SOLVED: West Virginia Cold Case | Officer Michael Braxton, 31 | Went Missing on Duty (1996–2017)

Описание: When a West Virginia police officer was found dead on a dark mountain road in 1996, investigators searched for answers that wouldn’t come for over two decades. This is the true crime story of Officer Michael Braxton, a small-town cop whose murder went unsolved for 21 years—until a single confession changed everything.
In Parsons, West Virginia, everyone knew everyone. Trust was the foundation of this tight-knit Appalachian community. But on November 14th, 1996, that trust was shattered when 31-year-old Officer Michael Braxton was discovered shot to death near Maple Ridge Road. No witnesses. No clear motive. No suspects.
For over two decades, the case went cold. Detectives retired. Files gathered dust. The killer walked free among the very people who had mourned Michael’s death—coaching children, attending church, living a seemingly normal life.

This documentary explores how persistence, re-examination of old evidence, and one woman’s courage finally brought justice to a case that haunted Tucker County for a generation. From the initial investigation to the shocking 2017 arrest, we uncover how a small-town mechanic hid in plain sight for 21 years.

Join us as we examine cold case investigation techniques, the impact of unsolved murders on small communities, and why some cases take decades to solve.
