Together with local law enforcement from across the country, the “Cold Justice” team has successfully helped generate approximately 34 arrests and 18 convictions.

From Siegler’s successful track record in the courtroom and Bonds’ interrogation techniques, to Rider’ experience as a detective on sexual assault cases and Spingola’s work on the Dahmer case, they each bring their own perspective and experience to these unsolved cases as they reinvestigate to help solve these tragic homicides.
