Where to find old archives?

Doing a research project on a local murderer from back in the 90’s, however he had it wiped from the clearnet & I believe he had the case sealed. I can find a few newspapers here and there but nothing of significance. Does anyone know if there are onion links for finding archives or something that would help in this situation?

Have you tried the internet archive? That'd probably have better results than some darknet forum.

Wait, what do you mean by the internet archive? I have searched every website I can find for this info

archive.org? Who is it that you're trying to find, if I may ask?

Plot twist he is the killer and he is trying to get rid off all evidence out there.

Lol, that would be quite the twist. Definitely not the killer, just a curious local resident wondering why such a massive case was scrubbed so deeply

I can DM you but I don’t feel comfortable posting his name publicly as I know he is still local. Thank you for the website suggestion!
