Within our legal system, the crime of murder has NO statute of limitations. Homicide investigators see the job of bringing these killers to justice as a solemn duty. They realize that justice is owed not only to the deceased victim but to the family and friends left behind.
The Austin Police Homicide Cold Case/Missing Persons Unit is tasked with following all leads and evidence in unsolved cold case investigations.
The Cold Case/Missing Persons Unit has unsolved homicide and missing persons cases dating back to the 1960s. The review process includes evaluating cases, suggestions for further investigation, and a review of current forensic and computer technologies such as DNA and AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System) and other investigative techniques used by detectives.
Please review the Cold Case/Missing Persons summaries. If you have information about any of these cases, please contact the Austin Police Department Homicide Tip line at 512-477-3588, Crime Stoppers at 512-472-TIPS (512-472-8477), or by email at apdcoldcasemissingpersons@austintexas.gov.
