SO True Crime Summit

Welcome, fellow truth-seekers and armchair detectives, to the inaugural Southern Oregon True Crime Summit. My name is Melynda, and like many of you, I’ve spent countless hours meticulously examining evidence, delving into case files, and pondering the ‘whodunits’ that captivate our collective curiosity. 

We are here because we share a fascination with the darker side of human nature and a relentless drive to understand the ‘why’ behind the unthinkable. This event is a unique opportunity to step beyond the headlines and explore the real stories, the victims, the investigators, and the justice system that works to bring clarity to chaos.

Over the next 2 days, we will hear from experts in forensics, psychology and victim advocacy.  We will examine famous cold cases, discuss modern investigative techniques, and explore the ethical considerations of our shared obsession. We will learn, we will question, and perhaps, we will even find a few answers.

Even though we find true crime content compelling, we want to  always ensure our interest is rooted in deep respect for the victims and their stories.
