Minnesota Database

I have come across many cases over the past couple of years and have kept a list to keep track of every female victim I have found across Minnesota.

It’s my belief that we need a database of every homicide/disappearance to start connecting them and solve them. I want to share my list with the public incase it can help aid anyone in their own case or research.

It’s mostly homicides as The Charley Project has a very comprehensive missing persons database for Minnesota along with every other state.

If you know someone on this list and don’t wish for them to be included or the case has since been solved – please email me at arentyouthegirlpod@gmail.com

I will be adding more cases as I continue my research.
