Staging concept. Fictional demo content. Not affiliated with any real case.

Intake

Submit a case.

Two doors in. Families submit their own case directly. Anyone else can nominate a case, and the family is contacted before anything is published. Either way, everything starts from the public record.

Before you write

Three rules of the intake.

iPublic records only

We work from press releases, news coverage, and public documents. Do not send private records, rumors, or tips.

iiNo anonymous requests

We need a way to reach you. Your contact details are never published.

iiiNever name a suspect

Information about a person of interest goes privately to the family and law enforcement, never into a public file.

The form

Tell us about the case.

Reviewed by a person. Nothing publishes automatically.

Email or phone: at least one, so we can reach you. Neither is ever published.

At least one link to public coverage is required. This is what the file is built from.

What happens next

Submitted, verified, reviewed.

01Submitted

Your intake is checked for completeness: contact details, the basics, and at least one link to public coverage.

02Verifying

A person confirms the case is real and the coverage is public. Citizen nominations include a family notification step.

03Review

A human signs off before anything opens. Nothing publishes automatically.
