Do you like true crime? How about solving cold cases? Here's one way to help.

The Doe Project is a non-profit volunteer organization founded and run by Todd Matthews, one of the individuals who helped create NamUs, the national missing person's database. They have assisted in solving more than 100 cases nationwide, three of which were just this year. The website is completely open and free for anyone to use. If you fancy yourself an armchair detective, I absolutely recommend checking it out.

What I REALLY want to highlight is that the organization is asking for donations to keep the website updated and running.

The campaign has been running for a year, and as you can see, there have only been 56 donors. That's barely half of the amount of cases they've solved. This website and the work of its volunteers has without a doubt affected far more lives than that, and it should be allowed to continue to grow and thrive. If you want less funding to police, more support for missing persons and cold cases, and a more community-driven approach to crime solving and prevention, you need to be looking out for things like this.

You can use this QR code to donate directly to the cause, or click on this link to get to the page shown above.

Obviously if you can't afford to donate, then don't! Just reblog this post so that others can see it, and maybe the next person can donate enough for the both of you. I'll be donating as soon as I've finished making this post.

If you'd like to learn more about Todd Matthews and how he identified his first cold-case victim that launched his career as a missing persons' advocate, listen to episode four of What Remains, a podcast all about the science and procedure behind solving cold cases.

I need true crime friends. I love listening to true crime podcasts, watching documentaries, and reading books about it. I like supporting the charities and making sure victims’ voices are heard. I don’t have anyone in my life who is passionate about true crime, so if you are, be my friend! Or just reblog so I can find my people, I’m sure they’re here somewhere!

Despite having zero desire to ever kill anyone, I spend half of the time watching true crime shows thinking about how I’d do it better. I’m a total backseat murderer.

I love podcasts. Absolutely love them....

...

...

...

HOWEVER!

THere are some podcasts that should not be a thing. Not sorry for this opinion but a comedy podcast about true crime documentaries...

Seriously they take true crime docs and make jokes during them. It's supposed to be like mystery science theater 3000 but that prompt is for bad movies not people's lives.

I get it sometimes these true crime docs are ridiculous but they are still about true people and true crimes. If you start joking about some guy raping women and joking about someone breaking into a house and waiting. Make fun of the fuckers who do the crime.

Make fun of Ted for being a total cock faced disgusting piece of shit.

Make fun of Dennis Fucking Reader for his incompetent and desperate need to have a sinnature.

Do NOT make fun of the victims! This is fucking ridiculous that it needs to be said.

In all my life of listening to podcasts I never thought I'd come across such a fucking disgrace of humanity.

Now because I absolutely love listening to podcasts here's two good true crime podcasts I just recently began listening to and I think everyone should listen to because omg what freaking bamfs!

Morbid podcast: They are freaking angels! These tow wops do such victim justice and are such freaking amazing people. They are seriously top chart quality and it's so refreshing to listen to hear about the victims because it is so important to never forget them.

Crime Junkie Podcast: they are volunteers for crime stoppers are work on more recent crimes and a lot of unsolved crimes. If you want to hear about cases that you could possibly help with listen to them! They have great shows that give updates on where investigations are at.

Simon Whistler is also pretty good I've listened to him for a few years now and Casual Criminalist is pretty great. He has hilarious commentary about criminals and doesn't victim shame! He deals more with older crimes though but his episodes are a lot longer.

Spoiler Free Book review of

“All Good People Here” by Ashley Flowers

Good reads synopsis/summary: “In the propulsive debut novel from the host of the #1 true crime podcast "Crime Junkie," a journalist uncovers her hometown’s dark secrets when she becomes obsessed with the unsolved murder of her childhood neighbor—and the disappearance of another girl twenty years later.

Everyone from Wakarusa, Indiana, remembers the case of January Jacobs, who was found dead in a ditch hours after her family awoke to find her gone. Margot Davies was six at the time, the same age as January—and they were next-door neighbors. In the twenty years since, Margot has grown up, moved away, and become a big-city journalist, but she’s always been haunted by the fear that it could’ve been her. And the worst part is, January’s killer has never been brought to justice.

When Margot returns home to help care for her sick uncle, it feels like walking into a time capsule. Wakarusa is exactly how she remembered: genial, stifled, secretive. Then news breaks about five-year-old Natalie Clark from the next town over, who’s gone missing under eerily similar circumstances. With all the old feelings rushing back, Margot vows to find Natalie and solve January’s murder once and for all.

But the police, the family, the townspeople—they all seem to be hiding something. And the deeper Margot digs into Natalie’s disappearance, the more resistance she encounters, and the colder January’s case feels. Could the killer still be out there? Could it be the same person who kidnapped Natalie? And what will it cost to finally discover what truly happened that night?”

Format: audio book read by Brittney Presley (an amazing reader 10/10 for performance) with character actor Karissa Vacker and Epilogue by the author, Ashley Flowers

Spoiler free thoughts: The book, for the record, is one of fiction but it feels so real. Ashley knows the inner workings of real criminals and clearly has a knack for writing fake ones with her knowledge. This is the type of story where you think you know 100% where it is going only for everything you thought u knew to turn in its head (over and over again.) I personally found this book to be more mystery crime fiction than thriller but I definitely enjoyed it non the less.

The ending was fast passed and full of constant twists and turns that left me guessing constantly, so naturally I loved it. There were many points where I, finally, thought I had figured out the entire sequence of events only to have half of my assumptions turn out to be totally wrong. This is the type of mystery I recommend to all of my friends and this one will be no exception.

Warnings: There are a few warnings people may need to know going into this book (besides the obvious, ie. Murder) mainly child murder, child abuse, and sexual assault against a minor stand out the most. Although, just as in her podcasts, Ashley does a great job of asserting the seriousness of these topics while not lingering on the details that make us uncomfortable. The wording of these assaults and crimes are no more vivid then the wording would be in True crime podcasts.

I would also like to add in another warning; Dementia is discussed heavily through this book as one of the main characters suffer with it. Dementia runs in my family so this topic hit me especially hard. My own grandmother is suffering with the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease at the moment and is about the same age as the main character. While the character suffers far more than my grandmother does at the moment it is still a heartbreaking aspect of this book which I feel many reviews have not stressed the extent in which this aspect is mentioned.

Do I recommend this book? Despite knowing a few of the main twists ahead of time I still deeply enjoyed the smaller twists as a few audible gasps left my mouth while listening. I highly recommend this book to people who love true crime (or fictional crime stories.)

If you enjoyed this book and are looking for other recommendations: I, of course, have to recommend Crime junkie, Ashley flowers most popular podcast. I will also recommend another true crime show; The Casual Criminalist, which is both a podcast and a YouTube channel (I recommend the YouTube Channel over the podcast as the editor, Jen, likes to thrown in a few sight gags from now and then which helps lighten the mood.)
