Why did I have to grow up? I went to my class reunion a few years back and everyone asked me what I was doing for a living. Most thought that I was lying (I always had issues with authority-still do).
but what's the best way to find out about unsolved homicides that happened in 1976 or 1977? I tried calling a detective for the area in question and he said he could do a search but couldn't release any information.
Depends on the state laws and all about what you can do. I can tell you this: anything that is logged (like 9-1-1 calls) are public domain. They are legally supposed to release them to you if you request it (though a few facts can be blacked out, ie info on minors). If it is a family member and the pd refuses to give you any info I would contact a local politician and plead your case to them. Or the local media. Most departments don't care for community involvement-especially on a homicide case that is many years old.
