Today on Family Talk.

Hello, everyone.

This is Dr. Meg Meeker coming to you from the International Christian Retail Show in Orlando, Florida.

And today I'm joined by a former homicide detective.

I love whodunnits.

But you did the real life.

Who's used as skills as an investigator to seek out the truth of the Gospels.

I'm telling you this man has a powerful story, and his book is intriguing and really fun to read.

His name is Jay Warner Wallace.

He's a former L.A. County Cold Case Homicide Detective.

Jim, thank you so much for being here. Well, Meg, I already told you what a big fan we are. My wife and I are of your work. So I was just delighted to get a chance to sit with you. Well, thank you. This is a fabulous conference. And as I told you, before we started the air, I'm going to make a couple of my loved ones read your book. It's pretty cool tell us right out the shoot what's a

cold case well you know every other case and of certain crimes of its robbery or burglary or any kind

of thefts these all have a statute of limitations those are things that if i don't catch the bad guy

in the first seven or nine years they're going to expire i can't go back and do those cases but

murders never there's no statute of limitations they never expire so, they're going to expire. I can't go back and do those cases. But murders never,

there's no statute of limitations. They never expire. So if 30 years go by, 35 years, and my cases

are all in that range. Really? Yeah, they're all old. I just did a case that was on Dateline

about a month ago. And those cases are all in that 25 to 35 year range. That case was from 1979.

And we arrested that guy in 2009.

He bailed out immediately. Robert Shapiro was his attorney. And we waited another five years before we went to trial late last year. So I've been working these cases for years and years.

I continue to consult with the LADA's office. I just feel like this is an important work.

You've got families out there
