How about a list of famous Cold Cases, linking to the victim's page when there's no page for the case itself?

[edit] Wikified this article; good suggestion

I have Wikified this article; I believe the above suggestion is a good one. Can anyone assist in finding a list of famous "cold cases," or, would it be better to write a Wiki article called: "List of cold cases." Please sign your comments, everyone. User:ProfessorPaul 22:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am sorry; I will have to dispute this article

I think I need to find the stub about "disputed facts" in articles; the links do not say that the human remains of Judge Crater have been confirmed. User:ProfessorPaul 00:10, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Resolving this dispute

I would agree to remove the "dispute" tag if/when the proper authorities in New York confirm (via DNA testing) that the human remains of Judge Crater have been found. Until then--it may be "likely" or "probable" that his remains have been found, but just not yet confirmed. The Judge Crater article also notes that it has not yet been confirmed that his remains have been found. User:ProfessorPaul 00:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Number of solved cases vs. Unsolved cases?

Does anyone know the exact percentage of cases the police receive--and solve? I would love to see a stat like that.

[edit] Conspiracy theorists and JFK.

I am changing the phrase "Conspiracy theorists consider the John F. Kennedy assassination..." To "Some people consider (...)". Unless everyone included the many noted people (such as Oliver Stone the director) and ordinary folk both in the U.S. and elsewhere who do not ascribe to the "official" version of events are to be considered as conspiracy theorists (with all the negative connations that come along with that). Also of note here should be a direct quote from the J.F.K. assassination wikipedia page: "The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was assassinated by Oswald probably as a result of a conspiracy." So who are the conspiracy theorists if the official version is that the assassination was a result of a conspiracy as well? 84.254.50.179 23:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
