Here’s how it works, Uncovered.com is a digital cold case database. Each visualized missing, murdered or suspicious death cold case includes a case summary, pictures, an interactive map and timeline, links to source information, calls to action and more. In addition to the database, Uncovered is building a true crime community focused on turning interest into advocacy. I joined Uncovered a little over a year ago and have been impressed with their training opportunities and their commitment to thoughtful citizen detective work.
