Florida Revives Cold Case Playing Cards in Prisons to Solve Unsolved Crimes
Over 5,000 decks featuring unsolved cases will be distributed to inmates, aiming to generate new leads and bring justice to victims.
- The initiative includes photographs and details of 45 homicide victims, two hit-and-run victims, and six missing persons.
- Previous editions of the cards have successfully led to arrests and convictions in several cold cases.
- The program is a collaboration between the Florida Attorney General's Office, Crime Stoppers, and other law enforcement agencies.
- Inmates and probationers across Florida will have access to the cards, with tips potentially earning rewards up to $9,500.
- The effort is part of broader measures to address the declining rate of solved homicides in the U.S.
