With 800 unsolved homicides, Montreal's police force is bolstering its cold case unit

Montreal's police department is undergoing a major structural shift by expanding its cold case unit to address over 800 unsolved homicides dating back to the 1960s. Under the new leadership of Commander Mélanie Dupont, the force is increasing its dedicated staff to 16 full-time detectives to ensure investigators are no longer distracted by active crimes. This initiative seeks to provide long-awaited closure for victims' families by utilizing modern breakthroughs in genetic genealogy and DNA analysis. While officials acknowledge that not every case can be resolved, the specialized team represents a renewed commitment to justice and transparency. By prioritizing files with viable forensic evidence, the city aims to overcome decades of investigative stagnation and restore public trust in law enforcement.
