In this episode, we sit down with Meaghan Good, founder of The Charley Project, a vital online resource dedicated to cataloging missing persons cases across the United States. Meaghan shares the mission behind the project, how it has grown into one of the most comprehensive archives of its kind, and the impact it has had on both families and investigators.
We explore several cases that have been solved in part because of the project’s work and discuss the wide range of organizations, from law enforcement to journalists and researchers, that depend on this information every day. Meaghan also reflects on the challenges of maintaining such an extensive database and why raising awareness around these stories continues to matter.
If you’re interested in true crime, missing persons investigations, or the power of grassroots efforts to make a national impact, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
