Our True Crime Project
To create the most comprehensive online True Crime case library...
We have always had a passion for all things True Crime, with a curious and avid interest in cases of unsolved crime, serial murder and war crimes. The purpose of this project is to compile the most comprehensive library of case files on well-known crimes such as the Essex Boys murders, Hinterkaifeck Murders and the Black Dahlia murder to infamous serial killers.
We aim to research and present different types of crimes, from the historic to more contemporary crimes. We have a helpful “Category System” designed to make it easier to search for a specific type of offence from Arson to War Crimes, and “Related Case Files” within each article for those who wish to read more about associated crimes.
Here you can search for murderers, witnesses, weapons and crimes to satisfy your true crime needs.
