Frederick Police Department Releases Cold Case Breakthrough Video
Last month, the Frederick Police Department (FPD) published a video titled “FPD Case # 1988-002163” on its official YouTube channel, highlighting a major development in a long-unsolved homicide investigation. The nearly 35-minute video presents details and evidence related to a decades-old case that law enforcement has recently advanced, drawing attention from the local community and media.
In accompanying announcements on social media, FPD described the video as part of a public outreach effort to share its progress on the cold case and engage residents in ongoing investigative work. While the department did not publicly detail every piece of content in the video, officials emphasized that the case represents a significant breakthrough after many years of limited leads, underscoring the value of newer investigative techniques and community involvement.
The video’s release also aligns with broader efforts by the Frederick Police Department to increase transparency and public awareness of its work solving violent crimes. By documenting its investigative steps and sharing context around the case, FPD aims to strengthen trust with the community and potentially prompt additional information from viewers who may have insights into the decades-old incident.
Residents and anyone with relevant information are encouraged to contact the Frederick Police Department directly. The department has indicated that tips and leads from the public could be crucial in bringing further closure to this and other longstanding cases.
