Follow the most riveting cases of an elite investigative team of volunteers brought together by a famed FBI Profiler dedicated to solving crimes no one else could
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 the most riveting and rewarding cases the Foundation has helped solve, from high-profile missing persons cases to decades-old murders. In a fairly short time, 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--and not enough time--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 in a spirit of cooperation and trust to help solve cases that, for whatever reason, have gone unsolved--until now.
