As the blog of 9/11/12 mentioned, I'd be interested in hearing a brief description of how cold case detectives go about their business. We certainly have seen enough in television shows and read enough in crime stories but it might be good to hear it from the real world. How do detectives who have been handed the "murder book" from an unsolved case proceed to develop new leads, new information, even new suspects? Of course, we all know that the Stacey Burns case is not considered a cold case by the New Hampshire State Police, even though Scott Gilbert of the cold case division is now the lead detective trying to solve it. Perhaps someone out there could guide us through a day in the life of a detective who has the Stacey Burns file on his/her desk. Naturally, this detective no doubt has at least a few other files on his desk as it has now been forty months and a few days since Stacey was murdered in her own home!
Now, in the last blog, I mentioned that I would love to have the chance to ask certain people two questions. Clearly, it would be wonderful to be able to ask more but rather than be greedy, I'd settle for just two. My list of those "certain" people is really not that long and it even includes a couple who have already given me interviews. Right now, the list consists of ten people. That means this could be a game of "Twenty Questions," two for each one.
Can you guess who might be on my list? More importantly, if you think you know someone who may be on the list, could you convince them to answer my two questions?
Hints for who may or may not be included on this list will appear in the next blog, two days from now.
