Bloody Likely

Now with cleaner case articles, selectable text for your own research, and one-tap video playback. 1,600+ real cases. Free, no ads, no subscriptions.

Every rabbit hole you've ever fallen down, in one place.

Bloody Likely is a library of more than 1,600 real criminal cases — unsolved murders, cold cases, missing persons, serial homicides, kidnappings, and the crimes that never got the attention they deserved. Each one is a complete case file: a long-form article with cited sources, a timeline, photographs, maps, related documentaries and podcasts, and a community still arguing about what actually happened.

Free. No ads. No subscription. No paywall.

BROWSE 1,600+ REAL CASES • Search by name, place, or the one detail you half-remember • Filter by status — open, cold, solved, or reopened • Follow tag trails: serial killers, DNA evidence, disappearances, decades, states, and more • Every case shows status, location, date range, and victim count at a glance

READ THE FULL CASE FILE • Long-form articles written for readers, not scraped encyclopedia text • Inline citations you can tap, and a full source list on every case, so you can check the work yourself • Case timelines that lay out events in order • Photographs, interactive maps, and video placed where they matter in the story • Clear licensing and attribution on every article and image

LISTEN INSTEAD OF READING • Narrated audio of full case files • Playback speed, 15- and 30-second skip, and scrubbing • Keeps playing with your screen off or while you're in another app • AirPlay to your speakers, car, or headphones

START WITH THE BRIEFING • Official Briefing — a fact-based summary of what is actually established • Community Intelligence — the theories people have argued for years, clearly labeled as theory and never presented as fact

THE EVIDENCE BOARD • Documentaries, YouTube deep dives, and podcast episodes tied to the case • Images shared by other readers • Recent news coverage, so you know the moment something moves

JOIN THE DISCUSSION • Comment and reply on any case • Upvote and downvote so the sharpest analysis rises • Attach an image to make your point • Every comment is moderated — this is a place for theories, not for harassing families

BUILD YOUR WATCHLIST • Save cases and pick up exactly where you left off • Your home screen surfaces new activity on the cases you follow • Find related cases through shared tags and patterns

SIGN IN HOW YOU LIKE • Email, Apple, Google, or Discord • Read everything without an account — sign in only when you want to save or comment

Bloody Likely is built for the people who finish the podcast and immediately go looking for the primary sources. If you've ever paused an episode to search a name, this is the app you were reaching for.

Every case is documented from public sources and cited throughout, and presented with respect for victims and their families.
