Unveiled: S2, E8 - CISM and HPD: Unveiling the Cold Case Unit

In this episode of Unveiled, Sergeant Matt Bond sits down with Detectives Jeff Lawrence and Jill Deskowski to pull back the curtain on Hampton Police Division’s Cold Case Unit. Built from the ground up in August 2023, this team is diving deep into 95 unsolved homicide cases dating as far back as 1972. With more than 100 combined years of law enforcement experience among the unit’s detectives, their mission is clear: to bring closure to families and justice to victims long overdue. From organizing decades of case files, to re-engaging with next of kin, and applying modern forensic science — they’re giving new hope to old cases. Detectives share the emotional challenges of reconnecting with families, the value of community trust, and how even the smallest new lead can reignite an investigation. This episode is a heartfelt look at the determination behind the badge and the stories that deserve to be heard — no matter how much time has passed. 📲 Stay Connected: Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/hamptonvapolice/?hl=en⁠ Facebook:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/HamptonVAPolice⁠ YouTube:⁠ https://www.youtube.com/@HamptonVAPolice X:⁠ https://x.com/hamptonvapolice?lang=en&mx=2⁠ TikTok:⁠ https://www.tiktok.com/@hamptonpdva⁠ 🎧 Be sure to subscribe to follow and don’t miss what’s next! #HamptonVAPolice #MarcusAlert #MentalHealthAwareness #UnveiledPodcast
