Cold Case Unit

The Cold Case Unit was formed to reactivate and review previously unsolved homicides. The Squad is made up of experienced investigators. Using a combination of new forensic technology, computer databases, re-interviewing of witnesses and review of the original investigation, investigators have been able to develop new approaches and strategies to the cases. The Richland County Cold Case Squad was formed to provide closure to family members of those who have been murdered and hold offenders accountable for what they have done.

If you have any information on the "cold" or unsolved murder cases listed below, or any unsolved murder, please call us at (803) 576-3000. Together we can bring relief to tragic situations and bring the guilty to justice.
