BRIEFS FCSO launches Cold Case Unit The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office launched a dedicated Cold Case Unit in late summer for the first time in agency history. With the advances in science and technology, Sheriff Rick Staly’s vision was to create a fulltime unit in an effort to provide dedicated and focused attention to these old and unsolved cases. With advancements in phenotyping, blood spatter analysis, genetic genealogy, touch and familial DNA, old cases can now be evaluated for new forensic testing and analysis. The Cold Case Unit will utilize state-of-the-art criminal intelligence gathering and laboratory analysis as well as forensic disciplines to re-examine unsolved homicides, missing person cases where foul play is suspected, sex crimes and other violent crimes.
John “Johnny D” Davis said it’s bittersweet to leave the old location, but the new place is a “Taj Mahal” by comparison.
