CrimeCon’s CLUE Awards is currently underway at the World Center Marriott in Orlando.
CrimeOnline’s Nancy Grace joins as a notable presenter, alongside Kelly Siegler (Cold Justice), Camille Vasquez, and this year’s host, ABC News legal analyst Matt Murphy.
CLUE also introduced its inaugural “America’s Greatest Detective” award, which aims to recognize the exceptional investigative efforts of law enforcement dedicated to solving crimes nationwide. From now until September 15, voting is open for the award.
Also this year, the Gabby Petito Foundation received the prestigious “Crimefighter of the Year” award, which shines a spotlight on people or organizations that have made a substantial impact and demonstrated unwavering dedication to pursuing justice for crime victims. The award presentation will be conducted by Derrica and Natalie Wilson, the co-founders of The Black and Missing Foundation (BAMFI), which received this honor in 2022.
