August 20, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Dan Chlebos, Former Police Chief, Asst. Prof., Justice & Public Policy for this week's Beyond The Courtroom. Lucy Ann and Dan are joined by Det/Sgt Larry Rothman, Michigan State Police and Kelly Hodges, Criminal Intelligence Analyst, MSP. Rothman describes the unit’s operations since its establishment in 2020, covering nine counties with approximately 58 to 63 unsolved homicides. A cold case is defined as one where all investigative leads have been exhausted, though there is no specific time frame for this classification. Hodges aids detectives by gathering new information and creating tools to support investigations and court proceedings. The team revisits old cases using new technologies, re-interviewing witnesses, and exploring changes in relationships over time.
