Cold Case Episode 6.20 Stealing Home

The Cold Case team reopens the case of the 1999 murder of a rising baseball star, Gonzalo De Armas, a Cuban refugee that was making his way up to big league baseball when he was found murdered on the seedy side of town just a year after he arrived in the U.S. Gonzalo was a star baseball player in Cuba but was banned from the sport by the Cuban government when they discovered he was communicating with a sports agent in the U.S. Gonzalo, having a wife and son to feed, realized that his only hope was to make his way on a raft to the U.S. He and his cousin Juan, who was also banned by the government, decided to try and escape Cuba; Gonzalo made it to dry land but Juan was captured by U.S Immigration, returned to Cuba and eventually made his way back but only after the Cuban government had him tortured. Gonzalo became a hot commodity in baseball and between his shifty agent, a sometimes girlfriend, baseball colleagues that felt sidelined by Gonzalo's talent, and a wife that mysteriously arrived in the U.S only two days after his murder; Rush and the team have an array of suspects and pieces to the puzzle of the last days of Gonzalo's life they need to put together. Gonzalo was a good man that wanted to use his money and talent to help all of those around him but the jealousy and envy of someone he considered a family member was what led to his death.
