Highway Homicide Project

[DS2021]

As many of you may know, the fbi has a private database that, in part, keeps track of unsolved homicides that occured on or near a highway,.

I thought it may be beneficial for us to come together and try to replicate that in a public setting.

I was unsure where to post this, but i think cold cases would be the best forum.

What I wouldn't give to be able to tap into this resource! At some point I'd like to trace the County Roads, Hwys, and Interstates leading away from the I-45 Corrdor to other cities and counties - not just in Texas, but all over the US. FBI makes a connection between long-haul truckers, serial...

Enter ViCAP, part of our National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime and a national repository for violent crimes. The database—which contains information on homicides, sexual assaults, missing persons, and unidentified human remains—is available to law enforcement throughout the country over a secure Internet link on our Law Enforcement Online (LEO).

ViCAP analysts have created a national matrix of more than 500 murder victims from along or near highways, as well as a list of some 200 potential suspects. Names of suspects—contributed by law enforcement agencies—are examined by analysts who develop timelines using a variety of reliable sources of information.

I think this is a great idea. How would we create this type of data base on a public forum?

It may be difficult to do in a public forum, as the FBI has linkage on those cases, here (speaking from experience) it would be strongly opinion influenced.

Good idea but I feel it would be all over the place with speculation .

I hear you & agree something on a public forum would be strongly based on speculation & opinion.

Perhaps a database of info that could be verified and sourced in the OP, like unidentified remains via NaMus/media articles/etc? Although cause of death might be unknown (unless stated in the source), it might still highlight geographical patterns where remains are found?

This is a good idea as I know the person who murdered my son is out of prison and driving a truck cross country and I believe he is a serial killer. Perfect playing field for him. JMO
