With every passing day trails grow colder and decades can pass before a new lead or witness comes forward if one comes forward. In "Unsolved," Robert J. Hoshowsky examines twelve crimes that continue to haunt us. Some cases are well-known, while others have virtually disappeared from the public eye. All of the cases remain open, and many are being re-examined by police using the latest tools and technology. Hoshowsky takes the reader through all aspects of the crimes and how police are trying to solve them using three-dimensional facial reconstructions, DNA testing, age-enhanced drawings, original crime scene photos, and more. None of the individuals profiled in "Unsolved" deserved their fate, but their stories deserve to be told and their killers need to be brought to justice."
