"Race Against Time: A Reporter Reopens the Unsolved Murder Cases of the Civil Rights Era" quickly became one of my favorite nonfiction books written by a journalist. I appreciated how he showed the grueling, day-to-day work local journalism requires, and how many layers of people fought him in revealing the despicable work of the Ku Klux Klan.

Dutch police contacted neighbouring Belgian and German forces and eventually Interpol about the possibility of an international appeal for information on the cases. It was this that brought Roberts' and other unidentified death cases to the desk of Susan Hitchin, from the forensics team at Interpol's headquarters in the French city of Lyon.

Jo Jo Dullard (21) went missing on November 9, 1995, while she was on her way home to Callan in Co Kilkenny after she was out socialising in Dublin. She missed her last bus home to Kilkenny and boarded a 10pm bus to Naas in Co Kildare, planning to hitchhike the rest of the way to her home.

Toronto police say they have linked three cold cases from the 1980s and identified the killer of three women over the span of five years as the same man.

Steve Smith said in a video statement provided by Toronto police Thursday. The three women were killed in separate incidents between 1982 and 1987, Smith said.

Sifting through decades-old files and harnessing the reach of social media, a little-known unit in the West Midlands has solved more than 240 missing person cold cases in just three and a half years.

The discovery of what appeared to be a human femur and pelvic bone might have unnerved the construction workers who unearthed them near Lake Worth Beach last week, but for Dr. Heather Walsh-Haney and her students, it was just an average Monday. The forensic anthropologist and Florida Gulf Coast University professor is often one of the first calls officials make when they need to solve the mysteries of Florida's dead.

Ballard stars Maggie Q as the dogged and empathetic investigator... committed to closing as many... cold cases... Her first case is the early 2000s murder of teenager Sarah Pearlman.

The Nordic noir series Dept. Q, featuring Detective Chief Inspector Carl Morck, explores complex cold cases, and the dynamics of its flawed protagonist within a fresh narrative setting.

"Dept. Q' is more than just a crime series; it delves into the psychological trauma of its characters while exploring the intricacies of unresolved cases in Edinburgh."

"We're averaging almost a case a day at this point," said Michael Vogen, Director of Case Management with Othram.
