A mystery writer has many interesting areas to explore in writing about murder. One of them is the Cold Case. An example of this is the recent solving of a thirty year old case involving the murder of a Montana woman. San Francisco police used DNA evidence to connect the murder to the California “Trailside Killer” who murdered seven hikers in the San Francisco Bay area. He is currently a death row inmate. What an intriguing plot this would make.
