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

I am so glad Jodi has clearly not been forgotten. After all this time it saddens me to say she is likely not with us anymore. That being said, her family still deserves to bring her home.

LeeAnna Warner Missing from Chisholm, Minnesota
Missing: 2003-06-14

I wonder after all this time if someone will come forward with a theory, a rumor they heard, or some speculation. It has been a long time. Sometimes revisiting and re interviewing witnesses with fresh eyes helps. Did anyone leave town shortly after LeeAnna disappeared? Was anyone acting strange? Was there accusations flying around about anyone and because emotions where high it was squashed for the sake of 'keeping the peace'? Those are the things worth looking into.... ...View Post & Comment

It is sad there is not an equal focus on missing people that are on the margins like Tamara is. She is a sex worker sure but that doesn't make her less of a person. And she was little so it would't have been hard for someone to overpower her. I hope for her family she is found someday so they don't have to live with the pain of not knowing forever.... ...View Post & Comment

Anthony Allen Shore
Serial Killer: 2008-06-13

Shore's death was delayed because he was trying to confess to another inmates crimes. I wonder if it was Shore's plan to delay his execution or he was just doing it to help someone else out. Likely it was to keep himself alive longer. How stressful for the families of the victims. Thinking they were going to execute him and then it get's delayed. The legal system is such a web of confusion.... ...View Post & Comment
