Cold Case: What Is It?

A case is considered cold if there isn't an active investigation taking place. The cops, detectives, or investigators who were working on the case have decided to stop. It might be challenging to proceed after doing everything when a case becomes cold. This may result in missing individuals never being discovered or victims never obtaining the justice they deserve. But that does not prove that the truth is not out there simply because someone else was unsuccessful in finding it. 


Someone who specializes in reopening cold cases is known as a cold case investigator. They are skilled in research, detective work, paying attention to the little things, and getting to the bottom of things. They unearth data and facts that the usual researcher is unable to find. Employing the finest is necessary if you want to discover the genuine truth. Helping to solve cold cases is one of our goals here at Precise Intel Investigation Contracting. For cases that have stagnated, we specialize in applying crime scene reconstruction and crime scene analyses. We employ criminal profiling, reasoning, and inductive and deductive methods to quickly solve a cold case. We provide ideas and counsel to assist in advancing the case, whether working independently or with neighborhood law enforcement.

How Does a Private Detective Handle Your Unsolved Case?

A private investigator can and frequently will enlighten an unsolved case. A closed case only indicates that the police investigation was fruitless. If justice has not been served in your cold case, a private investigator can use modern, trustworthy, and efficient techniques to look into what happened. At Precise Intel, we put a lot of effort into finding fresh leads, reviewing previous work, and creating original hypotheses to aid in the discovery of the truth. For a cold case, we employ the following techniques:

  • Specialized statistical computer operations and data analysis.
  • Rationalize the succession of events.
  • Interview every single witness and scour the area for any further witnesses or acquaintances to speak with.
  • Communicate with the local police and authorities.
  • Use cutting-edge logical analysis to generate fresh leads.
  • Criminal scene investigation.
  • Examine all of the images from your case once more from a new angle.
  • Use the latest sophisticated computer technologies to enhance and enrich digital photographs.
  • Look into the DNA evidence.
  • Undercover operations.


Even cases with the best of intentions can occasionally be solved erroneously; these cases are frequently reopened and then become stalled for months. Unfortunately, there are situations when the police just lack the time or resources to conduct an exhaustive investigation. An expert and knowledgeable private investigator might use certain abilities and resources to steer them in a new or uncharted route. We don't want criminals to go unpunished, particularly if an innocent person is serving the sentence in prison. 

The Role Of A Private Investigator In An Unsolved Crime

Contrary to what you would think, a private investigator's position in unsolved cases probably looks a little different. The fact that a private investigator is independent of the police is one of their major advantages. This not only changes their viewpoint, but also provides them more flexibility and time to carefully examine leads, hints, and facts. With such benefits, a private investigator may concentrate on questioning witnesses again and gathering new leads. They are the ideal candidates to handle an unsolved case due to their distinctive professional backgrounds.

  • A private investigator can fill a gap in law enforcement

    Despite the fact that our society depends on the police to maintain the law and safeguard the populace, they are unable to investigate every single reported crime. They might not be able to start an investigation at all, depending on the circumstances. Unlike the police, a private investigator is not subject to the same limitations. This is not a result of them being superior to or above the police. It simply implies that they are subject to fewer limitations than law enforcement personnel. Although there are still severe rules protecting innocent civilians, private investigators are better prepared and do not have to follow the same line of command.

  • A private investigator questions witnesses again

    The police must frequently choose between making swift arrests or filing an unsolved crime away due to resource limitations. They seldom have the chance to speak with witnesses, family members, close friends, and first responders again. A private investigator is a skilled expert who has received analytical and interviewing training. They frequently provide authorities with fresh leads or information as a result of alterations in witnesses' accounts, forgotten information from the family during the crisis, or even changes in suspect information that occurred after the investigation was closed. Any of these might contribute to solving a crime.

  • A private investigator gathers evidence

    Evidence gathering is the most practical solution a private detective may provide in the instance of an unsolved crime. Even decades after a crime has been committed, it is still feasible to uncover fresh information, but more challenging as physical evidence fades and leads get stale. PIs can communicate swiftly and effectively after they find pertinent information since they frequently work with or for law enforcement. The ability to thoroughly understand regional laws, permits, and processes is one of a private investigator's most crucial abilities because laws differ from area to region.

  • A private investigator presents a new angle

    The likelihood that someone will discover anything new increases as more individuals analyze a case. Even if the actual evidence is outdated, a private investigator's viewpoint could provide resolution. This is due in part to the fact that private investigators receive different training from police officers and other law enforcement officers. They are not subject to the same demands and policies, thus they have more time to think about possibilities and issues. The personal experience could occasionally be the determining aspect. Whether a private investigator challenges a local presumption or offers some local insight, that novel notion may completely alter the way in which the evidence in an open case is analyzed.
