Since 1995, the national average of solved homicides in the U.S. has been around 64%, leaving 36% of murders unsolved each year. This backlog of Cold Cases places a financial burden on police departments and investigators, who often lack the necessary resources to continue their efforts. Cold Cases are not forgotten; they fade due to limited funding and attention.

That’s where Break the Case, a dedicated non-profit organization, steps in. We are committed to supporting law enforcement agencies in solving Cold Cases, providing additional resources, funding, and advocacy to help bring justice to victims and their families. Our mission is to ensure that no Cold Case is left unresolved due to a lack of support.
