It was a murder case more than 40 years old that had never been solved. In May of 1964, Charles Eddie Moore and Henry Hezekiah Dee were brutally tortured and murdered by members of the Ku Klux Klan in Mississippi. When CBC documentary filmmaker David Ridgen joins forces with Thomas James Moore to help him investigate his brother's murder, it helps crack a cold case that had largely been forgotten. During filming, Ridgen and Moore discover that suspect James Ford Seale, "formerly believed to be dead by the outside world," is alive.

Mississippi Cold Case is the story of one man's journey to confront the Klansmen who murdered his brother and his friend and to seek justice long denied.

The production of Mississippi Cold Case has been credited with causing federal officials to re-open their investigation into the case. More than four decades later, James Ford Seale has been convicted of kidnapping and conspiracy in the 1964 abductions and killings of Charles Moore and Henry Dee. Seale's appeal was rejected in June 2009. One of Seale's Klan accomplices, Charles Marcus Edwards, is believed to have cooperated with authorities. Both men were confronted by Thomas Moore during the production of Mississippi Cold Case.
