About – The Morbid Library

The Library

The Morbid Library was established in January 2020 as a personal project of the author.
Its mission statement is twofold – first, to cover cold cases that have received little to no widespread digital coverage; and second, to tell these stories in a digitized and SEO-optimized manner, which will allow them to be searchable and more easily findable.

Basically, in most cases, we want to shine a light on cases that don’t have a dedicated podcast or a longform article about them. There are far too many cold cases buried in dusty newspaper archives that are barely – if at all – searchable.

We want to help tell their stories and make sure their memories stay alive online.
Just in case that one person with the right information is reading.
