Emmy Award Nominees Meredith Baxter ("Family Ties") andJune Lockhart ("Lassie") Guest Star

            "Beautiful Little Fool" -- When a pregnant woman researching her family history comes across disturbing news that her great grandmother, Violet Holley, was murdered and the case was never solved, Lilly tackles the 1929 case, her oldest to date, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, on a special night, Saturday, Sept. 1 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Kevin Bray directed the episode that was written by Liz W. Garcia.  (Originally broadcast 4/9/06)

            Emmy Award nominee Meredith Baxter ("Family Ties") guest stars as Lilly's mother Ellen Rush and Emmy Award nominee June Lockhart ("Lassie") guest stars as Caroline Bartleby, Nick's little sister.

            While the team teases Lilly about her "500-year-old case," she rolls up her sleeves and dusts off the few notes from the crime which only reveal that Violet Holley was from the wrong side of the tracks and became pregnant by a man, Nick Bartleby, who was considered royalty.  Most, if not all, of the suspects from 1929 are either dead or their memories aren't reliable, however, Lilly comes upon Nick's great grandson and discovers recorded tapes that might lead her in the direction of the murderer.  Meanwhile, Lilly's mother, Ellen (guest star Meredith Baxter), announces her engagement and wants nothing more than her daughter to stand beside her during the ceremony.
