LILLY INVESTIGATES THE "ACCIDENTAL" DEATH OF A WORLD WAR II FACTORY WORKER FROM 1943, ON THE SECOND-SEASON PREMIERE OF "COLD CASE," SUNDAY, OCT. 3

"Factory Girls" -- Lilly and the team reopen a case from 1943 involving the suspicious death of a World War II female factory worker, on the second-season premiere of COLD CASE Sunday, Oct. 3 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. David Von Ancken directed the episode that was written by Stacy Kravetz.

A 60 year reunion of World War II female factory workers stirs up memories of a mysterious death. A friend of the deceased confides in Lilly that the death is not what it appears to be and begs her to dig deeper into the case. After several interviews, Lilly soon discovers that the women were not as innocent in 1943 as they now appear to be and she must comb through a web of lies to try to track the real motive and killer.

COLD CASE is a drama about Lilly Rush (Morris) the lone female detective in the Philadelphia homicide squad who finds her niche when she's assigned to "cold cases" -- crimes that have never been solved. Previously, she used her instinctive understanding of the criminal mind on current murders. Now, she's interrogating witnesses of yester-crimes whose lives and circumstances have since changed, making use of today's new science and finding fresh clues to solve cases that were previously unsolvable -- all of which appeals to this smart, driven detective. She's also prepared for the consequences -- that her work will open up old wounds and may lead suspects to commit new crimes. When she hits a dead end, Rush seeks advice from her respected mentor, Lt. John Stillman (Finn). Also on the team are Det. Scotty Valens (Pino), Rush's confident and strong-willed partner; Det. Will Jeffries (Barry); who's been around long enough to serve as Lilly's link to the past, and Det. Nick Vera (Ratchford), a tough cop who's considered the go-to guy for getting a confession. Now, Rush sees her new assignment as a turning point in her career when she decides to make it her business to make sure that no victim is ever forgotten.

COLD CASE is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Productions and CBS Productions. Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Meredith Stiehm are the executive producers.
