Cold Case Research Resources for Unidentified, Missing, and Cold Homicide Cases
Author: Silvia Pettem
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1439861692
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Cases in which all investigative leads appear to be exhausted are frustrating for both investigators and victims’ families. Cold cases can range from those only a few months old to others that go back for decades. Presenting profiles and actual case histories, Cold Case Research: Resources for Unidentified, Missing and Cold Homicide Cases illustrates how investigators can successfully apply resources that will enable them to reopen and solve cases gathering dust in the file room. Today’s investigators have found that, to solve cold cases, they need to be internet savvy and make the best use of the rapidly changing methodologies of the twenty-first century, but they also have to be time travelers and open the door to the past. This volume weaves together the nearly forgotten skill sets of traditional historical researchers with the latest online tools, including TLO, a premier investigative system; and NamUs, the revolutionary database for missing persons and unidentified remains. Along with practical applications, Cold Case Research gives investigators the tools they need to save time and money and to jump-start their cold cases, while keeping others from going cold in the future. Topics discussed include: Implementing cold case units People searches and working with databases Overlooked DNA in PKU cards The plight of the missing and unknown Applying historical and geographical context Online and off-line newspaper research Public and published records The use of volunteers Contact with co-victims Cold-case review teams and information-sharing resources Taking advantage of the media Using a thinking-outside-the-box approach, this volume helps fill major gaps in traditional cold case investigation training and techniques, enabling investigators to confidently reopen and crack the mystery of cases long thought unsolvable. Silvia Pettem was quoted in a January 29, 2012 article on missing persons in the Colorado Springs Gazette.

ISBN: 1965259014
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 939
Book Description
Buried Under Ice (Book Seven) FBI Special Agent Oliver Foxx lied to Lark Lawson. Lied, used, seduced, and betrayed her. Four ultimate sins. The special agent got close to Lark just so that he could prove her twin brother was guilty of murder. Correction, multiple murders. But Lark knows her brother isn’t guilty. He is the only family she has left, and she is not about to watch him go down for crimes he never committed. So now she’s determined to hunt down the real killer. When danger begins to stalk her, it’s clear that Lark has attracted someone’s attention. To a deadly degree. Oliver never planned to get emotionally involved with the passionate and too lovely Lark, but his best laid plans went straight to hell when she entered his world. Oliver is used to profiling killers. He doesn’t know how to win back the only woman who has ever touched his heart. Especially when he broke hers. But when it becomes apparent that Lark is in the crosshairs of a dangerous killer, there is no way that Oliver can stand on the sidelines. Ice Cold Kiss (Book Eight) Midas Monroe knows that his big size intimidates plenty of people, and when they learn about his twisted past? Most folks go running. But he’s not like his dear old monster of a dad. He’s a bodyguard. Protecting and defending is his bit. His latest case isn’t the same old routine. It comes with a few twists…Twist one? The woman he’s protecting doesn’t know that he’s her bodyguard. Alina Bellamy is the reigning queen of the ice. She’s an Olympic contender waiting for her moment to shine. And she’s also a woman falling hard and fast for the big, muscled, and gorgeous stranger who has just swept into her life. But Alina’s perfect world shatters when she’s abducted. Kidnapped in the middle of the night, she fears that she’ll never survive, until he rushes to the rescue. Her Midas. Big, bold, and dangerous. Midas will do whatever it takes to keep Alina safe…and to win her heart. Locked In Ice (Book Nine) Guilty. Innocent? Definitely dangerous. The media chases Lane Lawson wherever he goes. Once upon a time, he’d been locked away because the Feds believed he was a serial killer. Now he’s out, free, seemingly clear, but he’ll never be the man he was before a nightmare ended the life he knew. So he hunts. Adrenaline and rage fuel him, and he hunts the killers who think they’ve gotten away with their crimes. PI Ophelia Raine is Lane’s opposite in every way. Fiery when he’s ice cold. Smiling when he’s ready to rip the world apart. She’s supposed to balance him, to help train him as an Ice Breaker…and, most importantly, he knows that Ophelia is supposed to keep him in check. Don’t let him go off the deep end. An order he’d heard her receive. But the problem is that the more he’s around the gorgeous and tenacious Ophelia, the more Lane’s control begins to fracture…

Pages : 72
Book Description
Chilling. One of the best words to describe the new cases presented in volume 6 of the series Solving Cold Cases. These gruesome crimes seemed to hit a dead end... That is until the cases were reopened for investigation and then solved thanks to modern technologies and new investigation techniques. Besides the 15 solved cold cases it describes in detail, this book was written in consideration of all the other difficult cases that remain unsolved year after year. Because the truth is, there is never an end to cold cases. As long as the human race endures, there will be tragic incidents of death and disappearance that will go unexplained. But as the stories in this book show, no matter how long they linger out in the cold, these cases still have professional men and women working to find the victims and bring the perpetrators to justice. This book showcases some of the most troubling cold cases that have recently been brought to a conclusion. Some of these cases were cold for so long that there seemed no hope of a break-but as this book can attest, they most certainly were not forgotten. Some of the cases included inside: The Homeless Homicide-Sara Lynn Wineski Sophie Sergie-The Bathtub Murder Solving the Riddle of Jack in the Box - Roberto Caraballo The Dental Death Cold Cases Scroll back up and grab your copy today!
