As a true crime writer, I raise awareness for old cases from the pre-DNA era that need renewed media attention. I do not actively investigate cases. I leave that to professionals. My posts are about old unsolved homicides, missing and unidentified people, wrongful convictions, and forensics as related to these old cases. I also review books but only true crime, crime fiction, historical fiction and mysteries. My database has over 275 cases listed by the victim’s last name. All case suggestions for writing are added to my to-do list in the order in which they were received. If you have questions about my website please check the FAQ page, the about page, and the the tabs in the menu bar first. If you cannot find the answer there, please contact me. Thank you, Alice.
