The Armchair Detective
HELP US BUILD A NETWORK OF 3,000+ CITIZEN SLEUTHS ACROSS AUSTRALIA
There are thousands of missing-person cases, unresolved deaths and cold cases across Australia.
Some are well known. Others have faded from public attention. Many still contain unanswered questions buried in old newspaper reports, maps, court records, archives and public information.
That is why we are building The Armchair Detective™ Australian Case Map — a growing national research resource designed to help ordinary people discover, examine and responsibly research unresolved cases.
You do not need to be an investigator.
You might be good at searching old newspapers, checking dates, comparing timelines, studying maps, tracing sources, spotting contradictions or simply asking a question that has not been asked before.
The idea is simple:
Find a case. Open it. Research it. Share what you discover.

Then use The Armchair Detective™ to help organise the public record, build timelines, compare reports, test theories and identify unanswered questions:

We want to build a network of 3,000+ citizen sleuths across Australia — people willing to give one unresolved case another careful look.
Imagine what could happen if 3,000 people each found just one useful source, one forgotten article, one corrected date, one map, one contradiction or one unanswered question.
🔎 Find a case near you
🕰️ Check the timeline
📰 Search the archives
🗺️ Study the locations
📁 Trace claims back to their original source
❓ Identify what is still unknown
💬 Share useful, properly sourced findings with the community
You can also help grow the map by suggesting cases that should be added.
Important: Use lawful public information only. Do not accuse, contact or harass private individuals. AI can make mistakes, so important findings should always be checked against reliable original sources.
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, follow The Armchair Detective™ page, explore the map and share this post with someone who loves research, history, mysteries or helping others.
3,000+ citizen sleuths. Thousands of unresolved cases. One growing Australian research community.
Follow the evidence. Challenge the theory. Respect the people.
