Description
Follow the most riveting cases of an elite investigative team of volunteers brought together by a famed FBI Profiler dedicated to solving crimes no one else could
When Gregory M. Cooper, former head of the FBI’s Behavioral Sciences Unit, founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, he had high expectations, but couldn’t anticipate the level of response. What started with just a half-dozen or so retired FBI agents and homicide detectives has ballooned to more than 150 women and men who volunteer their time to help families of deceased or missing loved ones bring closure to cases that have gone “cold.”
The Cold Case Foundation shares the most riveting and rewarding cases the Foundation has helped solve, from high-profile missing persons cases to decades-old murders. In a fairly short time, the Cold Case Foundation has contributed to the solving of dozens of cases and is helping hundreds more homicide and missing persons investigations move forward. Police departments and victims’ families from throughout the country have been supported by the Foundation’s services, which are more than welcome for investigators that are increasingly finding themselves with fewer resources—and not enough time—to dedicate to the most difficult cases.
The Cold Case Foundation covers not only the investigative approaches the Foundation’s investigators employ and recommend, but also the principles and activities that help communities and law enforcement agencies come together in a spirit of cooperation and trust to help solve cases that, for whatever reason, have gone unsolved—until now.
Advance Praise
"Haunted by the high percentage of unsolved homicides in America, Cooper set up the Cold Case Foundation to energize stalled investigations. Over the years, he's inspired other investigative experts to join. This book spreads the word about the Foundation’s valuable work by showing how it brings justice and healing to families and communities. Through this book, more people will learn about the Cold Case Foundation’s resources and more cases will be solved. A satisfying read, inspiring, and full of hope."
—Katherine Ramsland PhD, professor of forensic psychology and author of How to Catch a Killer
"Greg Cooper, whose long career included helming the F.B.I.’s fabled Behavioral Science Unit at Quantico and profiling some of the worst offenders in the annals of crime, has long been an unsung hero in the forensic field. In this mesmerizing and well-written book, he relates how and why he founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, providing insights into how key cases were tackled, and describing the C.C.F.’s indefatigable efforts to help to solve perplexing crimes and give families sorely-needed closure."
—Gary Brucato PhD, coauthor of The New Evil: Understanding the Emergence of Modern Violent Crime
