I’ll be watching. Cold Case was one of my favorite shows.

Right up there with The First 48. I never miss an episode.

These two shows are bookends. They hope to solve cases quickly. Otherwise it’s a Cold Case.

I always thought it’s pretty amazing that Police Departments fund and provide resources to solve cold cases. People tasked with giving a fresh look at old cases. Might be 5 years or 25 years. The date of the crime doesn’t matter. It shows how committed police are to solving these cases.
