Field notes
The archive displayed on the homepage spans cases and locations across the United States, including the 1884 Servant Girl Annihilator case in Austin and the 1969 Zodiac case in San Francisco. Red Thread says each case will distinguish what is known from what is not and identify its sources. The page presents the map, alerts, and audio as app features, but also says the iPhone and Android apps are still coming soon.
