Historical Case Files
Each case gathers related newspaper reports, named people, institutions, evidence markers, known follow-up, and areas for further study into one documented historical incident.
Open Investigations
Case Files separate the surviving historical record from interpretation. Multiple newspaper reprints are treated as related records unless independent reporting can be demonstrated.
Named highway personnel, physicians, anatomical observations, a Smithsonian trail, and multiple later newspaper versions.
