Cold Case Homicide Investigations

The objective of this class is to describe in detail investigative techniques which have successfully solved several old, cold, unsolved, homicide cases.  This course will include a discussion of not only the techniques and strategies utilized, but also a comprehensive case study analysis, which utilizes real life, practical experiences to demonstrate how difficult and previously thought unsolvable cases could in fact be solved.  Although the primary focus is on cold case homicides, the practical value from this seminar carries over to all aspects of criminal investigation and is designed to make participants better all-around investigators.
