Charley Project Info:

Barnard was last seen in Boise, Idaho on December 4, 2004. He dropped his son off at 7:00 p.m. He was planning to see the child again the next morning, but never arrived, which is uncharacteristic of him. Barnard's last cellular phone call was at 7:15 p.m. on the day of his disappearance. His car was later found parked in his driveway. He has never been heard from again. He may be driving a green Land Rover sport utility vehicle (SUV) with temporary Idaho license plates.

Barnard is a gun dealer and may frequent gun shows. He also has worked as a disc jockey in strip clubs and has been known to carry weapons. He had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for battery in Ada County, Idaho at the time of his disappearance, but police are not sure whether his disappearance has anything to do with it.

Prior to his disappearance, Barnard was fighting for custody of his son and had a falling out with his business partner. There is no evidence of foul play in his case, but due to his lifestyle, his disappearance is considered suspicious. Barnard's family stated he is a dedicated father who would not have willingly abandoned his children. He also left behind his dog and cat without making arrangements for their welfare, which his loved ones stated is uncharacteristic of him. His case remains unsolved.
