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

Missing: 1992-04-17

I was there and witnessed the entire event. The rescue divers came almost 1.5 to 2 hours after the last wave came over his head and he was gone. An hour after this his body came up over the top of a wave. The ocean was the worst i've ever seen it that day. I stood next to a rescue diver who said we can't go in after him, we will be gone too. The rescue divers never went in the water, it was way to rough for them. The helicopter hovered for a little while and left. ... ...View Post & Comment

Yes, I was there and witnessed the entire incident from when the ball was kicked into the ocean until an hour after a wave came over his head and his body washed over the top of the wave. I witnessed the Coast Guard fl in and divers and attempt to find him. I've been traumatized by this event. Three days ago I started crying at the dinner able remembering this incident while my 18 year old son was eating dinner. The next day i saw my therapist and spoke to him about it. There was nothing we could do, I was standing next to a rescue swimmer who saw him in the water and he said there's no way we can go in there.... ...View Post & Comment
