History YMMV / ColdCase

** Many of the one-off victims have noticeable fanbases of their own and sometimes even fans who wouldn't have minded seeing them star in a non-murder mystery story, such as Sean "Coop" Cooper ("Forever Blue"), Carrie Swett ("That Woman"), Roy W. Dunn ("The Brush Man"), Daniel Holtz ("A Time to Hate"), Rita Baxter ("The Sleepover"), Rita Flynn ("Pin Up Girl"), Alice Miller ("Factory Girls"), Eve Kendall ("Lovers Lane"), Tom and Della Lincoln ("Badlands"), Daniela ("Daniela"), Greg Vizcaino ("Discretion"), Zeke Williams ("Strange Fruit"), Patrick Bubley's brothers ("Saving Patrick Bubley"), Julian Bellowes ("Libertyville"), Jimmy Tully ("Shore Leave"), Ray Takahashi ("Family 8108"), Sadie Douglas ("The Letter"), Joe Young ("Kensington"), Marlene Bradford ("A Dollar, A Dream), Dexter Collins ("Street Money"), Frank [=DiCenzio=] ("Frank's Best"), Gonzalo Luque ("Stealing Home"), Rainey Karlsen ("Stand Up and Holler"), Mike Chulaski ("Cargo"), Sam Randall ("Boy Crazy"), Terrance Carter ("Wunderkind"), Andy Rierdan ("Andy in C Minor"), Maurice Hall ("Shuffle, Ball Change"), Skill Jones and Madison Reed ("8:03 am"), Miriam Forrester ("Wednesday's Women"), Danny Finch, ("One Small Step"), Jane Everett ("Breaking News"), Colin Miller ("Wishing"), Ally Thurston ("Wings"), Laura [=McKinney=] ("True Calling"), Pete Doyle, Sr. ("Bad Reputation"), Ben Feldman ("Witness Protection"), Patrick "Rifle" Lennox ("November 22nd"), Jack Chao Lu and Tam Sung ("Chinatown"), Vivian Lynn ("WASP"), Mitchell Baye ("Churchgoing People"), Carlos Espinosa ("Bombers"), Harry Denton ("The Runaway Bunny"), Felicia Grant ("Almost Paradise"), Dana Tucker ("The War at Home"), Tamyra Borden ("Spiders"), Nadia Koslov ("Triple Threat"), Donalyn Sullivan ("Read Between the Lines"), Ellie [=McCormick=] ("Revolution"), Laurie Dunne ("The Promise"), Mia Romanov ("Metamorphosis") Nash Simpson ("Hoodrats"), Sonny Sandoval ("Dead Heat"), Ed Dubinski ("Lotto Fever"), Billie Ducette and Rose Collins ("Best Friends"), Melanie Campbell ("Fireflies"), and Hank Dempsey ("The House") ([[spoiler:the last three of whom turning out to have survived their apparent murders]]).

** Many of the one-off victims have noticeable fanbases of their own and sometimes even fans who wouldn't have minded seeing them star in a non-murder mystery story, such as Sean "Coop" Cooper ("Forever Blue"), Carrie Swett ("That Woman"), Roy W. Dunn ("The Brush Man"), Daniel Holtz ("A Time to Hate"), Rita Baxter ("The Sleepover"), Rita Flynn ("Pin Up Girl"), Alice Miller ("Factory Girls"), Eve Kendall ("Lovers Lane"), Tom and Della Lincoln ("Badlands"), Daniela ("Daniela"), Greg Vizcaino ("Discretion"), Zeke Williams ("Strange Fruit"), Patrick Bubley's brothers ("Saving Patrick Bubley"), Julian Bellowes ("Libertyville"), Jimmy Tully ("Shore Leave"), Ray Takahashi ("Family 8108"), Sadie Douglas ("The Letter"), Joe Young ("Kensington"), Marlene Bradford ("A Dollar, A Dream), Dexter Collins ("Street Money"), Frank [=DiCenzio=] ("Frank's Best"), Gonzalo Luque ("Stealing Home"), Rainey Karlsen ("Stand Up and Holler"), Mike Chulaski ("Cargo"), Sam Randall ("Boy Crazy"), Terrance Carter ("Wunderkind"), Andy Rierdan ("Andy in C Minor"), Maurice Hall ("Shuffle, Ball Change"), Skill Jones and Madison Reed ("8:03 am"), Miriam Forrester ("Wednesday's Women"), Danny Finch, ("One Small Step"), Jane Everett ("Breaking News"), Colin Miller ("Wishing"), Ally Thurston ("Wings"), Laura [=McKinney=] ("True Calling"), Pete Doyle, Sr. ("Bad Reputation"), Ben Feldman ("Witness Protection"), Patrick "Rifle" Lennox ("November 22nd"), Jack Chao Lu and Tam Sung ("Chinatown"), Vivian Lynn ("WASP"), Mitchell Baye ("Churchgoing People"), Carlos Espinosa ("Bombers"), Harry Denton ("The Runaway Bunny"), Felicia Grant ("Almost Paradise"), Dana Tucker ("The War at Home"), Tamyra Borden ("Spiders"), Nadia Koslov ("Triple Threat"), Donalyn Sullivan ("Read Between the Lines"), Ellie [=McCormick=] ("Revolution"), Laurie Dunne ("The Promise"), Nash Simpson ("Hoodrats"), Sonny Sandoval ("Dead Heat"), Ed Dubinski ("Lotto Fever"), Billie Ducette and Rose Collins ("Best Friends"), Melanie Campbell ("Fireflies"), and Hank Dempsey ("The House") ([[spoiler:the last three of whom turning out to have survived their apparent murders]]).

** Plenty of victims in the show are popular for a wide variety of reasons, but some inspire a special amount of protective feelings for an adorable combination of vulnerable moments, occasional excitement, and good intentions through their episodes, such as brave, idealistic, friend-seeking {{Lovable Nerd}}s Rita Baxter from "The Sleepover" and Danny Finch from "One Small Step", GoodBadGirl Carrie Swett from "That Woman", dog-loving BenevolentBoss and single parent Frank [=DiCenzio=] from "Frank's Best", DeafComposer and ClassClown Andy Rierdan from "Andy in C Minor", and DefectorFromCommieLand singer Nadia Koslov from "Triple Threat".

** "Family" can be seen as this. Yes, the killer and the kidnapper do end up being arrested for their crimes, but the fate of the mother and daughter is unlikely to end well; the girl is still [[BrokenBird damaged]] from her years of growing up without a father, her knowledge of mother abandoning her at birth, and being exposed to the harsh world of foster care (or it was in her case). The mother, meanwhile, lives hand-to-mouth in a group home, virtually has no skills to come by, and is seen as still [[NervousWreck emotionally wrecked]] by the end of the episode, even with the HopeSpot between the two women reuniting and all.

** Watching the season three episode "Death Penalty: Final Appeal", the season four episode "Fireflies" and season five episode "Spiders" ends up this due to the actors in the episode (Creator/MichaelJace playing a character who was ''innocent'' of the crime he was executed for, Dee Jay Daniels playing the lead suspect who was exonerated and Johnny Lewis playing the younger version of the killer) committing murders in real life.

** The main victim, Martha, in "Lonely Hearts". We're repeatedly told that she's extremely unattractive and has no chance with men, and even the detectives, in a surprising display of insensitivity, comment that her traditionally-handsome boyfriend "must've had some kind of fetish." In reality, while she's somewhat overweight and by no means supermodel-gorgeous, she comes across as an adorable ManicPixieDreamGirl type [[spoiler:apart from being an accomplice to a SerialKiller, that is]], and in the scene she first meets her lover, she has a flower in her hair and is fairly pretty.

** The (innocent) frenemy of the victim in "Factory Girls", depicted as pitifully jealous of her popularity at their workplace, as well as her happy marriage, to the point where she blatantly tries to interfere in the victim's relationship by making herself look like the better option. All because she's considered an OldMaid at only 22 (by the standards of when the episode is set) and regarded as a PlainJane when she is clearly no less attractive than any of the other women seen throughout the episode.
** The victim in "The Sleepover" is considered unattractive and nerdy by the other girls, who deem her unpopular at school. In reality, she's adorkable and quite cute. Then again, the [[AlphaBitch girls]]' opinions are clearly not meant to be taken at face value.
** Tina in "Rampage" is referred to as a {{butterface}} (as in everything is hot "but her face") by her [[SmugSnake meathead]] [[JerkJock ex-boyfriend]]. [[IAmNotPretty She even calls]] ''herself'' a "hit and run queen". Oh yeah, for those of you who haven't seen the episode [[http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0115297/mediaviewer/rm2242182400 this]] is the aforementioned "butter face".

** Jill Shelby from "Look Again" behaves like a normal, excitable, level-headed teenager despite having an abusive father whose beatings hospitalized her at least twice by the time she was 15 and an abusive boyfriend who degrades her and is rumored to hit her, in addition to cheating on her with her best friend.

** Karen Watson in "The Good-Bye Room". She initially comes across as a violent and crass girl, having been expelled from her school for beating another girl with a rock. Throughout the episode, she repeatedly scoffs at her friend [[WideEyedIdealist Hilary]] for looking forward to giving birth to her child, which she personally saw as a nuisance. When Karen finally gave birth to a boy, however, she fell in love with him on sight and was heartbroken to have to give him up for adoption with only fifteen minutes to say goodbye. Hilary attempted to reassure her, hugging her and telling her that he was going to a wealthy lawyer's family and that he would be well taken care of, but Karen only repeated again and again that she "wanted him back in his bassinet". In the present, it's mentioned that she spent decades searching for her son, joining multiple adoption search groups. At the end, [[spoiler:she chased after Hilary when the latter tried to escape from the institution with her daughter, jealous that '''she''' got to keep her child, and then loses it so completely that she starts to think Hilary has ''her'' baby, and kills her to get "him" back. Back in the present, Rush arrests her for Hilary's murder, but also gives her a file with information about her son.]]

** Creator/JenniferLawrence appears as the present-day version of a teenage girl whose mother was the victim in "A Dollar, A Dream".

** Creator/SungKang plays the murder victim in "Who's Your Daddy?"

*** In the same episode, young Nick Vera was played by Daniel Vincent Gordh, who would later play William Darcy on the Emmy-winning ''WebVideo/TheLizzieBennetDiaries'' web series.

** ''Film/BlackPanther2018'' stars Creator/ChadwickBoseman and Creator/MichaelBJordan portrayed characters in season 6's "Street Money" and season 5's "Wunderkind", respectively: the former was the victim of the episode while [[HilariousInHindsight the latter was the killer.]]

** From that same episode there's a flashback to poor [[TheWoobie Sarah]] declaring that "if she died tomorrow, no one would notice" [[spoiler: and indeed nobody did! It was almost too easy for [[BitchInSheepsClothing Johanna]] to steal her identity.]]

** Channary Dhiet from "Who's Your Daddy" is an opium-addicted war refugee who is stuck in an EthnicMenialLabor job and has a StalkerWithACrush, but is rarely seen without a smile, and is able to pretend that many of her problems don't exist.
