Police hopes "Blotter on Demand" solves cold cases

05/21/09

(NECN: Brian Burnell: Hartford, Conn.) - Comcast Cable is joining the Connecticut State Police in an effort to solve cold cases. They're using the power of television to ask for your help.

Sherrie Passaro and Beth Profeta are sisters who lost their mother a long time ago.

Beth Profeta, Mary Badaracco's Daughter: Almost 25 years ago our mother was ripped out of our lives. She would have never left us and there are killers out there and I just want to thank Comcast and the State Police for finally listening to what we've known all along and just go get the bad guys.

What they've known, what they believe is their mother was murdered. But Police have been unable to prove that. Now, with help from Comcast, Beth and Sherrie have new hope.

Comcast is providing space on its digital tier On Demand for "Police Blotter on Demand". The state police have put together profiles of 10 unsolved cases going back 30 years or more, in the hope that what they call "armchair detectives" see something that sparks a memory and leads to an arrest.

Michael Parker, VP-Comcast CT: This is a new innovative crime fighting tool that we hope will enlist the armchair detectives as you heard mentioned earlier be able to help provide information to the state police in solving crime.

Sherrie and Beth do not fool themselves into thinking the Comcast Police Blotter On Demand will lead to the answer to what happened to their mother. But its something.

Sherrie Passaro, Mary Badaracco's Daughter: I hope someone calls or texts but, expect? We expected justice 25 years ago. We've been pushing and praying and been out in the news and doing anything we can for 25 years every year expecting this is going to be the year. Every year we expect it and it hasn't happened so just hope, right now. Just hold onto hope, faith that someone out there is going to do the right thing finally.
