Police Take Unsolved Murders To Internet

Bonus story: The night I met Tent Girl

5 Comments

Tent Girl Murder

Who she is was solved but not her murder. Her husband I'm sure was involved, but I will never believe that there are not others out there that know the truth, infact there were other names given as suspects, but nothing happened and now 10 years have passed. There is a book coming out soon written by the Tent Girl's daughters. They belive her spirit finaly at peace.

in active cases, cops

in active cases, cops encounter a lot of false confessions and wrong information (some by pranksters, some by well-meaning people).

well these are cold cases, so it wouldn't hurt imo. when it comes to cold cases, any lead is better than no lead. besides, there are a lot of intuitive and insightful people who may be able to help even when they are not directly related to the case.

Can it be the solutuon?

I mean by taking the case to the internet it risks massive media exposure to the victim's family and keeps the Murderer on his toes as well.This will cause excessive unneeded exposure to the victim's families and worst still it will lead them to new dangers perhaps as they become instant internet celebrities known worldwide..

How is it any different from

How is it any different from tv media? I think this is a good idea, the internet will give these cases more exposure which could give these cases a break.

The Good and Bad of the Internet

I think this is an awesome idea as far as another way to reach out to the public. I don't watch news on television so my only real information source comes from the internet. I'm sure there are a number of people out there who do the same and so connecting with the community via the internet to aid in solving cases like this is a great idea. The downside of course is that the internet is also full of a lot of pranksters. The ability to make up stories and falsify information is A LOT easier and A LOT more convenient online than it is when you consider calling up a tip line or something in that nature. So the problem with this being more widely accepted will be following made up leads, but I'm sure this is already something they have to deal with.
