Who Killed Devan Sanders? A Community's Loss
Send us Fan Mail
Devan Sanders came home from work around 11 p.m. on a stormy August night in 2018. Something — or someone — drew him back outside into the rain. He was found shot to death on the side of his own house hours later, steps from his front door in Dayton, Ohio. He was 25 years old. He worked two jobs, drove relief supplies to Flint, Michigan, and once saved a stranger's life without ever knowing it. His killer has never been caught. Today, we sit down with the woman who supervised him at a local nonprofit, who has waited seven years for answers that have never come. This is the unsolved murder of Devan Sanders.

Every Unsolved Case Deserves a Voice.
Somewhere right now, a family is waiting for answers. Not the famous cases that dominate true crime podcasts or fill network television specials — but the other cases. The ones that slipped through the cracks of media attention. The ones where a name was forgotten before it ever had a chance to be remembered.
That's exactly why TheColdCases.com exists.
We are building the most comprehensive repository of lesser-known cold cases the internet has ever seen — a dedicated, searchable archive where forgotten victims finally get a permanent home. Where their names, their faces, and their stories are preserved with the dignity and urgency they deserve. Where investigators, journalists, amateur sleuths, and compassionate strangers can connect the dots that time tried to bury.
But we can't do this alone.
This work takes time, research, resources, and an unwavering community of people who refuse to let the forgotten stay forgotten. Every case we document is hours of careful, respectful work. Every profile published is a renewed chance for justice.
You are the missing piece.
