“Cold Case Files Classic” is another series on Netflix. I chose to watch this one after the unfinished questions from the “Unsolved Mysteries” I wanted something that would give me a definitive conclusion. This series is a 1999 documentary series about cold cases that they end up closing.
The first case that they look at is baby for sale. It first shows you the situation where they find the remains of an infant and for years they had no leads. They didn’t know where this baby came from. All they found were tire traps and a boot print but other than that nothing.
Years later this guy is talking to his girlfriend and she says that she thinks her brother-in-law killed his daughter. He calls the police and gives them the tip then they start searching for birth records which they find so they had no school records. They need some sort of evidence that she made it to school, but they find nothing.
They feel that this is enough evidence to confront them. When they do, the mom says that her baby was stolen from her car and the dad says nothing, which is suspicious.
The series keeps you in just the right amount of suspense. It shows you what the investigators went through all the different options they considered and how they connected the pieces.
It’s super interesting to see how the inner workings of an investigation like this goes.
I give the series a three out of five stars overall and a one out of five stars on the scariest scale, It’s not scary, but it’s not really meant to be. It’s about real life stories how they really happened.
I would recommend this series to anyone who is interested in police investigations, anyone interested in murder or murderers and anyone who likes any crime series.
I really like this series because it goes over crimes that are out of the ordinary like a couple finding a body in a barrel in the crawl space under their house, it’s just things that stick out.
It’s a great series and I think it deserves a watch.
