Ventura Police Department Unveils Cold Cases Homicide Details Online

With over 25 cold cases including homicide, missing persons, and unidentified deceased individuals stemming from 1970 to 2018, the Ventura Police Department has released a webpage with the basics of each case hoping the public can assist in filling information gaps. The webpage can be found at www.CityofVentura.ca.gov/ColdCases.

“We have a commitment to the victims of these crimes; their families have waited a long time for answers and by sharing information, this brings a little hope,” said Major Crimes Detective Sergeant Bill Dolan. “Every tip that is shared, no matter how small, has the potential of being the missing piece of information.”

The webpage provides short summaries of unsolved cases that occurred within the Ventura Police Department’s jurisdiction. The webpage will be updated routinely with other cold case information as more details become available.

The Ventura Police Department has created this webpage with the hope new information will be received to further the investigations into these cases and bring closure to families and loved ones. The webpage also serves as a tribute to those who have lost their lives but have not been forgotten.

The Ventura Police Department remains steadfast in bringing justice to the victims and their families, no matter how much time has passed.

Any new information can be provided via email at coldcase@venturapd.org. You can also make an anonymous call to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. If your information leads to an arrest you could receive up to $1000.
