I would have made either the security guard or the female teacher the doer.
That is one episode where it was too politically IMO. Sad to say but in some (not a lot) school districts,anyone white coming in will be viewed as uppity and trying to educate their kids to be more white.
Cold Case critics accuse the show of being too liberal or always trying to make it the white guy,they have a point in this one. -

Another I just saw:
Dead Heat
This plays out pretty much the same as Frank's Best. Why not have the Brit or the woman do it this time?
And so Governor Devlin, because even the cost of freedom can be too high, I REFUSE your pardon! -

One thing you will notice about Cold Case. The doer will almost never be a woman. Other than Criminal Minds (which makes sense) Cold Case is one of the shows that has the largest gap between male and female doers, almost 100.
In many of the episodes, this made sense. In others though, like Debut, Andy in C Minor,The Red and The Blue,there were women who had just as strong, if not stronger motives, and the writers didn't use them. -

The Red and The Blue - Had to throw that one in. For me, this was one of the bigger ones. Yes Dusty was a addict but that motive is weak compared to Edie's. Not only was Truck dumping her and going back to his wife, he was going to abandon their career. For a narcissist like Edie,that would have been too much to take. She should have been the one pulling the trigger,not Dusty. Dusty should have been the one who had kept his mouth shut in exchange for being bribed with drug money.

In the case of "serial killer" episodes like "Mindhunters", "The Woods", "It Takes a Village", "Sabotage", and "The Road", it's generally written less as a whodunnit than it is learning why the doer started killing and how to save their latest victim.
I agree about "Andy In C Minor" though (see OP)
I'd also add "Roller Girl". Wish it had been ANYONE but the boy who was her friend. -

One thing about Wishing it kind of gives away the ending at the start unless there is some twist coming.I know it's a popular episode it's well done but if it wasn't I think viewrs would complain about that more.

Same latter part of the post as the one I put up for Your most hated Cold Case Killers:
Garrett Caine ("Ravaged") - The episode reminded me too much of a great story I read, especially the dog and her trading her body parts. He was such a freaking misogynistic beep that I wished he did it, so that he'll go away and pay. It was funny because I didn't even recognize Steve Sandvoss who I was really in
with before. Ha
Diane Moore ("Schadenfreude") - Again, she didn't do it, but I could pin the whole thing on her. I didn't like how they made it Kitty since she was always such a good friend all for that 'twist'. Just because Diane's husband died on the table didn't make it the doctor's fault, much less her being so bitter and vengeful that she destroyed two lives. I wished she did it just so she can get her just desserts. -

Ironic since she was still having an affair with the man she was suing. Kitty wasn't a huge shock to me as Lindsey's killer. She was a good "friend" because she thought once Lindsey got back on her feet,she'd have her ticket into the world of the rich and famous.
Lindsey finally saw through her..and that's when she got killed.
