Voices for the Victims
Unforgotten is intended to give voice to the voiceless: Alabama’s missing and murdered victims. Sellers and Stormy of the Alabama Cold Case Advocacy nonprofit organization put an emphasis on ethical research, bridging the gaps between law enforcement and families, and sharing each story in a respectful, victim-facing manner in an effort to ensure these cases - these individuals - remain unforgotten.
