The Department of Justice’s Efforts to Investigate and Prosecute Unsolved Civil Rights Era Homicides

The Civil Rights Division launched this website to make information about the Justice Department’s investigation of unsolved homicides—or cold cases—from the civil rights era more accessible to the public. A list of case closing memoranda is available here.

If any member of the public discovers new information related to any closed case, or otherwise needs to contact the Civil Rights Division about any case, please call (202) 514-4609 or (TTY) (202) 514-0716 or file a complaint online here.
