ColdCase was an hour-long crime drama that aired on the CBS network from September 28, 2003 to May 2, 2010. It focused on a Philadelphia Police Department's Homicide squad that investigates murders that have gone unsolved for years, sometimes even decades.

The series focused largely on Detective Lilly Rush (Kathryn Morris) who was (until the third season) the squad's only female Homicide detective. Initially paired with Detective Chris Lassing (Justin Chambers) for the first few episiodes, her long-term partner has been Detective Scotty Valens (Danny Pino). The squad is commanded by Lieutenant John Stillman (John Finn) and includes Detectives Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford), Will Jeffries (Thom Barry), and, starting in the third season, Josie Sutton (Sarah Brown), who was replaced after a few episodes with Kat Miller (Tracie Thoms).


Episodes typically began with a flashback to a point several years earlier where the victim, and often other characters, are introduced and their situation is established. From there, the scene fades to sometime later, when the victim's body is shown with no one else present.


A contemporary police officer is usually shown filing a box of files pertaining to the unsolved case among several other boxes. In cases, where the body was never found the scene might show a Missing Persons report. The scene might also show a medical examiner's report if the death was thought to be an accident or suicide.


Acquaintances of the victim are interviewed by detectives and recall their experiences with the victim which is then seen in flashbacks. Witness are often portayed by two guest actors: a younger one to appear in flashbacks when the victim was alive, and an older one to portray the character as they appear in the present (though some actors portray both versions of the character, depending on their age and if the case was recent enough).


Flashbacks typically employ popular music contemporary to the era and are shot in a way that is distinctly different visually from the scenes in the present. When the flashbacks are all viewed, the victim is usually shown having gone through some sort of character arc. When the killer's identity is revealed and confronted, their confession is shown through one final flashback revealing the circumstances of the victim's death.


The episode then ends with no dialogue, but rather one more piece of period music plays over a montage in which the killer is arrested; other witnesses are shown going on with their lives (both intercutting between their younger and older selves); one of the detectives is shown stacking the case box back with the other boxes, now with the word 'CLOSED' written on the lid; finally, one of the detectives (usually Lilly) or someone else close to the victim is shown seeing them apparently alive, well, and happy for just a moment, before they fade away, as though to suggest the victim can "move on", now that their murder has been solved. Since the show doesn't delve into the supernatural, it's generally assumed the victim's appearance at the end is more a figment of the other person's imagination.


Whether or not the show can be called a "procedural" is debatable. The show does not delve into the personal lives as much as some, such as NYPD Blue, but still more than others, such as Law & Order. Love interests for one character have sometimes been shown over several episode, and occasionally subplots onvolving a detective's personal life is shown, though invariably, the case shown in the episode takes precendence.


A Japanese remake of the series titled Cold Case - Door of Truth was broadcast from October 22, 2016 to December 24, 2016. The second season was aired in 2018, while the third season will be expected to air in the middle or the last quarter of 2020.


12:45 p.m.-1:45 p.m. Unlocking the Mystery Behind CODIS

This presentation will cover commonly asked questions regarding the use of CODIS, including what is eligible to be uploaded into CODIS and what are the expectations of the lab, investigating agencies, and Prosecuting Attorneys after a CODIS Hit. New Legislation affecting CODIS operations will also be discussed.


1:45 p.m.-3:00 pm. Solving Cases With New DNA Technology

This presentation will dive into new tools at your disposal to generate leads on your cold cases and current cases. A sneak peek into future technologies just on the horizon will also be discussed.


A. Cases Solved by Forensic Genetic Genealogy

Through case studies, this talk will provide insight into how Forensic Genetic Genealogy (FGG) has enabled the resolution of hundreds of cold cases, many of which were thought to be beyond the reach of modern technology.


C. Guide for Solving Homicide Cases and Cold Case Units

The success rate of a cold case unit hinges on its ability to be highly organized and efficient. This presentation will provide a structured protocol on how to design, operate and efficiently manage a cold case unit and if followed will increase the solvability factor. CLICK HERE for MATERIALS.


D. Legal Issues Surrounding FIGG

This segment will discuss the various legal considerations when FIGG has been used to identify a suspect and a criminal prosecution ensues. These considerations include accreditation, licensure, discovery, motions in limine, admissibility hearings and the presentation of evidence.


2:45 p.m.-3:45 p.m. Rootless Hair Technology

It is now possible to generate a genotype file from the DNA contained within a few centimeters of rootless hair. The amount and unique characteristics of DNA in rootless hair, how this DNA is recovered and sequenced, and how it is used to generate a genotype file for Investigative Genetic Genealogy will be discussed.

This presentation will focus on the resources available to your agency to assist with search and rescue efforts, including newer trends in technology that can detect disruptions in soil using electrical resistivity tomography.


In Colorado Springs, there are at least 108 unsolved cases dating back to 1949 that have surpassed the one-year investigative grace period, designating them as "cold." Someone, somewhere has the answers that could crack these cases wide open. Detectives are eager for those individuals to step forward.


Twenty-six years ago, Denise Floydlen Johnson was found murdered inside her residence in the 2000 block of Norfolk Street in Kill Devil Hills by first responders. The house was ablaze when the KDH fire department arrived. Johnson had succumbed to smoke from the fire, and stab wounds were found on her lifeless body. The case has remained cold since July 13, 1997.


Crime Line has offered a reward of $2,500 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the person responsible. In addition, friends of Denise Johnson established a reward fund of $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.


The Colorado Cold Case Database features unsolved homicides, missing person, and unidentified person cases to assist law enforcement agencies in the development of information, which can lead to the identification, and arrest of any person(s) who may have committed any crime described on this page. If you have information on any of the persons, or cases found on this page, you are encouraged to contact CBI or the investigating agency.


It is the sincerest hope of all those involved in the CBI Cold Case Unit's efforts that the necessary tips and information can be provided to the agencies investigating these "cold cases" such that they may resolve their own investigations and provide some justice and resolution to these tragedies.

Time passes as the Bad Kids begin to re-enter a period of normalcy. But Riz's hunch that their quest isn't finished is confirmed when Adaine begins to suspect that her sister is working for the bad guys.


"Guys, last we left off, we were on the Bloodrush Field. Coach Daybreak had been shot in the back of the head, after being stabbed through the neck, after being axed in the back, after being made to violently shit his pants... You guys stand over the body of Ragh Barkrock, who is weeping, terrified of you guys and Fig's insane, potent, necromantic, bardic, fiendish magicks. You see that Ragh is just weeping on the ground beneath you..."


Gorgug lets Ragh out of the headlock he was keeping him in. Ragh stands and wipes his face. Fig forces him to kneel before Gorgug and "tell him that he's a big, strong man", thinking it will be therapeutic for Gorgug. Gorgug, uncomfortable, asks Fig to make it stop. Fig passes around the flask of dwarven vodka that she stole from the hospital and offers it to Ragh.


The Bad Kids begin to interrogate Ragh. He reveals that Coach Daybreak took him to a "bench house" (the Cathedral of Sol), softened the stone around an archway, and told Ragh to pull the archway out of the wall. Kristen asks him if he did anything to her bible before throwing it into the vat of corn on the first day of school. Ragh says that he didn't do anything to the bible and that no one told him to do it; he did it because he heard that Kristen bore false witness - the excuse that Coach Daybreak used to give her detention. Ragh says he regrets stealing her bible, though, because Coach Daybreak got really angry at him for doing it.
