As an extension of the Iowa Cold Cases website, the blog provides news and updates on unsolved Iowa homicides and missing persons cases where foul play is suspected.

Our mission is to educate the public about these open cases, share and exchange resources in efforts to publicize these unsolved crimes, and ensure every victim’s story is told and kept alive until those responsible are held accountable.

Writer Jody Ewing founded the Iowa Cold Cases website in 2005 after working on a cold case series for the Sioux City Weekender. All work on the website and blog is done on a volunteer basis and both sites remain ad-free.

Our team has recently expanded to include Dr. Nancy Bowers, Rebecca Russell, Eileen Meier and Billi Jo Gronen.
