Editorial Policy & Corrections
Case on the Case revisits true crime with curiosity, care, and respect. This page explains how we work, and how to tell us when we get something wrong.
Mission and standards
We tell true-crime stories from the public record, accurately and without sensationalism. We do not glorify offenders, dwell on gore, or treat real tragedy as spectacle. Every story is written to keep the victims and the people who never stopped looking at its center.
Where our information comes from
We prioritize sources roughly in this order, and we cite them:
- official records, court documents, and law-enforcement statements;
- missing-person and victim-advocacy organizations;
- credible, established news outlets;
- documentaries from reputable broadcasters;
- books and long-form reporting, where appropriate.
Each article ends with a Sources & Further Reading list so you can check our work.
What we will not do
- No invented facts. Every factual claim is traceable to a source.
- No unsupported speculation. Theories are clearly labeled as theories, not stated as fact.
- No fake evidence. We do not create or publish fabricated documents, fake crime-scene photographs, or AI-generated, documentary-style "evidence" presented as if it were real.
About our cover images
The cover images on this site are atmospheric, symbolic artwork created to set a tone. They are not real evidence, locations, victims, suspects, or crime-scene photographs, and should never be read as such, unless a caption explicitly states an image is a genuine, sourced photograph.
Presumption of innocence
Unless someone has been convicted or has admitted responsibility, we do not treat them as guilty, and neither should readers. Where a case is unresolved or charges are unproven, we say so plainly and label case status.
Victims, families, minors, and vulnerable people
We write with respect for victims and their families, and we avoid graphic, exploitative, or gratuitous detail. We take particular care with cases involving children and other vulnerable people, including only what is necessary to tell the story responsibly and leaving out detail that would serve only to shock.
How we use AI
AI tools may assist with drafting, research organization, summarization, formatting, and generating the symbolic cover artwork. Human editorial direction, source-checking, review, and final responsibility remain with Rob T. Case. AI is a tool here, not the author of record.
Corrections
We want to get it right, and to fix it when we do not. To report an error, email editor@caseonthecase.com with:
- the article title or link;
- the specific statement you believe is inaccurate;
- and, where possible, a source that supports the correction.
We review every correction request against the available record. Where a material correction is warranted, we update the article and, for significant changes, note that it was updated.
Removal and context requests
We understand these stories touch real lives. If you are connected to a case and have a concern about an article, contact us and we will review it respectfully. Please note that not all information drawn from the public record will be removed, but we will consider context, accuracy, fairness, and sensitivity in good faith.
