A Paducah homicide cold case gets another look tonight.

The show "Cold Justice" will be about the murder of Dr. Frank Shemwell of Paducah. Shemwell's body was found in his burned home in July of 2006. His wife, Penny Baird Shemwell was a suspect and questioned repeatedly, but no charges in the death were ever filed. She did go to prison shortly after Shemwell's death for felony shoplifting and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.

On "Cold Justice" a former prosecutor and a crime scene investigator try to solve old murders.

Local police are tight-lipped about tonight's show, but now in its third season, the show has gotten 21 arrests, three guilty pleas, and three murder convictions.

"Cold Justice" airs tonight at 7 on TNT.
