In Texas, when a murder goes unsolved, or it goes cold, it goes to the Texas Rangers. Can you help solve their top twelve cold cases?

What is a cold case?

A cold case refers to an unsolved criminal investigation that remains open and has not been solved or resolved for an extended period. The term "cold" implies that the case has gone without new leads or significant investigative progress for a considerable amount of time.

Cold cases can involve various types of crimes, such as homicides, disappearances, sexual assaults, or other serious offenses. Law enforcement agencies may revisit cold cases in the hope of uncovering new evidence, leveraging advancements in forensic technology, or receiving fresh leads that could help solve the mystery and bring closure to the victims and their families.

The Texas Rangers keep a website where they normally list the top 12 cold case investigations. Currently, they have 13 cases listed, and they go as far back as 1979.
