On the evening of August 21st, 1989, Norman Ladner, a 17-year-old high school student,

went hunting on his family's property and picked a unanimous Mississippi.

When Norman didn't return home by 7 p.m., his parents grew concerned and went looking

for him.

Ultimately, Norman was found in the woods, dead from a single shotgun wound to the temple.

A coronary medical examiner ultimately ruled that Norman had committed suicide, however,

his parents have adamantly denied this possibility and maintained that he was murdered.

It's been 34 years since Norman died and his loved ones are still searching for answers.

Hey everyone, welcome back to Detective Perspective.

My name is Derek Levasser.

I'm a licensed private investigator and former police detective.

Each week I'll be covering an unsolved case in story format, I'll then give you my

perspective on the investigation and provide contact information for the individuals or

organizations connected to the case so that if you have any tips, you can contact them

directly and maybe you can help solve a case.

If you're someone who's interested in true crime specifically unsolved cases and you'd

like to hear my opinion on those investigations, please consider subscribing whether you're

watching on YouTube or listening on Apple podcasts or Spotify or whatever platform you

use.

It would be greatly appreciated.

Okay.

Norman Ladner, this is an interesting case and I try to keep you guys on your toes.
