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

William Thibodaux Death in New Orleans, LA
Date of Death: 2025-05-28

I’m the daughter of William Thibodeaux and I’m so deeply hurt that he was taken from his kids that love him very much. My dad was a great man who never met a stranger everyone that met him loved him and respected him because he respected everyone and would give the shirt off his back for someone in need like literally I seen him do it a few times. He isn’t even from New Orleans he went out there with someone he thought he was safe with they had just met through mutual people the reason is unknown why he went to New Orleans he called me when he was on his way to N.O and said he was just taking a ride with Chris (Billy) and they was coming back to Lake Charles where he was living. I have been racking my brain losing sleep for over a year now since this tragedy happened trying to figure out what went on and what caused someone to take my dad’s life. I pray we get answers one day we deserve to know wat happened to our dad. I wish someone would come forward and give us answers for closure. I miss my dad so much a piece of me died with him life has been hell since the day someone took my dad away from me and my siblings. My dad taught me everything a dad teaches his daughter but he never taught me to... ...View Post & Comment

Alexander Licona Romero Death in Berry-creek, CA
Date of Death: 2023-08-04

I’m Harold Rodriguez. I was one of the people arrested in this case. I want to clarify that while the attempted robbery did happen, I had nothing to do with Alexander Romero’s death. I was the only person who turned myself in to the San Francisco Police Department while I was with the body. SFPD took my information, but because the homicide was outside their jurisdiction, they contacted Butte County Sheriff’s Department so they could take the body. What concerns me is that, as far as I know, Butte County Sheriff’s Department did not move forward with an investigation, despite the information I provided, including the names of people I knew or believed were involved. I’m sharing this because I believe the family deserves answers, and I’m willing to provide information if it can help.”... ...View Post & Comment
