Chilling. One of the best words to describe the new cases presented in volume 6 of the series Solving Cold Cases. These gruesome crimes seemed to hit a dead end… That is until the cases were reopened for investigation and then solved thanks to modern technologies and new investigation techniques.
Besides the 15 solved cold cases it describes in detail, this book was written in consideration of all the other difficult cases that remain unsolved year after year. Because the truth is, there is never an end to cold cases. As long as the human race endures, there will be tragic incidents of death and disappearance that will go unexplained. But as the stories in this book show, no matter how long they linger out in the cold, these cases still have professional men and women working to find the victims and bring the perpetrators to justice. This book showcases some of the most troubling cold cases that have recently been brought to a conclusion. Some of these cases were cold for so long that there seemed no hope of a break—but as this book can attest, they most certainly were not forgotten.
Some of the cases included inside: • The Homeless Homicide—Sara Lynn Wineski • Sophie Sergie—The Bathtub Murder • Solving the Riddle of Jack in the Box - Roberto Caraballo • The Dental Death Cold Cases
The cases presented in this volume offer some interesting puzzles. Many things are not what they appear to be. Thanks to recent advances in DNA testing, however, even the most elusive murderer can be run to earth if a suspect can be identified and DNA is obtained. In fact, a recent development can uncover a killer through a "familial DNA" search.
The author states that a captured and convicted killer "will never see the light of day again." This is disturbing because it's simply not true. Sometimes murderers escape confinement. Sometimes murderers are released from confinement, being considered "too old" to be dangerous. Evil is not something you outgrow. Evil doesn't have an age limit. Evil stops when its host is dead.
