About

Almost Solved

Read full description

One episode can raise more questions than it answers. Almost Solved helps you continue the research without losing the case, source, or question that brought you there. START WITH A CASE Choose a missing-person file, serial-killer profile, location, or case that caught your attention. Search podcast coverage and outside sources by case, person, or place. CHECK THE ORIGINAL SOURCE Open podcast episodes in Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Open websites, reporting, public records, and confirmed sources in Safari. Almost Solved keeps the outside material outside the app. SAVE WHAT MATTERS Keep the source link, search context, timestamp when available, and your own note in one private Research File. Use the timeline and map context to organize what happened and what you want to check next. FIND IT AGAIN Return to saved research instead of rebuilding the same search. Your notes stay distinct from outside material. START FREE Choose any three complete Research Files and keep them. Each includes saved links, notes, timeline work, map context, and case-specific source tools. UNLOCK MORE WHEN YOU NEED IT Unlimited Full Access is a one-time purchase with no automatic renewal. It opens the complete catalog, broader podcast and source search, cross-file Find It Again, ongoing Research Files, and supported research tools. Five additional Research Files are available as a separate one-time purchase. Almost Solved organizes your questions and source checks. It does not decide what is true, determine guilt, or replace law enforcement. It does not host third-party article bodies, transcripts, social posts, video, or podcast audio.
