Our freedom of information laws and public access are practically transparent compared with, say, those of the UK or Australia. Plus, we aren’t limited to official federal, state, county, and city databases; all the information that is released through those channels and the press allows for Doe Network to exist. It also fuels other essential Doe research sites, like Charley Project, the most comprehensive citizen-run database for cold cases, and Unidentified Wiki, an online encyclopedia of unidentified decedents. In Doe cases, this web of volunteer websites is vital for research.
