The Texas Department of Public Safety announced it was expanding a unit that specializes in cold case murders and sexual assaults statewide.

The expansion comes from increased funding from the state legislature that allowed DPS to expand the program to 17 Rangers and three support personnel.

What they're saying: "For nearly 25 years, the Texas Rangers Cold Case Program has helped partner law enforcement agencies bring justice to victims and their families in every corner of Texas," said Texas Ranger Division Chief Scotty Shiver.
