TheColdCases.com Needs Your Help to Keep Going

I’ll be honest with you — writing this isn’t easy.

I don’t like asking for money. I never have. But I believe in what we’re building here at TheColdCases.com, and I owe it to every family we’ve spoken with, every expert who’s taken our call, and every one of you — our 550 subscribers — to be transparent about where we stand.

What We’ve Built Since February 2025

In just over a year, we’ve grown to 15,000 visitors a month. We’ve built a website optimized for search, published stories that matter, and brought on dedicated staff who care about this mission as deeply as I do. We’ve gone out into the field — sitting across from grieving families, talking to investigators and experts, doing the work that most people only read about.

I’ve personally invested $5,000 of my own money into this project — into infrastructure, SEO, research tools, and the relentless effort to make sure cold cases don’t stay cold forever. This is not a side hobby. This is a mission.

The Reality: Hope and Prayers Aren’t Enough

Every great organization reaches this moment. The point where passion alone can’t pay the bills. We’re not a charity — we’re a team that shows up, does the reporting, and builds something real. But I can’t keep doing this alone, and I can’t ask the people who’ve joined this effort to keep working on goodwill alone either.

The truth is simple: if this work is going to continue, it needs to be supported. Not because we’re giving up — but because we refuse to.

Here’s How You Can Help

If you’ve read our stories, if you believe in what we’re doing, if a case we’ve covered has meant something to you — please consider supporting us. It doesn’t have to be much. A dollar. Five dollars. Whatever is on your heart. Every contribution goes directly toward keeping this operation running and, eventually, paying the staff who pour themselves into this work.

You have two ways to support us:

1. Upgrade to a paid subscription — If you’re currently a free subscriber, consider going paid. Your ongoing support is the foundation we need to plan for the future.

2. Make a one-time donation — Head over to buymeacoffee.com/thecoldcases and give whatever feels right. No pressure, no guilt. Just gratitude.

I started TheColdCases.com because I believe these stories deserve to be told. I believe families deserve to be heard. And I believe justice — even delayed — is still worth fighting for.

I can’t do this without you. I’m not asking for charity — I’m asking you to invest in something that matters.

Thank you for reading. Thank you for being here.

With gratitude,
