Almost Unsolved is a true crime series that explores murder cases where investigations stalled or went cold; often for decades.

On his first night in town a man is brutally stabbed to death and his body dumped along a dirt road.

Years later, detectives re-examine the case, testing decade's old evidence with modern DNA technology.
