    Default I humbly stand before you and request the aid of the Google-Fu Masters

    I know I am not worthy.

    I know I may be lacking in perseverance and talent.

    I would kiss the ground before your feet, but I know my lips are not worthy to be where your godly feet have been.

    I have brought an offering of delicious cookies for you, and with this I beg your assistance for my quest:

    I'm watching 60 minutes right now(I believe I'm a couple of weeks behind you americans), and they're running a story on the murder of Louis Allen. It's not the murder I'm interested in, but when they introduced the FBI agent investigating the case, they said she was running the FBI's "cold case intiative". That is what I'm interested in knowing more about. Would any of you care to enlighten me, perhaps with a couple of linkys?

    Thanks.

    Your most humble servant,
    Horetore

    Looks like it's a thing where the FBI is reopening 100+ unsolved cases from the 1950s and 1960s. Here's a summary of the program you're watching.

    Here's the FBI's official summary of the initiative.

    And just for fun, here's an FBI podcast about it.

    I think there was expiration date for criminal case, 20 or 30 years.

    They arrested a man in Seattle a month or so ago for a 1957 murder in Illinois;

It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

    It's good stuff. Even if it has been 50, 60 years, to finally solve those crimes and catch the bad guy makes me happy.

    In the U.S. it's called the statute of limitations. For certain crimes, such as murder or treason, there is no time limit.
