Death Records Now

I’m trying to learn more about the death of a family member that occured in 1985. I have reason to believe I haven’t been told the truth regarding the cause of death and I’m hoping I can learn more by reviewing police records of the incident. I know the full name and social security number of the individual. Where do I go to get police records related to this persons death and perhaps new articles written at the time?

For free, check out http://www.crimcheck.com , they have an extensive free public records section.

But since you would have to do the research yourself which can lead to missing out on information, I would recomend http://www.easybackgroundchecks.com , they offer statewide background checks for $15. They also offer nationwide background checks for $30

Or do you know of a reputable online site that will obtain them for me quickly?

Vital Records in Sacramento takes longer than the time I have and I’m not in the county where the certificate was originally issued.

Thank you for any help.

Probably not even for a fee. Try the county clerk’s office where the death occured. If it is of public record, they might fax you a copy for a fee. If it is online, they will know.
