I wrote about Detective Wendell Stradford in my book The Restless Sleep, and even though he technically does not work in the Cold Case Case Squad anymore, (he’s part of the Police Commissioner’s detail) he still works on cold cases. A 25 year old case he worked on with Det. John Fogelman and Manhattan DA’s office Detective Siobhan Berry just led to an arrest.
I love this shot of Wendell at the book party for The Reetless Sleep, towering over literary agents Erin Hosier and Betsy Lerner, from my agency, the Dunow, Carlson & Lerner Literary Agency.
I’m so glad to think he’s still out there, they’re still out there, solving cold cases. I know it doesn’t bring the victims back but something about the solving of cold cases seems like such beautiful final justice to me.
