In 1989, 3-year-old Carmina Salcido’s life changed completely. On a cool, spring day, Carmina Salcido became a life-long survivor.
The Oddingley Murders
When we hear the term “cold case”, this usually applies to a case that has been cracked wide open by new advances in forensic technology. But every now and then, a cold case can be solved by complete accident. Especially when the forensic technology at hand is, well, entirely non-existent.

In 2010, an unknown serial killer was apprehended. What started out as a probation violation, soon turned into a full-scale investigation when police in Reno, Nevada discovered Joseph Naso’s “List of 10”.
The Cleft Chin Murder
As World War II waged on, England was hit with blitz drills, blackouts, and the constant, terrorizing threat of air raids. During this time, police presence, even in large city centres, was spread incredibly thin. Many opportunists took advantage of this, and chose to chase their own fun.

Myself included, on both fronts.
