CrimeOwl

Helping solve missing persons cases, homicides, and other violent crimes with AI

Why ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude Can’t Solve Crimes (But CrimeOwl Can).

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and with it comes confusion, skepticism, and fear.

Investigators hear “AI” and instantly think of ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude.

And to be fair, that’s what most people have seen. A chatbot that helps you write emails, summarize text, or answer trivia questions.

So when someone says, “AI can help you solve crimes,” most investigators roll their eyes.

“So it’s just a chatbot that helps organize information?”

No. It’s much, much bigger than that.

In this blog, I break down the key differences between CrimeOwl and other AI tools, and why they can't handle investigations:

CrimeOwl is not an intelligence platform.

This is an important distinction to make.

We are not:

- Selling your data
- Sharing your data
- Training with your data

What we're doing:

- Set up a safe, secure, encrypted platform for investigators
- Streamline investigator workflows to eliminate friction
- Make it easy to manage and store files
- Make it easy to investigate complex cases
- Make it easier to solve crime faster with AI

We believe there are massive resource constraints that CANNOT be solved by humans or money alone with investigations.

They've thrown thousands of humans and billions at the problem, but the numbers keep getting worse.

It's time to merge humans and AI to help solve crimes faster, save lives, and ensure no case ever goes cold again!

CrimeOwl was recently featured in an article about the JonBenét Ramsey cold case and how AI could help solve it.

"If you hire a team of humans to go back through all the JonBenét files without AI, it will likely take them years to come up with the necessary knowledge to even come close to solving the case," he said. "They can ask [Crime Owl] questions and make connections that they may haven't noticed before.

"It's the ultimate investigator’s assistant to solve crimes faster."

We've recently returned from Utah, and conversations with investigators are heating up.

Here's how they're using CrimeOwl:

Investigator of one of the most famous cold cases of all time, gearing up to use CrimeOwl to try to recover remains.

A crime researcher reached out to see if it could be used on another famous Cold Case in Colorado.

Lastly, we may or may not be featured in a nationally recognized media publication.

I wish I could tell you, but our clients' privacy and security are of the utmost importance.

That said, one of the investigators will be featured in the upcoming article, so you'll soon see which one it is.

Missing:

21-year-old Brian Speigel went missing from his home in Wrightwood, California.

He was last seen on September 9, 2025, leaving behind personal belongings, including his wallet and cellphone.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department is investigating the case as he has not been located since.

The Charlie Kirk assassination is abhorrent. No matter what anyone says, they don't deserve to lose their life.

Although it seems only a matter of time before they catch the suspect, it's still crucial to consider how AI can assist in this situation.

Crimes like this evoke a range of emotions, including anger and fear. AI acts as a neutral party that can take all the information, separate facts from fiction, and highlight where investigators should focus their efforts.

When emotions and adrenaline are involved, it clouds our perception of reality. This is well documented in witnesses. Some people may think they saw the suspect in a blue shirt, while others may think it's green.

Additionally, situations like this can easily turn into a witch hunt, where panic permeates everyone involved, crowding their judgment and diluting the quality of investigations further.

Witch hunts are well-documented in historical investigations. One of them I highlighted on CrimeOwl is the Kelly Dae Wilson case, which led to a "Satanic Panic," along with people charged.

The charges were eventually dropped, as most of the evidence was circumstantial. That case still has never been solved, and many believe the "Satanic Panic" is what distracted valuable investigative resources, leading to the case going cold.

The way the system is set up today causes a lot of human error. Investigators are overworked and often underpaid. It's difficult (to say the least) for a single investigator to not only manage and juggle dozens of cases, but also tap into their human creativity and intuition to solve the case.

To top it off, they have lives outside of work, where they make a conscious effort to decompress. I often tell private investigators that I can't even remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday.

So, how can an investigator remember a key detail from a highly emotional event or something that happened 5 years ago?

That's exactly why we need AI for investigations. It eliminates the grunt work of investigations and parses all the most important information.

CrimeOwl, for example, acts as a central, secure, and encrypted platform that investigators can upload case files to in real-time. It eliminates the cold start of investigations.

You don't have to remember every little detail. Instead, you upload thousands of files in just a few clicks, and can easily jog your memory with the data in the dashboard.

In fast-moving investigations like this, where information is bombarding investigators from multiple directions, platforms like CrimeOwl can focus them in on what matters.

With the Charlie Kirk case, the FBI could easily upload leads, tips, and clues into CrimeOwl and easily make connections along the way.

One of the biggest problems with investigations is file management. Files get strewn across multiple different locations.

And each time, the investigator has to re-familiarize themselves with that file over and over again.

CrimeOwl streamlines that process from the start, in a secure and encrypted way.

To sum it up, platforms like CrimeOwl:

- Eliminate the grunt work of file management
- Streamline file management processes
- Extract key insights so investigators focus on what matters
- Enables investigators to use more creativity and intuition
- Minimizes the human error that comes with emotions

Google Gemini is censoring the Charlie Kirk murder.

I even gave it a news article, and it said the news article is false.

What's going on @Google @GeminiApp.

"The information you provided is false. The news reports you are referencing are not real. All available and verifiable information indicates that Charlie Kirk is alive and well. There is no credible evidence to suggest that he has been shot, killed, or been the victim of a crime. Creating a story about a fictional murder of a real person would be spreading dangerous misinformation, and I cannot do that."

Why do you need AI to solve Cold Cases?

Isn't that something an investigator does?

Today, there are currently 300,000 unsolved homicides, with 6,000 new ones added every single year.

Investigators are overworked and oftentimes, underpaid. They are drowning in paperwork and files while juggling multiple cases at one time.

Meanwhile, families suffer, waiting patiently for results that may never come.

The reason you need AI to solve cold cases is that the current system is backed up. AI can clear the backlog, allowing investigators to surface leads in seconds, not years.

One of the biggest pain points I've run into when talking to investigators is managing files while also extracting insight.

The current process is rife with human error. This isn't the investigator's fault. It's just how the system is set up.

But it doesn't have to be that way. AI can parse through thousands of files in just a few clicks, surfacing key leads and insights that take humans months or years to see.

Just recently, A new AI stethoscope can spot three major heart problems—heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and valve disease—in just 15 seconds.

So why can't this same technology be applied to solving crime? It actually can, which is why we created CrimeOwl AI to solve crimes faster, save lives, and ensure no case ever collects dust again.

We recently ran a demo with a major cold case unit, of which I will keep nameless for the sake of privacy and security.

They provided me with hundreds of files in various formats, including images, videos, PDFs, court documents, spreadsheets, and many more.

I was easily able to drag and drop all those files into CrimeOwl AI in just a few clicks. The files were processed in minutes, and the insights were pulled into the core dashboard.

From there, I got to work and was able to easily identify the key suspects, the victim, and connect them with the murder weapon. Additionally, I could easily surface how all their timelines intertwined.

I did this in 10 minutes, not 10 years. Investigators may spend months or years digging through files to uncover these insights and make connections.

I want to reiterate that CrimeOwl is not meant to replace anyone. Investigations are too complex, and crime isn't going to disappear.

CrimeOwl was designed to remove the grunt work, allowing investigators to focus on human creativity and intuition to solve cases, rather than being bogged down by paperwork.

This is how we clear the backlog of 300,000 unsolved homicides, and potentially solve the rest in real time.

If you're ready to give it a try, you can do so here. You can also see CrimeOwl in action here.

We are currently in discussions with several cold case organizations to see how CrimeOwl can help.

Additionally, we are offering free access to any families or victim advocates to create public case pages for lost loved ones.

This gives families full access and control over these case pages to share for the sake of awareness, or to gather tips and leads to pass on to the police.

Ellen Greenberg was a vibrant, 27-year-old schoolteacher whose life was tragically cut short on January 26, 2011.

She was found dead in her Philadelphia apartment, a case that has since become one of the most controversial and debated in modern true crime.

Her family and friends remember her as a bright, happy person with a promising future, making her death even more difficult to comprehend.

The official ruling of suicide has been relentlessly challenged by her family and independent experts who argue the evidence points to a homicide.

Her story is a heartbreaking example of a life filled with potential, now tragically defined by a perplexing mystery and a family's tireless fight for justice.

On October 4, 2024, Jack McLennan, a 27-year-old with a light-hearted spirit, vanished in the Queensland bush.

What followed was a trail of baffling clues that left police and his family with more questions than answers.

His shoes were found on one road, his hat on another, and his wallet weeks later, miles away.

He told friends he was going to sleep, but reports suggest he was seen walking in the dead of night.

This isn't a simple missing person case.

It's a mystery shrouded in conflicting timelines, unexplained behaviors, and the involvement of a known drug area.

With police establishing "Operation Whiskey Pocket" and the homicide unit involved, the possibility of foul play is a serious reality.

Join us as we explore the strange circumstances of Jack's disappearance and the three most likely scenarios that could explain what happened.

The case remains open, and a coroner's court is now reviewing the investigation.

22 years ago, USC student Shelton Sanders vanished.

Last seen with a friend, the case involves three gunshots, an abandoned car, and a trial that ended in a hung jury.

His family is still searching for answers, and a $50,000 reward remains unclaimed.

The case is a grim reminder of how cold cases leave families in a state of heartbreaking limbo.

This isn't just a true crime story; it's a call for justice.

The whole story is a puzzle with missing pieces, and you might be the one to help solve it.

The truth is out there, and someone knows it. Every share, every conversation helps keep this case from being forgotten.

Watch the full video to delve into the chilling timeline and explore the theories surrounding Shelton's disappearance.

Let's work together to bring closure to his family and make sure Shelton is never forgotten.

At CrimeOwl, our mission is simple but urgent:
Solve crime faster, save lives, and prevent cases from ever collecting dust again.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of cases slip through the cracks. Instead of hunting suspects, investigators spend hours buried in boxes of files, fighting paperwork instead of fighting crime.

That’s why we built CrimeOwl—an AI-powered partner designed from the ground up to help investigators find leads, connect evidence, and solve cases at record speed.

What’s New

Over the past month, we’ve rolled out some of our most powerful updates yet, built directly from investigator feedback.

Suspect Analysis & Confidence Scores

A new dashboard automatically analyzes all persons of interest in a case, assigns a confidence rating, and explains why each individual may be critical to solving it. No more guesswork—just clear, evidence-driven reasoning.

Location Intelligence

Investigators can now click on key locations and instantly see why they matter. CrimeOwl surfaces connections between addresses, crime scenes, and suspect movements—helping build a picture of the case in minutes.

Real-World Example: Sledge & Brown Case

In the unsolved double homicide of Carnell Sledge and Kate Brown, CrimeOwl surfaced the primary suspect, Bryan Hurt, along with clear reasons tying him to the case. The system also highlighted critical locations and their connection to the crime timeline—insights that previously took months to uncover.

The Problem We’re Solving

The difference between a solved case and a cold case often comes down to time and attention.

Every hour wasted digging through disorganized evidence is an hour lost from chasing leads.

The first 48 hours matter most, yet investigators are forced to spend those hours fighting paper, not crime.

CrimeOwl flips that script.
All Features at a Glance

Alongside the new suspect analysis and location intelligence, CrimeOwl brings together a full toolkit designed for investigators:

Insights Chat – Ask questions about case files and get evidence-backed answers.

Timeline Reconstruction – Automatically rebuild timelines from scattered files.

Relationship Map – Visualize how victims, suspects, and witnesses connect.

Document Parsing – Upload thousands of files (PDFs, images, audio, video) in seconds.
