Florida has a population of 22 million residents and welcomed more than 137 million visitors last year. And although the overall crime rate has dropped for an incredible 50 straight years, there are still more than 19,000 unsolved homicides in Florida dating back to 1965. The Cold Case Florida Podcast was created by the Florida Sheriffs Association to highlight some of those cases and offer the public an opportunity to help solve these crimes – bringing justice to the perpetrators and giving closure to the families. Join us as we work with local sheriffs’ offices to close cold cases in the sunshine state. Thank you to the participating sheriffs and their teams for assistance in the production of this podcast.
