In the Cold Case Files season 5 episode 13 titled "A Killer's Skin; Where's Peggy?", the team of detectives and forensic experts look into two separate cases.

Firstly, they look into the case of Patrick W. Kennedy, a man who was found murdered in his home in Dahlonega, Georgia in November 1984. Despite extensive investigations and even a $10,000 reward being offered, the case remained cold. However, years later, after advancements in DNA analysis, a semen stain found on the victim's shirt was retested, and a match was finally found. The episode delves into how the detectives traced the suspect, and how they were able to obtain a confession from him, resulting in his conviction.

The second case the team looks into is the disappearance of Peggy Carr, a 32-year-old woman who vanished without a trace in June 1979. Peggy had left a bar in Oxford, Mississippi, and was last seen hitchhiking towards Memphis. Despite extensive searches and investigations, there was no sign of her, and the case remained unsolved. However, years later, Peggy's mother received a phone call from a woman claiming to be Peggy, saying that she was alive and well. The episode follows the Cold Case team as they try to track down the woman and determine whether she is indeed Peggy Carr or an imposter, and what happened to her all those years ago.

Through interviews with family members, law enforcement, and experts in forensics, the episode paints a detailed picture of both cases and their investigations, offering insights into the techniques and technology used to solve long-cold cases such as these.

Overall, "A Killer's Skin; Where's Peggy?" is a gripping episode that showcases the tenacity and determination of the detectives and forensic experts who work tirelessly to bring justice to the victims of cold cases.
