jjares reviewed Solving Cold Cases Vol. 7: True Crime Stories that Took Years to Crack (True Crime Cold Cases Solved) on + 3316 more book reviews
This author takes readers through fifteen separate stories about murders that took investigators years to conclude. It took fifty-two years to solve one crime (the most protracted cold case so far)! Susan Galvin died in Seattle, Washington (she worked for the Police Dept.) in July 1967. Her killer was found, through DNA evidence, in 2019.
DNA evidence is the thing that ties almost, or all, of the cases together. Police Depts. had to wait until forensic detection methods got better to link a suspect to the crime. Anyone planning on committing murder might want to avoid doing genealogy. It was surprising how much info police got from genealogy sites.
Reading this book made me feel that police are solving more crimes because of enhanced forensic methods. In addition, this author writes in a readable, interesting style.
