Project Cold Case projectcoldcase.org posted this reminder:

Today, we pause to reflect on the countless lives stolen by violence. Each name represents a son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle, cousin, niece, nephew, or friend whose presence is deeply missed and whose story deserves to be remembered.
We stand with all homicide survivors, those who carry the weight of grief, unanswered questions, and the struggle for justice and healing. Their resilience reminds us of the power of community, compassion, and hope.
This day is not only about remembrance, but also about action. We recommit ourselves to seeking justice for unsolved cases, raising awareness, and supporting families so no one must walk this journey alone.
️ Light a candle.
️ Say their names.
️ Share their stories.

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week 2025

Posted on by

I know that I have not posted in a very long time – I apologize for that. I have had a lot going on that I will write about at a later date. In the meantime, I just wanted to let everyone know that as of today, the start of National Crime Victim’s Rights Week has started.

It is extremely important that we all understand the rights of crime victims, especially in the world we currently live in. 

Recognizing that shared humanity should be at the center of supporting all survivors and victims of crime, because it drives vital connections to services, rights, and healing.

This year’s National Crime Victims’ Rights Week theme is “Connecting <KINSHIP> Healing.” KINSHIP is the
foundation of victim advocacy—it’s what fuels the work of advocates and helps them form meaningful connections
that promote healing and understanding. If you have been a victim of crime, whether it has been stalking, sexual assault, or any type of violence, please know there are people that can help. Do not suffer in silence.

Document, document, document…everything!

Always document every single incident, your feelings about that incident; were you frightened, stressed, couldn’t sleep, felt like your stalker was going to get to you (no matter how hyper vigilant you were being)?

It is so very important to have a timeline with the date, time, what you did about it, what happened and how you felt about what you had just experienced. Documenting every incident, keeping that log in a secure place, will help law enforcement build a case against your stalker.

Stay safe!
