Chief Tyree Jones spoke to the media about “cold cases” in a brief Facebook reel posted online, the department said. The short video did not include detailed updates or specific case information.
Cold cases are unsolved criminal investigations that investigators sometimes reopen when new evidence, witness information or advances in forensic technology become available. Such cases can span years and often hold significant emotional importance for victims’ families and communities seeking closure.
As a law enforcement leader, a chief typically oversees investigative priorities, resource allocation and community communication. Renewed attention to cold cases can prompt reviews of old evidence, renewed outreach for tips and collaboration with regional or federal partners, depending on the jurisdiction and the resources required.
Details in the Facebook reel were limited. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
