I was recently contacted by a state police detective who is working an unsolved homicide case. There is nothing unusual in that, as I previously worked the same case and he wanted to go over my notes and findings relative to his. What might be considered unusual, however, is that the case is nearly 30 years old.
The victim in this case was 25 years-old at the time of his murder and was not considered to be a high-risk victim. Simply stated, he was not engaged in any behavior that would place him in jeopardy of being killed. He was a hard-working, law-abiding family man working a steady job and intent on making a better life for himself and his family. His life was cut short by a single bullet to his heart inside of his own home.
