crimeHQ Perks at CrimeCon 2026

May 19, 2026

CrimeCon is better with crimeHQ! Check out the exclusive perks for crimeHQ members at CrimeCon 2026 Las Vegas.



CRIMEHQ MEMBER-ONLY BONUS SESSION

CrimeCon will be over for everyone except crimeHQ members! Join us for an exclusive bonus session at 2:15pm on Sunday, 5/31 in Breakout Two: Murder Stories with Matt Murphy: The Case Against Joshua Blount. Former Orange County Deputy District Attorney and author Matt Murphy uses AI to bring a little-known case back to life. In August 2006, one man was killed and four others were wounded in a drive-by shooting in Costa Mesa, California. The case received little media attention yet Murphy was still tasked with prosecuting the shooter and seeking justice for the victims. Using AI-generated imagery, Matt has recreated the timeline, the suspect, the victim, and the victim’s family to shed new light on a case he believes deserves far more attention.
