"The Promise" -- Lilly discovers a photo of a young girl emailed from her cell phone just before she died in a fraternity house fire, ruled as "accidental," and decides to re-open the case, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, Sunday, Dec. 31 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Paris Barclay directed the episode that was written by Veena Sud.  (Originally broadcast 10/2/05) 

            The picture haunting Lilly is of Laurie, an overweight and reclusive college freshman being held down and forced to drink.  On the night she died, Laurie attended a frat party where her best friend was pledging.  The party was led by a fraternity leader who humiliated overweight female students to entertain members.  Rush is able to identify one of the people in the photo and the team searches for the only person who might have witnessed Laurie's death.
