      the animals could have take it but that’s what i am saying as well. Predators could take and rip through the bag. But i think the tides was to high so they probably should have left it.

      What makes sense is that Adrian murdered Garrett.. Garrett lived on the water and found floating in a lifejacket improperly fastened..not likely..where was Adrian's lifejacket? The Alaska state trooper said Hagan never made it back to the Abundance then who raised the anchor Adrian seen hanging off the front through the rifle scope.. ever try carving anything a gun stock with a hunting knife and why so much of a detailed message. Why would you only build a small fire if your stranded and collect wood for 2 or 3 days what was he buying time for? Why not a bonfire? How does one stand in freezing water for 3 1/2 hours in jeans skinning a bear..anyone see a carcass? How did the skiff and kayak tied together get separated ? Alaska shipwreck website listed the Abundance burned and sank in Behm canal.. btw this story says 300 lb of meat other stories say 600 to 700 lb ... Why did he stay within a mile? Why did the coast guard helicopter report they found Adrian wandering aimlessly in the woods .. why does Adrian always look down while talking about Garrett ? He is shaking his head no while talking about what happened because body language is telling you that is not as it happened..Adrian Knopps is a liar a murder and a thief and now his prayer is answered from jehova time to go to prison Adrian

      I don't understand why this wasn't further investigated by police. Aside from the fact that Garrett was aboriginal and in many such cases cops don't care.... I mean the story makes no sense.
      1) They said no foul play. But Garrett was found with his life vest on. How does a person drown with their life vest on?
      2) Garrett took all the meat, rather than leave some & take Knobbs which would make more sense as more hands to unload = faster, as he left.
      3) Garrett left his rifle with Knobbs. What hunter leaves his rifle in the remote wilderness? No one. He'd know if he ran into possible trouble (e.g. a bear) he may need it.
      4) Knobbs reasoned within an hour or so that Garrett was dead. Who thinks that way? Most would assume Garrett's tied up, maybe the boat got snagged, and he's delayed.
      More than likely Knobbs, been a sheltered city boy, experienced "cabin fever" and in an argument drowned Garrett. The life vest was on weirdly so it's very possible rigor mortis had set in when he was trying to get it on the body. Then realizing just what he'd done he shoved the boat + bear + body down the river.

      Also note 2 days after the Abundance was found adrift bi the wilderness adventure the 22nd of Sept it burned and sank in Behm canal on the 24 the Sept according to the Alaska shipwreck website.. my gut says it was Adrian's boys .. I'd like to contact Garrett's father and let him know my intention

    • @66redhorse1
      @66redhorse1 3 роки тому +3

      It makes perfect sense when your covering up a murder..if the ocean kayak was found on a beach how did it get separated from the skiff? If the skiff indeed capsized and sank the kayak would still be attached no? ASP said Hagan never made it back to the boat how did he see the big anchor hanging off the bow through his rifle scope 2-3 miles away? Who pulled the anchor?

  • @spurredoutdoors8048
    @spurredoutdoors8048 3 роки тому +38

    This guys story isn’t lining up. The first thing that’s off is why he took the guns and survival gear to lessen the weight. A bear hide is way heavier than all that. Why not take some of the meat and hide with you on land and come back for the rest? The memorial for his friend the first night? 99% of people who don’t see someone die assume that they are alive in these conditions. He seems to fake being upset but really on a calm day who drowns. Even in an overloaded boat I’ve fallen into much worse without a life preserver and survived in the middle of winter. They should investigate this again. Also knowing he was dead after an hour…nope that’s not right.

    To let the people know if you watch Coast Guard Alaska they have an episode as to what happened to the young man and how they rescued Adrian. As the Coast Guard Alaska looked for the skiff and the blue kayak it was overturned and Garrett was nowhere in sight. Adrian, Garretts father, and mother went back to the place where Adrian was found and said their goodbyes and knew that Garrett was where he loved to be. The father did get his sons gun back with and inscription as a remebrance. R.I.P. Garrett for you loved the outdoors so much and God took you home. Watch the next episode it will give you all more insight.

      He kept the guns because he was staying behind on land occupied by bears and wolves whereas his friend was on a boat that was heavy with bear meat so wouldn't want or need the pointless extra weight. They both knew that he was relying on his friend coming back to get him because that was his only way of getting back to the boat and safety. So that urgent need to be picked up quickly means that his friend not coming back straight away indicated that something bad must have happened to him. Not sure what you mean about the river.

      Hunting is a necessity of life in AK especially fishing. But, even in the lower 48 it's a way to put food on the table. Hunting is the primary way of keeping all forms of wildlife healthy and abundant in their natural environment. Please do some research on hunting before you blame these hunters for their "awful" decision making. Predator and prey in nature can be cruel, but it's a fight for survival in the animal kingdom. Most human hunters are law abiding ethical hunters, but there will always be some who give hunting a bad wrap. Please don't look at these two guys with a negative attitude. Most bear hunters want the trophy and nothing more. These guys claimed the meat. They weren't hunting for just the trophy, but even if they were it would be legal. Do some research please as I think you'll be surprised at what you will learn.

    I will NEVER make an ex parte conclusion on anything before every conceivable question I have is prepared, answered and cross checked. That said, my 30th year in homicide and a lifetime in the New England woods, tell me that this unfortunate event, as it’s explained, doesn’t hit my ear quite right. What really pulled the fire alarm is that the anomalies are seated in the FBI’s worst possible suggestive categories for violent crime: practicality, logic and decision-making.
    Once again, this implies absolutely nothing beyond my reaction. I’m sure that all pertinent questions were asked by competent professionals and all respective responses were examined fully. My comment is about me and my unexpected gut reaction. That reaction is nothing more than what happens when a dozing dog hears another dog barking on the TV. It startled me. I’m glad it takes tangible evidence to prove guilt because tragedies that sound like this DO actually happen sometimes and can easily put blinders on an investigator, making them oblivious to the truth as they pass it by.

You never ever know what you’d actually do in this situation. I’m just glad at least someone made it out instead of them both dying (which he was close to).

    First of all you don't use a kayak loaded down with meat and tow it behind a small skiff. Down a river with a swift current it's too unstable .
    The kayak got swamped and caused. The skiff to be pulled sideways and capsize can almost guarantee that .
    Chickamin river is not that far from k town.
    What they should've done was leave k town in a 20 ft Wooldridge Alaskan XL riverboat and jet boat up the chickamin river on that .
    They made a rookie mistake in common sense using two small boats to get up and down that river.
    A 20 ft Wooldridge will carry 5000 lbs of weight no problem and could carry both men and meat and gear easily up and down that river fully loaded jet can go in about 5 to 6 inches of water .

    Why not leave some of the bear meat for the wolves. Also to lighten the load.

      There's no way there was only 300 pounds of meat on that bear, so I'm willing to bet they'd already left a lot for the other predators to enjoy. They were doing what respectful and responsible hunters do, which is to make use of as much of the animal as possible.

    You can tell by the way he explained what happened to his friend, he knows what happened to his friend he is just not saying nothing, he sounds way to unconcerned and relaxed fake acting of emotions, he turned this whole episode into him being a survival hero when in fact this episode should be about what happened to his friend.

      Look at some stories he told on live radio shows in Michigan and Wisconsin then read some of the other articles one says he was found in a cabin another clinging to a tree roots the coast guard reported he was wandering aimlessly in the woods..said he built a fire under the trees to dry off why not a bonfire out in the open and put anything on it to make smoke..anyone who has spent their life in when woods as he states should know where to look for dry kindling to build a fire..said he was scared of wolves and bears..he had 2 hunting rifles..and last why carve such long messages on hunting rifles sounds like someone with a lot of time on their hands besides doing 2 in a day who is he geppetto?

    I guess it brings him comfort knowing his friend died rather than running off with his boat and leaving him to die.

    At first I thought people in the comments were overreacting but then I watched it and heard his story. I don't know that I've heard a more suspicious story. He jumped to the immediately conclusion that his friend is dead? He held a memorial? I know people react differently in times of stress but jeez, come on.... I think whether it was an accident or intentional, he may have killed his hunting partner and covered it up as best he could. Super sus.
