Notes: This total homicide estimate differs from the counts found in the FBI's Uniform Crime Report and Supplementary Homicide Report. Those two reports are based upon incomplete data provided by local police departments. The homicide totals and clearance rates presented here are estimated by the FBI, based upon the incomplete reporting. The FBI provides this definition of when homicides are considered to be cleared: "Law enforcement agencies clear or solve an offense when at least one person is arrested, charged with the commission of the offense, and turned over to the court for prosecution. Law enforcement agencies may also clear a crime by exceptional means such as when an identified offender is killed during apprehension or commits suicide."

It’s inspired by a Tiffany key ring from 1969, this celebrated collection bears a hallmark that reminds one that there’s no place like Tiffany. Mini double heart tag pendant in sterling silver and 18k rose gold.
