Synopsis

When Gregory M. Cooper, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, he had high expectations, but couldn't anticipate the level of response. What started with just a half-dozen or so retired FBI agents and homicide detectives has ballooned to more than 150 women and men who volunteer their time to help families of deceased or missing loved ones bring closure to cases that have gone "cold."

The Cold Case Foundation shares riveting and rewarding cases the Foundation has helped solve, from high-profile missing persons cases to decades-old murders. The Cold Case Foundation has contributed to the solving of dozens of cases and is helping hundreds more homicide and missing persons investigations move forward. Police departments and victims' families from throughout the country have been supported by the Foundation's services, which are more than welcome for investigators that are increasingly finding themselves with fewer resources to dedicate to the most difficult cases.

The Cold Case Foundation covers not only the investigative approaches the Foundation's investigators employ and recommend, but also the principles and activities that help communities and law enforcement agencies come together to help solve cases that, for whatever reason, have gone unsolved—until now.

It’s rare that I read such an arrogant, self important book that really has nothing of value to share. I thought this could be a book similar to the Murder Room which I LOVED but I was sorely disappointed. While the Murder Room was proud of their accomplishments but graceful in how they went about r......more

Goodreads review by Peacegal on March 06, 2025

As far as true crime books go, this one was...ehh. As others have noted, the author clearly thinks highly of himself--and maybe with good reason, as his group does help bring about justice for victims in cold cases, but still the tone can become a bit grating. There's also a lot of padding and unnec......more
