The development of new investigative techniques led the Sûreté du Québec to create a team whose sole mission is to solve cold cases. This website is a call for the assistance of the public in providing the police with any information that could help solve cases involving serious crimes against persons.
OKLAHOMA CITY - Across the state, more than 1,200 cold cases remain unsolved. But beginning November 1, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation will begin dedicating new resources to solving those cases.
The OSBI is creating a special cold case unit. The unit will work out of the Forensic Science Center in Edmond. The members of the unit will be looking at old evidence and working closely with analysts and criminalists.

Most people use social media to keep up with friends and family, as well as keep up with current events. One Stephens County woman, however, uses Facebook to shine a light on cold cases in the area.
The Facebook page, Oklahoma Cold Cases, was started in 2017 and has over 17,000 followers. “We wanted to shed light on cold cases, because we believe someone knows something,” said the page founder Jennifer Wells.* Social Media Site Shines Light on Cold Cases
