What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
One thing that I've never understood on that awful CBS show Cold Case and I would appreciate if someone could clarify and reaffirm this is: If the Police want to question you about a Cold Case, say its 2 years old, can you just tell them screw you and they can't arrest you for not agreeing to be questioned? If that's so, can they subpoena you to be questioned? In other words if you're not arrested as a suspect, the police can't make you submit to their questioning, correct?
On Cold Case everyone including the eventual guilty party lets the police question them. Why if you're the guilty party would you cooperate, if in fact you can legally tell the police you're not going to speak to them? Would appreciate someone illuminating me on this. Thank You.
