When cold cases are looked at, many officers believe the name of the culprit is already held within the paperwork. Time can restrict an investigation as people move away, forget details or pass away. But it also works in the other way, that loyalties change, people lose the fear of being found out or their conscience finally gets to them and new information is given.

The Salford Murders - The Heavy Bag Killer Case and More
In the spring of 2024, the town of Salford again found itself at the centre of a nightmare when parts of a human body started turning up all over the city. This including an abandoned bunker, the banks of a quiet reservoir, and multiple parks. However, the only clue they would find was from grainy surveillance footage of a lone man carrying heavy shopping bags through quiet streets. That is when they gave this killer the nickname heavy bagman.

The Baby Doe Cases - Victoria & Ava Abandoned & Alone
I first became aware of the cases of Baby Victoria and Baby Ava as both cases happened just a few steps away from my home on the edge of Farnworth. The two cases are very different at first, both centring on the death of a new born child. Both include mothers probably desperate at the time both controlled no doubt by a man who is always right. #mystery #unsolved #coldcase
