Cold Case Spotlight – Carrie Singer (update 2.0)
/in Cold Case Spotlight, Update, Virginia /by Project Cold CaseUPDATE 2.0: After 21 months we are finally able to talk about something that has been going on behind the scenes since March 2016. That is when we were contacted by a television production company asking if we could help them identify victims of unsolved homicides.

It has been a long road with plenty of ups and downs but starting on Thursday, January 4, 2018 at 9pm, the Discovery Channel will air their all new season of Killing Fields Murder Isle, featuring the cold case of Carrie Singer, the second victim we ever spotlighted and the daughter of Project: Cold Case victim advocate, Patty Lord.
