The Charles County Sheriff’s Office’s Cold Case Unit investigates the homicides, rapes, and other serious crimes known as “cold cases” because they have remained unsolved over time. Detectives work on cold cases outside their regular assignments, funded by a grant.
Information about our cold cases is provided below. If you have information regarding any of these cases, please contact us. The victims of these crimes await justice, and their families need closure.
If you can help us solve any of them, remember you do not have to give your name. You can contact Charles County Crime Solvers anonymously. Crime Solvers offers rewards of up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest or indictment.
