Helping the Public Solve Unsolved Crimes & Find the Missing

The best evidence comes from people
who refuse to be silent.
IndependentDetective.com is a community-driven crime investigation platform dedicated to helping solve unsolved crimes, cold cases, and missing person cases through public involvement, shared research, and open discussion.
This website was created to bring communities togetherโbecause when people speak up, cases move forward.
๐น A Public Database for Unsolved Crimes & Missing Persons
IndependentDetective.com serves as an online crime information database, compiling and organizing information related to active and unresolved cases, including:
- Police-released facts and official statements
- Newspaper articles and media reports
- Public tips, witness accounts, and observations
- Community discussions and shared research
Our goal is to make information easier to access, easier to understand, and easier to shareโso no detail is overlooked.
๐น Our Mission
Our mission is to support investigations by empowering the public.
We aim to:
- Encourage public participation in active investigations and missing person cases
- Help people recognize that even small details can be critical
- Connect the public with law enforcement agencies, independent investigators, and advocacy groups
- Provide a space for responsible discussion around unresolved cases
Many cases are solved because someone remembers somethingโor finally decides to speak.
๐น Why Public Involvement Is Critical in Solving Cases
๐น The Public Solves More Cases Than Most People Realize
Although police and district attorneys lead investigations, the majority of solved cases rely on tips from the public to identify suspects, locations, or overlooked evidence.
๐น Small Details Often Break Big Cases
People often dismiss their own knowledge as irrelevant. In reality, minor observations frequently become major breakthroughs, especially in missing persons and cold cases.
๐น Investigators Are Human
Law enforcement professionals are highly trained, but they are still human. Limited resources, bias, or tunnel vision can occur. Thatโs why independent thinking and public input remain essential in the justice process.
