Good afternoon,

Thank you for contacting the Cold Case Foundation. The CCF’s mission is to provide resources to victim's families and law enforcement agencies. We are sorry to hear about Mike's death. Would you be willing to share more information with me? To establish if we can help in any way, we request the following documentation. Upon receipt of most of the requested records and paperwork, we will reach out to you and determine the next steps in the process.

If you could please provide us with all the information you have access to, including but not limited to:

• Name, address, and location of the victim
• Case classification: Missing, Deceased, Homicide, Suicide, etc.
• Summary of investigation
• Investigating agency, department, or detective
• Police reports/photos
• Autopsy reports/photos
• Current case status

In addition, it would be helpful to have an overview of the case from the family's perspective, which may provide us with essential, vital information. No piece of information is too small. We would be happy to review it and then contact you regarding how our resources might be applied to your case at no cost to you or the law enforcement agency investigating the case.

We receive a large volume of requests daily. Please know that we treat every case inquiry with the same level of interest, dignity, and respect. It may take some time for us to reply to your email. You may utilize that time to send us most, if not all the documentation required. If you are unable to obtain the paperwork, please advise us of such and we will address it accordingly.

Thank you,

Cathie
