Announcements & Updates

There’s a new workspace for CaseDive members:

My Research Desk is a private place to keep the pieces of case research you’re working with, without needing to organize everything somewhere else first.

Save useful links into folders, keep quick research notes, and create Working Case Files for cases you’re digging into. Working Case Files can be saved as drafts, returned to whenever you want, and submitted to The CaseDive when you think a case is ready for consideration. 📂

You’ll also find a shortcut to the CaseDive files you’re already working on, so your personal research tools and active case work are all within reach.

Introducing CaseDive Listen

CaseDive now has its own installable listening companion.

CaseDive Listen organizes podcast coverage by case, making it easy to browse investigations, continue listening, save episodes for later, and jump directly to the complete CaseDive case file for timelines, research, documents, and discussion.

It's free to use and can be installed directly from your browser and mobile devices.

Look for this icon link, on the Podcast Companion Page.

Hello @Everyone !

We have officially updated the archive with several new Case Files. As a reminder, all newly added cases are automatically populated into your main workspace dashboard for easy access.

To support deeper analysis, we have launched a new "Connections Map" tab within the individual case folders (as seen in the Jeremy Doland Bright Case File). This tool is designed to help us visually map out the complex networks of people, investigators, timelines, and organizations surrounding a case without the usual clutter of a discussion forum.

How you can help this week:

As you browse the new files and explore the Connections Maps, we are looking for feedback:

1. Does the visual map layout load smoothly on your device?

A lot has changed across The CaseDive recently, and we wanted to take a moment to share some of the new additions.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve continued expanding the structure of the archive and research system, including:

• new case files

• updated case cards and visual organization

• archive preservation status indicators

• expanded timeline and research tools

The CaseDive now has a centralized “Submit Case Materials” system available across case groups. These are located in every group on a pinned post.

Going forward, documents, screenshots, PDFs, timelines, records, and other research materials should be submitted through the new “Submit Case Materials” button rather than posted directly into discussion feeds whenever possible.

Why we’re making this change:

As the archive grows, organization and long-term research accessibility become increasingly important.

This new system helps:

• reduce duplicate uploads

• A new Missing Persons page is now live. It serves as a visual entry point into active and historical cases, allowing you to explore and connect directly to structured case discussions. Each profile links into a shared space where information, timelines, and ongoing conversation are organized in one place.

• We’ve also added a new Research Resources page, bringing together official databases, case archives, and tools for deeper investigation in one place.

• Alongside that, the main navigation has been updated with dropdowns, making it easier to access pages that were previously a bit more tucked away.

As always, the goal is to keep things clear, accessible, and easy to explore. I hope you find these updates useful as you explore and work through cases here.
