Some murders refuse to stay solved. Others refuse to be solved in the first place.
From the blood-soaked farmhouse in 1912 Iowa where an entire family was butchered with an axe, to the highway rest stops where travelers simply vanished without explanation, Cold Comfort takes you inside twenty-five of America’s most stubbornly unsolved murder cases. These aren’t the famous mysteries that spawned documentaries and amateur detective forums—these are the cases that baffled investigators, terrorized communities, and then quietly slipped from headlines while the killers walked free.
A serial predator who stalked couples along Virginia’s scenic Colonial Parkway. Children who disappeared from their own neighborhoods, only to be found murdered weeks later. Entire families annihilated in locked houses with no signs of forced entry. Red-headed women found dead across multiple states, connected only by their hair color and their killer’s apparent preference for a very specific victim type.
With a sharp investigative eye and the kind of dry wit that seems like the only appropriate response to cosmic injustice, this collection examines what happens when forensic science, dogged detective work, and sheer determination aren’t enough. These are the cold cases that prove the bad guys sometimes really do get away with it—and the families, investigators, and communities left to live with that uncomfortable truth.
Perfect for readers who appreciate true crime that doesn’t promise easy answers or false comfort.
“The only thing more chilling than these unsolved murders is how many of them seem like they should have been solvable.”
