The Long Arm of Justice Catches Up with Suspect in 1993 Rock Singer Murder The story of Richard Werstine's decades long flight from justice is a sobering reminder that time is not always on our side when it comes to pursuing accountability.
Werstine, accused of killing rock singer Rodney Barger in 1993, was finally apprehended by the US Marshals Service after nearly three decades on the run.
Werstine's ability to evade detection for so long speaks to a system that often fails to prioritize justice, particularly when it involves those who know how to exploit its gaps.
