The A&E network presents a new episode of Cold Case Files: DNA Speaks, titled ‘A Deadly Heist’, airing on Friday, August 2, 2024, at 9:00 PM. The episode examines the tragic death of 26-year-old jewelry seller Minerva Cantu, who was found bound, gagged, and lifeless in her home with her infant child sleeping in the next room.
The investigation initially points to robbery as the motive, but as the case unfolds, the true nature of the crime becomes more intricate. The question of who could commit such a heinous act, taking a young mother’s life while her child was so close, haunts the detectives. One detective, in particular, feels the weight of this cold case, which remains unsolved for two decades.
As the years pass, the case grows colder, and the trail seems to go cold. However, advances in DNA technology offer a glimmer of hope. The team seizes this opportunity to re-examine the evidence, employing cutting-edge techniques to extract new clues from the old crime scene.
