FBI Announces Partnership In Reviewing Cold Cases

Building on a program launched a year ago, the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice announced new partnerships with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the National Urban League to investigate aging unsolved violent crimes from the Civil Rights era.

"We will do everything we can to close those cases and to close this dark chapter in our nation's history," FBI Director Robert S. Mueller said Tuesday, appearing with representatives from the three civil rights organizations and with U.S. Attorney General Alberto S. Gonzales. "Protecting the civil rights of all Americans is one of the FBI's highest missions, whether the violations occurred four days ago or 40 years ago," Mueller said.

We launched a program in February last year to identify deadly hate crimes that occurred before 1969 and that remained unsolved. Each of our 56 field offices pored over these so-called "cold cases" to see how many could realistically be pursued. Read more at fbi.gov.
