Criminal Justice Professionals

Kelly Siegler was a prosecutor who worked on more than a thousand different murder cases. Despite the odds of living in a small town like Blessing, Texas and being raised in a humble background, Kelly still pursued her dreams and made a career in law enforcement. Her inspiration is the concept of helping people depending on her to seek justice during trial. In 2008, she came up with the proposal about ‘cold justice’ which was later made possible by Dick Wolf who suggested it to TNT. Cold justice is a reality crime series uncovering murder cases that have existed for a very long time exclusive of proper response. Kelly joined forces with Yolanda McClary who examines crime scenes and took their audience through the steps of identifying a cold case and the approach of obtaining evidence. The show is important as it provides a platform for unmasking murderers who are walking free and ensures closure to the family of the deceased and local officers. She is an inspiration to young girls brought up from humble backgrounds in small towns.
