In January of 1986, a husband and wife disappeared in the isolated wilderness of California’s Mojave Desert. Barry, an heir to a liquor fortune, set out with his carefree and counterculture wife, Louise, for an excursion to Saline Valley. The couple drove off and away from their oasis campsite, only to never be seen again. Three years later a flashflood washed away layers of earth, bringing to the surface the remains of Barry and Louise.
Investigative journalist and author Doug Kari lays out the cold case mystery of Barry and Louise and details the many twists and turns in the investigation as detailed in his new book, The Berman Murders.
