LILLY RE-INVESTIGATES HER FIRST HOMICIDE CASE, A BRUTAL TRIPLE MURDER, ON A REBROADCAST OF "COLD CASE," ON A SPECIAL NIGHT, THURSDAY, JUNE 2

"The Badlands" -- Lilly returns to her first case when she re-investigates a brutal triple homicide, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, on a special night, Thursday, June 2 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Tim Matheson directed the episode from a script written by Chris Mundy. (Originally broadcast 10/3/04)

When the prime suspect proves to be innocent, Rush and the team re-open a 2003 triple homicide at a now-condemned restaurant in a blighted inner-city neighborhood. The diner had been a neighborhood oasis before the owners and their 17-year-old busboy were brutally murdered. The original crime scene was Rush's first case, but she was soon called off to join the Cold Case squad, leaving Vera as the officer in charge. It quickly becomes clear that Vera's investigation was sloppy, which infuriates Jeffries, who grew up in the neighborhood.
