Unsolved Lists by Area

Below is a compilation of newspaper articles chronicling unsolved murders in certain areas and counties. These are especially useful, as many of the crimes I am interested in and/or plan to write about on this blog have not received official updates for quite some time, and/or the current status of them is uncertain. Within each source I have clarified which, if any, crimes have since been solved.

This page lists each source by region of interest; when there are multiple sources for a single region, those are then listed by publication dateArticles that comprehensively cover multiple counties are listed under each relevant area. 

This page is currently under construction. It will also be updated regularly whenever I find more information.
