MOBILE, Ala. (WDNews) — Alabama Cold Case Advocacy is working to raise $10,000 for a new project aimed at putting information about missing people and unsolved cases directly into the hands of people who may have information investigators need.
According to Alabama Cold Case Advocacy, its Cold Case Playing Card Initiative would create professionally produced, durable decks featuring real missing persons, unsolved homicides and other unresolved cases from across Alabama.
The organization said the cards would be placed inside correctional facilities, putting names, faces, case circumstances and tip information in front of incarcerated individuals who may remember something, recognize someone or know a detail investigators have never received.
“Sometimes a case doesn’t need someone to know everything,” Alabama Cold Case Advocacy said. “It just needs one person to know one thing.”
According to the organization, contributions to the $10,000 fundraising effort will help turn the project from designs into physical decks that can be placed into circulation and used repeatedly.
“Help us fund the cards. Help us put these cases in the right hands. Help us create another opportunity for a lead to surface,” Alabama Cold Case Advocacy said.
The organization described the project as, “More than playing cards. Another chance for answers.”
According to Alabama Cold Case Advocacy, those wishing to contribute can scan the QR code on the organization’s campaign graphic or text DECK to 53-555.
The organization is also encouraging people to share information about the initiative, saying someone who sees it could ultimately help get the cards where they need to go.
