As you may know from our past videos, Reddit’s investigative efforts over the years have been controversial to say the least. On one hand, Reddit communities have solved 3 separate missing person cold cases: Grateful Doe, Woman 82483, and Lyle Stevik. It is not an over-exaggeration to say that without Redditors’ sleuthing and social networking, the John and Jane Does in these cases would have never been identified and closure would have never been brought to their families.

On the other hand, whenever Reddit users have tried to assist in large scale manhunts, it has never gone well. At best, wannabe detectives do nothing but engage in pointless speculation and theory crafting like in the 2021 Gabby Petito case and the 2022 University of Idaho murders. And at worst, they ruin innocent people’s lives by hurling baseless accusations at whoever they deem ‘suspicious’, like in the Boston Marathon Bombings of 2013.

In fact, aside from one hit-and-run manslaughter case where Redditors identified the vehicle involved from just a small piece of debris left at the scene, Reddit has never solved a criminal case.

Until today…
