I am a true crime writer raising awareness for old unsolved 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 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 historical mysteries.

My database has more than 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 any 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, contact me.

Thank you, Alice de Sturler
