Cold Blood: Cold Case

A crime that never should have happened. A case that never should have gone cold. Cold Blood: Cold Case is a gripping feature-length documentary that reopens the 1976 murder of a young Army veteran shot in cold blood while working a quiet shift at a Texas gas station.



On the evening of January 28, 1976, a 27-year-old was shot through the heart while working at a gas station in San Antonio, Texas. At first, it seemed like an armed robbery—except nothing was stolen. No money was missing, no signs of struggle, and the killer had nearly twenty uninterrupted minutes to make their escape. So why was Daniel murdered? For decades, the case has remained unsolved, riddled with contradictions, lost leads, and unanswered questions. Police reports changed over time. And then, two years later, a teenager allegedly confessed—but vanished before investigators could question him. Now, for the first time, Cold Blood: Cold Case reopens the case with never-before-seen evidence and exclusive access to the original crime files and forensic findings. Was this a botched robbery? A targeted hit? Or something even darker? With exclusive access to crime scene materials and chilling new revelations, Cold Blood: Cold Case will take you deep into a mystery that still haunts San Antonio nearly 50 years later. Hosted by Nathan Head, this gripping documentary sheds new light on the forensic details, eyewitness accounts, and police missteps that may have left a killer walking free for nearly half a century. Could the truth still be out there?
