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

The current court setting is January 22, 2027, at 9:15 a.m., designated “JTR,” indicating a jury-trial setting.

Lamontae Salley Death in Philadelphia, MS
Date of Death: 2023-12-08

Hi,
i am a close friend of the family and we really appreciate your kind words :). Yes, there were so many rumors floating around and Lamontae was a very bright soul. He had that type of energy that just makes you smile after a long day. He was funny, goofy, and very intelligent. If you were having a bad day he made it his mission to make you smile. He is truly very missed, especially by his children. They were very young when this tragedy occurred .. so that was a lot for the family to take on. He was the football star of the town, so yes you are correct to say he had so many people that cared about him and loved him !!!! He had many nicknames but his favorite was MOJO lol. An update was made on the case March 2026 and they found Kelley or whatever his name is not guilty ….. still, we honor Lamontae and we keep his memory very much alive. Not only for his classmates, family and those who loved him.. but for his children who had to grow up without their father. #LongLiveLamontae #LLMOJO #34 ... ...View Post & Comment
