About the show
Keeping overlooked cases visible across the Ozarks.
Ozarks Crime Watch covers missing persons, unsolved murders, suspicious deaths, and cold cases from the Ozarks and Four States region.
Our missionTell the story. Preserve the record. Point people toward responsible action.
Every episode begins with the belief that the person at the center of a case is more important than the mystery around it. We use public records, official sources, attributed reporting, and local context to make difficult stories understandable without turning rumor into fact.
Our regionMissouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas—and the communities between them.
The Ozarks and Four States region crosses jurisdictional and media boundaries. A locally rooted archive can help people find the right agency, reliable source, episode, or public resource without losing the human story.

The plural name reflects the full region we cover. The spacing gives every part of the mission room to stand on its own: place, subject, and public awareness.
How we work
Four commitments guide the project
01People before spectacle
We center victims, missing people, families, and communities rather than glorifying violence.
02Facts before theories
Documented facts, attributed claims, analysis, and unresolved questions are clearly separated.
03Local context matters
Regional history and firsthand community knowledge help explain what national summaries often miss.
04Corrections stay visible
When reliable information changes, the public record should show what changed and why.
