Delaware Crime Stoppers Effort to Solve Cold Cases

Delaware Crime Stoppers Webpage

DOVER, Del. (AP) - Delaware Crime Stoppers has teamed up with law enforcement departments across the state to try to solve cold cases.

Local news outlets report that the crime-fighting organization launched a feature on its website on Monday that shines a spotlight on unsolved murders. The webpage gives visitors information about cold cases with the hopes of finding those responsible for the crimes. 

Delaware Crime Stoppers began the initiative two months ago when it reached out to various law enforcement departments in order to get information about cold cases.

The organization offers a reward of up to $1,000 for tips leading to an arrest in any of the cold cases.
