CBI Launches New Cold Case Website

More than 1,700 cold cases in Colorado are now online in hopes of attracting new leads for investigators. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation released the cold case database on its website. The site gives information that's already available to the public, but now in a more accessible place. The CBI hopes the site will help investigators solve some of Colorado's cold cases. It says making the information easier to find could prompt witnesses to come forward. "Someone who may have information where that time has passed now they feel more comfortable coming forward for whatever reason," Audrey Simkins with Criminal Intelligence said. The site gives information on unsolved murders, missing people and unidentified remains. The cases date back to 1970.
