A '''cold case''' is a crime or an accident that has not yet been solved to the full and is not the subject of a recent [[Criminal procedure|criminal investigation]], but for which new information could emerge from new witness testimony, re-examined archives, retained material evidence, as well as fresh activities of the suspect. New technical methods developed after the case can be used on the surviving evidence to re-analyze the causes, often with conclusive results.
