You get the first call. Clutch Confidential exists for readers who want to do more than follow the reporting. Every month, members help choose a case or research project for Clutch to put under the microscope.
For our first vote, I picked four cases with four very different records to dig through.
This isn't a vote on guilt or innocence. It's a vote on where Clutch should look next.
🎤 TUPAC SHAKUR — WHAT TOOK 30 YEARS? A murder that remained unsolved for nearly three decades is finally in a courtroom. What changed—and does the evidence available today explain why prosecution took this long?
📁 ALEX MURDAUGH — REBUILD THE CASE The conviction is gone. A retrial is coming. Strip away years of documentaries and spectacle: what does the actual evidentiary record look like now?
🧬 COLONIAL PARKWAY — THE DNA BREAKTHROUGH Forty years after two women were murdered, the FBI says forensic technology finally identified their killer. Let's reconstruct what investigators knew, what they didn't, and what ultimately broke the case.
🔎 BRITTANY SHANK — THE NIGHT SHE DISAPPEARED A crashed car. A young Michigan woman who vanished. Years of investigation. Let's see what the public record can establish—and identify where the timeline stops answering questions.
