New Bedford Guide and Fall River Reporter to launch ‘Bristol County Cold Case’ show in October

New Bedford Guide and Fall River Reporter will be launching a Bristol County Cold Case show in October. The show will be a weekly series focusing on unsolved murders in Bristol County.

“The Bristol County District Attorney’s office currently has 92 unsolved murders from 1975 to 2017,” said executive producer and co-host of the show Michael Silvia. “Every family that has lost a loved one deserves closure. Our number one goal is to help detectives throughout Bristol County generate leads to help solve the cases we feature.”

The show will be broadcasted on New Bedford Guide and Fall River Reporter’s Facebook page and will be an hour-long. Each show will feature two cold cases in Bristol County, one recent and one old case.

Half of the cold cases are in New Bedford – 51 total. Fall River has 10 cold cases, Attleboro with six, Taunton and Westport with five, Dartmouth with four, Fairhaven, Berkley, Rehoboth, and Mansfield with two and Seekonk, Swansea, and Marion with one each.

The show producers are currently in the planning stages and expect active participation with the Bristol County District Attorney office and local police departments to help generate leads to get some of the cases solved. Family members, friends, or anyone with useful information should contact mike@newbedfordguide.com to be part of the show.

The show is also currently interviewing for co-hosts and producers and looking for advertisers/sponsors/supporters. Interested? Contact mike@newbedfordguide.com.
