True Crime Atlas is an archival and documentary project. This page explains how cases are sourced, how uncertain claims are labeled, and how corrections are handled.
Case files are built from publicly available reporting, court records, published books, documentaries, and other reference material listed in each case file. Where possible, primary or contemporaneous sources are preferred over later summaries.
Unresolved cases often contain disputed timelines, theories, suspect claims, or evidentiary interpretations. On this site, those items are intended to be labeled as theories, allegations, disputed claims, or historical leads rather than established fact.
Some summaries, descriptions, and structural text may be generated or assisted by AI systems. AI-generated text is intended to support organization and readability, not replace source review. It may still contain errors or omissions.
If you spot a factual error, broken source, or misleading label, send a correction request through the contact page. Substantive corrections should be reviewed against cited sources before being published.
