Cold Case
I'm excited to announce my nephew will be in the show Cold Case Sunday evening. He'll also be in next week's show (it's a 2 part show). It's not a speaking part, but he did have a lot of fun meeting everyone and being a part of the show.
Click the link below my nephew is the one standing guard on the far left. Since he's a marine this came natural to him.
