The Cold Case Foundation
The Cold Case Foundation: How a Team of Experts Solves Murders and Missing Persons Cases | Gregory M. Cooper, Thomas McHoes
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
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 FBIs Behavioral Sciences Unit, founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, he had high expectations, but couldnt 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 Foundations services, which are more than welcome for investigators that are increasingly finding themselves with fewer resourcesand not enough timeto dedicate to the most difficult cases. The Cold Case Foundation covers not only the investigative approaches the Foundations 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 unsolveduntil now.

Mehso-so

A book by a former head of the FBI‘s Behavioral Sciences Unit, Gregory M. Cooper, which details the founding & work of the Cold Case Foundation which he started in 2013. The Foundation takes on cases which have gone unsolved for many years & applies the latest techniques & the combined experience of more than 150 former police officers & FBI agents who donate their time to help solve the cases & give the families some closure.

OutsmartYourShelf Given the fascinating nature of their work, this book should have been more interesting to read than it was. It seemed a little repetitive in places (I'm sure I read that the level of unsolved murders runs at about 40% three or four times in subsequent chapters). The sections about each case also seemed quite brief & strangely the longest one was about an imagining of the events leading up to the murder of Pharoah Tutankhamun. 1w
OutsmartYourShelf Now that it a cold case of a few thousand years! Overall, although it was mainly interesting & informative about the Foundation's work, the writing style just wasn't to my taste. 3 ⭐

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Globe Pequot Publishing Group/Prometheus Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
