Recent Testimonials

"After 7 agonizing years of not knowing what happened to my brother, I was finally able to bring some closure to my family after locating him as an Unclaimed victim on CrimeSolversCentral. Thank you for everything you guys are doing and please keep doing it!" - MN

"Thanks to Crime Solvers Central, we found my cousin E***** after she’d been missing for over a year. I posted out of desperation, not expecting much — but within days, people reached out with tips." - LT
"My Aunt N*** was murdered in 1996, and for nearly three decades, our family lived with the pain of not knowing who did it or why. The case had gone cold. We always believed she deserved justice, but we felt powerless — until I found CrimeSolversCentral.com. Someone recognized a pattern from another cold case, and that sparked renewed interest from law enforcement. Long story short, an arrest was made last year. DNA confirmed it. We finally know who took her from us — and they’re behind bars!" - AM

Michael Flaherty Missing from Cascade, Idaho
Missing: 1980-08-25

This is a very interesting case to me because I moved to Cascade, Idaho in 1982 almost two years after his disappearance. I got to know several of the people that knew him including his mother. He was a savant with advanced verbal and mathematical skills. His mother was Swedish, being born in Sweden so Michael spoke Swedish as well as Russian. He was a ham radio operator and had conversations with Russians. He listened to Russian broadcasts frequently. Before it was public knowledge, he identified the sight of a secret Russian nuclear explosion when a radiation detector that he fashioned indicated a high level of radiation in Cascade. By reviewing the jet stream and weather pattern information he was able to locate the time and site of the detonation in the USSR with remarkable accuracy. He notified the FBI and was promptly visited and interviewed by them. He likely was under government surveillance subsequent to this. The Russians too may have monitored his communications. Also of interest, he had been accepted to West Point in his senior year. This certainly makes for an intriguing case. ... ...View Post & Comment
