I retired this blog ten years ago. I left it up because some of the information and advice in the links and posts is still useful. I’ve now turned off comments because I’m getting too much spam. If you need to reach me with questions about an unsolved case, please email me at horn@echonyc.com.

Attention: After more than ten years, I’ve decided to retire this blog. I will no longer be adding posts, except on special occasions. I’m leaving it up because the information and advice in the links and posts are still useful. The most useful links are over on the left, under: GETTING HELP – CONTACTING A COLD CASE SQUAD.

I have turned off comments. If you need to read me please email at horn@echonyc.com.

As of January 16, 2007 there were 9,082 unsolved murders in New York since 1985. Using the most optimistic clearance rates for the murders that occurred between 2007 and 2015 (33% left unsolved) the current number of unsolved murders since 1985 would be around 10,393.
