i did use the search, but couldn't find any Cold Case thread!

 

what in the world is wrong with you guys?

 

i'm hooked ever since i watched the first episode. and i also love the music they play, which often really does fit! (they played coldplay several times...)

 

Each episode of Cold Case begins with a flashback scene informing viewers of the year in which it takes place. A set of characters are revealed in a seemingly mundane situation. The viewer is then shown the corpse of the victim as he or she was found. It is usually one of the people introduced in the previous, seemingly innocent scene.

The show then flashes to the present day. The detectives of the homicide division of the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, police department are told there is reason for further investigation of an old case gone cold, for one of several reasons: new evidence has come to light, the victim's physical remains have been discovered, a witness has decided to come forward, etc. All or any of these reasons cause the detectives to give the cold case a new look and begin researching the victim and interviewing their friends, acquaintances, and family.

The friends, family, co-workers, etc. who were introduced in the flashback at the beginning of the episode have aged (in one case, a seven-year-old witness to the crime is interviewed by the detectives when she is 95). Gradually, the detectives gather enough evidence to determine the killer, who is usually then arrested.

At the end of each episode, the detectives mark the case solved, putting the evidence box back on the shelf, while an apparition of the murdered person(s) looks on.
