Information on an unsolved murder in Alabama lives in three places. (1) The Alabama Attorney General's Cold Case unit at https://www.alabamaag.gov/cold-cases/ — public list of homicides and sexual assaults still under active review, with victim photos, case summaries, and a tip-submission form. (2) Alabama Project Cold Case at https://database.projectcoldcase.org/?state=Alabama — community-built database of unsolved homicides built from family submissions, news reports, and ALEA data; searchable by city, year, and victim name. (3) The investigating agency itself — usually the county sheriff's investigations division if the murder happened outside city limits, or the city police homicide unit (Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery, Huntsville all have one). For the actual case file, file an Alabama Open Records Act request under Code of Alabama § 36-12-40 — agencies routinely deny active-investi…
