4:46Now PlayingWhat’s it really like working multiple homicide cases at once?
In this Q&A, I answer a question I get all the time:
Did I enjoy digging into cases?
The answer is yes—but there’s a side of the job most people don’t see.
When you’re carrying 15 to 20 open cases at a time, your mind never shuts off. You’re waking up in the middle of the night thinking about evidence, suspects, and what you might have missed. That constant pressure is what makes a good detective… but it also comes at a cost.
In this video, I break down:
Why digging deep is critical in cold case work
What it’s like juggling 15–20 active investigations
How the job affects your sleep, health, and long-term well-being
This isn’t TV. This is the reality of being a homicide detective.
