SALEM, Ore. (AP) — John Schultz was a detective lieutenant in Riverside County Sheriff’s Department in California. When he retired to Salem, he stayed involved with law enforcement by helping with handicapped parking patrols and cleaning squad cars.
Jim Miller used to supervise the homicide detectives in Salem. When he retired, he was simply bored.
The pair decided they could better spend their time by volunteering to try to solve Salem’s 19 cold-case homicides dating as far back as 1933.
The Statesman Journal reports (http://is.gd/998bEE ) that Miller and Schultz haven’t been able to solve one yet, but they spend many hours a week sifting through binders of handwritten notes and yellowed type sheets.
