Cold Case Chronicles

The stories in this book focus on the victims –– some who are missing, some who have lost their identities, and some who have suffered from violent crimes. Even though these cases are considered “cold,” we learn from the evidence, and we need to listen to what the victims can tell us.

Read on about cold cases that once made headlines including a man and his wife murdered in Victorian-era New England to an unidentified child found dead in a cardboard box in 1950s Philadelphia. Some have simply slipped into folklore and legend, while others have transcended evolutions of forensic science and still have a chance of being solved.
