Site History

The Charley Project began as the Missing Persons Cold Case Network (MPCCN), which was founded in 2001 by Jennifer Marra. It was designed as a publicity vehicle for cold cases of missing people. (Jennifer Marra had also founded The Doe Network.) She resigned from the MPCCN and turned control in December 2003 over to Meaghan Good. Meaghan ran it until March 2004, when it was attacked by hackers and had to be taken offline. Meaghan founded The Charley Project in October 2004; it contains much of the content of the former MPCCN.
