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.

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!!!

Victims are supposed to be notified when the perpetrator that hurt them is released! How could they not have warned him. I am so upset for this man.

Maybe this is my misunderstanding, but the description of this episode mentions Tiffany Taylor, who was murdered by a completely different man,not Maury Travis…?

In addition, I think this narrator, despite her being a social worker, is giving this perpetrator way too many excuses for his behavior !

I agree with Mike on some of his points. I would prefer a different narrator. It’s not her fault, but she does sound like a child. Additionally, she does way too much personal narration and would rather she stick more to the facts.

No one deserves to go through what this woman went through, regardless of her being, what appears to be a “caring, helpful, fair” Madame.

It kills me that Morgan blames herself still to this day! It was society and the police that are at fault! They did nothing except blame Morgan for getting into his car and going into the house with him. Infuriating. Women must never forget how far we have come from this kind of treatment !

I wish there was a better way to track unsolved murders across the country! It floors me how many Clyde-type individuals are out there. I don’t understand why states don’t have an easier way to work together to solve these types of murders.
