The Virginia Beach Police Department’s Cold Case Squad is staffed with two full-time Detectives and up to two part-time investigators.

The Cold Case Squad investigates unsolved violent crimes where all logical leads were exhausted by the original investigators, and at least five years have passed since any investigative efforts have concluded.

These investigations include homicides, felony stranger sexual assaults, long-term missing persons, and unidentified human remains. 

The purpose of this page is to solicit information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for these crimes. 

Explore the page below for general information and a list of cases currently assigned to the Cold Case Squad. If you have information on any of these cases, please contact the Cold Case Squad.
