In this episode of Cold Justice season 6, entitled "For Love or Money," the team of investigator Kelly Siegler and veteran prosecutor Steve Spingola head to Fort Myers, Florida to investigate a case that has gone cold for over 20 years.
The case involves the murder of a young woman named Lisa Story, who was found strangled to death in her apartment in March of 1991. At the time, Lisa was only 21 years old and was known to be a hard-working, dedicated employee at a local department store. She had recently moved into her apartment with her boyfriend, and had dreams of starting a life with him.
However, the investigation into her murder was plagued with problems from the start. Witnesses were unreliable and there were few clues to go on. The prime suspect, a man named Richard Curtis, was arrested and charged with the murder but later acquitted due to lack of evidence.
Despite the setbacks, Siegler and Spingola are determined to bring justice to Lisa's family and try to uncover new leads in the case. They interview former detectives who worked on the case, friends and family of Lisa, and even go undercover to speak with potential suspects.
As they delve deeper into the case, they discover a web of deceit and mistrust within the community. Some witnesses who were once seen as credible have now been discredited, and Siegler and Spingola struggle to sort through false leads and dead ends.
However, they are able to uncover new information that leads to a surprising suspect and ultimately present their findings to the district attorney's office for consideration of charges.
Throughout the episode, Siegler and Spingola work tirelessly to piece together the evidence and bring closure to Lisa's loved ones. Their dedication and professionalism shine through as they navigate the challenges of a case that has gone cold for so long.
Overall, "For Love or Money" is a gripping and emotional episode of Cold Justice that highlights the importance of persistence and the pursuit of justice, even in the face of daunting obstacles.
