Ep 10. Death Before I Do/Hollywood Homicide

In season 3 episode 10 of Cold Case Files, titled "Death Before I Do/Hollywood Homicide," viewers are taken on a journey through two chilling cases.

In "Death Before I Do," investigators are tasked with solving the 1982 murder of a young bride-to-be, Jeanne Dominico. Jeanne was found beaten and strangled in her New York home just one week before her wedding day. The investigation was initially stymied by a lack of physical evidence and no clear motive. However, detectives eventually developed a list of suspects, including Jeanne's fiancé, his brother, and their friends. As the case unfolds, viewers are taken through the twists and turns of the investigation, as detectives use forensic evidence, witness testimony, and psychological profiling to piece together what happened to Jeanne and who is responsible for her tragic death.

In "Hollywood Homicide," investigators are tasked with solving the 1991 murder of stuntman, John Ruffner. Ruffner was found shot to death in his Hollywood Hills home, and the investigation quickly revealed that he had been involved in shady business dealings with several high-profile Hollywood celebrities. With no clear motive or suspect, detectives turned to Ruffner's ex-girlfriend, who had a history of making veiled threats against him. As the investigation continues, detectives must navigate the murky waters of Hollywood politics and power, and dodge conflicting witness statements and uncooperative suspects to finally solve the case and bring justice for John Ruffner's family.

As always, viewers are taken on a thrilling journey as Cold Case Files dives deep into the investigations of these two unsolved cases. With never-before-seen footage and interviews with key investigators and witnesses, viewers are given a unique insight into the process of solving some of the most difficult and complex cold cases in American history.
