Building something bigger than a case community.
Help Solve The Case is an educational community for people who think like investigators. Our long-term goal is to build sustainable funding to support pro bono investigative work and forensic genetic genealogy aimed at identifying unidentified human remains across the United States — and helping bring answers to families who have waited far too long.
This is our mission and direction. It does not imply that subscription revenue is currently being donated or that investigations are already funded through this initiative.
