“We all know funds are limited, and you can't send the evidence for every case to private labs for advanced testing. We can only send the cases with the best solvability factors. Tell that to a mom or dad who has been waiting years for technology to catch up, but they still can't get justice because the money wasn't there. It's shameful that we indirectly had to tell those grieving parents how much their child was worth. It shouldn't be that way.”
-Sgt. Rich Rodriguez, Cold Case Unit, Houston Police Department
