Cold Case

On this show Cold Case, these detectives go around solving these old murders that have been sitting around unsolved for years. My wife is vexed by this show. For one thing, how do these mastermind detectives solve the crimes that detectives couldn't solve immediately after they occurred? Generally by...going around and talking to everybody that might have been involved. Didn't the original detectives think of this? Or were they just really bad at asking questions? What happens over a period of years that makes the killers decide to confess? Couldn't these same questions have been asked right away?

And why are these super-detectives using basic investigative interrogation techniques to solve old crimes? Maybe if they put these brilliant masterminds on current cases, there wouldn't be so many cold cases in the future.
