Unsolved Cold Cases Are Devastating To
Surviving Family Members
According to the FBI uniform crime data, there are more than 250,000 Unsolved Homicides in the US with an additional 6000 new murder cases added per year.
The longer a homicide case goes unsolved, the greater the impact on homicide victims’ families.

Homicide Victims’ Families beg for help and feel as if they are alone!

More than 1 in 5 immediate family members of homicide victims will develop Homicide-related PTSD

The clearance rate for homicides have steadily declined and families want rights to do more
