Cold Cases in the American West
About Cold Case Files: Dead West
Cold Case Files: Dead West puts a spin on the Cold Case Files series with a focus on murders in the American West. From Montana to Texas, the show looks at murders in specific locations in the West that were long-unsolved and traces how detectives and cold case units solved them after many years, and sometimes, decades.
Unlike other Cold Case Files shows, the narrator isn’t Bill Kurtis. Instead, this show adds a little western atmosphere with a narrator who sounds like a weathered old cowboy. It’s a regional series similar to Southern Fried Homicide and Sins of the South, but focusing on cold cases.
