Oxygen Media, the network for high-quality crime programming, kicks off a brand new season of true crime investigative series “Cold Justice” on Saturday, August 4 at 6/5c.  From executive producer Dick Wolf and award-winning producers Magical Elves, the series follows veteran prosecutor Kelly Sieglerand her rotating team of seasoned detectives – Johnny Bonds, Steve Spingola, Aaron Sam, Tonya Riderand Abbey Abbondandolo, as they dig into small town murder cases that have lingered for years without answers or justice for the victims. The “Cold Justice” team has worked with local law enforcement from across the country on over 65 cases, and has successfully helped bring about 37 arrests and 18 convictions.

“We have been on the road for the past few months and have been hard at work delving into unsolved homicides that have broken our hearts,” said Siegler. “Since our first case this season in Wisconsin, we have continued to make progress and we can’t wait to share this season with all of you.

In the season premiere, “Small Town Secrets,” Kelly and Steve head to Oneida County, Wisconsin to investigate an unsolved homicide of a wife and mother, Barbara Mendez. The case becomes personal after they receive a letter from the victim’s daughters. Their search uncovers a town’s dark side, crimes against children and lies within a church.
