Taking Naomi: A Sociopath’s Midlife Crisis Leads to Murder
Autor Doug Karien Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2027
When 18-year-old Naomi Irion failed to return home from work, her family became alarmed. She was an inspired young woman who'd traveled the world and spoke four languages. What happened to her?
Surveillance video revealed that before dawn on Saturday, March 12, 2022, as Naomi waited in a Walmart parking lot, a shadowy stranger forced his way into her car and drove off with her.
This dreadful discovery went viral, prompting a massive search for Naomi and her car, spearheaded by two detectives who'd bonded on the battlefield while serving in Iraq. Thousands of people across the USA joined in the hunt, on the ground and online.
The truth behind the case is chilling, and it's a must-read for any true crime reader. Doug Kari's exposé Taking Naomi reveals why a sociopath's midlife crisis led to every woman's worst nightmare and tells how sheriff's officials and the FBI solved the terrifying case.

Recenzii
With Taking Naomi, Doug Kari delivers readers straight into the heart of Western American darkness. He does so with incredible rigor and a moral compass we rarely see in "true crime." It's a three-pronged balancing act: the tragedy of Naomi Irion's disappearance and her family left pleading for answers, the dogged work of the Lyon County Sheriff's Office investigators (along with several other law enforcement agencies) in piecing it all together, and the unsparing - yet no less thorough - origin story of Naomi's murderer. In totality, a haunting, riveting, and, yes, heartfelt tale told with no punches pulled.
Doug Kari has the mind of a lawyer and a nose for news-specifically crime news. The shoe-leather reporting at the heart of Taking Naomi, and in articles Doug has written for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, is the hallmark of great journalism. Doug takes you to the scene, letting you see it for yourself, and introduces you to the players, letting you hear their own words. Readers will immediately feel invested in the story, wanting to help solve the case with each turn of the page. All the while, the book never loses sight of its focus-Naomi, the light she shined during her eighteen years on Earth, and "all the light that might have been.
At dawn on a spring day in 2022, eighteen-year-old Naomi Irion was kidnapped while waiting in her car in a Walmart parking lot in Fernley, Nevada. Girls disappear every day in America, usually dismissed as runaways and rarely sparking much interest by law enforcement. Fast-paced and methodical, Taking Naomi is the story of how two young gun local detectives who had bonded as Marines in the Iraq War teamed up with compassion, tenacity, and investigative skill, to find her and attempt to bring her murderer to justice. This is a compelling and important story well told.
