ABOUT THIS SESSION

Cold cases are built on patience, missed chances, and the refusal to let a story end. Rick Reed takes writers inside the long, frustrating, and often emotional process of pursuing cases that refuse to stay buried. This session explores how investigators keep going when leads dry up, how new forensic tools reopen old doors, and how writers can portray unresolved crimes with realism and credibility.
