Where to Discuss Unsolved Cases Online

The most useful places to discuss unsolved cases are moderated communities that stick to facts and sources: case-by-case forums like those on Crime Solvers Central and Websleuths, and Reddit communities such as r/UnresolvedMysteries. Wherever you post, share sources, never accuse named people, and send real leads to the investigating agency.

Places to discuss unsolved cases

  • Crime Solvers Central forums: a discussion thread on every missing person, unsolved homicide, unidentified and unclaimed case, next to the case details and sources. Browse the forums.
  • Websleuths: a long-running forum for missing persons and crime discussion, with rules on sourcing and on naming people.
  • Reddit: r/UnresolvedMysteries for in-depth case write-ups and discussion, and r/RBI for help identifying things and people.
  • Facebook groups: many cases have groups run by families or local volunteers. They are often the best place for local details.
  • Podcast and YouTube communities: many true crime shows run discussion groups or Discord servers for the cases they cover.

What makes a good community

  • Active moderators and written rules.
  • Sources required: links to news, court records or official statements, not rumors.
  • No naming of private people as suspects.
  • Respect for families, who may be reading.

Ground rules for posting

  • Cite your source for every fact, and say clearly when something is your opinion or theory.
  • Don't accuse named people who haven't been named by police or charged. It can ruin lives and lead to defamation claims.
  • Don't contact families, witnesses or suspects on your own.
  • Don't post graphic photos or private information like home addresses.
  • Send real leads to police, not just the forum. Every case page lists the investigating agency.

Getting more out of case discussions

  • Read the whole thread first; questions are often already answered.
  • Help build timelines and collect sources; see how to research a cold case online.
  • Share the case outside the forum to reach people who may actually know something.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I discuss unsolved cases online?

Moderated case forums like the Crime Solvers Central forums and Websleuths, Reddit communities such as r/UnresolvedMysteries, family-run Facebook groups, and the communities around true crime podcasts.

Is it okay to name a suspect in an online discussion?

Don't name private people as suspects unless police have named them or they have been charged. Accusations can harm innocent people and lead to defamation claims.

What should I do if I think I know something about a case?

Contact the investigating agency listed on the case, or Crime Stoppers if you want to stay anonymous. Posting it online alone may not reach investigators.

Does every case on Crime Solvers Central have a discussion thread?

Yes. Each missing person, unsolved homicide, unidentified and unclaimed case has its own forum thread.
