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.

Chilling is one of the best words to describe the cases presented in this book, the 7th from 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. For law enforcement, cold cases are the toughest to crack. They are those frustrating cases that just never seem to have any answers, and the longer the cases stay cold, the more difficult they become. The killer could even be right under their noses, yet there's just not enough evidence to make the connection. The case of Angela Kleinsorge, for example, remained unsolved for decades before it was finally proven that she was killed by the guy that lived right across the street! Sometimes, cold case murders are not even viewed as such. The cold case of Mike Williams fits this bill. Mike was murdered by his best friend during a hunting trip, yet for several years it was believed that he simply fell out of the fishing boat! Cold cases are often complete enigmas until a sudden break in the case presents itself. This book is full of a wide variety of these intriguing mysteries.

From the detective who helped catch the Golden State Killer, a memoir about investigating America's toughest cold cases, and the rewards - and toll - of a life spent solving crime.For a decade, from 1973, The Golden State Killer stalked and murdered Californians in the dead of night, leaving entire communities afraid to turn off the lights. Then he vanished, and the case remained unsolved.In 1994, when cold-case investigator Paul Holes came across the old file, he swore he would unmask GSK and finally give these families closure. Twenty-four years later, Holes fulfilled that promise, identifying 73-year-old Joseph J. DeAngelo. Headlines blasted around the world: one of America's most prolific serial killers had been caught.That case launched Paul's career into the stratosphere, turning him into an icon in the true-crime world. But while many know the story of the capture of GSK, until now, no one has truly known the man behind it all.In UNMASKED, Paul takes us through his memories of a storied career and provides an insider account of some of the most notorious cases in contemporary American history, including Laci Peterson's murder and Jaycee Dugard's kidnapping. But this is also a revelatory profile of a complex man and what makes him tick: the drive to find closure for victims and their loved ones; the inability to walk away from a challenge - even at the expense of his own happiness. This is a story about the gritty truth of crime solving when there are no 'case closed' headlines. It is the story of a man and his commitment to his cases, and to the people who might have otherwise been forgotten.

Cases in which all investigative leads appear to be exhausted are frustrating for both investigators and victims’ families. Cold cases can range from those only a few months old to others that go back for decades. Presenting profiles and actual case histories, Cold Case Research: Resources for Unidentified, Missing and Cold Homicide Cases illustrates how investigators can successfully apply resources that will enable them to reopen and solve cases gathering dust in the file room. Today’s investigators have found that, to solve cold cases, they need to be internet savvy and make the best use of the rapidly changing methodologies of the twenty-first century, but they also have to be time travelers and open the door to the past. This volume weaves together the nearly forgotten skill sets of traditional historical researchers with the latest online tools, including TLO, a premier investigative system; and NamUs, the revolutionary database for missing persons and unidentified remains. Along with practical applications, Cold Case Research gives investigators the tools they need to save time and money and to jump-start their cold cases, while keeping others from going cold in the future. Topics discussed include: Implementing cold case units People searches and working with databases Overlooked DNA in PKU cards The plight of the missing and unknown Applying historical and geographical context Online and off-line newspaper research Public and published records The use of volunteers Contact with co-victims Cold-case review teams and information-sharing resources Taking advantage of the media Using a thinking-outside-the-box approach, this volume helps fill major gaps in traditional cold case investigation training and techniques, enabling investigators to confidently reopen and crack the mystery of cases long thought unsolvable.
