## What is True Crime Codex?

Open the file. TrueCrimeCodex is the world's true crime intelligence platform: more than 1,000 deeply researched case files from 100 countries, 28,000+ true crime podcasts, and the tools to investigate them, in 7 languages.

This is an editorial archive of real cases: what happened, who was lost, and how justice answered. Victims are people, not props. No gore, no sensationalism, no glorification of the people who caused the harm. Just the facts, and their sources.

THE ARCHIVE
▸ Case files with sourced timelines, places, and the full record
▸ Victim profiles that remember the lives behind the headlines
▸ Perpetrator profiles built on facts, never on glorification
▸ Connected cases, criminal organizations, and forensic breakthroughs
▸ A worldwide crime map, the Unsolved Wall, and On This Day

AI CASE ANALYST
Ask anything about any case. The AI Case Analyst reads the whole file and answers in seconds, with its sources from the archive.

TRUE CRIME PODCASTS
▸ 28,000+ shows, with what's trending in your language first
▸ Keeps playing in the background and from your lock screen while you read the case it covers
▸ Follow your shows; your listening progress syncs to your account
▸ Star ratings and reviews from other listeners

TRUE CRIME TV & STREAMING
▸ Nearly 2,000 documentaries and series, linked to the real cases they cover

JUSTICE TRACKER
Scheduled trials, parole hearings, appeals, and execution dates in the cases we cover, each one sourced to an official schedule or confirmed reporting. Follow a case to be reminded before its dates. Everyone accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

MISSING CHILDREN & AMBER ALERTS

▸ Opt in to alerts for the states you choose, free with any account
▸ Missing children posters, searchable by state, age, and date

INVESTIGATE TOGETHER
