Welcome to the True Crime Database!
Our Project
To create the most comprehensive online True Crime 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 information on different types of criminal cases, 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.
Or view our full database of case files…
