Helen God Murder Line actively investigates cold case murders.

In an effort to raise public awareness, invite witnesses to come forward, and present evidence

that could potentially be further investigated by law enforcement.

While we value insights from family and community members, their statements should not be

considered evidence and point to the challenges of verifying facts inherent in cold cases.

Nothing in the podcast is intended to state or imply that anyone who has not been convicted of a crime is guilty of any wrongdoing.

Thanks for listening.
