*Online Resources Added to Bring Awareness to Cold Cases*





*For Immediate Release:*




*September 9, 2026*






*LANSING, MICH.* Searching unsolved crimes and sharing information directly with Michigan State Police (MSP) investigators is now easier with dedicated webpages highlighting cold cases [ [link removed] ].

“Adding online resources was a logical next step to continue the success we have seen from our specialized Cold Case units and investigative college programs across Michigan [ [link removed] ],” said Col. James F. Grady II, director of the MSP. “Though it may take longer than we would like to get answers for living loved ones, we never stop trying. We encourage the public to view the information and connect with us.”

September is National Cold Case Month which brings attention to unresolved homicides, missing and unidentified persons cases and other serial offenses. Statewide, the MSP has roughly 200 of these open incidents at any given time with 11 currently posted on Michigan.gov/ColdCases [ [link removed] ]. Each entry is sorted by region and includes a summary of what is believed to have occurred. Additional cases will be added in the future.

“Our detectives picked investigations to spotlight with family approval,” said Kelly Hodges, a Criminal Intelligence Analyst assigned to the Cold Case Unit. “We are actively soliciting tips in hopes closing cases, but we think it is equally important to show that we have not forgotten the victims.”

If you have information regarding an unsolved cold case in Michigan, you can submit details directly to the MSP using a form on the webpage [ [link removed] ] or by emailing [email protected].
