Richard is Missing: A True Account of a Kidnap/Murder on the Mexican Border

After more than a quarter century Dennis Harlan finally tells the true story of brutal murder, intensive investigation and speedy resolution that crisscrossed the U.S./Mexican border for 10 days and involved Mexican Federales, the Del Rio Police Department, Val Verde DA's Office, Texas Rangers, U.S. Customs and the F.B.I. Harlan’s blow by blow accounts taken directly from the case history that was his responsibility to write, reveal the professionalism with which he managed the case while dealing with his underlying feelings of loss about his fellow officer and compadre. Richard is Missing is a great read for law enforcement officers, both veterans and those new to the territory, and for anyone with an inquiring mind and a keen eye for well documented accounts of true crime in a volatile locale that’s close to home—very close to home.
