Saint Leo to offer Cold Case Homicide course investigating Ocala case
Saint Leo University will offer students the opportunity to dig for clues and investigate a long “cold” case for the Ocala Police Department beginning this fall.
Cold Case Homicide (CRM 490) will be offered 5:30 to 8 p.m., Mondays, at the Ocala Education Center, 1930 S.W. 38th Ave. The course will be offered during the Fall 1 Semester, which begins August 20 and ends October 14.
Saint Leo has many partnerships with law enforcement agencies, and counts many law enforcement leaders as alumni, including Ocala Police Chief Greg Graham and Deputy Chief Mike Balken. Since the Ocala area has several unsolved cases, the chief offered one for study in the Saint Leo class.
Any criminal justice student, who is interested in learning about homicide investigations, is invited to enroll, said Dr. Robert J. Sullivan, assistant professor of criminal justice. “We are the only university in the United States that offers this undergraduate course wherein an actual cold case homicide is studied,” Sullivan said. “It is not a case study from a book, but an actual, and typically really old, homicide.”
Those interested in more information about the Cold Case Homicide Course as well as other degree programs, may email ocala@saintleo.edu or call (352) 671-3391.
