Cold Case Coalition - a resource for families & LE

About Cold Case Coalition

The Cold Case Coalition has a long history of advocating for victims, collaborating with law enforcement, and pioneering innovative solutions to cases once considered unsolvable. Through initiatives like Utah’s “Rosie’s Law,” the launch of the nation’s first nonprofit forensic DNA lab accredited in whole genome sequencing, and ongoing support from hundreds of volunteers, the Coalition continues to reopen cases, secure convictions, and fund advanced forensic testing to bring long-overdue answers to families.

Volunteer with CCC

Hundreds of volunteers do this work: working groups on individual cases, one-time local tasks, and subject matter experts.
