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

Charles Stahl Death in Little Falls, NY
Date of Death: 1977-11-08

Yes! I am actually central NY and know this area. In my opinion they would have to know the area to get away. There are a lot of trees, and this area is mostly back roads. Someone who doesn't know the area could get lost. Also it was hunting season if he was wearing camo and had blood, and someone saw him walking or in a vehicle, they probably wouldn't have thought twice about it.... ...View Post & Comment

I have heard so many stories of truck drivers getting away with some pretty awful stuff because of the ability to 'get away' with it. ... ...View Post & Comment
