The files run from 1951 to 2023. The 2000s hold the most, with 15 files. The oldest is Assassination of Abdullah I of Jordan, from 1951.
By type, the largest groups are murder and homicide cases (18), mass shooting cases (3) and kidnapping and abduction cases (1).
None of these files has creator coverage attached yet; each one can still be heard as a narrated case file.
Every file is written from cited sources and pinned where it happened, and every person named carries the legal status the record gives them. If you hold information about an unsolved case, contact the investigating agency named in its file rather than posting it publicly. Families and anyone involved can request a correction from any file.
This page updates from the published files, so counts and statuses change the day a record does. Open any file for its timeline, its sources and the coverage worth your time, or play it as a narrated case file.
