My name is Caroline and I am a lifelong West Virginian and true crime fanatic. I teach kindergarten and first grade in Southern WV where I live with my family. Shine a Light WV was born out of a desire to help rural cold cases and missing persons cases have their moment in the spotlight. Many resources vary from town to town, jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and rural areas often do not receive the type of media attention they deserve. Social media is a powerful tool that we all wield, and I hope that by revisiting these stories and sharing them that families will have the opportunity to feel heard and seen. I am not a professional journalist or writer, but I care deeply (obsessively) about these cases and I believe they deserve to be shared. Thank you for reading, sharing, and caring along with me.
