Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird is gearing up to unveil an exciting new initiative aimed at tackling the state’s unsolved murders. On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, she will host a press conference at the Des Moines Police Department, where she plans to announce the formation of a Cold Case Unit dedicated to cracking some of Iowa’s most perplexing cold cases.
The press conference is expected to draw significant media attention, and members of the press are encouraged to confirm their attendance by reaching out to Matt Larson via email at matt.larson@ag.iowa.gov.
Set against the backdrop of the Des Moines Police Department, located at 25 E. 1st Street, the event will commence at 1:15 PM. As the community looks forward to this important announcement, the hope is that the new initiative will breathe new life into cases that have long remained unsolved, bringing justice to victims and closure to families across Iowa.
