Charley Project lists a few newspapers as sources, and a national missing persons bulletin which doesn't have his name. It being listed makes me think it used to? Does anyone have access to the newspapers?

This is a pretty interesting development, I have grown up in this area and never was aware of this case. The family has been pushing really hard for some closure, so hopefully we are now one step closer to unraveling this web. The Arcadia police department has been working on this case again since 2018, so I have to imagine there have been some discoveries behind the scenes to prompt this search. I'll be watching closely.
