Case Search Page Updates

We have updated the Case Search page to make the Criminal Case Database easier to browse, search, and use.

Visitors can now choose between a dedicated Keyword Search for names, case titles, or related terms, and a separate Filter Search for browsing by country, state, case type, decade, year, or month.

These changes are intended to make searching clearer and reduce confusing results, especially when using location or date filters.

We have also added a Recent Additions to the Archive section so visitors can see the latest case files that have been researched and documented.

While we continue to update the archive, we recognize that every case represents a real person, a real family, and a tragedy that should never have occurred. In an ideal world, there would be no new names to add.

Our goal is to preserve these stories, support research, and help ensure these cases are never forgotten.

We are still working to update all our pages so you may still some changes with the font and colors. We are trying to find a balance that works throughout the entire site that is user friendly and easy to read. Please be patient if you notice some of our pages still in the old style as we have to individually update each case with the new style to make sure we don’t lose any information.
