inA warning about amateur sleuths in my town digging into cold cases
Totally agree about not blasting names online, that always goes south. I saw a missing person case where amateurs online doxxed the suspect's cousin and flooded them with calls. It totally spooked the family and they stopped cooperating with the real detectives. The investigation stalled for months because of all the noise and messed up leads. Honestly, it feels like people forget there are real humans behind these screens.
