The best Cold Case episode - EVER!!!
18 April 2007 | by (Wakefield, England) – See all my reviews

This is without doubt one of THEE best episodes Cold Case has ever done. The Story line was thick as they all are but what made this episode so great was the convincing acting. David Minkiff shined as Colin - the handicapped high school student who is always bullied. The episode was very sad when he found his mother dead after 3 day of being in the bathroom and the scene in which he died was fantastic and strong. As ever - Lilly Rush and Scotty Vallens work well as a pair and their acting talent i feel is what makes this show so appealing to people. ALthough the story line was thick i felt it was rather predictable at the end as i could tell that it was his carer who led him to the tracks.

Overall i would like to congratulate the cast and crew for this awesome (if not a little sad) episode, i thought it was great and even though I'm a man - i wont be embarrassed to say i cried!
