A Nebraska True Crime Investigation of John Joubert, Military Bases, and Serial Child Murders
In 1983, the quiet communities of Bellevue and Omaha, Nebraska, were gripped by fear following the abductions and murders of young boys Danny Joe Eberle and Christopher Walden. Police and FBI profiling linked the crimes to John Joubert, an Air Force radar technician stationed at Offutt Air Force Base who had previously murdered Ricky Stetson in Maine.
Journalist Mark Pettit presents a detailed account of the multi-agency task force investigation, tracking the crucial HAM radio license plate lead that identified Joubert. Featuring death-row prison interviews, the book examines Joubert's psychological background, forensic evidence, and capital trial.
