Summary

This episode details two cold cases: the 1974 rape and robbery in Looking Glass, Oregon, where a volunteer squad solved the 1975 murder of suspect Benny King, and the 1989 disappearance of Sharon Bloom in Minnesota. In Oregon, retired officers known as the “Cold Case Cowboys” identified the killer through a confession and corroborating evidence. In Minnesota, investigators initially failed to prosecute a suspect due to suppressed evidence, but later secured a conviction using advanced DNA testing on bloody carpeting.
