Submit a Case

Know about a case we should research? Send a cold case, a mystery or a solved story worth sharing. Chenzo reads every one and only publishes what public records back up.

This is not a police tip line. If you know something about a crime, contact the investigating agency directly. Every case page on this site lists its tip line. In an emergency, call 911.
