Synopsis

In many capital crimes in which no one has been convicted there has been little doubt in the minds of law enforcement personnel as to the identity of the perpetrator, who for lack of admissible evidence has never been brought to trial. In Cold Case Closure five such fictional cases continue to be pursued by a dedicated former homicide detective who appoints himself judge, jury, and executioner.
