In the fourth episode of season one of "Cold Case Files Classic," viewers will be taken on a journey through two chilling cases that had detective teams working tirelessly to reconstruct the crimes and find justice for the victims.
The first case, "Reconstructing Murder," follows the story of a young woman, Marilyn Habian, who went missing in 1986 and was found brutally murdered three days later. The case went cold after years of investigation with no solid leads, but with advancements in forensic technology, detectives were able to reexamine the evidence and build a case against a suspect who had been overlooked in the initial investigation. The episode takes viewers through the crime scene, detailing how detectives pieced together the evidence to finally bring the killer to justice.
The second case, "Fire Flicks," explores the tragic story of a pregnant mother and her two young daughters who were killed in a house fire in 1992. The fire was believed to be caused by a faulty electrical socket, and the case was initially ruled an unfortunate accident. However, after a tip from a prison informant, detectives discovered that the fire was no accident and was actually started by the husband and father of the victims who was seeking to collect insurance money. The episode takes viewers through the heartbreaking details of the crime and the investigations that led to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrator.
Both cases showcased in this episode highlight the importance of never giving up on cold cases, and the power of forensic technology and investigative techniques in bringing closure to families and justice to victims. "Reconstructing Murder" and "Fire Flicks" are two gripping stories that will have viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
