Bill overview
This bill proposes the creation of an Office of Unsolved Homicides within the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office. The office would be dedicated to reviewing and investigating unsolved homicide cases, with the goal of potentially identifying new leads or utilizing updated forensic techniques. It aims to provide a centralized approach to these cold cases, potentially offering closure to victims’ families and improving the chances of solving previously unresolved crimes. The bill was introduced by Senator Liz Miranda and has been referred to the State Administration and Regulatory Oversight committee.
