The murders of Barbara and Gordon Erickstad shocked Bismarck, North Dakota in 1998. Episode 2, Never Ever Narc, follows detective Lloyd Halvorson as he zeroes in on 18-year-old Brian Erickstad and 27-year-old Robert Lawrence. With the suspects on the run, police turned to their circle of teenage friends, hoping someone would talk. The answers could reveal who was involved — and most urgently, where Barbara and Gordon’s bodies were. Dakota Spotlight investigates this heartbreaking North Dakota true crime story of loyalty, silence, and unimaginable violence.
