CASE DETAILS
Friday, November 30, was Olson's day off from work. He played golf and then went to a rental agency trying to find a permanent place to live. At 6:00 p.m., he went to the dog track with coworkers, a mile from his hotel, to watch some races. It is known he placed some bets but it isn't clear how much he won or lost.
Olson and his friends went to a bar after the track closed and watched a boxing match on television there, then went to two other bars, staying until closing time at 4:00 a.m. on December 1. His friends stated he didn't drink very much. At 5:00 a.m., Olson dropped one of his friends off and said, "I'll see you at work in the morning," then drove away, presumably back to his hotel. He has never been heard from again.
When Olson missed work later that Saturday, his friends called his hotel and got no answer. They drove to the hotel that night and his car, a maroon 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix, wasn't there. Sunday morning they spoke to the hotel desk clerk, who confirmed he hadn't checked out. The clerk thought Olson might have decided to leave without settling his bill, and called the police. The next day, Monday, Olson's boss called his parents and told them Olson was missing.
Olson was apparently happy with how things were going in Florida and his parents didn't believe he would have walked out of his life, especially without taking his clothes or other belongings with him.
Because he had just cashed his paycheck and a $700 check his parents sent him, he may have been carrying up to a few thousand dollars when he disappeared. He wasn't involved with drugs and his family stated even if he had gotten in trouble, such as by gambling away all his money at the dog track, he wouldn't have been afraid to come home and ask them for help.
Olson's family theorizes he was murdered, either because he accidentally witnessed criminal activity, or because thieves wanted to steal his new car and the cash he had on him. The Grand Prix has never been recovered and there has been no sign of Olson since 1979.

Your channel's intro is the only one I don't fast forward through and I only wish it gets longer and longer as you bring more loved ones home. Thank you for all you do, truly modern day heroes!
Yes me too
Same here ❤
And I still tear up for Tammy Goff because it’s true, we don’t deserve our pups
I became a volunteer search and rescue diver because my father and grandfather lost their lives on Lake Erie. There are many large man made lakes, rivers, ponds and of course Lake Erie which is far more dangerous than people realize.
I have the utmost respect for you and the work you do .
Lake Erie is the most DANGEROUS of the 5 lakes!
I am so addicted to watching AWP updates!! Everyone of you on the team deserves credit for doing a fabulous job. Keep up the good work. 😎
Hey Doug, if you ever read this comment my family thanks you and the team for your hard work. You’re an amazing person and so humble and understanding. We love you brother.
Doug is awesome. He does not make the show all about him. He's a true and dedicated man and all about the job at hand. No grandstanding here. Thank you for your passion and respect for all.
Doug, your commentary is flawless and so easy to follow. You are incredible and Carson you are so supporting and great.
West Palm Beach Police don't mess around! Good job securing and removing those vehicles out of the water and solving those stolen car cases so quickly.
Great job Doug & the team. Major respect to WPB police for working alongside you. Also grateful to the department caring about the local environment as well.
Thank you for making the water cleaner and hopefully, solve a few cold cases. You are awesome !
Have always had a soft spot for your purpose since I found you all about a year ago. I pray over every case. Being a mom of one and soon to be grandma, my heart goes out to the families. I just found out one of my dear friend’s grandson, 17 yrs old, quit his job and walked away Wednesday at 1 pm and has not been seen or heard from. Please know this 72 yr old handicapped widowed woman lifts you up to the Lord for the work you are doing. God bless. You guys and a few of your other guys are the only groups I donate to. I’m on a very limited income but what you are doing is that important to me.💕
Sending healing thoughts and prayers your way. I hope he is found safely!
Thanks for the moral support, it's worth it 👌 👍

Doug, as always being a true professional. I wanted to say though that the editing team needs to get some love. The editing and production value of your segments is really top notch. I have been a long time watcher, and I have seen how the channel has improved over the years, and content like this in quality is the reason I watch UA-cam. Stay safe guys, and thank you so very much for what you do. You are truly public servants and in my opinion as a veteran, every day heroes.
Totally agree with you 👍 💯 👏
I totally agree! The videos are top quality! Great job team!
Awww, not that it matters...
But I love your comment. Thank you sir for your service...God bless you 🙏💞🙏
Tty you gotta be happy ooo Are you sleeping again
I agree.
Since watching AWP for the first time it made me think about my life and what I was doing in my life and because of you guys I've started doing things like walking for charity posting on social media people who are missing in Ireland and trying to make others aware that there are lots of people missing and some are missing in their cars I really want to thank you guys for making me look into my life and now I'm trying to make a difference you guys are fantastic and many families are healing because you have given them closer keep up the great work you are doing love from Dublin Ireland 💙💙☘️🍀☘️☘️☘️
I sure loved Ireland. You got this… ❤
I am loving the videography and editing on these videos. It’s all getting so good! Can I make a request/ suggestion? Could you tell us what date it is that you are actually filming? I know there is a bit of a back log on when the diving took place and when the video gets edited, so it would be nice to know when the actual dive was. Thank you for all of your work and all the traveling and squishing into the RV you do!
Yes please 🙏
Yes please especially if you are multi watching and trying to work out sequence of the ones UA-cam shows :)
Agreed dates would be great
This is one case that a magnetometer would definitely be useful! I just donated again! Excellent and model law enforcement officers! Great respect between them and AWP! The more agencies you interact with will see how professional, trustworthy, honest, and willing you are to work with and cooperate with them. I’m always impressed at the amount of research put into these cases and how it is presented. Doug is an extraordinary and authoritative storyteller. He really draws you into the case with rich detail and inflection in his voice. I’m listening with my earbuds at work and can see everything that he describes it so clearly! Optimism drives Doug! The iguana and birds are leading you and thanking you for cleaning up their habitat! I’m sure the entire community is thanking you! I know I am! Buy one of the new beanies! Jared, we miss you, but thank you for recruiting Doug and letting him take the reins for a little while to learn the ropes and showcase his talents! He’s doing great as you finish out the second trailer and get some time off!
Couldn’t have worded this any better!!!
How did you donate to the channel? I will help but I need to know how are you guys sending them money 🤔
This comment made me cry before I even got started watching the video, it's why I'm subbed to these guys!💞🙏
@@ROSE0704 Thank you. That means a lot, but these guys are the real angels!
@@BarbieSasquatch I didn’t mean to make you cry! I cry from all the videos!
I started watching before the first cold case recovery and remember it was a shock and awe feeling simultaneously.
I just feel the need to say, the public is beyond grateful 🙏 for all of the hard work you all put in! Thank You!!!!!
Your entire team is amazing. Jared and Doug on camera, so professional and compassionate to the loved ones. Everyone behind the scenes is awesome. Each episode is edited and produced so well. You’re doing great things. Stay safe. And thank you.
It never gets old seeing competent and professional police officers/departments on here who clearly demonstrate that they're invested in the communities they serve and who take their role seriously. These guys had their sh*t together (like many others you've featured on here, not trying to diminish any of the other ones)! As a viewer it's just always a question I have at the beginning of these videos what kind of response/treatment you guys are going to get from the local authorities once they're required to get involved or take action. And as always, another amazing job by AWP and I hope someone is willing to come forward with any kind of useful info that could lead to finding Mr. Olson. Looking forward to the next one!
It really doesn't get old. In a way, though, it's sad that competent, professional LE is still the exception and not the rule. But I remain hopeful!
I think our regular viewers here do clearly remember that earlier video. That is the point of documentary filming 🎥. The truth doesn't lie!
It is nice to see the police cooperation, in the past some police agencies got quite nasty and ignorant.
This happened in my neck of the woods -Palm Beach county. How amazing to see this recovery. Bravo to your work 💚
I live in westpalm and been in those waters
@@curtispaul9448 Eerie to now know what was in those waters!
They shud check palm bch canal
OMG! Doug, you're the John Walsh of AWP!! You're so good at what you do.....
I love the detail of narration you do, you guys at AWP are wonderful, and so respectful with law enforcement
Not seeing much of Jared these days. Is he doing ok? Thank you for all you are doing!! You have helped so many people!
He's training another team so they can search for more people. I believe Josh Cantu has all the behind the scenes footage.
@@aznmochibunny that is so awesome!!!
I've been a fan/supporter/viewer since the first few cases were posted and I was overcome with emotion and gratitude for Adventures with Purpose and everything they do! They have taught me skills and provided me knowledge about the water and vehicles. Just amazing.
Doug, I love how you break it down in the beginning. You really bring us into the heart of these searches so it’s like we’re there with y’all! Thank you.
You are dedication. You are selflessness. You are hope. AWP, you are heroes.
Excellent recoveries, fantastic law enforcement, great teamwork..well done xx
It’s great to see authorities work with you and respect the work that you do. God bless.
It is truly eerie how many vehicles & potential mysteries/secrets lie beneath bodies of water.
You guys are amazing. 👏
Wow, imagine getting a call from the police stating they found your car that was stolen 20 years ago. Glad they got them out of the water and good luck continuing your search! 🙏
Maybe they go to that effort or write or fund a previous owner. If claimed on insurance then it's possibly too late to have any impact except mental closure on its final resting place.
Great video guys! Props to whoever edits these- that transition from fast paced music until Doug dives underwater and it’s quiet- wow! Keep them coming and good luck in search for Kiely too
Doug you are fantastic at presenting, you’ve really come out of your shell. I’ve enjoyed this episode so much, thank you from 🇬🇧
The production team. You guys do a great job. The filming, editing, everything. This should be. On Netflix or even t.v.... great quality for UA-cam and volunteers. Bravo. This is by far a channel I am addicted too...
I am so proud of your whole crew. you are a blessing to everyone and the environment
Ty for listening to plea .. and ultimately finding kiely.. it just felt in every way she had gone under. God rest.
Bless you trying to bring closure for Michael's family. I hope you can find his car. I can't imagine not knowing what happened to a son gone missing without a trace, no closure, no answers all those years. Heart wrenching.
We have bought hats and shirts which will be worn proudly. Thank you again for all that you do to help the environment and bring closure to families of the missing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great work as always. Proud to support the effort!
Every friday, after coming home from work, I get to look forward to a new AwP video. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for helping these families find their love ones.
Your doing a terrific job Doug. I'm sure Jarrod is very proud of you 👏 💙. Keep up the good work.
I just heard on the news your here helping in California! You guys are truly amazing and i hope we can bring her home in any way. Thank you for all you do know that people here are very appreciative that you came. ❤🙏 be safe and thank you again for what you do
Idk if you all have heard this today but , I just love you guys ❤️ thank you for caring so much to do the work no one's ever done. May your beautiful souls be protected while your out there working for the maker .
You lot are absolute credit to humanity.
Just another great video from you guys! Doug has really turned out to be such a natural going out with the really top-notch camera and technical backup guys, make sure they get some love too. Keep up the great work while doing such a needed purpose!
Be safe guys, and I wish you the best, and thank you for what you do, brining loved ones home to their families.
Line up with that iguana 😂
Tell me you're in Florida without telling me you're in Florida
😂👍
Blows my mind how fast this channel for to 2.4M…. I remember when you were at 300k when I subbed. Thank you for all the entertainment the last 18 months 💜
@@mandycote5662 not everything they do revolves around heartbreak. A lot of the first videos were finding different things inside bodies of water. And yea, even though the stories of missing people are very sad, they still make it entertaining for us to watch.
Doug your work is amazingly professional and your heart is filled with love for the deceased and especially for their families and friends. You reach all the way to Denmark, where I sit and am full of admiration for your great work.
GODSPEED FOR YOU ALL. Your unselfish work that you offer for families of missing love ones and the care for the environment is unprecedented.
You guys are the Rock STARS.
Thanks for all you do.
Wow this is the clearest underwater video you’ve ever posted👍🏼 great job on your work guys!❤️
Thank you AWP for finding keily Rodni I've been with you for a long time now and the respectful way you recover cars with people who are missing is beyond what I can say your amazing in giving people closure with lost love ones ❤️
This team really deserves a TV show.
AWP have said they refuse to do a tv show for many reasons.
@@aznmochibunny I suppose that makes sense. But man, would it do well on like Discovery or something.
The Police department here really get a 👍👏👌!! They did not hesitate to get those vehicles out and were actually pleasant to watch. So many episodes that has not been the case. GREAT job guys!! As always Doug, YOU are the MAN!! Love Love Love Carson and what he brings ❤️ Thanks for an amazing episode..
Thank you for all you do!
Such wonderful cooperation with West Palm Beach officers. Excellent work Doug, Carson and crew.
So proud of what you guys do. Stay safe always.
Where did you find Jared's closer? Love that!
You are a warm-hearted and helpful team, I wish you all the best and hope you will always be there to help the relatives. Best regards from Greenland. 🙏❤🌷
Thanks for just getting those cars out of the water ways. It's the little things like that that I enjoy seeing. True I enjoy watching the videos of the recoveries but more than that watching you guys clean up the environment is why I started watching AWP.
Omg you all are awesome i just saw that you found the girl from CA!
I was thinking of you guys this entire time since I heard about the Kiely Rodni case I just had a feeling the best team on the planet would come in and do what 20,000 hours of searching couldn’t do and find this girl. You guys are amazing and deserve all the praise in the world for what your doing we need more people out there like you guys it’s what gives me hope for the future. Much respect to all of you and thanks for doing what you do.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You guys are awesome. Where is Jared?
@@InSearchofTruththruJesusChrist thank you for replying to me. Just makes me love your channel more ❤️
What you guys do is important but hearing about what you’ve done this week and being brought in on non-cold cases is even better. What can I do to be a part of this?

Great job Doug. I enjoy watching AWP. Always interesting. You always give it your all.
P.S. where's Jared? I sure hope he's okay.
This has been a great collaboration between AWP and law enforcement!
Doug, I know you get this often, but you're a rare man. As a veteran I've seen more then my share of the ugly this world has to offer..you and your team restores my faith in humanity. Prayers for you and your team. From one to another, thank you for what you do. Be safe out there brother.
Since I watched your program a few years ago, I totally respect what you and your crew do. I'm a subbie, can't miss one of your episodes. Bless you.

Great work Doug Carson and Dillon
I love how the local Police were so respectful of AWP. AwP is always so respectful to everyone, Your some of our hero's! We have many! ❤️❤️🙏🙏👍🇺🇲
Hey,Doug you and all the teams are doing amazing things.We didn,t bring one home today,keep the faith and dive safe.
The precision from you and your team is impeccable 🙏 You are all impressive and the equipment is truly amazing 🙏 It is wonderful when the local Officers are helpful 🙏

Hello
I'm doing well. How are you?
Doug you are so professional and respectful love watching your vids x
You guys are the best! I pray for you all. I was injured in a bad wreck and I have a very low income. I support all of you for a hedge of protection surround you all! 🙏 👏🏻
Thank you to all who support this group…Prayers For Safe Journeys and search recovery investigation teams🙏🏻🔦And Prayers for the families 🙏🏻🕊🕯🪶Rest In Peace to those who have passed
I agree with everything others have said, you do a great job and it’s good that the law enforcement agencies are working with you, it’s a far cry from the bad old days when it used to be almost a demarcation dispute, - not that it happened very often, but when it did it painted Law Enforcement in a very bad light.
I have to say I miss Jared these days, and when he is there we don’t see him dive much anymore. I hope he’s well and just taking a break. I’ve watched your series for a long time and I hope to continue for a long time to come. 🇦🇺
See other comments, Jared at home building out the 2 new trailers
I'm a new subscriber and I'm thankful for what you guys do stay safe out there
You guys do a great job brings peace too the family's. THANK YOU
Mike King is amazing and has a heart of gold! So glad you guys work with him. I saw his part first today.
Just saw a great news story on NBC News Now about AWP joining the Kiely Rodni search. Best of luck and stay safe, I hope you can help her family & the authorities find some answers.
Love what you guys are doing. It's clear you all wear your hearts on your sleaves for the world to see. Keep up the good work
Doug and all the LE divers work together like clock work. You are all amazing!👏
I'm amazed with the work that you do!
Be safe in your travels & Praying you all bring them home. God Bless each of you & the family.
Thanks!
God bless your efforts and keep you all safe.
Great job Doug and crew. A shout out to West Palm Beach PD for there positive involvement.
Such wonderful work you do. Thank you and keep up the good work. 1
I'm pleasantly surprised. That this police department. Is looking out for the environment. As well as not ruling anything out. From the get go. As to why these cars are down there? Now that's what I call. A well run police department/county. AWP always doing their best. To make the process. A united effort by all. Well done! To the police department/AWP. I am sadden. By Michael's disappearance. Hope answers come to light someday. He was so young. 👍👍👏👏👮♀️👮♂️🚙
Prayers 🙏 going up for Michael, and those who love him, I really hope he is found safe and sound somewhere just "trying to find himself."
Doug did a professional job in relaying the story along with looking for Michael.
Amazing work… thank you for what you do
Love what all your teams do. Amazing
