Over the years, so many families shared their stories with me even when it was painful. Writing about crime is never easy but I am so appreciative to the families, victims, and investigators for their trust over the years. Thank you. #truecrime #coldcase @brandeispress.bsky.social

Sometimes police know who is responsible but proving it can take years. Cold case units tackle what some consider unsolvable. #truecrime #coldcase

With an estimated 250,000 unsolved murders in the US yearly, detectives who investigate the cases are the unsung heroes to families. One murder unsolved leaves one murderer on the street. #coldcase #truecrime

Every day, children go missing. Some are runaways. Some victims of parental abduction. Most return safe. Then there are the ones who don't.
