Ask your library reference librarian for help.How do i find info on past homicide cases in my county?
try the fbi website

Try this. Good luck
Your local newspaper will have a ';morgue'; (no pun intended). That's where the old stories are kept. Additionally, your local clerk of court's office keeps records of all homicide cases prosecuted in court. Those are ';public'; records, so you have access to the court files.
The FBI can only give you statistics, their Uniform Crime Report information goes back to 1930.


If you want stories and outcomes of investigations your best bet, since you are living in a small and peaceful area, is the local library for old newspapers, any local newspaper office that might maintain their own ';morgue';or a local college or historical society where someone with the same interests may have done the work already.
