outcome. It's well-researched and easy to follow. Fascinating to say the least, and quite sad that the case is still unsolved.
