 Cold Squad Review - Television for Kids at iVillage.com
The syndicated crime drama COLD SQUAD (which originally aired in Canada starting in the late '90s) takes viewers inside the files of some of a Vancouver police department's toughest cold cases, which have been collecting dust for 5, 10, or even 50 years.

In one episode, for example, after a 12-year old is reported missing from her bedroom, Ali enters the world of pedophiles to try to find her.
