Intuition guided Barbee plenty of times in the nearly 45 years he chased the bad guys.
[...]
Hardened by combat duty in Vietnam, the gruesome scenes do not faze Barbee.
Its not so much how bad it is, its the why, he said. Why on earth would you do this to somebody? Thats why I took up cold cases.

There is no clear method to how he solves crimes, except to keep working until he does.
You sit down and you talk with investigators and run a what if. Then, boom, something gels.
Sometimes its a stroke of genius that hits when the trail is still hot.
That was the case when a convenience store clerk was shot and killed during a robbery at a Napier Avenue convenience store.
