Our Mission
Locating the Lost: Uncovering the truth, honoring the missing, and supporting families in their search for justice.
A true crime podcast based in Maine, we talk to the families and investigators of the missing and unsolved cold cases in Maine, New England and around the world.
Meet the Voices Behind the Search
We are Travis Hartford and Jeff Atwood, the creators and hosts of Locating the Lost. We started this podcast because we believe that no story should ever truly go cold, and every family deserves a dedicated advocate in their corner.
Growing up in Maine, we've seen how easily stories can vanish into the wilderness or fade from the headlines. Through deep-dive interviews and raw, live conversations, we work to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the public. Our goal is to use this platform to amplify the voices of the missing and generate the critical tips needed to break these cases wide open.
"On this show, you aren't just a listener — you are a vital part of the search for the truth."
