Well, I'm going to tell you two words that, when put together, are going to absolutely ruin your day. Gun library. And unfortunately, that's exactly what it sounds like. A location that has a large store of weapons that people can check out like books. Here's Chief Carl explaining how it works.

Meaning, this piece of evidence that seems like it should have led police straight to their suspects instead led them on a wild goose chase of trading hands and stash houses that didn't lead them anywhere. Since then, Javid's case has grown colder and colder. There was one seemingly promising tip that came in after Connecticut put out its first deck of cold case cards.

This tip wasn't about the prime suspects, Tyrone and Mike, who, again, were done talking to police. A man who was incarcerated, we're gonna call him Arthur, started calling detectives and prosecutors over and over, insisting that he was there when Javid was killed and knew who did it.

Hoping this could be a big break in the case, police sat down with Arthur and went through a photo lineup that included photos of Mike and Tyrone. And he didn't pick either of them out. In fact, he told detectives that he was positive it wasn't Mike or Tyrone, but another guy he swore he saw shoot Javid. Detective Roberts had some concerns about Arthur's credibility.

He was already working with prosecutors on another case, and those attorneys said he might not be trustworthy. But Arthur was persistent. He kept on calling police over the course of several years and swearing he knew who killed Javid. Investigators' last contact with Arthur was a couple years ago after Arthur was arrested again.

And Chief Carl says the department got on board. They even brought Arthur out to the scene of the one-stop shooting in the middle of the night to meet with detectives, cold case investigators, and prosecutors. And yet, nothing happened.
