Who runs this

CrimeAtlas is a personal project. I'm Sašo Špacapan, and I research, write, and pin every case on the site myself. There is no company, newsroom, or government body behind it. Just one person adding cases by hand.

How I research and source cases

Every case is built from publicly available sources, and those sources are cited on the case page so you can check them yourself. I keep the tone factual and respectful, and I update entries when the facts change. The full detail on sourcing standards, corrections, and how I handle sensitive content is on the editorial standards page.

Follow CrimeAtlas

CrimeAtlas is on X as @CrimeAtlasEarth. That's where new cases and picks from the on-this-day archive get posted.

Support the project

CrimeAtlas is free, and it's one person researching and mapping every case by hand. If the site is useful to you, you can support the work with a small tip. It helps cover hosting and the time that goes into each new case. There's no paywall, and there never will be.

Contact & corrections

Questions, feedback, or a correction? Email info@crimeatlas.earth. I read everything, and when a reader points out a mistake, I fix the entry and note the update.
