Cold case

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article talks about the definition and implications of a cold case, which is what my group and I are researching for our project. It is important to understand the meaning before looking at the whole picture.

Evaluate the article
A cold case is an unsolved case that is not currently under investigation, but could be reopened with the introduction of new evidence or testimony. It is usually a crime that is violent in nature, and there is usually not a suspect that has been identified; if there is a suspect or person of interest, there is not enough evidence present to convict. The article lists some famous examples of cold cases, like the Zodiac killer or Jack the Ripper, as well as a timeline of other cold cases from the 1950s to present day. Everything in the article seem relevant to the topic and well organized. Everything in the article seemed very straightforward and unbiased, solely based on facts and known information. There seems to be a good variety of sources and citations. The only thing I might add to look into is the mention of the Zodiac killer as an example of a cold case, as there has been new information on this case and is allegedly "solved", so it may be good to add this information. The talk page is mostly minor edits to take away potentially biased or confusing / irrelevant information, or questions about new stats to add in.
