Cases in which all investigative leads appear to be exhausted are frustrating for both investigators and victims¿ families. Presenting actual case histories, this volume illustrates how investigators can successfully apply resources that will enable them to reopen and solve cases gathering dust in the file room. Topics discussed include implementing cold case units, people searches, information-sharing resources, and the plight of the missing. The book also discusses contact with co-victims, research through newspapers and public records, the use of volunteers, and how to take advantage of the media to bring new light to a case.
