Minnesota SF1067 provides a process for reviewing case files of cold case homicides and potentially conducting reinvestigations at the request of certain family members. The bill defines "cold case homicide" as a homicide committed more than three years ago, previously investigated, with exhausted investigative leads and no identified perpetrator. Immediate family members can request a case file review, which must be completed within six months. If the review suggests a full reinvestigation could yield new leads, one must be conducted, excluding those who originally investigated the case.
