• Where can I find my address if anyone was murdered in my house?
  You can look up periodicals. A search by address, city, or description of the location should be helpful when looking up if there's a story written about it in online news wires. Another viable way to approach this is by looking up the past owners of the property. If you do not have the names of previous owners, you can get them from the deed recorders. Afterward, you can search under the homeowners' names in the periodicals. Chances are their names are included in a column that could have been written. If the online news wires do not sufficiently go far back in time, you can visit the library nearby the property and look up archived reports.
• Where can I find out why the State Police only allow limited criminal history searches while other governmental agencies provide background checks in different forms?
  A limited criminal history search is far from the comprehensive background check many private citizens look for. However, this search may be worth requesting as it is from the state's law enforcement agency. The ISP's search only includes felonies and class A misdemeanor arrests, but when looking for more information such as driving records, marriages, judgments, and liens, accessing the individual department's sites can also provide the data as official certificates.

Departments which record, maintain and provide official documents, certificates or information requested by the general public.
