The January 2022 effort will be the fifth iteration of PUSH, in which staff, both lawyers and non-lawyers, internally review unsolved homicide files. With fresh eyes, renewed interest and dedication staff have now reviewed more than 200 cases since the project launched in September 2019. Three of those reviews have resulted in indictments returned against men accused of murders and a rape from 1980, 1988 and 1995. More answers are expected in the future. The newest wave of reviews will bring the total reviewed cases to some 250.
