Web Sleuths

I recently read an article a friend had posted on Facebook about Web Sleuths solving cold cases (see link) directly below).  What really caught my eye in this article was this:  "Over the past decade, the Internet helped create a growing army of volunteers who, with nothing more than a computer and the uniquely human ability to spot similarities buried in mountains of data, are helping bring closure to families and spurring law enforcement to reopen the most frigid of cold cases."  Volunteers helping to bring closure to families; and with all due respect to law enforcement, there just aren't the resources, manpower and time for them to pursue all these cases.  Please read the article and give us your thoughts on Web Sleuths.
