Description

Based on the iconic, Emmy-nominated series on A&E, this show explores some of the most difficult-to-solve murders, which stymied investigators and went cold, sometimes for decades. In fact, one-third of all murders in America remain open. But thanks to dogged investigators and breakthroughs in forensic technology, these cases become part of the rare 1% of cold cases that are ever solved. Cold Case Files is hosted by Paula Barros.

why is this narrated by Betty Boop? needs a much better, more serious sounding narrator, not one who sounds like she's fast talking after inhaling helium

you're missing some huge details here. based on an abundance of evidence that Barker had been abusing her, she was bonded out in 2017 and pardoned in 2020.

I’ve been hooked on 'Cold Case Files' since the first episode! The way each case is explored in depth, with attention to detail and sensitivity, is truly remarkable. The storytelling is compelling, and the investigative work is top-notch. I appreciate how the show sheds light on cases that have been long forgotten, bringing both closure and hope to the families involved. https://castbox.fm/episode/Future-of-Biodegradable-Custom-Packaging-id6236539-id723237167?country=us

What’s the point of the death penalty when it takes them so long to actually go through with it that the perpetrator dies of natural causes! I hear this happening all the time.Really upsets me! There’s so many people out there that feels like their life doesn’t matter.  I wish I could just gather them all up and give them a big hug and tell them that their life matters! nobody should be treated like an invisible person.

The narrator’s gut or bias is extremely irritating. She’s always expressing her opinions and her own biases. She often guesses what people are thinking and feeling. Please get a new narrator. I thoroughly enjoy the stories, but I don’t think I can listen to this narrator much longer.

It’s people like yourselves that get suckered into paying for podcasts with no ads. These are free for a reason.  I listen to free podcasts all the time. I am able to fast forward through all the ads and for myself, it’s worth it .

There is something extremely wrong with the judicial system to allow this sort of thing to happen. This sadistic nonhuman spent less than a year of the 200 and some years that he was sentenced???. WTF!!!
