Some cold cases don’t begin with blood. They begin with a stamp. In this four-story true crime compilation, every case is drawn from publicly accessible case-file artifacts and processes, these stories follow the moment a routine document turns into a warning, then a trail. Names and locations have been changed for privacy. The records stay cold. The questions don’t. Because “closed” is a word the system uses. Not a human one.

Four cold cases. Four ordinary gatekeepers. One brutal truth: systems remember what people try to forget. Told in first-person, these stories follow the paper trail where it gets ugly: permits, panel printouts, access logs, donation boxes, lost-and-found sheets. Each narrator starts with routine. Each ends with a record that won’t stay buried. Inspired by public-record case materials. Names and locations have been changed for privacy.

Four cold cases. Four ordinary jobs. Four paper trails that refuse to stay quiet. A municipal utility analyst sees a “vacant” house pull water like a fire hydrant for one single night, then return to silence. A stormwater supervisor finds a storm-drain access entry that shouldn’t exist, signed by a name no roster can explain. A civil engineer discovers a bridge’s sensors recorded a rare stop-and-shift anomaly at the exact minute a driver vanished, turning steel and strain into a roadside black box. A dam night operator realizes, too late, that a restricted control-room sign-in shows...

A handwritten name added after departure. A lost-and-found tag that belongs to nobody. An overnight rail permit with a timestamp gap no one can explain. A ride-along waiver that goes blank like it was never signed. In this cold-case collection, each story is told in a first-person, conversational voice by the person who handled the document that should have kept the truth straight: a ferry purser, an airport lost-and-found supervisor, a signal technician, and a patrol officer. They don’t chase glory. They chase what systems leave behind, logs, addenda, CAD notes, chain-of-custody forms, ...

Some disappearances don’t make headlines. They don’t trigger manhunts or documentaries or late-night specials. They leave behind paperwork. This unsettling true-crime–inspired collection tells the stories of people who vanished not through mystery alone, but through systems that noticed them briefly, and then moved on. Each story is narrated in first person by the last professional who officially interacted with the missing: a legal aid volunteer filing a restraining order, a tow-yard manager rotating an unclaimed car, an intake nurse waiting for a patient who never arrived, an ...

A book of forty short stories by Tim Conley.

Some disappearances don’t end in bloodstains or headlines. They end in paperwork. Filed Without Resolution is a collection of true-crime cold case stories drawn from public court records, municipal filings, and regulatory logs, cases where people didn’t vanish into darkness, but into systems that quietly moved on without them. Each story is told in first-person by the professionals who witnessed the disappearance from the edges: a process server taping an eviction notice to an empty door, a probate attorney declaring a death with no body, a zoning inspector clearing a shelter that ...

They didn’t vanish in the dark. They vanished in systems that were working exactly as designed. In this chilling true-crime compilation, every story begins with a record, logged, verified, stamped, and filed. Each story is told in first-person by the worker who followed protocol, people who did their jobs correctly, compassionately, and by the book. Names and locations have been changed, but every case is rooted in real public records, court filings, and institutional documentation available online. There are no conspiracies here. No cover-ups. No villains twirling mustaches. Just forms ...

The literary world was shocked when, in 1890, at the height of his career, Robert Louis Stevenson announced his intention to settle permanently in Samoa. His readers were equally shocked when he began to use the subject material offered by his new environment not to promote a romance of empire but to produce some of the most ironic and critical treatments of imperialism in 19th-century fiction.
