At Criminal Coffee Co., we believe that every person deserves dignity and justice, no matter how much time has passed. That’s why we’re proud to have donated $5,850 to our friends at Moxxy Forensic Investigations, a non-profit organization based in Texas specializing in solving cold cases through advanced DNA testing. Our contribution hopefully will aid in identifying a young woman, who we've nicknamed "Caroline," who was found in the woods of Houston, Texas, on September 8, 1992, and has remained unidentified for over 30 years. We're hoping this is a step toward restoring her identity and giving her story the attention it deserves.
