I haven't found a thread for this case on WS, but this example shows that not giving up on cold cases can break the perp at the end.

Erika Case and her sister were house sitting on Sunflower Place in Vigo County. Erika was found dead the next morning, murdered by a stab wound to the neck.
Clint Mackey and a friend picked up Erika Case and took her to a Vigo County home where she was house sitting.
The friend said Mackey attempted to have sex with Erika and she continued to turn him down. The two of them then left the house. Both told police later, when they left Erika Case, she was just fine.
Then, the case went cold, for 15 years.
The Vigo County Sheriffs Department was able to move forward with the case with help from the television show Cold Justice and TNT. On January 21, Mackey went to the Benton County, Iowa sheriffs office and confessed.
