On The Map

It’s time to bring cold and missing person cases to light in a new way.

Using the analytical and technical expertise of the Cold Case Live team, we are now able to put over 13,000 unidentified persons and over 21,000 current missing person cases on a new GIS map facility – allowing you to explore current cases across America and potentially pass vital information to the investigating agencies.

We will be adding more data points over the coming weeks and creating a missing person alerts system to feed bulletins direct to the public through the Cold Case Live site.

This is the first phase in an exciting Cold Case Live project to develop a new kind of law enforcement database designed to help solve cases faster and maximise the most powerful resource any detective has access to: the public.

If you are not already a member, join Cold Case Live today to directly support the ongoing casework of the Cold Case Foundation and to help us develop this vital resource in the fight against serious crime.

Finding Patterns in Data

Using only PAEI, it is possible to quickly identify unusual case clusters which directly connect to real-world events and timelines. Finding patterns in data can significantly accelerate research and investigation. When applied to internal police data, the case details which are not made public, cluster analysis can be the difference between life and death.

In The Blood

In The Blood: DNA testing truly is a complex and, for many, controversial topic area, set against a backdrop of global differences in approach to fundamental rights and freedoms which can make discussions like this too hot to touch. Nonetheless, there are still these much bigger discussions to be had around the way we use the power of DNA to prevent harm in society and that’s the real challenge here – getting to a point where the basic premise of the discussion is understood in its simplest form: a problem to solve. For me the conversation starts with that poor girl in the field. She deserves to be known. She deserves peace. In a world where her DNA was attributable to her, nearly forty years wouldn’t have passed. But sometimes solving one problem can create many more conflicts and it is important to appreciate that fully. This is the thing about investigative work. Sometimes, there’s just no easy answer. But we still have to talk about even the things we might not want to, calmly and rationally, because an unexplored avenue might be the one where the right answer lies.
