Cold cases often come to haunt the investigators who look into them. The names of murder victims reverberate in their minds until they can’t sleep at night. Try as they might, even the best detectives sometimes find themselves at a dead-end when it comes to certain cases which have long gone cold. But all it takes is one major breakthrough, one sudden clue, or one unexpected lead, and these now rapidly thawing cold cases can be suddenly broken wide open.
This book focuses on some of the oldest—and some of the most perplexing—cold cases that have finally been solved. Many of them were solved only within the last few years. Some of these cases may be new to you, but there are many that you just might be familiar with—and be surprised to learn that they are indeed finally solved. If you enjoy a good detective story and are pleased to hear that justice delayed is not always justice denied, check out these solved cold cases.
Some of the cases included inside include: Carla Jan Walker: Justice at Long Last How DNA Nabbed Sarah Yarborough’s Killer Cynthia Miller: Have they Finally Found Her Killer? Rayna Rison: Did Her Boyfriend Do It? And many more!
There are some interesting cases in this volume. Some of them seemed impossible to solve, but eventually one thing occurred that allowed the case to be solved. Sometimes that one thing was an advancement in the use of DNA.
When you look at the big picture, it seems amazing that any crimes were solved before the advent of blood typing, fingerprints or being able to determine the time of death. DNA has revolutionized forensics to the point that most cases are solvable in time.
I find the investigating and newer technology interesting and am intrigued how far technology has come. I am glad so many families can now find closer for their loved ones.
