A cold case is an unsolved crime no longer being investigated.
Cold Case may also refer to:
Cold case refers to a crime or an accident that has not yet been solved to the full and is not the subject of a recent criminal investigation, but for which new information could emerge from new witness testimony, re-examined archives, retained material evidence, as well as fresh activities of the suspect (e.g. repeated deaths of wives of a suspect, who marries a lady and then does away with her for insurance gain). New technical methods developed after the case can be used on the surviving evidence to re-analyze the causes, often with conclusive results.
Typically, cold cases are violent or other major felony crimes, such as murder or rape which unlike unsolved minor crimes are generally not subject to a statute of limitations.
Sometimes disappearances can also be considered cold cases if the victim has been not seen or heard from for some time, such as the case of Natalee Holloway.
In about 35% of those cases are not really cold cases at all. Some cases become instantly cold when a seeming closed (solved) case is re-opened due to the discovery of new evidence pointing away from the original suspect(s). This happens in a surprising number of cases, and is the result of a miscarriage of justice. Other cases are cold when the crime, usually through discovery of human remains, is discovered well after the fact. Other cases are classified cold cases when a case that had been originally ruled an accident or suicide is re-designated a murder when new evidence emerges.
Aww love is such a beautiful thing
It's so fuckin beautiful
Especially in the beginning when everyone's happy
And so honest and so real and loving and affectionate
And there for you, and not cheating on you, and not fucking some other bitch
I got this case on my hands, that I can't crack
But I been gathering all that I can
One of those things that I must understand, understand
Cuz you went and changed up on me, much too fast
Talk about lightening speed, lightening speed
But it ain't no unsolvable mystery
I gotta get down to it
My eyes and ears are open wide, don't take my time
But I'm gone find the answer to this mystery
No you ain't heard the last from me
She, she ain't got nothing on me
Couldn't be her or maybe you're stupid enough, I'm not sure
I really don't you so well enough anymore anymore
But still, still I can't sleep well at night
Until, till I get down to it down to it
I put away the piles of files on my desk I won't rest
My eyes and ears are open wide, don't take my time
But I'm gone find the answer to this mystery
No you ain't heard the last from me
My eyes and ears are open wide, don't take my time
But I'm gone find the answer to this mystery
No you ain't heard the last from me
