Welcome to Charms and Chains

Welcome to Charms and Chains! We believe that media often focuses too much on the criminals behind evil. Our mission is to challenge the idolization of these and instead highlight the voices of the individuals who truly deserve to be heard. On this website, you'll find information aimed at spreading awareness, along with helpful tips, facts, and insights.

About Us!

We are the proud owners and creators of this website. As college seniors with a passion for true crime, our journey began in our junior year when we took a criminal justice class that expanded our interest in the field of criminal Justice. During one of our classes, we learned how victims and survivors often do not receive the justice and recognition they deserve, which inspired us to make a difference. Fun Fact: We initially created this website for a class project, even though it wasn't a requirement. We felt it was essential to give victims a voice, so we created this space for them!
