Retired homicide detective Cloyd Steiger opens the blue binder he built over a 36-year law enforcement career—22 of those years with the Seattle Police Department’s Homicide Unit, followed by cold case work for the Washington State Attorney General.

Each file reveals a name, a place and the moment everything changed: From the Café Racer massacre to the Jungle Strangler. From the Pike Pine Hookup Jihad murders to Chinatown’s Lady Monica. From Renton’s Lost Children to the Lady of the Lake at Lake Crescent.

And then there’s Kurt Cobain. Cloyd didn’t walk the scene—but he studied it. The photos. The ballistics. The autopsy. And unlike most, he’s willing to plainly say what the evidence shows—and why that clarity still matters.


"It’s better to know what happened and to know that somebody is being held responsible. But it’s not closure. A mother’s never going to get over the murder of her child—if that child’s three, or fifty-three—she’s never going to get over it. And worse still is a child who just disappears. You never know what happened to them. You never recover a body. In murder cases, there’s no such thing as closure." ~Cloyd Steiger
