He founded the Western University Cold Case Society which pairs students with police detectives to help solve crimes, often bringing in a surprising collaborators and experts from various fields including mining, architecture and visual arts. With the success of the Western University Cold Case Society, his University Cold Case Network is expanding with branches forming at universities across North America and partnering with the RCMP, FBI and CIA. In How to Solve a Cold Case, Arntfield lays out the steps to understanding and solving crime. He shows you what to look for, how to avoid common mistakes, recognize patterns and discover what others have been missed.
