Serial-inspired vigilante app will help the Internet investigate unsolved crimes

An Indiegogo campaign inspired by the Serial podcast is underway to develop a platform for crowdsourcing crime solving.

CrowdSolve will supposedly provide a home for the public documents, a forum for debating theories and visualization tools for making presentations and videos. The money from Indiegogo will pay for the construction of the app and for the fees used to acquire the public documents, which Mr. Heilbut estimates is about $10,000 per case.
