Cold Case Story is based on a series of blog posts about a 1973 murder in which Stephanie Kane played an unwitting part. More than a witness but less than an active participant, she was a bit actor whose role in the crime shaped her life. For the next thirty years, she hid, distorted or denied the carnage in that suburban garage. In 2001, she tried to exorcise it by fictionalizing it in a mystery novel called Quiet Time. But a bludgeoning for which nobody paid the price demands answers, and cold cases exert a unique hydraulic force. Instead of laying the murder to rest, Quiet Time brought that cold case roaring back to life. And the killer wasn’t the only one to be brought to account.

A cold case is the tale of a murder told not just once, but twice. A story is shaped by characters, setting and plot. It changes with each telling but always has a beginning, middle and end. Cold Case Story tries to make sense of a brutal murder, a cold case and their consequences by viewing them through the lens of storytelling.

In the end, all are punish’d—even the guilty.
