THE COLD CASE UNIT of the Chief State's Attorney Office, was established in May of 1998 to focus special investigative efforts on crimes that have gone "cold," that is, unsolved for a prolonged period of time.

Since it began operation, the Cold Case Unit has undertaken numerous investigations, resulting in convictions in more than a dozen previously unsolved homicides. Additionally, the Cold Case Unit has been involved in investigations that resulted in the Federal court convictions of three individuals in homicide cases.

The Cold Case Unit brings together experienced prosecutors and investigators from the Office of the Chief State's Attorney to work closely with the Connecticut State Police and municipal police departments. These investigators start from scratch, reviewing all evidence and taking a fresh look at the crime.
