Welcome

Welcome to the Iowa Cold Cases (ICC) website.

The site includes victim case summaries for unsolved homicides and missing persons cases where foul play is suspected.

A Weekender series on Sioux City’s unsolved murders and missing persons cases served as the genesis for the Iowa Cold Cases (ICC) website. The first in the series ran in May 2004, and the ICC website launched in December 2005.

The cases here are cross-referenced by the individual’s name, the city or county where he/she was found deceased or last seen alive, and a chronological listing of crimes by year and decade. ICC also lists a number of cold cases that have been solved in recent years.

Our goal is to create public awareness about unsolved homicides and missing persons, to keep the victims’ cases and stories alive so they are not forgotten, and share with readers any recent news media articles with current updates on cases and recent interviews with the victims’ family members and friends.

Launched in 2005, ICC incorporated as an Iowa nonprofit organization in April 2010. Though we are not affiliated with any law enforcement agency, we often serve as a liaison between them and those who provide ICC with tips, leads, or other pertinent information on specific cases.

All official investigations are conducted solely by law enforcement agencies that may include a combination of local, state, and/or federal authorities.

Somebody knows something in every cold case. If you believe you have information that might help solve a case, we strongly encourage you to contact the investigating agency/agencies listed on each victim’s case summary page.

Thank you for taking time to visit our site.
