About the book
"On December 14, 1955, Darrel Parker arrived at his Lincoln, Nebraska, home to find his wife, Nancy, strangled to death. Abandoning other potential leads, the police quickly focused their investigation on the grieving husband. What followed was a tragic miscarriage of justice. Barbarous Souls tells the story of Darrel Parker's wrongful conviction for Nancy's murder and the decades-long struggle to clear his name. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with those involved in the case. Lincoln native David L Strauss weaves a shocking true crime story with an exposT of still prevalent methods of interrogation-methods that can lead to false confessions and the conviction of innocent suspects. To make their case against Parker, the authorities relied on a manipulative interrogation by polygraph operator John Reid of Chicago. Reid's company, John E. Reid & Associates, founded in 1947, today provides interviewing and interrogation techniques that it claims are the most widely used in the world."--Page 4 of cover.
