I’m new here, new at this in general. I’m a true crime junkie, I’m working on a cyber security degree with a major in defense and forensics and I would love to assist in solving a cold case. How do I go about choosing a case to work?

I have found that picking one that interests me the most or something close to home is a good place to start. I am new to this also and still figuring things out too. The cases have a task list and forums so you can see what people are working on and what questions they may heave brought up. Hope this helps and there’s also a forum on getting started too! Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the forums and thank you for joining us. Our first step is creating home pages for victims to increase visibility for unsolved cases.
Next up, we want to go through these cases and get the facts organized and make sure everything that can be done on the cases is done. To do that, we look at the task lists and see if there is data we can update.
One of the biggest things I’ve found is that old cases are not reported by law enforcement and there is no visibility. That is what we want to fix! I’d recommend checking our map and see if there are any cases near you that you could learn more about. Next up, start researching old news stories or press releases from law enforcement and try to find out what unsolved cases are in your community. Organizing a case and making it visible could be the simple catalyst that helps solve a case!
I look forward to seeing what you get started in your community to grow the map of unsolved cases!
