Talking About Old Crimes

Paul: What are you watching? 

Della: I’m watching a really good show about cold cases. They take unsolved crimes from decades ago and reconstruct them, trying to solve them once and for all. 

Paul: But after all this time, isn’t the trail cold? How do they solve the crimes with no new leads? 

Della: They go over the witness testimony1 and use scientific methods that didn’t exist many years ago. 

Paul: Isn’t there a statute2 of limitations for most crimes? 

Della: Yes, but not for murder. 

Paul: I really doubt a TV show can solve crimes that the police couldn’t crack. Are any crimes really ever solved on the show? 

Della: Yes, of course. 

Paul: How? Through crack investigative methods or a keen eye for detail? 

Della: Deathbed confessions3. 

Paul: Ah.
