COLUMBUS, Ga. (WTVM) - There are close to 150 unsolved murder cases the Columbus Police Department currently has since 1962.
“The current cases are always precedent, and then once those start piling up, you just literally have no time to work the cold cases,” said Detective Stuart Carter, cold case head investigator at the Columbus Police Department.
The police department wants to change this. That’s why a select few officers are now dedicated to solving cold case murders.
