ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Anchorage Police Department has formed a unit of officers to work on cold cases with the intent of solving unresolved investigations involving up to 125 victims.
The unit established earlier this year has spent months combing through files of cold cases, which receive the designation after three years without leads or productive avenues to pursue, Alaskaâs News Source reported Tuesday.
Lt. Jack Carson said the unit he now commands is the first to which the department has dedicated full-time resources for cold cases.
The unit has two detectives and a shared clerk, with Carson and Sgt. Bianca Cross supervising their activities.
