with out the year,day,etc..how was it ruled ? with out that info it's hard to tell. if it was closed it would be archived at the police station. if its not closed or still open or sent to a cold case team. you wont find out a thing.with it being your cousin you don't have much rights to any info only his mother,father, wife or kids would. just ask your aunt or uncle about the info to this case or have them check up it if it's a cold case.

Has the case gone to trial?  If so, it will be on microfilm at the Court house where the trial took place.  If the case was never solved then the police have the information and they may or may not release it to you.\n\nGood Luck and Take Care

You'll probably need an attorney because they have more resources and will know more about what is realistic. Be prepared to pay for the investigation. They will also need to know dates, bank names, anything you can tell them.\n\nYou can start yourself if you want to try by checking the local probate courts that would have been used - that would be where she was when she died, most probably. The probate will be public record.

Before you do anything else, you should obtain a copy of your dad's death certificate and see what the official cause of death was.  If the death was officially listed as suicide, it is likely that any evidence relating to the case - and in some cases any reports - are probably gone.  If that's the case, it is unlikely that you will be able to get the case reopened as their will be no evidence, no reports, nothing...\n\nIf his cause of death is undetermined there may still be police reports and evidence floating around.  It has been 20 years so it is possible that evidence would be gone even under those circumstances.\n\nI have 11 years of law enforcement experience, nearly 4 as a detective.  I have worked on a lot of deaths and have had a few families express concerns about the findings of an investigation.  So far none of these cases have been reopened.  In almost ALL cases, absent of some astounding new evidence, you will find that police departments are reluctant to reopen these cases, instead banking on the finding of the initial investigation.\n\nThe issue relating to the ex-wife's dad being involved in the investigation may be something...  may be nothing.  In a small town it is not uncommon for police to investigate deaths of people they know...even family members.  Try addressing your concern through the police department hierarchy first, then try with a lawyer, then move into areas like the media. \n\nGood luck!

I have no clue aside from finding where they kept their important files / papers / documents (car title, mortgage receipts, contracts, etc) and look  through them.\n\nUsually the closest relative has access to these papers.\nI would guess a slow painful manual search calling insurance companies giving them the name and address of the deceased may help, but would be as I said.., painfully slow.

This can be difficult, as there is no one complete archive of court records.  There is probably not even a record of where the records are!\n\nYou are best off starting at the local courts where you think the matter might have been heard.  This will be especially the case for civil matters.

You can go to your local courthouse.  in the county clerck's office they have computers that you can search on for free.  The cases are a matter of public record.  If that doesn't work, you can ask the clerk about it.  hope this helps!!!

Contact the County District Attorneys office who disposed of the guys case, ask for his disposition and location.\nIf you were a victim to a crime you are intitled to the crime victims compensation act.

Dear Friend,\n\nYou would need to call the court who heard the case.  Unless you have access to Westlaw or Lexis, there's no other way to get the documents.  If you're not sure who heard the case, try to narrow it down to the state and federal courts closest to where the person lived.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

there are a lot of "pay" sites where you could obtain the information you are looking for, but if you know the city, township, county or parish of the person you are searching for you can get it by going to that areas local court-records website. Try a search on the county website where you believe the person lives.
