Cold Case
Cold Case is a term used for unsolved criminal investigations that become dormant due to lack of new evidence and the passage of time. Cold Cases are often reopened when new evidence or technology is available that can help to solve the case. Cold cases are significant because they can provide justice and closure to victims and their families after a prolonged period of uncertainty. Cold Case Investigations can include forensics, such as fingerprint analysis, DNA testing, and other evidence analysis, as well as interviews and other investigative techniques. Cold Cases are also used by law enforcement to identify serial offenders.
