cold case resolution

Cold case resolution refers to solving a criminal investigation that has remained unsolved for an extended period, often years or decades. Advances in forensic technology, new evidence, or fresh investigative leads can lead to breakthroughs. Once sufficient evidence is obtained, authorities can identify a suspect or confirm the perpetrator's involvement, often resulting in an arrest, prosecution, or closure for victims and their families. Resolving cold cases provides justice, closure, and helps maintain public confidence in the justice system.
