How to go about researching a true crime... I'm a bit of an old hand with this, and often have my own methods and advice to give.. and more often than not here on UM we have folks that have goodly advice on researching crime too.
But we often have members that are new to this too. From all around the world.
So I'm hoping this thread can be a resource on how to go about researching crime.. Local newspapers, good sites for recent news? Historical crime that happened decades ago or more, how to look it up. Plat map archives and such.
I don't want this thread to derail into specific cases- that's better off for other threads.
I'll kick this off with a few bits I do... look for local news channels/sites. If historic, look for cited news sources in print.
