This is the Case Rush is on when she takes a Cold Case on info from a maid in the Pilot Episode.
Tom and Della Lincoln and Derek Jackson were murdered on September 27, 2003. This was also the day before Cold Case premiered.
Loosely based on a triple murder in 1982 at Smokin' Joe's Corner, a restaurant in Wynnefield, PA, owned by former Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe Frazier.
In the opening scene, the accused defendant of this crime had the charges dismissed due to inaccurate police work by Detective Vera. ADA Kite, in his last appearance on the series was very angry. He insulted all the Detectives, including Lily by saying "Hey Hat Squad, fix it" In 1992, twelve years earlier, CBS aired a new police drama titled "The Hat Squad" The series was canceled after 14 episodes. They have to assume this was a very specific reference to that old TV series. The term was never used again on the TV Cold Case.
Last appearance of ADA Jason Kite.
