Mr. Schiff: Hi. This is Wanted by the FBI. I’m Neal Schiff of the Bureau. And this week we take a look at the FBI’s Cold Case Initiative. Agents and analysts are looking at racially-motivated murders that took place in the past 40 years.
Ms. Deitle: “Currently we have about 106 investigations that are pending.”
Mr. Schiff: That’s Special Agent Cynthia Deitle. She’s the Chief of the FBI’s Civil Rights Unit at Headquarters. She says several civic groups and organizations met with Justice Department and FBI officials about these cases.
Ms. Deitle: “I think it was kind of a compilation of efforts to bring these cases to light and to ensure that justice was served for these victims.”
Mr. Schiff: Deitle says old FBI files are being looked at in detail.
Ms. Deitle: “Old police records that exist; court records; grand jury transcripts.”
Mr. Schiff: You can see the case list on the Internet at www.fbi.gov. That’s Wanted by the FBI for this week. I’m Neal Schiff of the Bureau’s Office of Public Affairs.
