Mothers in two small American towns wanted answers. What caused their children to become victims of cancer? Taylorville, Illinois and Morgan City, Louisiana each had a mystery to solve—an epidemic of a rare childhood cancer called neuroblastoma. A David versus Goliath battle for justice. Told by a private investigator, this is the story of his investigation. The link between the two communities soon became clear—exposure to a by-product of coal gasification called coal tar. A story about corporate greed, political corruption, and environmental justice. The case became an important Illinois Supreme Court precedent. Investigating Innocence Media is the publisher of Bill Clutter’s debut book.

Donors who give $1,000 will receive a box of 10 books to give as a gift to friends and family. We encourage you to donate copies to a school library in your community so that children learn the history of environmental pollution and the actions that can be taken by individual citizens, banding together to prevent the devastating consequences of cancer.

Investigating Innocence is a not-for-profit organization of private investigators based in Louisville, Kentucky.

Our success in freeing three innocent people from prison, so far, was achieved through pro bono investigative services we provided to indigent inmates and their attorneys. We are counting on the generosity of donors, like you, to continue our mission to free the wrongfully convicted.

Please give what you can by making a tax-deductible donation.

Investigating Innocence was started in 2013 by Bill Clutter, who founded the Illinois Innocence Project in 2001. His work was credited by the Chicago Tribune when Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011, because of the many innocent people who were freed from death row.

We also work on educating policy makers on reforms that are needed. Recently, the Illinois Attorney General established a state-wide conviction integrity unit because of our advocacy work. This reform will make it easier to free the wrongfully convicted.

If you have an interest in volunteering, we want to hear from you.
