First, I want to remind everyone why we started this mission.

Eighteen years ago, my mother disappeared, and her case went cold. CrimeOwl was built to help solve her case and prevent countless others from suffering the same fate.

I truly believe CrimeOwl can be a massive force for change. The data on unsolved cases is staggering:

• 600,000 people go missing every year.

• There are over 300,000 unsolved murders.

• The national murder clearance rate has dropped to just 56%.

• Only 7% of police stations have a dedicated cold case unit.

Beyond the numbers, there’s the reality of a noble profession. People get into law enforcement to protect and serve, to fight the bad guys. Instead, many find themselves fighting paperwork and case files, a process that invites human error and slows down justice.

CrimeOwl was built to eliminate that grunt work.

In a few clicks, you can upload all types of case files and instantly surface key leads and insights.

Our mission isn’t to replace people; it’s to fix the problems with modern investigations so you can focus on what matters most: solving crime.

Since our launch, we’ve met incredible people and uncovered new use cases. While we take security at CrimeOwl seriously and can’t share specifics, I can tell you we’re in active pilot programs with a top law enforcement agency and a leading private investigator association.

We also have paying customers and several private investigators giving us invaluable feedback.

One of our PIs is even using CrimeOwl on a murder case from the seventies that has been cold for decades. This is precisely the kind of use case we designed CrimeOwl for. We believe our platform is uniquely equipped to tackle the nation’s 300,000 unsolved murder cases.

The biggest challenge, and one I know firsthand from my mother’s case, is that investigators are often overworked and under-resourced. The manual process itself can make an investigation passive, even from the very beginning.

If you’re new to CrimeOwl, here’s how our AI can help you solve crimes faster:

• AI-Powered Document Analysis: Automatically scans and analyzes files, photos, and reports to surface hidden leads, contradictions, and behavioral patterns.

• Vision AI for Visual Evidence: Uses advanced AI to understand visual documents like crime scene photos and handwritten notes.

• Relationship Graph: Instantly reveals connections between people, places, and evidence that even seasoned investigators might miss.

• Dynamic Case Mapping: Visualizes every location mentioned in the evidence, automatically pulled from documents.

• Secure & Private Workspace: All data is stored in a protected environment with strict access controls.

Our big vision is to change how investigations are handled so that those who want to fight bad guys can focus on solving crime instead of managing files.

Join the Mission

Over the past month, our top priority has been onboarding as many new investigators as possible. We’ve also been approached by several investors who see the potential to help us scale our vision.

We believe that in ten years, we’ll look back and be shocked by how investigations are handled today. It’s not anyone’s fault—it’s just “the way it is.”

That’s the mindset I’m determined to change.
