Last week on Cold Case, the team investigated the 2007 murder of good-natured auto mechanic Ed Dubinski whose life changed after he won $8 million in the state lottery.  Dubinski was found robbed and shot to death in an empty lot, which, for the first investigators, looked like a robbery gone awry.  They eventually discovered that the killer recently used the poor man's (well, not really poor-poor) ATM card at a local sandwich shop which led them to reopen the case.

Upon closer look, they found out that Dubinski was a had-working guy who played the lotto every week religiously, when his dream turned into more of a nightmare after his win caused him his life.  As it turned out, he blew all the money within a mere six months with the help of a corrupt business manager, a gold-digging fiancé, and family members that couldn't seem to get enough of dole outs from Dubinski.  With a cast of suspects, Rush and the rest of the team were finally able to crack his ATM PIN that lead them straight to the killer.  Also, Valens needed to reexamine his relationship with Frankie as he met an obstacle that he didn't feel they can overcome.

On tonight's Cold Case, journalism's less than appetizing nature takes center stage as the team discovers that there is more to the 1988 murder of a Philadelphia news anchor named Jane Everett.  Everett was found strangled in the park in the middle of the night right before she was about to report on a huge scandal about a local factory's fatal asbestos levels.  As it turned out, Everett earned the ire of his co-worker Mort after the show jumped to number 1 in the ratings because of her.
