Storyline

The Alzheimer's inflicted widow of a slain church organist begins having flashbacks about her husband's murder, leading Lilly to reopen the case. She is disheveled and babbling wandering the streets. Once returned home it is discovered that years ago her husband, the victim, Mitchell Baye, was found stabbed, left in an alley in a seedy part of town, surrounded by pornography and crack vials. Mitchell's widow, Charlotte Baye, remembers that she was suspicious that he was cheating on her with a fellow church member. Charlotte's son, Ryan, who is also her keeper, asks Lilly to close the investigation, and Charlotte's estranged daughter, Tina, who hasn't seen Ryan who she was so close to in years, also wishes to keep the case closed.

Finally an episode that shows a lot of truth (Spoilers)
19 December 2007 | by See all my reviews

This was a truly great episode in Cold Case. The story is that a man is killed and they assume he was killed by a hooker. But that's not the case at all. Finally there is something on TV that shows that just because you're 'Good Churchgoing People' doesn't actually mean you are a good person.

For years, all around the world, people have been thought to be wonderful because they go to church. I've read things on murderers where people say that they could never have believed it because this guy went to church. Believe it people, Christians are just like everyone else, and just because they go to Church, doesn't mean anything. So good for you Cold Case.

All future episodes are also great and I hope that you enjoy them.
