The listing, Journal of the Dead: A Storyof Friendship and Murder inthe New Mexico Desert has ended.

Page-turning true crime Jason Kersten who is senior editor at Maxim magazine and holds a master's degree in Journalism.

Two friends decide to do a cross-country road trip a la Jack Kerouac's "On the Road." They stopped to spend the night camping with limited supplies at Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The next morning they realized they were hopelessly lost and could not find their way out of the canyon. The journal they left behind tells the tale of their fruitless searches for help as each new path failed to be a way out. Buzzards circling over head would not let them ignore how little food and water they had brought.

Four days later help finally arrived. One of the men was dehydrated but alive. When he was asked where his buddy was, he pointed to a pile of stones and said, "Over there...I killed him."

David Coughlin had been stabbed twice in the heart. Did Kodikian really kill his best friend because he begged to be killed?

The author journalist read trial transcripts, the journal, did interviews with key players and tried to find the truth in this controversial case. Read it and decide what you think happened in the New Mexico desert and how anybody could kill their best friend.
