NEWPORT-The law enforcement official hired to solve "cold", or older, murder cases in East Tennessee said "justice" was a motivating factor for him.

David Davenport, assistant chief of detectives over old cases, a position funded by Knox County, addressed the Newport Kiwanis Club luncheon meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 20.

The former Jefferson County sheriff said that since working in his current capacity, since January 2010, he has reviewed over 200 murder cases. He said DNA was submitted on about 30 of those cases.
