About – The Morbid Library

The Library

The Morbid Library was established in January 2020 as a personal project of the author (and has been running on-and-off based on how chaotic the author’s life has been since then.

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.

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.

The Author

CJ Lynch is a librarian and writer from somewhere in the palm of Michigan.

She has been interested in true crime from a young age, but her passion for cold cases was sparked with her discovery of the Zodiac murders, thanks to the Zodiac film in 2007.

Since then, she has done extensive research into cases of all kinds – from unidentified decedents, to missing persons, to unsolved murders – spending thousands of hours reading books and articles, watching documentaries, and listening to podcasts.

In her spare time, when not on reddit reading about cases and comparisons, she’s probably reading or playing a cozy farming simulator.
