    Henry Louis Wallace terrorized Charlotte, North Carolina, from May 1992 to March 1994.  Wallace preyed on lower economic-class Black women between 17 and 35 years old. He knew most of his victims, some through his job at Taco Bell, and gained their trust with his friendly demeanor and gentle nature—concealing a monster fueled by drug abuse and rage against women.  A rarity in that he was an African American serial killer, his murderous rampage spurred controversy throughout the city. Community members accused local police of ignoring the murders because of the victims' race. Wallace attended the funerals of many of his victims and offered condolences to families. The ensuing investigation became the largest in North Carolina’s history.  Wallace was eventually found guilty and convicted of nine counts of murder, but he admitted to more killings while incarcerated; he is potentially responsible for anywhere from 20 to 90 deaths of Black women. Wallace continues to appeal and awaits his execution at Central Prison in Raleigh.  BAD HENRY: The Murderous Rampage of ‘The Taco Bell Strangler’ by Ron Chepesiuk offers valuable insight into the psychology of serial killers and sheds light on issues surrounding race and policing.

    Drug cartels have become a pervasive and highly organized criminal force with a significant global reach. These powerful syndicates control large portions of the illegal drug trade, operating not only within their home countries but across continents. Their operations extend far beyond drug trafficking, often influencing global markets, politics, and even social structures. The history of drug cartels is intertwined with the rise of drug consumption worldwide, as their growth is directly linked to the increasing demand for illicit substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, and marijuana. 
    The origins of modern drug cartels can be traced back to the mid-20th century, when illicit drug trade routes first began to form. Latin America, with its extensive agricultural regions, became a focal point for the cultivation of drugs, particularly in countries like Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. These regions not only provided the raw materials needed for drug production but also became hubs for smuggling operations that reached the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world. 
    Cartels began to emerge as centralized organizations within these areas, with influential leaders at the helm. The most notorious of these early cartels, such as the Medellín and Cali cartels in Colombia, gained immense wealth and power. By the 1980s and 1990s, they had established networks that spanned the globe, trafficking drugs through elaborate and sophisticated systems of production, distribution, and money laundering.

    When Gregory M. Cooper, former head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, founded the Cold Case Foundation in 2013, he had high expectations, but couldn't anticipate the level of response. What started with just a half-dozen or so retired FBI agents and homicide detectives has ballooned to more than 150 women and men who volunteer their time to help families of deceased or missing loved ones bring closure to cases that have gone "cold." 
     
     
     
    The Cold Case Foundation shares riveting and rewarding cases the Foundation has helped solve, from high-profile missing persons cases to decades-old murders. The Cold Case Foundation has contributed to the solving of dozens of cases and is helping hundreds more homicide and missing persons investigations move forward. Police departments and victims' families from throughout the country have been supported by the Foundation's services, which are more than welcome for investigators that are increasingly finding themselves with fewer resources to dedicate to the most difficult cases. 
     
     
     
    The Cold Case Foundation covers not only the investigative approaches the Foundation's investigators employ and recommend, but also the principles and activities that help communities and law enforcement agencies come together to help solve cases that, for whatever reason, have gone unsolved—until now.
