There Are Close To 200 Active Cold Cases Throughout Idaho

Cold cases are unsolved criminal investigations that include murders, disappearances, kidnappings, and other types of incidents in which no one has been prosecuted. Investigators in Idaho are still taking information and asking the public for help with solving more than 190 active cases.

Compared to nearby states like California (2,512) and Washington (1,198) this might seem like a small number, but to the families, it's every bit tormenting.

As a true crime fanatic, I fall asleep most nights watching shows that deal with unsolved cases. In another life, I may have been a homicide detective. Criminals who have gotten away with horrific acts leave a deep scar that never heals on those families that never get closure.
