About
About Case on the Case
True crime stories, cold case breakthroughs, forgotten victims, and the clues that changed everything.
Case on the Case began as a place to share short true crime stories, cold cases, solved mysteries, famous cases, missing persons, forensic breakthroughs, and the work of citizen sleuths. This site turns those stories into something you can read, browse, and follow: a true crime publication built to be investigative, cinematic, and respectful.
How we report
We revisit cases with curiosity and care. Every story is built from the public record and contemporaneous reporting, and every claim of fact is traceable to a source. We prioritize primary sources, court filings, police reports, official records, and verified journalism, and each case ends with a Sources & Further Reading list.
Our standards
- Accuracy first. Where a case is unresolved or a person hasn't been convicted, we say so plainly and label case status.
- Respect for victims. We avoid gore, exploitation, and shock imagery. These were real people, and we write like it.
- No speculation as fact. Theories are labeled as theories. Presumption of innocence is the rule.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and note the change. To report an error or share information about a case, email editor@caseonthecase.com, or submit a case for future coverage.
