Click on the link above to go to the Unloved Crimes website

Unloved Crimes are unsolved crimes.  Someone has to speak for the dead, for those whose lives were taken by another human being. Murder. This is the greatest crime of all and it demands resolution. The detectives assigned to cold cases speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. They seek justice for homicide victims when everyone else has given up. Sometimes these cases are decades old. Evidence sits in boxes collecting dust.  Sometimes the evidence has long since been lost.  You now can be part of this process and help the detectives here solve cases that no one thought could ever be solved. Your fresh take on these crimes could provide the lead, the new direction, that leads to justice for these silent victims of unsolved murders.
