Playing Cards May Solve Cold Cases
KENTUCKY....
Lexington police, Bluegrass Crime Stoppers and the Kentucky Department of Corrections announced they have secured a grant to produce cards they hope will help solve cold-case homicides. The idea came from the Pentagon's use of playing cards in 2003 during the search for Saddam Hussein's inner circle. Kentucky Cold Case Homicide playing cards will be distributed in 18 prisons and numerous jails around the state. Cards will feature a photo and description of 52 cold cases in hopes that new leads to unsolved cases will come forward. Kentucky is the 10th state to produce the cards for inmates.
