Cold Cases
Duval County has more than 1,200 unsolved murders dating back to 1970, but no statewide data is available.
Now advocates from the Jacksonville group Project: Cold Case hope their new online database will help find justice for these many forgotten victims.
We discuss efforts to solve these cases in Northeast Florida and around the state with Ryan Backmann, founder of Project: Cold Cases, Sen. Aaron Bean (R-Fernandina Beach), and WJCT News reporter Lindsey Kilbride.

Feeding Northeast Florida and Lutheran Social Services Partner
It’s a new partnership focused on everything from feeding the hungry in this area, to helping refugees and AIDS patients.

Now, new leaders from both organizations have decided to work together.
Luke Layow, CEO of Feeding Northeast Florida, nd Mary Strickland, president of Lutheran Social Services, join us to discuss their new partnership.
