My Fox D.C. reports today that the U.S. Attorney’s office has launched a new effort to examine “cold” homicide cases, assigning three veteran prosecutors to the effort.
U.S. Attorney Ron Machen says he’s formed the unit in part to send a message to the community these cases have not been forgotten. With new resources and a low homicide rate, Machen says it’s a perfect time to re-examine the hundreds of unsolved murders in the city.
Prosecutors Deborah Sines and Amanda Haines will work with DC Police Detectives. Prosecutor Michael Ambrosino will work on ballistics, fingerprints and DNA evidence in the cases.
Metro PD maintains a listing of unsolved homicides on its website.
