Solving Cold Cases Vol. 5: True Crime Stories that Took Years to Crack (True Crime Cold Cases Solved)

Chilling. One of the best words to describe the cases presented in this book. 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. This is Volume 5 of the popular Solving Cold Cases series.They are the nameless faces that cry out to us from old newspaper headlines and canned footage from local TV news stations. They are the stories of injustice so striking we can’t quite forget, yet whose circumstances are so mysterious and perpetrators so elusive that we have no choice but to put them to the back of our minds. These cold cases scream for our attention, yet by their very nature remain on the back burner until some new lead comes forward.
But as the books in this series demonstrate, although a case may be cold, it’s never frozen. There is always the potential that a new clue, a new witness—or in some cases, a perpetrator with a guilty conscience—could break the case wide open. This book documents some of the more recent cold cases that have been cracked with just such late-breaking news information. To be sure, catching the criminals responsible for cold case murders does not bring the victim back to us, but it at least lets their families attain some measure of closure. This Fifth volume in the series Solving Cold Cases includes fourteen cases which will get your gears turning.

And if that’s indeed what brought you to this book, you can rest assured that it contains some of the most spine-chilling, eyebrow-raising, and head shaking cold cases you could ever imagine. And remember—these aren’t fictitious figments of some rabid writer’s imagination. This is real life, and real people who spent years languishing in the forensic files of investigators waiting for the day they’d see justice. And that’s the other great thing about all of the cold cases presented in this book—each and every one of them has been solved!
