How are unsolved homicide investigations assigned?
When the case is assigned to the cold case homicide section, all leads have been exhausted and no additional investigative information is known. At that point, the case will be transferred to the cold case homicide unit for review. Cases will be assigned as new information is developed or if during the review process, unresolved leads are developed or additional investigation is deemed necessary. Unsolved cases will be reviewed and will include cases when the original Detective is no longer assigned to the Homicide section. Not all cases will be selected for review and not all cold case homicide investigations will be selected.
