Retired Homicide Sergeant, Troy Hillman, covers his journey as an officer and cold case homicide detective, including the infamous Phoenix canal murders - the greatest challenge for him and his cold case team. Troy will detail the particulars of the case, two young women murdered along the canal in the early 1990's, before diving into how his team began working the cases in 2011 with a roller coaster investigation that spanned to total of three and a half years. He continues with how the team utilized a talented profiler and cutting-edge forensic DNA techniques to track down their killer, known as the "Zombie Hunter", who was hiding in plain sight. Troy will also discuss the arrest, the aftermath, and the search for related cases. Finally, he discusses why cold cases matter and his ongoing passion for them.
