Bloody Lies: A CSI Scandal in the Heartland (Black Squirrel Booksy) Audible – Unabridged ridged
Author: John Ferak ID: B012CBL3NM
The remote farming community of Murdock, Nebraska, seemed to be the least likely setting for one of the heartland’s most ruthless and bloody double murders in decades. In fact the little town had gone more than a century without a single homicide. But on the night of Easter 2006, Wayne and Sharmon Stock were brutally murdered in their home. The murders garnered sensational front-page headlines and drew immediate statewide attention. Practically everybody around Murdock was filled with fear, panic, and outrage. Who killed Wayne and Sharmon Stock? What was the motive? The Stocks were the essence of Nebraska’s all-American farm family – self-made, God-fearing, and of high moral character. Barely a week into this double murder investigation, two arrests brought a sense of relief to the victims’ family and to local residents. The case appeared to fall neatly into place when a tiny speck of murder victim Wayne Stock’s blood appeared in the alleged getaway car. Then an obscure clue left at the crime scene took the investigation down a totally different path, stretching into Iowa, Louisiana, New York, Texas, and Wisconsin. By the time this investigation was over, the charges against the original suspects were dismissed, and two new individuals emerged from the shadows. Over the next few years, the astonishing bloody lies were revealed, culminating in a law enforcement scandal that turned the case on its head and destroyed the career of Nebraska’s celebrated CSI director, David Kofoed. The book is published by The Kent State University Press.
Done.

What a tragedy for everyone. First and foremost, the Stock children and grandchildren, who lost the patriarch and matriarch of their family. Matt Livers and Nick Sampson, who were the victims of an overzealous police department and an unethical CSI. I hope both of them are doing well. While I have no sympathy for Jessica Reid and Gregory Fester, they threw their lives away because of their poor choices, which is sad. As far as David Kofoed, he lost his career, custody of his daughter, and left every case he ever worked on open to scrutiny, all because he wanted to be a hero. Worse, he was willing to say nothing while two innocent men went to prison or the electric chair, which is unforgivable.
Author John Ferak has done a magnificent job of cataloging the greatest failures in the history of Nebraska Law Enforcement when inexperienced and inept local deputies joined forces with arrogant and still-employed Nebraska State Patrol Investigators and a corrupt CSI leader to ruin the lives of 2 men. Ferak exposes this pathetic collection of public servants in shocking detail, and in a manner that leaves the reader with no doubt about what those sworn to uphold the constitution are capable of when their incompetence, pride, arrogance and desire for fame are placed above the public trust. The tax paying residents of eastern Nebraska had no idea the leader of their CSI team was a sociopath desiring fame above all else, until now. After reading this you’ll never want to talk to law enforcement in an official capacity ever again without a lawyer. Nor should you.
Fantastic true crime story. I didn’t want to put it down. The character’s were riveting and just about every person had to make decisions that would impact on others. Some made terrible choices, even though the facts kept hitting them squarely on the forehead. Others saw through the charade and courageously confronted the truth. The author really confronts all of us in his "acknowledgement" when he first learned the motto "Tell the truth and don’t be afraid." Unfortunately, for most people that truly is a hard thing to do! A must read for police, attorneys, judges, CIS employees, and just about everyone else 18 & up!
