The amount of people found in water terrifies me and breaks my heart. Like how many lakes, rivers, etc have I driven by and taken photos of and there was someone just waiting to be found in the water
After serving 25 yrs doing search and rescue, body recovery is so important for putting closure for the love ones. I hope you continue doing this service. great job.
I like how respectful they are. They just want to help. Asking for permission to go on property and respectful to the families. Keep up the good work boys.
They are respectful your not wrong and they are also really good people that the world needs more of and in every country, but if they do not ask permission its call trespassing and if the owners there they can shoot them or start and case on them or they could even go to jail they have to ask they ask for the safety of them and to make sher they have themselves legally ok like nothing can turn on them. In any cercomstacs you should ask anyways but yea happy new year.
I'm pleasantly shocked the police and land owner were open to having the land searched again. Sadly, I'm also shocked the reward was "expired". Shameful.
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. That’s awful. These guys go above and beyond, if that was my son found; better believe these two men would be walking away with some sort of gratuity in the form of money. They don’t make em like these guys and the second you take them for granted is the day they’ll be gone and everyone’s left with answers
That is a huge lack of integrity on the part of the "donors" to claim the reward has expired after Ethan was found even though the reward was renewed in 2020. If a reward is going to be offered it needs to be paid out when the person is found.
Other agencies just can’t take it can they. Instead of being so appreciative, they feel threatened. It’s unbelievable. You guys are so classy and respectful. As always, great job. 🖤
I can believe how buthurt and childish they were … it had nothing to do with protocol or investigation- this behaviour was solely ego driven - also I bet you the owner of the land was about to pull some sh*** if they hadn’t already discovered the car right then & there.
You were treated appallingly by these buffoons! How could they have missed the car in previous searches in 8ft of water, it should have been obvious and they also dived in the lake. As for the reward I don't know what the conditions were but crazy to dangle a $100k carrot with no intention of paying out.
@@4legs4paws55 the car is evidence, and it could be a crime scene... no one really knows what has happened... if something goes wrong and it is the fault of a civilian that civilian could be arrested for disturbing a crime scene.... it is the law. Also.. as the officer said, they rather not have to subpoena them in case of foul play and they'd have to testify in court. At the moment there's a crime scene, the police is responsible of it.. if they let a civilian without any legal qualification handle it, they will be liable for anything... Also... it would be grounds for any dismissal of evidence as the state can not without a doubt say that the evidence has been tampered with... It's all pretty logical imo
Wow. My sister just sent me this video. Ethan is our second cousin (our grandma’s, brothers’s grandson). Thank you for helping solve this. My sister said she had continuously checked over the years for an answer but then this video randomly popped up for her today on a site she follows. It’s definitely a sad day but definitely good for his family to have some closure. Thank you for making this video tastefully and thank you for your help!
im sorry for your family lost may his soul rest in piece this scuba diver man has solve any missing people and found it underwater im so proud at the scuba diver man i dream to be like him at future helping people to solve there missing family keep it up scuba diver man one day i will be like you 🙂
Kudos to the sheriff. Excellent example of a public servant. He had no issue acknowledging they had searched there but missed it. That’s a hard own, but he owned it and didn’t try to make excuses. Very professional.
@@emily.g.929 from what I read and herd he was upset these guys made the sheriff look like fools and liars...tbh they kinda are but regardless he had a heavy hand in the decision. Btw have you ever herd of a reward expiring 6 months later for a missing person?
Today is the nine year anniversary of my husband’s drowning while ice fishing took eight long days to find him. Bless you for the work you do , giving this family closure.
Oh no Leanne. So sorry to hear about your husband. Heartbreaking for families waiting for answers. I'm glad they were able to find him in such short time.
After what I went through with my brother and having to hire a team to find his body in the river because our cops wouldn't, I appreciate what you guys do more then you'll ever know.
I'm so sorry you had to go through the loss of your brother and for law enforcement for not helping. I hope you are doing better nowadays and I am glad you got to find your brother.❤
The reward for finding this young man should be given to these guys. The look on that man's face when he discovered the car on his screen. Broke my heart.
Thanks! I realize my donation seems small but times are hard for most, and I myself is no exception. I am blessed to be able to follow this group and to be able to see these heart wreching videos. This video is a very touching one, to see Jared and Sam choke up on finding Ethan after all this time. Even though he may have felt he needed to end things there, I am sure that he hoped that someone would find him so his parents can bring him home and lay him to rest. It may be of comfort that they have found the body that once held his soul and can now let his soul rest peacefully. However, the way that they dismissed AWP as if they aren't welcome anymore, and that the team of people that should have found him just as easily as Jared and Sam has, now want to swoop in and take the credit for the find and recovery I feel these two men deserve to be apart of bringing Ethan out of that cold water so his family can now have some closure, and for these two guys to know that he is recovered in a manner that is dignified and respected.
Hey, if you have 100$, that's 2% of your total money you have. If someone with 1 million gave 2%, that's 20k They have *millions* of views just on this video. If even half gave what you did it would be life changing!
The look on your faces when you realize you may have found the car. It says it all. The respect you guys have for the the families and the people you recover is so evident.
Almost 33 years ago we found a car at the beach access at a local lake. We reported it to the police and waited for their arrival to be able to give them the location of the car. The car belonged to a soldier who had been missing for a couple of years and his body was recovered in the car. Foul play was suspected but that case was never solved. I’m just glad the family received some sort of closure. Prayers for Ethans family.
Broke my heart seeing the two lads tear up in the boat. And the "love you bro" through the knot in his throat... I'm sure doing this makes you love and appreciate your friends and family even more.
i really liked the 'mood' in this video! the sunny weather, the cooperative sheriff, your demeanor, the music - it was so uplifting. it culminated in a overall sense of relief and quiet gladness that this case was solved and the family could finally have ethan back. i'd take that over suspence and horror anytime. well done!!
I can see how much Jarred’s Heart is in it ! To walk off into Freezing Cold water to search for some one he doesn’t know. Wow that makes him truly one of a kind. Thank You to all of the crew helping make this possible
Kit3000. When Rewards are made Available, why are the dive teams never awarded it. Unless of course it came directly from the family. I'm sure if it was raised via a Go Fund Me account, the people who donated wouldn't mind if it paid toward another boat, sonar system and the likes to AWP so they could cover more areas to search. Only a suggestion folks. Worth considering??? 🏴 Betty from Scotland 🏴
I think it's just a misconception from all the movies with the police captain who's arrogant and egoistic. I don't think that's what happens in real life. Atleast most of them anyway.
I love what you’re doing, cleaning the environment and in the process, finding individuals who were missing for years. Keep it up. We need people like you!
I see this video has hit the youtube algorithm so ill give you guys this: If you ever find yourself in a similar situation do this. Don't panic, the car will float for a minute or two, first remove your seatbelt, then try to open the window, if the window does not open get any sharp item (you can remove your headrest) and break the window, if there are no sharp objects you can use you can break the window with your elbow. If you can't break the window wait for the car to fully fill up with water, take a deep breath right before the car fully fills up, now the pressure inside the car is the same as outside and you can open your door after which you can swim to the surface safely.
Yes, good instructions. However, hitting the water in your car is like hitting a wall, and the chances you will be conscious to do these lifesaving manuvers, are slim to none.
@@faithm9284 That's absolutely false unless your the personal driver of the president. I've done it twice, once by myself in a river and once for a drunk friend in a lake.
So thankful to the landowner giving you permission. I've got tears running down my face. I'm sure the family will be happy and sad for knowing you found him.
I'm very grateful for that to as a catholic church cemetery pond they wouldn't give permission too or a rock quarry places clear water in Wisconsin it's where divers go a big rock quarry in black river falls
I don’t understand why they kept saying a license plate ended in 387, when it was obviously 382. And then they told the cop on the phone that they had a license plate match? And _THEN_ when talking to the cop in person, he said it ended in 357! The cop said “that’s correct.” Huh?? The plate is clear as day 382! Just weird!
He shows emotion for a man hes never met and cries after he realizes hes found a missing person, that speaks volumes about him. Thanks for the attention!!
@@terryglover6442 Im just saying some people can be manipulative like that. Im especially worried because he asks for donations. People tugging at your heart strings one minute and then asking for money the next send up red flags for me.
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 he couldn't travel the country bringing closure to countless families without help from his viewers, he also makes it clear that if it wasn't for his viewers he wouldn't be in the spot hes at now
@@terryglover6442 so what you are saying is he has incentive to act the way he does. Im not outright accusing him of anything, but dont be gullible or naive either. There seems to be a common theme in all his videos. Money is involved somehow. This feels like treasure hunters posing as humanitarians
Just a minor observation. I get confused with the licence plate, the Missing Persons Poster at 1:04 indicates it would read AUZ 382. That's what I read at 11:40 under water as well. Nevertheless everyone refers to it as AUZ 387 numerous times. In a serious matter like this I am surprised nobody ever raised that mismatch during the process.
Props to you guys for pointing out that it wasn't the fault of the local cops for not finding it when they searched the pond. Anyone who has worked with sonar knows luck is just as important as skill.
@@lizlizzylizard If you are ever involved in a crime scene in any way you'd know that people have a tendency to not listen and to potentially completely fuck up an investigation. One mistake and, in the event it's homicide, you lose vital evidence or give the perp a chance to walk. Its a given that they want to be sure no one messes with anything.
For the last 2 weeks I've been watching Adventures with Purpose videos, this one is by far the most touching video I've see. Never seen Jared get that emotional over a find. Congrats to all your crew for what you do, and what you do for the family's of the lost. Please don't stop what you do, you all are totally amazing.
This is a weird one, How did a car get into a dam so far away from a road. The car is undamaged and Ethan dissapeard in a mysterious way. Sad there is games going on with the $10000 reward. These guys deserve the reward because there is little or no income on UA-cam these days. I don't understand how they can afford to do these amazing body recoveries
@@queenof2kings299 I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks that. It just doesn’t make sense…even if he was trying to get out…why would he crawl into the backseat?
I’ve seen so many cars get pulled of out lakes with someone still in the drivers seat or the back seat trying to escape. wtf.. do people just fall asleep at the wheel while driving or something? And most of them are a missing persons case from 5+ years ago, idk man just weird how they go missing and unnoticed for so long, it’s also weird how you sink your whole car into a lake or pond and just sit there? or get stuck? i don’t get it. just imagine all the cars down there with people in them, i know there’s more then this, in all the lakes, eeeh i’m no longer swimming,
I was holding it together until Sam said "Love you bro". Other people might see that as an odd time to express such a thing, having just found the car like you did... but I get it. This means so much to you guys, and you're in it for the right reasons. This is a payoff for you two and your channel, but it obviously matters more that the family will get answers. Just... thank you guys for the work that you do. You've truly found your calling.
Jared has a big heart with no ego involved, AWP is completely in service to grieving families, the dignity of their loss & their process are his and Sam's top, TOP, priority.
As a professional in the criminal justice system (not a police officer), I always emphasize with my fellow investigative partners that there's no room for ego when you're trying to save or change lives. No need to be annoyed if you aren't "getting the glory" or breaking the case. The outcome is all that matters.
You guys have fast become my favourite channel to watch. Discovered you a few days ago and still binge watching all your videos. Keep up the great work!! Biggest respect from Perth, Australia.
Sadly some of the local authorities seem a little Salty they didn't find him, but Thank God you guys did! I imagine it can be tough dealing with some egos, its beautiful you guys remain cooperative and humble!
Salty is putting it mildly. The wages and benefits these public servants receive are no joke not to mention the catastrophic bereavement for the families who are FORCED to rely on their opinions and expertise(?). The minutes they throw salt the public will throw fire. Count on it.
This is so sad. Horrible for the young man's family that it took so many years to find him. These guys...Finding missing people as often as they do, wow, that's tough.
**NOTE** if your car ever goes into water.....pull the headrest off your seat it has two big steel rods. Swing them into the glass to break out a side or back window
@@praeliora Damn thats fucking crazy to think about!!!! Mayby he was drunk and the rest of his friends just abandon him in the car. I really think that he was not alone in the car.
@@salmanjamil5349 Plus the tip about the Google image was off... Someone commented that they had checked and the images available were taken a year before the car went down.. they also told them that they were searching the wrong pond...So that person must have known he was down there.
@@salmanjamil5349 I'm sure they see all of the comments, I agree it seems freaky, but there appears to be too many anomalies to be a straight up accident and no one knows what happened..
I was in highschool when Ethan went missing only about 30 minutes away from where I lived and looked very similar to him (or at least the pictures used in his missing person posters). I was consistently confused with him multiple times and approached by the police many times about it, including 1 time I forgot my ID and that was a whole mess. Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already, RIP Ethan.
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e maybe he can wear eyeglasses with a crazy frame shape or color to distract attention away from his real appearance. Some cousins dont know all of their distant cousins or half-brothers and sisters but they resemble each other and you meet strangers who can be upset with you.
I so love the episodes with these two. You can feel their emotions too. My heart goes out to the family and those involved with the recovery. This young man reminds me so much of my oldest son.
I love how you guys are willing to admit you might have missed something and return to locations again and again. This attitude is what makes you successful. Keep it up! Your will receive rewards that far outmeasure what is denied here. I call it God, some call it karma, whatever it is: you will be able to continue this work. May the angels surround you and protect each of your dives.
All i can say is that these guy's are absolutely amazing with everything they do, i want to thank them for helping these families have closure with their loved ones! Thank you guys ❤ sending love God bless you all 🙏
You can be one of them if you try? The problem with our society now days is people saying we need more like you or them instead of becoming what they say we need
If I knew what I do for a living your mouth would have never opened. What's wrong with people now days, is people opening the mouth with a smart remark before they know the whole story. Go f*** your self tbh
Yeah, this is only the third video with them I’ve seen, but I’m impressed not only with what they do, but also with their level of professionalism. As for the local dive team, and emergency management, I can see them wanting to run the show, even if more professional people are available, and even though it’s just a recovery, it’s an excellent chance for them to go through their protocol and do the job, which they might not do much, and in doing so maybe they might be able to act fast enough to actually save a life. God bless everyone involved in this recovery, but especially those from this channel who choose to go out, on their own, without any government backing, and help find loved ones so their friends and family can get some closure, give their loved one a proper burial and hopefully move on from this multi year nightmare of just not knowing where their loved one is, or if they are alive. It’s a terrible ending, but it’s far better than a never ending uncertainty over someone’s fate.
They are very respectful and professional in all they do. It’s the other five teams that sometimes get butt-hurt. When AOP gets disrespected it pisses me off. There is a human in that car that a family is missing, throw your ego to the side and get the job done.
They may not bash the previous search team. But I will. This county is full of trash cops especially the sheriff. And search team. Straight garbage. Somebody make these diver guys detectives and pay them double
sorry but nothing is free these days people needs to put food on the tables and a roof over there head thats not (free). but yea the other reward is seeing the family have closure
I cried when the sonar showed the car. I had no knowledge of the case, just so ecstatic that a young man would be honored and a family would get closure. You guys are phenomenal.
I'm grateful that they let them look ..the fact that it took 7 years for closure for this family was so sad,but I'm glad they can finally allow themselves to rest and to Ethan to rest in peace is such a wonderful thing ..I hope more people understand the need to work with the people around them offering help !!
I have been the Fire Chief of our department here in Florida and I have run into all kinds. Usually they are good but sometimes you run into the ones like AWP did a few months ago that think they are "all that" and treat people as being below them. A few times the companies and I have run into jerks and everyone has said lets just roll it up and head back to the house and let them figure it out themselves. Wanted to but never did when you get one like that you just do your job and get gone
Even tho I know hes deceased it makes me sad that he was in that car underwater in the cold and the dark all by hinself for years before being found. I know its irrational but its the way I feel.
I read that after this recovery, the offered $100K reward was not paid out. I know a bit about this topic, and can tell you that this happens more often than not when rewards are offered to solve a crime. They find loopholes/excuses not to pay, or simply refuse. It is sleazy and infuriating.
Or maybe they didn't want the reward I've seen some of the videos where the police officers and people like that are trying to give them money for their efforts when time they drove across country and they did all of it free of charge and they kept telling the police officer we don't want any money and they said well you're probably going to receive something and they didn't want it so maybe they got offered the money but they don't want it they do this out of the goodness of Their Own Heart and a part of Mercy donations and stuff to keep their company going or like a lot of people think maybe they didn't get offered the reward but honestly I don't think it would matter either way with them they weren't there for the reward money they were there to help a family find their loved one
This is shameful ,, what a way to fuck a person out of money , who really didn't start this bisness to ge6y rich , They care about bringing people home , giving the family peace of mind..
John may I ask. How did you come to have experience woth reqard money info ??? If I may ask were you screwed out of money after solving a cold case?? Did you know someone that this very exact scenario played out ????
I’m assuming the phone call to the family started with “we found Ethan” not “they found Ethan” great job documenting the credit you guys deserved on this one.
Of course bc they wanted to take credit for finding him bc they looked in the wrong place and didn’t bother to look over in this place or over looked it. I used to trust the police but after my daughter that trust is gone. Jared and his team found him bc they cared.
These guys deserve a reward or at least some kind of funding for what they do! They bring closure and answers to the families. These guys are absolutely incredible. RIP to all those lost and are yet to be found 💔
This was an amazing display of character. Neither you guys nor the sheriff had a whiff of ego and look how smoothly it went. The graciousness and respect was so refreshing to see, and doesn't add any more stress to an already tragic situation. It helps bring peace to it, actually and will prevent any undue stress to the family. Imagine, if you were pointing fingers or whatever, how much more horrible it would feel to the family? I hope LE keeps that in mind in these situations.
I have been watching y’all for a long while. And I get choked up and shed a few tears for every one you have found and their families. Thank you so very very much. Y’all are warriors of God to be able to do this. I am sure it is emotionally/mentally exhausting every time you find a missing person and at the same time relief that the family has resolution. I am sure you think of your family and your children and would not want them in that position. I know y’all been through so tough crap the last year or two and I never wavered from being your fan!!! The past is the past thats why it’s called past!! I am so glad you are still doing this and I am always grateful to get the notification for a new video and dive. Thank you all the whole team!!! Blessed Be and stay safe 💜💚🧡🖤🩵❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I cannot imagine Ethan's final moments, if his demise was accidental or purposeful, and the struggle he endured... bless the family and the community in their loss. Much appreciation to Jared, Sam, Dan, and all of the first responders involved in this search and recovery effort.
They definitely need funding they're not looking for payment. The other guy couldn't dive cause one of the oxygen hose on the other tank is broken. That makes me sad. keep up the good work guys.
@@littlecountryboys9432 ehhhh. You might think so, and you might be surprised. There is nothing at all about diving that is cheap. As is the case with just about anything, professional equipment is not cheap, and professional diving equipment is no exception, not to mention it’s a lot of equipment that divers use.
@@JohnD_x you dont need to get everything new, I got all my equipment for under 1k and cost me 250 to service everything Been diving over 20 years on a budget
@David Jacobson dude you are calling him a child, yet you're the one who is really ignorant.. do you have any idea how much youtubers make? Especially someone who gets over a million views within a week? Yes it will easily cover all of that and then some..
You guys should be so proud of what you’ve done and achieved here! You’ve allowed a young man to be laid to rest properly and gave his family the closure they so deserved and needed! Very emotional video indeed! 👏🤗
You guys are great. Always blows my mind how unappreciative a lot of these agencies are. Like you’re on their turf but clearly they aren’t doing anything. Of course the families are always grateful. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I don’t feel like y’all got credit where credit was due. I was looking on fb about posting on this missing young man, and I kept seeing, thanks to the police dept etc. I could not be the parents out there and not come to y’all and tell y’all how much I appreciate what y’all done in finding my son. This breaks my heart. I hope they have since reached out to y’all and thanked y’all for bringing closer to their lives. Y’all are amazing ppl and I want to thank y’all for being who y’all are and what y’all do. God bless each of you.
I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID 100%.....THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT REWARD.....REGARDLESS.....THE TIME HAD EXPIRED.....WHERE THE POLICE STILL GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM???? I SURE HOPE SO.....
The parents of this young man made a donation to them for helping bring hom there son. What do you want them too do? They said thank you in there own way leave it at that. They lost there son 7yrs ago and everyday from that day will have been horrible for them. Then to be in that field when they were pulling the car out and waiting to here if there were a body inside or not? And then having to wait for the coroner to come back with if that was there son. They said thank you just because they dont splash a video all over youtube saying thank you don't mean they have not said thank you and we know they have done that..
Guys I don’t care how you guys feel about these guys, but when they started crying when hey found his car with the radar made me cry...these guys are real....
the difference between this sheriff’s department and the one y’all dealt with when you found nicholas allen is like night and day. THIS is how you treat a team who is out there helping to bring these missing people home to their loved ones. stand up guys these officers were. great work once again AwP!
Jared & Sam... you guys are beyond AMAZING men w/such big hearts. Can see it in y'alls eyes, in ur faces & in ur voices when u first spotted the car. Thank God n heaven the police, landowner ect... were ready & willing to bring Ethan home w/the help of y'all. As for the pond being searched already x's 2 or 3 times or whatever... he jus wasn't meant to be found until now. 😥💔 God Bless both of u. Stay strong, stay safe, stay being u. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Local LEO's were absolutely professional, and even very kind to the AWP team. Due to the possibility of this being a crime scene, their hesitance to allow them to stay on scene is understandable.
$100k reward, got an anonymous tip on the location, had the equipments, easy money for them. Go there confirm it's the car, get reward, a family gets closure, win/win.
There are evil and good people on this earth. Only you hear of the bad on the news. They mostly dont show good cause it doesn't get clicks. But somtimes bad people do good even. Rare but it happens. I broke down one day and a guy game me a ride to the parts store and back late at night, went above and beyond. Found out 4 years alter he was a pimp and a drug dealer yet he whent above and beyond. Not saying he was a good guy but didnt stop him from doing a good deed. Knowing that though i would have rather not been any where near him lol
28:40 look at that sherrif, Thats a good man who's heart is hurting after having to tell a devistated family that not only did they finally find their son, but that they hadn't done a good enough job to begin with and he was right where they were looking the whole time. He's obviously a good man and he seems very conflicted about how to feel about this, it seems like he feels guilty almost. Nothing but the best wishes for the family of the deceased and i hope everyone involved is able to find their peace.
Maybe their technically back there wasn't as good now. Or crap I hate to say this but we don't know if in fact the car has been down there the entire time
I don’t think they did anything wrong in their investigation and don’t blame them. Sonar technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last few years and law enforcement never seem to have the funding for the most up to date equipment. It’s not their fault he wasn’t found by the local LEOS. I think everyone is just glad he was finally able to be brought home. I’m now praying they find clear answers as to how Ethan ended up at the bottom of that pond. They’ll work hard to get those. They’re good men.
Take into account the technology they had and possible malfunctions. Maybe the lack of training on the equipment was not fully there but "enough". Its not easy doing search and rescue. They did their job, but didnt see anything. Its like me telling you to find a needle in a haystack. You spend 3 weeks looking in the right place just don't find it. I come up behind you and find the same thing. Then someone else says "look over i saw a glimpse of something shiny you missed". You look again and boom found the needle.
Breaks my heart that the sheriff said "this is the first place we checked" and it took 7 years to get back and actually find him. Could have had closure for the family 7 years ago and not agony
@@jessicaphillips4542 the sheriff confirmed at the start of the vid that it was near the place of where they actual party was located so they knew it was a place of interest ☺️
AGREED! These men are amazing & they have to speak highly of the local law enforcement. If not they get a bad name within the law community & start getting shut out. Sad because the ones I’ve watched don’t deserve the recognition they seem so blah,unbothered & nonchalant about a missing person & someone wanting to actually solve it. They can legit solve a missing person case within 24hrs-a week but yet these “investigators” can’t within 7+yrs! Also if they did really look back in the beginning & the car wasn’t seen like they claim I would start to think fowl play?🤔
An unfortunate part about police looking for missing ppl is resources (man time, other departmental resources ect) don't last forever, and they end up having to move on to another case for a reason or another. You guys are filling a gap here. You're knowledge of sonar, and overall ability to see the big picture, you guys are really doing amazing work here, and we need people like you to bring people home 🖤
The father of a friend of mine used to do underwater body retrieval in lakes and rivers in the Midwest. That guy had a real far away look to his eyes. I can't imagine the toll this kind of work takes on a person.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I think you probably just saw what you wanted to. In my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, jobs like recovery units or morticians are actually pretty fulfilling, it's sad for sure, sometimes devastating, but you're doing something daily that helps people heal, and you end up having a very healthy outlook on life and grief. I honestly would rather be in that field over something like a surgeon, the pressures of that sort of job would freak me out too much lol. Of course, it all depends on the person, but I think when we look exclusively at the toll a job takes we devalue it a bit.
@@hunterra217 fulfilling because they are helping families, but also sad because they see some terrible shit, even if it is their every day job, the way bodies decompose in diff environments... I have a lot of respect for them because I couldn't do it.
@@hunterra217 You have no idea what the commenter saw or what the father of his friend was experiencing. You, are projecting your own ideas just as you suppose this commenter is projecting... You, yourself are doing. As you said, it all depends on the person. There is a thing called 'burn out' for a reason.
I am upset these guys didn’t get the reward because it “expired”. I love watching these videos with my boyfriend. These people are helping families out.
Seven long grueling years Ethan's family has been waiting for this day, I think the people who were looking for this man and his vehicle were told the wrong place deliberately, because this was a way to cover up their trail, it spells murder!!!, this is a murder scene!!
I just subscribed to your channel after I came across it a few days ago. I've been binge-watching some of your videos and will continue to do so. I love the fact that you show the joking around among yourselves, but when you find a body, everything turns to respecting the dead and calling the authorities. Please keep doing what you're doing, because you're bringing some long-needed closure to families who desperately need it - as well as cleaning up the environment. My heart goes out to Ethen's family.
I've been an AWP member for a couple of months now, and I can't tell you how impressed I am with everyone involved with AWP. I am a gay old man living in a nursing home, but feel if even I was underwater, you'd look for me. God bless all of you.
Man don’t ask For forensic files to show up here ,these guys are freaking hero’s to do this on there own And should have been given that an award They solved a cold case... That poor kid would stay there forever
Back in 84 I recovered a car that had been missing 2 1/2 yrs with a couple inside , it's not a pretty site .But there was closure for the daughter an family .
As I posted elsewhere here, many years ago I was on vacation in Miami. I saw on the News a case where they found a car at bottom of a canal out towards Everglades. It had 4 or 5 (I think) missing teens inside, who had been missing for years. I forget how many years. This was probably 35 years ago or so. I think they had been missing for a lot of years.
R.I.P. Ethan, a sad ending. So glad his family have closure and can lay him to rest. That police officer looked really emotional and shaken up at the end. Well done for finding Ethan and getting him back to his family.
Small towns do not get much of this type of stuff. However, recently, my town has been getting a lot of messed up stuff. Car accidents is easy to deal with. Murders, shootings. Ect is not.
@@brandoncaldwell95 , I felt really sorry for him, having to be professional, whilst giving an interview, when he was obviously so upset. I am really sorry that your town is going through such a difficult time. So many young people here in the UK are killing each other, and it seems that suicides are also on the rise, especially since COVID. It is heartbreaking to see. Take care. Sending best wishes
Was I the only one who kept seeing a 2 instead of a 7? I was confused as to why he was saying 7 again and again. This was one of the most unbelievable things I have ever seen. God bless these men for what they do!!
The amount of people found in water terrifies me and breaks my heart. Like how many lakes, rivers, etc have I driven by and taken photos of and there was someone just waiting to be found in the water
I swim in lakes a lot and now it makes me think

Thank you Tanner!

Thank you Tanner!
After serving 25 yrs doing search and rescue, body recovery is so important for putting closure for the love ones. I hope you continue doing this service. great job.
Thank you for your service ❤️
who ever edits these needs a raise. those transitions of the diver coming out of the water and then him walking away are amazing
I was thinking, it's sooo cold to be getting undressed and into the wet/dry suit! But it blended so professionally.
I like how respectful they are. They just want to help. Asking for permission to go on property and respectful to the families. Keep up the good work boys.
They are respectful your not wrong and they are also really good people that the world needs more of and in every country, but if they do not ask permission its call trespassing and if the owners there they can shoot them or start and case on them or they could even go to jail they have to ask they ask for the safety of them and to make sher they have themselves legally ok like nothing can turn on them. In any cercomstacs you should ask anyways but yea happy new year.
They’re professionals and realize the police have protocols to follow
@@guysmalley m
I see your point but as much as they were filming a show, I'm sure his family is glad that THEY found their child.Noone else.
I'm pleasantly shocked the police and land owner were open to having the land searched again. Sadly, I'm also shocked the reward was "expired". Shameful.
it's called a fake reward
That sounds shady to me how convenient when the poor guy is found sorry nope no money 💰💰💰💰💰 available
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. That’s awful. These guys go above and beyond, if that was my son found; better believe these two men would be walking away with some sort of gratuity in the form of money. They don’t make em like these guys and the second you take them for granted is the day they’ll be gone and everyone’s left with answers
That is a huge lack of integrity on the part of the "donors" to claim the reward has expired after Ethan was found even though the reward was renewed in 2020. If a reward is going to be offered it needs to be paid out when the person is found.
@@auntkaz422 right how convenient luckily for them Jared and Sam r so nice
Support people like this. Not celebrities and “influencers”.
Yes!!!!!!
Well said.
Putting in the work.
Fax
While they are doing a good thing that is very appreciative . I relate to my "influencers" more
Other agencies just can’t take it can they. Instead of being so appreciative, they feel threatened. It’s unbelievable. You guys are so classy and respectful. As always, great job. 🖤
I can believe how buthurt and childish they were … it had nothing to do with protocol or investigation- this behaviour was solely ego driven - also I bet you the owner of the land was about to pull some sh*** if they hadn’t already discovered the car right then & there.
You were treated appallingly by these buffoons! How could they have missed the car in previous searches in 8ft of water, it should have been obvious and they also dived in the lake. As for the reward I don't know what the conditions were but crazy to dangle a $100k carrot with no intention of paying out.
@@4legs4paws55what did these people gain by being jerks, ok so some one else found the car and young man. He is FOUND and going HOME.
@@4legs4paws55 the car is evidence, and it could be a crime scene... no one really knows what has happened... if something goes wrong and it is the fault of a civilian that civilian could be arrested for disturbing a crime scene.... it is the law.
Also.. as the officer said, they rather not have to subpoena them in case of foul play and they'd have to testify in court.
At the moment there's a crime scene, the police is responsible of it.. if they let a civilian without any legal qualification handle it, they will be liable for anything...
Also... it would be grounds for any dismissal of evidence as the state can not without a doubt say that the evidence has been tampered with...
It's all pretty logical imo
@@whoknows8225Best comment!
Wow. My sister just sent me this video. Ethan is our second cousin (our grandma’s, brothers’s grandson). Thank you for helping solve this. My sister said she had continuously checked over the years for an answer but then this video randomly popped up for her today on a site she follows. It’s definitely a sad day but definitely good for his family to have some closure. Thank you for making this video tastefully and thank you for your help!
So sorry to you and your family for the loss of your loved one, Ethan.
So sorry for your Loss!
I am so so sorry for your families loss. My condolences and big hugs to everyone in his family and friends.
condolences.
im sorry for your family lost may his soul rest in piece this scuba diver man has solve any missing people and found it underwater im so proud at the scuba diver man i dream to be like him at future helping people to solve there missing family keep it up scuba diver man one day i will be like you 🙂
Kudos to the sheriff. Excellent example of a public servant. He had no issue acknowledging they had searched there but missed it. That’s a hard own, but he owned it and didn’t try to make excuses. Very professional.
What's even better the sheriff didn't pay the reward because he said it expired 😂
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 idk if it’s actually his call. Could be his higher ups and he doesn’t have the authority to make that call
@@emily.g.929 from what I read and herd he was upset these guys made the sheriff look like fools and liars...tbh they kinda are but regardless he had a heavy hand in the decision. Btw have you ever herd of a reward expiring 6 months later for a missing person?
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 The reward wasn't put up by the sheriff you dolt.
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 A reward should never expire as long as the person is still missing.

Jason long?
The reward for finding this young man should be given to these guys. The look on that man's face when he discovered the car on his screen. Broke my heart.
The family of Ethan made a donation to them for their gratitude for finding their son.
Thanks! I realize my donation seems small but times are hard for most, and I myself is no exception.
I am blessed to be able to follow this group and to be able to see these heart wreching videos. This video is a very touching one, to see Jared and Sam choke up on finding Ethan after all this time. Even though he may have felt he needed to end things there, I am sure that he hoped that someone would find him so his parents can bring him home and lay him to rest.
It may be of comfort that they have found the body that once held his soul and can now let his soul rest peacefully. However, the way that they dismissed AWP as if they aren't welcome anymore, and that the team of people that should have found him just as easily as Jared and Sam has, now want to swoop in and take the credit for the find and recovery
I feel these two men deserve to be apart of bringing Ethan out of that cold water so his family can now have some closure, and for these two guys to know that he is recovered in a manner that is dignified and respected.

Hey, if you have 100$, that's 2% of your total money you have. If someone with 1 million gave 2%, that's 20k
They have *millions* of views just on this video. If even half gave what you did it would be life changing!
The look on your faces when you realize you may have found the car. It says it all.
The respect you guys have for the the families and the people you recover is so evident.
Almost 33 years ago we found a car at the beach access at a local lake. We reported it to the police and waited for their arrival to be able to give them the location of the car. The car belonged to a soldier who had been missing for a couple of years and his body was recovered in the car. Foul play was suspected but that case was never solved. I’m just glad the family received some sort of closure. Prayers for Ethans family.
Broke my heart seeing the two lads tear up in the boat. And the "love you bro" through the knot in his throat... I'm sure doing this makes you love and appreciate your friends and family even more.
same here bro but can u help me find where they said it bc i losy it
@@dumdum4100 @9:09
“Thanks”
i really liked the 'mood' in this video! the sunny weather, the cooperative sheriff, your demeanor, the music - it was so uplifting. it culminated in a overall sense of relief and quiet gladness that this case was solved and the family could finally have ethan back. i'd take that over suspence and horror anytime. well done!!
You solved their mystery and then sort of got pushed aside. You did a wonderful service. Thank you.
I can see how much Jarred’s Heart is in it ! To walk off into Freezing Cold water to search for some one he doesn’t know. Wow that makes him truly one of a kind. Thank You to all of the crew helping make this possible
So cool not bashing the cops
$100,000 was a good incentive though huh?
Kit3000.
When Rewards are made Available, why are the dive teams never awarded it.
Unless of course it came directly from the family. I'm sure if it was raised via a Go Fund Me account, the people who donated wouldn't mind if it paid toward another boat, sonar system and the likes to AWP so they could cover more areas to search.
Only a suggestion folks. Worth considering??? 🏴 Betty from Scotland 🏴
It's refreshing to see a town's sheriff without ego, he just want a closure for the family.
I agree! VERY VERY VRRY RARE! Very evident in MOST of these amazing videos!
Even when this guy puts him at risk standing next to him with no mask
@@theysaidnewzealand ohh shut up with that already! The COVID vaccine is here.
I think it's just a misconception from all the movies with the police captain who's arrogant and egoistic. I don't think that's what happens in real life. Atleast most of them anyway.
Not every sheriff is from the TV...
I love what you’re doing, cleaning the environment and in the process, finding individuals who were missing for years. Keep it up. We need people like you!
I see this video has hit the youtube algorithm so ill give you guys this: If you ever find yourself in a similar situation do this. Don't panic, the car will float for a minute or two, first remove your seatbelt, then try to open the window, if the window does not open get any sharp item (you can remove your headrest) and break the window, if there are no sharp objects you can use you can break the window with your elbow. If you can't break the window wait for the car to fully fill up with water, take a deep breath right before the car fully fills up, now the pressure inside the car is the same as outside and you can open your door after which you can swim to the surface safely.
Yes, good instructions. However, hitting the water in your car is like hitting a wall, and the chances you will be conscious to do these lifesaving manuvers, are slim to none.
****DONT use your elbow. Use your seatbelt buckle clip instead
They make two in one tools that break widows and cut you out of your seat
@@spookygasman5162 Shatter proof glass: won't work unless you have a glass breaking tool. But chances are you will not be conscious to use them.
@@faithm9284 That's absolutely false unless your the personal driver of the president. I've done it twice, once by myself in a river and once for a drunk friend in a lake.
So thankful to the landowner giving you permission. I've got tears running down my face. I'm sure the family will be happy and sad for knowing you found him.
I'm very grateful for that to as a catholic church cemetery pond they wouldn't give permission too or a rock quarry places clear water in Wisconsin it's where divers go a big rock quarry in black river falls
I don’t understand why they kept saying a license plate ended in 387, when it was obviously 382. And then they told the cop on the phone that they had a license plate match?
And _THEN_ when talking to the cop in person, he said it ended in 357! The cop said “that’s correct.” Huh?? The plate is clear as day 382! Just weird!

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 yeah i notice that too XD...anyway they find Ethan.
He shows emotion for a man hes never met and cries after he realizes hes found a missing person, that speaks volumes about him.

or he is being manipulative and making a show for the camera....
Lol you can hear it in his voice, he can hardly speak on the brink of tears
@@terryglover6442 Im just saying some people can be manipulative like that. Im especially worried because he asks for donations. People tugging at your heart strings one minute and then asking for money the next send up red flags for me.
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 he couldn't travel the country bringing closure to countless families without help from his viewers, he also makes it clear that if it wasn't for his viewers he wouldn't be in the spot hes at now
@@terryglover6442 so what you are saying is he has incentive to act the way he does. Im not outright accusing him of anything, but dont be gullible or naive either. There seems to be a common theme in all his videos. Money is involved somehow. This feels like treasure hunters posing as humanitarians
Just a minor observation. I get confused with the licence plate, the Missing Persons Poster at 1:04 indicates it would read AUZ 382. That's what I read at 11:40 under water as well. Nevertheless everyone refers to it as AUZ 387 numerous times. In a serious matter like this I am surprised nobody ever raised that mismatch during the process.
i saw the same thing and said the same thing as well.
I seen the same thing, came to the comments to see if I was the only one.
The plate is AUZ 382, you can see it on the video, he just reads it wrong at the time.
Definitely a 2 not a 7.
Also his surname was written as Kazmarak on the news story rather than kazmerzak. Details being wrong like that I find disrespectful.
Such a sad ending to the story but at least the family now has peace of mind for what it helps Rest In Peace Ethan
I think he was in the car or his skeleton
Absolutely
@@TopCenter-TC He was it said there was a body when they got the car out the water
It was a lie
Man that is hart braking
Props to you guys for pointing out that it wasn't the fault of the local cops for not finding it when they searched the pond. Anyone who has worked with sonar knows luck is just as important as skill.
But it didn’t stop their prides from acting like complete assholes saying “stay away from our investigation” ....”we have Ethan’s car” HE SAID “ok”
@@lizlizzylizard I don’t see the problem with him saying “Ok”, he’s just acknowledging what he’s saying.
@@lizlizzylizard If you are ever involved in a crime scene in any way you'd know that people have a tendency to not listen and to potentially completely fuck up an investigation. One mistake and, in the event it's homicide, you lose vital evidence or give the perp a chance to walk.
Its a given that they want to be sure no one messes with anything.
What causes inaccuracies? Currents? Dirt? Problems with the receiving electronics?
The wong licenceplate got confirmed tho... so how can u be so sure that this is real?
I am tearing up just knowing he and his family are back together. Not in the way they wanted but together. I’m so sorry for your loss.❤️❤️

Congrats to all your crew for what you do, and what you do for the family's of the lost. Please don't stop what you do, you all are totally amazing.
This is a weird one, How did a car get into a dam so far away from a road. The car is undamaged and Ethan dissapeard in a mysterious way. Sad there is games going on with the $10000 reward. These guys deserve the reward because there is little or no income on UA-cam these days. I don't understand how they can afford to do these amazing body recoveries

@@creamythroat Covid saved us from going missing lol we can’t go nowhere
Seeing you guys get choked up over finding Ethans car is a total gut punch. Thank you for the work you all do.
I was holding it together until Sam said "Love you bro". Other people might see that as an odd time to express such a thing, having just found the car like you did... but I get it. This means so much to you guys, and you're in it for the right reasons. This is a payoff for you two and your channel, but it obviously matters more that the family will get answers.
Just... thank you guys for the work that you do. You've truly found your calling.
Jared has a big heart with no ego involved, AWP is completely in service to grieving families, the dignity of their loss & their process are his and Sam's top, TOP, priority.
As a professional in the criminal justice system (not a police officer), I always emphasize with my fellow investigative partners that there's no room for ego when you're trying to save or change lives. No need to be annoyed if you aren't "getting the glory" or breaking the case. The outcome is all that matters.
But this is not the case on this video. You can tell this guys body language and demeanor.
But why do they do it? Like everyone should b happy that a case was solve.
Good on you. Respect.
Awesome Attitude & well said. Thank You:)
@@MsZelda nobody likes to be a failure. And a lot of people are going to question why they didn't find him before
You guys have fast become my favourite channel to watch. Discovered you a few days ago and still binge watching all your videos. Keep up the great work!! Biggest respect from Perth, Australia.
This is how you solve cases. Working as a team and putting ego aside to get answers for the families. Love this as sad as it is.
Sadly some of the local authorities seem a little Salty they didn't find him, but Thank God you guys did! I imagine it can be tough dealing with some egos, its beautiful you guys remain cooperative and humble!
That part!
I thought that too, it’s not about who found him it’s about the fact that he was found!
Salty is putting it mildly. The wages and benefits these public servants receive are no joke not to mention the catastrophic bereavement for the families who are FORCED to rely on their opinions and expertise(?).
The minutes they throw salt the public will throw fire.
Count on it.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking
That dude was definitely not laughing when he made the amateur joke.
This is so sad. Horrible for the young man's family that it took so many years to find him. These guys...Finding missing people as often as they do, wow, that's tough.
Police are a joke. They have millions for tactical gear but couldn’t find a car right down the pond 7 years later? What a joke
@@GabGotti3 police have other things to do, as horrible as that sounds
Crazy looking at this compared to newer videos where police almost expect you guys to do the extraction, keep up the good work.
I think the thing I like about this channel the most is the respect shown to the deceased. Well done.
**NOTE** if your car ever goes into water.....pull the headrest off your seat it has two big steel rods. Swing them into the glass to break out a side or back window
The front windscreen was out and Ethan was in the back seat, which makes me ask, did someone else smash out of there and leave him down there?

@@salmanjamil5349 I'm sure they see all of the comments, I agree it seems freaky, but there appears to be too many anomalies to be a straight up accident and no one knows what happened..
I was in highschool when Ethan went missing only about 30 minutes away from where I lived and looked very similar to him (or at least the pictures used in his missing person posters). I was consistently confused with him multiple times and approached by the police many times about it, including 1 time I forgot my ID and that was a whole mess. Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already, RIP Ethan.
Oh my. That's terrible but many have look- alikes and only communication or dna tests can show the truth. Sorry to hear that this happened to you.
Wow. Doppelgängers can get you in serious trouble. My dad is constantly mistaken for people, and he’s just waiting for the day.
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e maybe he can wear eyeglasses with a crazy frame shape or color to distract attention away from his real appearance. Some cousins dont know all of their distant cousins or half-brothers and sisters but they resemble each other and you meet strangers who can be upset with you.
I so love the episodes with these two. You can feel their emotions too. My heart goes out to the family and those involved with the recovery. This young man reminds me so much of my oldest son.
I love how you guys are willing to admit you might have missed something and return to locations again and again. This attitude is what makes you successful. Keep it up! Your will receive rewards that far outmeasure what is denied here. I call it God, some call it karma, whatever it is: you will be able to continue this work. May the angels surround you and protect each of your dives.
Lara.. yes may angels surround them, they are just humble, and are doing G-DS work and they care so very much. You speak the truth Lara
Amen! I claim this for AWP.
So humble to start sueing when the reward was no longer in affect since it was 7 years ago and the main donor had passed.
Bless you guys - as a funeral director I can tell you totally how much comfort you are giving these tortured families - god bless you

Something to do with finding bodies makes one that way.....and dealing with grieving families...
All i can say is that these guy's are absolutely amazing with everything they do, i want to thank them for helping these families have closure with their loved ones!
Thank you guys ❤ sending love God bless you all 🙏
The world need more people like these guys. Hats off to u. I will be buying merch an spreading the word. Much love for what y'all do
Much love!!
You can be one of them if you try? The problem with our society now days is people saying we need more like you or them instead of becoming what they say we need
MOPAR 300 are you one of the people that you just described? TBH I’m not.
@MOPAR 300 DO U PRACTICE WHAT U PREACH?? OR JUST ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT NEEDS TO SAY SOMETHING TO FEEL IMPORTANT.
If I knew what I do for a living your mouth would have never opened. What's wrong with people now days, is people opening the mouth with a smart remark before they know the whole story. Go f*** your self tbh
These guys are extremely professional…. I like that they did not bash the other search team….
They know the limitations of the technology. They even said they missed it on the first pass and only caught it on the second.
Yeah, this is only the third video with them I’ve seen, but I’m impressed not only with what they do, but also with their level of professionalism.
As for the local dive team, and emergency management, I can see them wanting to run the show, even if more professional people are available, and even though it’s just a recovery, it’s an excellent chance for them to go through their protocol and do the job, which they might not do much, and in doing so maybe they might be able to act fast enough to actually save a life.
God bless everyone involved in this recovery, but especially those from this channel who choose to go out, on their own, without any government backing, and help find loved ones so their friends and family can get some closure, give their loved one a proper burial and hopefully move on from this multi year nightmare of just not knowing where their loved one is, or if they are alive. It’s a terrible ending, but it’s far better than a never ending uncertainty over someone’s fate.
They are very respectful and professional in all they do. It’s the other five teams that sometimes get butt-hurt. When AOP gets disrespected it pisses me off. There is a human in that car that a family is missing, throw your ego to the side and get the job done.
It’s not their family or friends that’s why
They may not bash the previous search team. But I will. This county is full of trash cops especially the sheriff. And search team. Straight garbage. Somebody make these diver guys detectives and pay them double
The real reward is giving Ethans family answers and closure, and hopefully hearing the words thank you.... thank you guys
sorry but nothing is free these days people needs to put food on the tables and a roof over there head thats not (free).
but yea the other reward is seeing the family have closure

@@TypoHaven thats right but u know knowing the end is very important
Families don't deserve to go through this
Wish all the sheriff's were as nice as this one was.
I have been the Fire Chief of our department here in Florida and I have run into all kinds. Usually they are good but sometimes you run into the ones like AWP did a few months ago that think they are "all that" and treat people as being below them. A few times the companies and I have run into jerks and everyone has said lets just roll it up and head back to the house and let them figure it out themselves. Wanted to but never did when you get one like that you just do your job and get gone
Thats iowa
Yea iowa sheriffs are poggers. And I’m not just saying that because I’m from Iowa
It’s Iowa. Every sheriff is nice

Good to see officers who know it's about getting it done. Not WHO gets it done. Thank you all for your work ❤
Even tho I know hes deceased it makes me sad that he was in that car underwater in the cold and the dark all by hinself for years before being found. I know its irrational but its the way I feel.
It's not really irrational to me. Having lost my baby sister to a drowning accident, I understand what you're saying.
The life of an Empath. I feel ya
Death is only sad and horrific for the living coz the dead know nothing! Death is like a dreamless sleep!
I feel the same way. I'm thankful his family now has a resolution though.
@@danchiengchiengi8581 sleep doesn't have anything to do with it, you're dead, end of story
I read that after this recovery, the offered $100K reward was not paid out. I know a bit about this topic, and can tell you that this happens more often than not when rewards are offered to solve a crime. They find loopholes/excuses not to pay, or simply refuse. It is sleazy and infuriating.
Also maybe this type of “rewards” are more like a bait for people who knows something
Or maybe they didn't want the reward I've seen some of the videos where the police officers and people like that are trying to give them money for their efforts when time they drove across country and they did all of it free of charge and they kept telling the police officer we don't want any money and they said well you're probably going to receive something and they didn't want it so maybe they got offered the money but they don't want it they do this out of the goodness of Their Own Heart and a part of Mercy donations and stuff to keep their company going or like a lot of people think maybe they didn't get offered the reward but honestly I don't think it would matter either way with them they weren't there for the reward money they were there to help a family find their loved one
This is shameful ,, what a way to fuck a person out of money , who really didn't start this bisness to ge6y rich , They care about bringing people home , giving the family peace of mind..
John may I ask. How did you come to have experience woth reqard money info ??? If I may ask were you screwed out of money after solving a cold case?? Did you know someone that this very exact scenario played out ????
@@jesusalc1421 good point didn't think of it like that
Did someone noticed that the las number was 2 instead of 7 ?
Ya saw the same thing😄😭
Yes

Right
Thanks!
I’m assuming the phone call to the family started with “we found Ethan” not “they found Ethan” great job documenting the credit you guys deserved on this one.
Of course bc they wanted to take credit for finding him bc they looked in the wrong place and didn’t bother to look over in this place or over looked it. I used to trust the police but after my daughter that trust is gone. Jared and his team found him bc they cared.

RIP ETHAN and my condolences to the family.
These guys should get some world class awards for what they’re doing.
Ummm
These guys deserve a reward or at least some kind of funding for what they do! They bring closure and answers to the families. These guys are absolutely incredible. RIP to all those lost and are yet to be found 💔
@@Francois_Dupont The anonymous donors claim the reward expired in 2015.
They deserve more appreciation
The reward is finding him and the millions of views which will bring them some cash.
This was an amazing display of character. Neither you guys nor the sheriff had a whiff of ego and look how smoothly it went. The graciousness and respect was so refreshing to see, and doesn't add any more stress to an already tragic situation. It helps bring peace to it, actually and will prevent any undue stress to the family. Imagine, if you were pointing fingers or whatever, how much more horrible it would feel to the family? I hope LE keeps that in mind in these situations.
@Mike H. That hasn't stopped some LE from being nasty though
What is LE? Sorry not familiar

You all are very respectful to deceased, LE and families. May you all be blessed. Kiely Rodni case is what brought me to your channel. True angels.
I was already a fan but them getting Keily Rodni case was absolutely amazing! Someone didn't want her found!!!
I have been watching y’all for a long while. And I get choked up and shed a few tears for every one you have found and their families. Thank you so very very much. Y’all are warriors of God to be able to do this. I am sure it is emotionally/mentally exhausting every time you find a missing person and at the same time relief that the family has resolution. I am sure you think of your family and your children and would not want them in that position. I know y’all been through so tough crap the last year or two and I never wavered from being your fan!!! The past is the past thats why it’s called past!! I am so glad you are still doing this and I am always grateful to get the notification for a new video and dive. Thank you all the whole team!!! Blessed Be and stay safe 💜💚🧡🖤🩵❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I cannot imagine Ethan's final moments, if his demise was accidental or purposeful, and the struggle he endured... bless the family and the community in their loss. Much appreciation to Jared, Sam, Dan, and all of the first responders involved in this search and recovery effort.
They definitely need funding they're not looking for payment. The other guy couldn't dive cause one of the oxygen hose on the other tank is broken. That makes me sad. keep up the good work guys.
@@littlecountryboys9432 ehhhh. You might think so, and you might be surprised. There is nothing at all about diving that is cheap. As is the case with just about anything, professional equipment is not cheap, and professional diving equipment is no exception, not to mention it’s a lot of equipment that divers use.
@@My.name.goes.here. Yup, diver myself here, it's super expensive. The tank a lot can easily cost over 800 dollars. If not a bit more, depends really.

You guys should be so proud of what you’ve done and achieved here!
You’ve allowed a young man to be laid to rest properly and gave his family the closure they so deserved and needed! Very emotional video indeed! 👏🤗
God bless, proper healing can now take place in this family. God bless and stay safe along the way in the name of Jesus.
You guys are great. Always blows my mind how unappreciative a lot of these agencies are. Like you’re on their turf but clearly they aren’t doing anything. Of course the families are always grateful. Keep doing what you’re doing.
I don’t feel like y’all got credit where credit was due. I was looking on fb about posting on this missing young man, and I kept seeing, thanks to the police dept etc. I could not be the parents out there and not come to y’all and tell y’all how much I appreciate what y’all done in finding my son. This breaks my heart. I hope they have since reached out to y’all and thanked y’all for bringing closer to their lives. Y’all are amazing ppl and I want to thank y’all for being who y’all are and what y’all do. God bless each of you.
I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID 100%.....THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT REWARD.....REGARDLESS.....THE TIME HAD EXPIRED.....WHERE THE POLICE STILL GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM???? I SURE HOPE SO.....
@@TheKentuckylady717 and who did the money goto? Donuts and coffee?
Amen
The parents of this young man made a donation to them for helping bring hom there son. What do you want them too do? They said thank you in there own way leave it at that. They lost there son 7yrs ago and everyday from that day will have been horrible for them. Then to be in that field when they were pulling the car out and waiting to here if there were a body inside or not? And then having to wait for the coroner to come back with if that was there son. They said thank you just because they dont splash a video all over youtube saying thank you don't mean they have not said thank you and we know they have done that..
Guys I don’t care how you guys feel about these guys, but when they started crying when hey found his car with the radar made me cry...these guys are real....
the difference between this sheriff’s department and the one y’all dealt with when you found nicholas allen is like night and day. THIS is how you treat a team who is out there helping to bring these missing people home to their loved ones. stand up guys these officers were. great work once again AwP!
Jared & Sam... you guys are beyond AMAZING men w/such big hearts. Can see it in y'alls eyes, in ur faces & in ur voices when u first spotted the car.
Thank God n heaven the police, landowner ect... were ready & willing to bring Ethan home w/the help of y'all.
As for the pond being searched already x's 2 or 3 times or whatever... he jus wasn't meant to be found until now. 😥💔 God Bless both of u. Stay strong, stay safe, stay being u.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I agree, I live in NC and I was totally appalled by the way that sheriffs department interacted with AWP and Nicholas’s family.
Local LEO's were absolutely professional, and even very kind to the AWP team. Due to the possibility of this being a crime scene, their hesitance to allow them to stay on scene is understandable.
AMEN TO THAT
Welcome to Iowa nice!
Awesome job guys, I’m originally from Mason City and I remember this case. I knew you’d find him. Love ya guys.
This popped up in my recommended, this just proves that there are still good people left in this world full of evil.
$100k reward, got an anonymous tip on the location, had the equipments, easy money for them. Go there confirm it's the car, get reward, a family gets closure, win/win.
There are evil and good people on this earth. Only you hear of the bad on the news. They mostly dont show good cause it doesn't get clicks. But somtimes bad people do good even. Rare but it happens. I broke down one day and a guy game me a ride to the parts store and back late at night, went above and beyond. Found out 4 years alter he was a pimp and a drug dealer yet he whent above and beyond. Not saying he was a good guy but didnt stop him from doing a good deed. Knowing that though i would have rather not been any where near him lol

@@chickensfloat7427 that’s a really good example.
@@xsizzlexster6495 The reward was "expired"
28:40 look at that sherrif, Thats a good man who's heart is hurting after having to tell a devistated family that not only did they finally find their son, but that they hadn't done a good enough job to begin with and he was right where they were looking the whole time. He's obviously a good man and he seems very conflicted about how to feel about this, it seems like he feels guilty almost. Nothing but the best wishes for the family of the deceased and i hope everyone involved is able to find their peace.
Maybe their technically back there wasn't as good now. Or crap I hate to say this but we don't know if in fact the car has been down there the entire time
I don’t think they did anything wrong in their investigation and don’t blame them. Sonar technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the last few years and law enforcement never seem to have the funding for the most up to date equipment. It’s not their fault he wasn’t found by the local LEOS. I think everyone is just glad he was finally able to be brought home. I’m now praying they find clear answers as to how Ethan ended up at the bottom of that pond. They’ll work hard to get those. They’re good men.
Had they, the police, just walked the lake shore line, a tracker or scout could spot any car/tyre tracks, unless under snow?
@@martinh1437 not easy with a lot of fresh powder down.
Take into account the technology they had and possible malfunctions. Maybe the lack of training on the equipment was not fully there but "enough". Its not easy doing search and rescue. They did their job, but didnt see anything. Its like me telling you to find a needle in a haystack. You spend 3 weeks looking in the right place just don't find it. I come up behind you and find the same thing. Then someone else says "look over i saw a glimpse of something shiny you missed". You look again and boom found the needle.
Breaks my heart that the sheriff said "this is the first place we checked" and it took 7 years to get back and actually find him. Could have had closure for the family 7 years ago and not agony
Why was it the first place they checked though?
@@jessicaphillips4542 the sheriff confirmed at the start of the vid that it was near the place of where they actual party was located so they knew it was a place of interest ☺️
Can't find anything when ya scuba dive with a facemask snorkel flippers and no real desire to go above and beyond.
Myra’s amazing… that all these “saves” seem very off the more I watch
AGREED! These men are amazing & they have to speak highly of the local law enforcement. If not they get a bad name within the law community & start getting shut out. Sad because the ones I’ve watched don’t deserve the recognition they seem so blah,unbothered & nonchalant about a missing person & someone wanting to actually solve it. They can legit solve a missing person case within 24hrs-a week but yet these “investigators” can’t within 7+yrs! Also if they did really look back in the beginning & the car wasn’t seen like they claim I would start to think fowl play?🤔
An unfortunate part about police looking for missing ppl is resources (man time, other departmental resources ect) don't last forever, and they end up having to move on to another case for a reason or another. You guys are filling a gap here. You're knowledge of sonar, and overall ability to see the big picture, you guys are really doing amazing work here, and we need people like you to bring people home 🖤
very true and a lot of these smaller areas just don’t have the money nor the time
Didn’t lack the resources once it was found for them though. Soon swooped in…
@@Paul.Arnold you ain't wrong
What a tragedy.
Thank you for searching the pond again.
Now the family has closer . RIP Ethan.
The father of a friend of mine used to do underwater body retrieval in lakes and rivers in the Midwest. That guy had a real far away look to his eyes. I can't imagine the toll this kind of work takes on a person.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I think you probably just saw what you wanted to. In my (admittedly fairly limited) experience, jobs like recovery units or morticians are actually pretty fulfilling, it's sad for sure, sometimes devastating, but you're doing something daily that helps people heal, and you end up having a very healthy outlook on life and grief. I honestly would rather be in that field over something like a surgeon, the pressures of that sort of job would freak me out too much lol.
Of course, it all depends on the person, but I think when we look exclusively at the toll a job takes we devalue it a bit.
@@hunterra217 fulfilling because they are helping families, but also sad because they see some terrible shit, even if it is their every day job, the way bodies decompose in diff environments... I have a lot of respect for them because I couldn't do it.
@@hunterra217 You have no idea what the commenter saw or what the father of his friend was experiencing. You, are projecting your own ideas just as you suppose this commenter is projecting... You, yourself are doing.
As you said, it all depends on the person. There is a thing called 'burn out' for a reason.

This is the way the police should interact with professionals.
Seven long grueling years Ethan's family has been waiting for this day, I think the people who were looking for this man and his vehicle were told the wrong place deliberately, because this was a way to cover up their trail, it spells murder!!!, this is a murder scene!!

I just subscribed to your channel after I came across it a few days ago. I've been binge-watching some of your videos and will continue to do so. I love the fact that you show the joking around among yourselves, but when you find a body, everything turns to respecting the dead and calling the authorities. Please keep doing what you're doing, because you're bringing some long-needed closure to families who desperately need it - as well as cleaning up the environment. My heart goes out to Ethen's family.
I've been an AWP member for a couple of months now, and I can't tell you how impressed I am with everyone involved with AWP. I am a gay old man living in a nursing home, but feel if even I was underwater, you'd look for me. God bless all of you.

Back in 84 I recovered a car that had been missing 2 1/2 yrs with a couple inside , it's not a pretty site .But there was closure for the daughter an family .
It is better that the family know for sure so they can move on.
As I posted elsewhere here, many years ago I was on vacation in Miami. I saw on the News a case where they found a car at bottom of a canal out towards Everglades. It had 4 or 5 (I think) missing teens inside, who had been missing for years. I forget how many years. This was probably 35 years ago or so. I think they had been missing for a lot of years.
If you don’t mind giving an insight on the decomposition of the bodies please?
