250,000 unsolved murders. A clearance rate cut in half. Pre-redacted Epstein files. It's time for citizens to investigate what the system won't.

Active Investigations

Dive into our most active cold cases. Review the evidence, discuss theories, and help us find the answers.

The system keeps failing.
Citizens keep solving.

A Reddit user cracked a case the FBI and a $50K reward couldn't. Podcast listeners got an innocent man out of prison. College students identified a John Doe that stumped professionals for 13 years. Coldcase gives citizen investigators the tools to do what institutions won't.
