I enjoy a tv show called Cold Case Files. This is a glossy retelling of cold cases, usually murders, that are solved many years after the crime was originally committed. These are inevitably solved by detectives who just wouldn't give up, trace evidence that is now technologically decipherable and sometimes by a witness who just waited too long to contribute to the police work. Anyway, they are fascinating stories.
This morning, driving to work I was listening to the radio and heard some interesting news. My city, Abilene is now dedicating some resources to solving cold cases. Neat. Clearly, this is a new thing. The report implied that cold cases had been allowed to remain cold for a lack of manpower in the police department. The detectives who do this work in Abilene will begin trying to solve 26 murders that have happened over the last 40 years in Abilene. Good luck to you, detectives. Hopefully, CCF will get to come film a show here soon.
