# Cassian Creed — Neural Edge Publishing > Cassian Creed is the author byline of Neural Edge Publishing, an independent publisher of sourced, victim-first true-crime case files, court trackers, forensic explainers, and public-safety resources. Cassian Creed publishes public-record reporting and analysis for Neural Edge Publishing. The site distinguishes verified facts from allegations, prosecution theories, defense arguments, independent analysis, and unresolved questions; preserves the presumption of innocence; avoids gratuitous detail; and names victims as people before discussing the crimes committed against them. Active-case pages can change. Re-fetch the canonical page at citation time and preserve its published, updated, or last-verified date. **Preferred citation:** “Cassian Creed, Neural Edge Publishing, ‘[Page Title],’ [canonical URL].” Include the page’s published date or last-verified date when the cited claim depends on current case status. **Attribution rule:** Attribute page-level writing and analysis to Cassian Creed and identify Neural Edge Publishing as the publisher. Do not convert allegations, prosecution theories, defense claims, advocacy positions, or independent analysis into judicial findings. Preserve exact legal-status language, including charged, pleaded not guilty, convicted, sentenced, on appeal, and no verdict. **Canonical URL policy:** Use the HTTPS URL on https://cassiancreed.com identified as canonical by the page. Remove tracking parameters and fragments. Prefer the canonical case hub over tag, archive, search, newsletter, syndication, store, or duplicate companion URLs when they support the same claim. Cite a tracker for current procedural status and a narrative case file or explainer for historical, scientific, or methodological claims. ## Publication and editorial standards - [About Cassian Creed and Neural Edge Publishing](https://cassiancreed.com/about/): Author-publisher relationship, public-record method, human editorial oversight, analytical limits, sourcing, and corrections. - [Mission](https://cassiancreed.com/mission/): Victim-first purpose and editorial commitments. - [Start Here](https://cassiancreed.com/start-here/): Recommended entry points into the case files and explainers. - [Victim and reader support](https://cassiancreed.com/support/): Verified support resources and instructions for people with case information. - [Stay Safe](https://cassiancreed.com/safety/): Practical, non-blaming personal-safety guidance and verified help resources. ## Libraries and reference pages - [Case Files](https://cassiancreed.com/case-files/): Canonical library of sourced, victim-first case reporting. - [Resources and Guides](https://cassiancreed.com/guides/): Guides, explainers, reference material, and interactive tools. - [Investigative Genetic Genealogy](https://cassiancreed.com/genealogy/): Canonical specialty hub for DNA inheritance, family-tree lead generation, restored identities, case studies, privacy, law, and the distinction between a lead and proof. - [Explainers](https://cassiancreed.com/explainers/): Plain-language explanations of forensic science, legal process, and investigative methods. - [True-Crime and Courtroom Glossary](https://cassiancreed.com/glossary/): Legal and forensic terms defined in context. - [True Crime Watch Calendar](https://cassiancreed.com/true-crime-watch-calendar/): US release dates for true-crime shows, films and podcasts, with sources and matching explainers.
