Cold Case mistake picture Video

Thrill Kill - S5-E1

Factual error: When Dylan gets out of jail, a palm tree can be seen in the background behind him. This reveals that the scene was filmed in Los Angeles, not Philadelphia.

Thick as Thieves - S5-E5

Factual error: Look at the area by the door when we see Margot and Spencer in the hotel room in 1989. The light switch is a flat "Decora" switch, and above the door handle is a black box that houses electronics for a "card key" system. The light switch was not introduced until the 1990s, and while the card key system was introduced in 1985, only very expensive hotels afforded the conversion costs - and the hotel they're at isn't exactly the Hilton.

Sabotage - S5-E12

Factual error: When Rush and Miller pull up to the vacant lot, the Los Angeles skyline is visible in the background. The series is set in Philadelphia. (00:21:54)
