The Eighteenth Judicial District Cold Case Unit (CCU) started in 2013 to assist law enforcement in an effort to bring justice to those for whom it has been denied so long.  Working together, the CCU and law enforcement solved many cold cases, some of which have resulted in subsequent prosecution and convictions.  In addition, the CCU is working through all our active cold case files as part of a systematic review to attempt to revive these cases by helping generate new leads.  Criminals who may have thought they had gotten away with their crime can find themselves facing charges due to the dogged determination of law enforcement and the CCU.
