Plot Synopsis

COLD JUSTICE is a one-hour reality series that follows former prosecutor Kelly Siegler and former crime-scene investigator Yolanda McClary, as they travel across America to dig into cold cases involving small-town murders. Siegler is an attorney and former Texas prosecutor who successfully tried 68 murder cases in her 21 years on the job. McClary is a former crime-scene investigator who worked more than 7,000 cases in her 26 years with the Las Vegas Police Department. Together, these two women help local law-enforcement officers and families of violent-crime victims get to the truth by providing a fresh set of eyes on old evidence, superior interrogation skills, and access to advanced DNA technology and lab testing. The duo carefully re-examine evidence, question suspects and witnesses, and chase down leads in order to solve cases with assistance from esteemed detectives, forensic psychologists, and, when possible, the original detectives on the cases. In each 60-minute episode of the first season, Siegler and McClary traveled to a different small town, including: Cuero, TX, where they search for new clues that may point to murder in a 2001 death of a woman that had been previously ruled a suicide; Morehouse Parish, LA, where they look to reopen a 2006 cold case and hope to discover new clues that help solve the murder of an active church member in the community; Dickson County, TN, where they look for new clues that may help solve the 1998 murder of a likeable grocery story owner; Globe, AZ, where they search for clues about an apparent 1988 hit-and-run that may have been the result of a teenage dispute; Palacios, TX, to look for new clues in the 1982 murder of a successful agricultural business owner; and many more locations where murder cases have lingered for years without answers or closure.
