Barbarous Souls tells the story of Darrel Parker's wrongful conviction for Nancy's murder. Lincoln native David Strauss weaves a shocking true crime story with an exposé of still-prevalent methods of interrogation--methods that often lead to false confessions and the conviction of innocent suspects. After he was convicted, Parker served thirteen years of a life sentence before agreeing to a deal that would free him but not clear his record. It was later discovered that a murderer who died in prison in 1988 had taped a confession to the crime.
