Today, let's dive into the story of Dr. Kimberlie Massnick, our visionary Founder and Director!

Dr. Kimberlie Massnick is a trailblazer in the cold case industry, armed with a Ph.D. in Criminology and a BA in Forensic Psychology. As the Founder and Director of the Institute for Cold Case Investigation, she brings a profound understanding and relentless passion to the forefront, consistently creating new opportunities in the cold case industry.

Outside of ICCI, Dr. Massnick finds serenity in the tranquility of her Zen garden. This sanctuary is not just a place of peace for her but a place of inspiration. Family is her cornerstone, and the moments shared with her son and grandchildren are among her most cherished treasures. Her three fur babies add a layer of warmth and joy to her life, making each day brighter and more enjoyable.

As the organization's founder and director, Kimberlie’s goal is to spotlight the harsh reality that tragedy can strike anywhere. “I aim to empower everyone to play a role in seeking justice. My passion lies in promoting awareness and mobilizing collective action towards building a more just society."

"For me, the founding of ICCI is more than just a dream come true; it's an opportunity to collaborate with like-minded individuals to make a meaningful difference in the world.

We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham, who was found under heartbreaking circumstances last evening, February 20, 2024. Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons reported that Audrii was discovered near the Trinity River in Livingston, Texas.

Rooted in advocacy for victims, we stand together in solidarity with Audrii's family, friends, teachers, and the entire community of Livingston during this unimaginable time.

Let us reflect on the importance of our shared responsibility to protect and uplift one another.
