Solving Cold Cases: Vol. 5: True Crime Stories That Took Years to Crack

Solving Cold Cases #5

by Andrew J. Clark

Chilling. One of the best words to describe the cases presented in this book. 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.

They are the nameless faces that cry out to us from old newspaper headlines and canned footage from local TV news stations. They are the stories of injustice so striking we can’t quite forget, yet whose circumstances are so mysterious and perpetrators so elusive that we have no choice but to put them to the back of our minds. These cold cases scream for our attention, yet by their very nature remain on the back burner until some new lead comes forward.

But as the books in this series demonstrate, although a case may be cold, it’s never frozen. There is always the potential that a new clue, a new witness—or in some cases, a perpetrator with a guilty conscience—could break the case wide open.

This book documents some of the more recent cold cases that have been cracked with just such late-breaking news information. To be sure, catching the criminals responsible for cold case murders does not bring the victim back to us, but it at least lets their families attain some measure of closure. This volume includes fourteen cases which will get your gears turning.

Some of the cases included inside:
• Marlene Warren
• Robert Peterson, and John and Anton Schuessler
• Deana Bowdoin
• The victims of the Bathtub Killer
• and many more

And if that’s indeed what brought you to this book, you can rest assured that it contains some of the most spine-chilling, eyebrow-raising, and head shaking cold cases you could ever imagine. And remember—these aren’t fictitious figments of some rabid writer’s imagination.

This is real life, and real people who spent years languishing in the forensic files of investigators waiting for the day they’d see justice. And that’s the other great thing about all of the cold cases presented in this book—each and every one of them has been solved!

Short but Good read

This book is well written all though the book is very short and can be read in its entirety in under an hour.

Justice has been served

We have a feeling of vindication when a cold case is solved and the murderer is brought to justice. Most of us believe that those who murder should be removed from society where they cannot harm us or our children. That's our top priority, but in reality we don't want strangers to become victims either.

I enjoy reading about the cold cases being solved. If you do as well, this is an interesting series.

I enjoy this series of seeing cold cases solved thanks to DNA. It should be warning to anyone with murder in their past. Sooner or later police will come for you.
