A detective applies their crime-solving skills to an old historical mystery. Either the mystery has remained unsolved in the interim, or the detective has found reason to suspect that the original solution was flawed.
Differs from a usual situation of Revisiting the Cold Case because everybody involved in the original incidents is (usually) dead. This means the detective has no opportunity to re-interview witnesses or suspects and is forced to rely on what physical and documentary evidence remains. It also affects the framing of a successful outcome, since it's too late to make things right for the original victims (though there may be a living relative whose situation will be affected).
Often appears as the premise of a Formula-Breaking Episode for an established detective series.
