Help solve cold cases in your neighborhood.
ColdCasesClub is where you turn your love of true crime into something real and impactful: a local club working actual unsolved cases to unlock new evidence, motives, and witnesses and present theories to law enforcement. Our clubs bring together passionate individuals with crime experts, public records data and in some cases, friends and family of the victims of unsolved homicides and long-term missing persons.

Rigor, not rumor.
True crime goes wrong when strangers start accusing people online. So we wrote the rules down, published them, and enforce them. Here's exactly what we will and won't do.
Procedural rigor protects every case. We work from FOIA responses, open sources, and the documented process each local jurisdiction requires. If new evidence emerges that could be admitted before a judge, we follow law-enforcement instructions exactly. When a family needs to be notified, our team reaches out directly — never a volunteer, never a public post.
We never name a person who hasn't been charged, and doxxing gets you removed from club immediately.
Every case is coordinated with the local Cold Case Units and the victims family or friends if they're participating.
100% of reward funds go to families or victim-rights groups — and the family always has the final say.

Three steps from listener to contributor.
You don't need a background in law enforcement. You need curiosity, patience with paperwork, and a couple of hours a month.
