SPOKANE — The Spokane County sheriff’s office has created a cold case unit of two detectives to focus on unsolved cases.

They may pulled off to work on a major crime, but the goal is to make progress on 45 open cases, the oldest dating back to 1948.

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich told The Spokesman-Review that the cold case unit may be expanded by building a volunteer team of retired officers.
