Cold case investigation
Our multidisciplinary teams of former law enforcement, forensic scientists, medical personnel, investigative genetic genealogists, and other disciplines give cold cases a fresh look.
Cold case investigations
We often assign a case or group of cases to a “working group.” These groups typically have anywhere from two to six members. The groups study the case, prepare timelines, evaluate next steps, and basically “work” the case from scratch. Then we create a final report and recommendations to deliver to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Special projects
We often need limited-time assistance on projects and may turn to project volunteers of varying degrees of skill level or expertise, depending on project needs. These projects may include:
-
Cold case inventory research
-
Records requests
-
Photographing or filming a crime scene
-
Video or audio editing
-
Interviewing experts
-
Providing local transportation
-
Assisting with social media campaigns
-
Other initiatives
Subject matter experts
Some of our volunteers have a particular skill set or experience and can help us understand evidence or help with operations. This might include medical, legal, metallurgical, audiovisual, fundraising, or other expertise.
