Who We’re Looking For:
=====================
Julie Margaret Vessigault (Missing Since 01/23/2024)
Last seen leaving her mother’s home in Elk Grove, CA, driving a tan 2005 Toyota Camry. Despite her car needing repairs, Julie’s disappearance raised immediate concerns as she was known for her punctuality and dedication to her work cleaning aircraft.
John Atkins (Missing Since October 1973)
Vanished between Freeport and the Courtland Bridge while driving a GMC Sprint. The team prioritized this decades-old case, given its proximity to recent discoveries in the area.
Norma, Thomas, and Richard Houghland (Missing Since 07/15/1978)
A mother and her young sons disappeared during a summer drive, likely seeking relief from the heat. Their gold or light blue 1965 Pontiac LeMans remains missing, adding to the mystery of their case.
Karmen Kay Neilson (Missing Since 11/20/2016)
She was last seen driving her silver 2012 Honda Civic southbound on River Road with little details to investigate the disappearance.
Uriel Cantu (Missing Since 11/26/2006)
A citizen of Mexico, disappeared en route to Washington State to pick up a paycheck.

Our investigation spanned from the Walnut Grove area north to the Freeport Bridge. Utilizing cutting-edge sonar technology, underwater dives, and intensive mapping, we targeted high-probability locations such as Steamboat Slough and other sections of the Delta where submerged vehicles were previously identified.
A1 Towing, a trusted local partner, worked alongside AWP to extract vehicles from the waterways. These efforts were bolstered by cooperation with the Courtland Fire Department and local law enforcement agencies, ensuring efficient coordination and safety throughout the search and recovery process.
During this trip, we identified and recovered several vehicles while marking others for future removal. Among the 18 cars documented in Steamboat Slough, we worked to dive, assess, and prepare them for extraction. This initiative underscores our commitment not only to solving cases but also to restoring natural environments for future generations.
Coming up on Day 4, we find our first missing person we've been investigating on this trip. Stay tuned as we share more on this story in the videos to come.
Adventures with Purpose is dedicated to solving cold cases involving missing persons. By combining innovative search techniques with community partnerships, AWP has helped recover 34 missing individuals and their vehicles, bringing peace and closure to families across the nation.

Omg this so awesome.. I live a few miles away from all this my entire life!! Just feels different watching
Jared thats crazy you were here in my area!! I was also excited when you were in Tahoe area to look for the Rodney girl. Ive been watching your chaneel for years!! Big fan and love what you do. Forget all the haters and credit thieves from a couple years ago! Dirtbags!
My brother has been missing near Cleveland Texas since May. The sheriff’s department is understaffed and does not have the resources to look for him. He was an Eagle Scout and all around good guy. He and the car are just gone. No sign of either of them. It’s very frustrating and heartbreaking for us his family and friends. The DPS did a helicopter search in May and two game wardens kayaked down one of the river/creeks but nothing. I’m not sure if sonar was used. If possible, please help.
Send AWP & other search teams an email with as many details as you can remember. Don't forget to include your phone number. I hope they can help and you can get some answers as to what happened with your brother. Good luck
I'm sorry for what you are going through 😥😔please send an email to AWP & Jared will get in touch with you
I'm sorry for your loss and pain 😢
Email AWP, but also contact other searchers like Doug Bishop, Nugg, Adam Brown, etc
Praying hard for you and your family 🙏
Thank you A1 towing for donating your time and people this week. Please go on there page and thank them for there time 🎉
Thank you to jared for all you do for these family's and I no it's hard dealing with the law about all these cars that you fine it's a sad job thank you
5kfLA7 plate tage
What’s with all the sounds the background music
Thank you A1 Towing for doing this for free. Much love to you.
@@jerrymack8473their editor got a little carried away most likely. It is excessive though
Just the fact that you cleanup the environment, is monumental. But the way you try to solve cold cases makes you extraordinary. You guys are phenomenal and deserve so much recognition and respect ❤️
I think that is how they got started doing these investigations. They were cleaning up and when they pulled a vehicle out there was a body inside they were not expecting.
Jarad you and your team are angels in dive suits god bless you for what you do
WOW!!! What a FANTASTIC organization! Thank you for doing something so important!! Thank you also to A-1 Towing for your incredible support and all other volunteer(s) that help bring closure to families while cleaning up the environment! Very impressive.
I live next to the Mississippi River about halfway down it and I can't help but think about how many missing people may have driven off the shallow sides or highways next to the river and just ... Disappeared. I wish that there was a group that had the time and resources to scour the whole river over the span of a year or two, to see who/what they can find. Thank you guys for what you do. It's amazing.
Searches each episode like they’re searching for his own family and doesn’t just give up. There is angels on Earth.
A-1 Towing has some really nice trucks. My parents owned a tow company in Modesto in the 80's & 90's & was raised in a tow yard pretty much, so I've got an eye for classic cars & tow trucks! Hahaha! Just a 👍 for the tow guys!!
Thank you A1 Towing for coming out and cleaning up the river with AWP. Our rivers are so important to the people in Sacramento.
Thank you Jared and the rest of the Adventures With Purpose crew for all that you do for families!!
Since I found this channel a few days ago I have yet to see one of your videos that isn't an absolute tear jerker😢
The A1 guys are awesome for helping. Aside from that, their rotator is beautiful!!
Love the "big hat", looks good on ya. Thank you for still working to clean up the environment on top of looking for the missing.
I still remember and appreciate your work on the Kiley Rodney case in placer county. You did the RIGHT things. The Placer County sheriff obviously came after you to annihilate your character and ruin you, and you didn’t cave in. GOOD FOR YOU! Keep doing what God has you doing.
Oh wow what? The sheriff went after AWP? For what, Doing his job better than him or what?
@@Dj.MODÆOI’ve heard nothing about the sheriff coming for them.
He found her fast too.
@ it’s not hard to find a vehicle underwater if you know what your doing, know where to look and have the right equipment to look for it.
Thank you Jared, Team and A1 Towing for cleaning up our rivers and to help families find answer and closure!
Thank you to A1 towing for volunteering your time and resources to AWP.
Yea ty
I wood like to thank u guys for everything u guys do out there looking for missing person to give to the family
AWP is just the bestest 🙏🏻 Thank you.
I've been subbed for a few months. I absolutely love that you and your team are doing this free of charge. That has caused me to become a member of the channel about a month ago. Props to both your team and A-1 Towing for the public servants and angels you are.
We're honored to have you as a member and appreciate your support!
😢😢😢❤❤❤
Thanks for cleaning our river and lakes up
One thing I see over and over is that when a person is trapped in their vehicle, and the urgency is high to get them removed quickly, Good Samaritan’s, police all try to smash out windows and can’t. AWP’s window breaking tool would make this so easy to do and I’m amazed more people, especially the police, don’t buy them. So small and easy to carry and the payoff, priceless.
My husband and I have 4 of them to keep in our vehicle. And we are so encouraged to look for opportunities to use them and gift them. Your videos and demos on how to use these simple but amazing devices are perfect to understand the value of them. Thank you for doing these videos as they do save lives. And thank you for offering them to all of us to buy.
I bought the windbreakers for every member of my family thank you
Last Christmas I bought a bunch and handed them out to all my children's friends for Christmas. I had already gifted some to my children and these kids all mean a lot to me. Excellent stocking stuffers or Secret Santa gifts.
Yeah i got 6 for those in my household, but im planning on getting everyone in my life one, i just have to spread it out since I'm on disability (aka I'm poor😂)
I live in Washington along a fjord in the puget sound, and ever since I started watching these videos, it shocks me to see how many opportunities to go into the water there are. It makes me especially nervous knowing I live in an area that is mainly retired ppl, or ppls vacation homes. Just today, they found a missing kayakers kayak and his body, and I know of a man who went missing while swimming in the fjord. So I know there's definitely people in there waiting to come home, and it breaks my heart. I wish I could do more like these guys do❤
Every cop I know has a window breaker. I got one in my car safety kit.
Jared, you have the bravery of a warrior, the heart of a Lion, the grace of a nobleman. The underwater search movement you started has reached far and wide. You are a shining ray of hope for these families that would otherwise never know what happened to their loved ones. I realize there are trials, tribulations and danger on your plight, but your dedication is admirable. Never let the haters slow you down or stop the absolutely vital role you play in bringing those who no longer have a voice home.
Please keep up your absolutely vital work.
We, your viewers, stand united and strong in our support for you.
God speed good sir.
He is doing what police should be !
As an avid fan of AWP, I am always appreciative of comments like your's. I awkwardly struggle to find the right words to express my feelings.
Thank you
😊
❤
Fellow civilian of the city of Elk Grove. I hope peace can be found for Julie. It hurts knowing someone went missing and was last seen on a road I have been on many times before. Special thanks to A1 Towing, I've seen your trucks around Elk Grove. Also, I have been on River Road before. One wrong turn at night, being intoxicated, or even looking at your phone is all it takes sadly.
Thank you to A1 Towing for the help today. That is fantastic that they volunteered their services. I hope this gets their name out there..I had to have a vehicle towed and carry their card to give there name out to people. It was a accident with minor injuries mostly from the air bags and the tow truck driver was so kind as I was the person left to deal with the towing. The vehicle has brand new Cooper tires on it so I mentioned it to him as only one tire was damaged so there was three good new tires that someone could make use of .😊
You guys are the best I watch you guys all the time. Thank u for getting those family answers.. ❤
Thank you A1 towing for donating your time and people this week and adventures with purpose for doing the work that you do for the communities and families who lose their loved ones ❤❤❤
Jared you and your team are best ❤❤❤❤❤
We have two missing boys in Oroville, Ca after trying to retrieve a duck in a kayak, one brother struggled, the other called 911 and went in to save his brother. Both are missing now in the afterbay. Please come help the devastated mother and father get some sort of closure before Christmas comes!
They already have an abundance of authorities and a few spot light chasers there.
Good luck found the missing person
The underwater audio quality is amazing!
That tow truck is NICE.
Keep up the amazing work guys👏🏼
1:05 In 1992 myself and 2 friends stopped here to get some bait before we went catfish fishing in the delta. We walked into a robbery in progress. We lost everything included the car which was later found abandoned driven off the levee. I still bear a scar where I was pistol whipped to this day. What feelings this brought up in me.
WOW , I'm sorry that happened to you .
Idk you or your homies. But either way I'm thankful that you guys are still here and alive . I'm sure it was very very scary. I've been thru something like that. I'm thankfulI'm still here cuz i could not be here.
Thanks guys you make a difference ❤
Very thankful for A1 Towing thanks guys your the greatest. Awp your so awaome as always.
Dear adventures the purpose you can find .missing people and make them peace also mom and dad will miss❤
❤️ Jared & team 👌🏻
Thank you Jared for your efforts to find loved ones and you dedication is beyond limits, God bless you and your team and also A1 towing for being able to support you, thanks to them as well for helping out. Keep up the great work you guys do every day.
You're awesome Jared. I wish the very best for you always.
Thank you AWP
I’m in the U.K. and knew straight away that it couldn’t have been a Toyota of any kind with twin tail pipes,then the wheels were the give away that it was a Chevy. It’s great that you’re getting to clear the waterways. There must be hundreds littering the bottom of body of waters
I don’t remember where it was or what episode but I know one case they were on they found like 80+ vehicles in the same small strip. CRAZY
What you do is beyond words amazing. I will forever shout your name because you are a hero
All you guys that's got involved with awp does an amazing job of trying to find the family loved ones.😊
Today is my 28th birthday and to be quite frank, no better time than to spend it watching your videos after some family time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !
Happy Belated birthday!
❤
😊
The US should have a Department for searching missing people and you Jared should lead the department.
Any government involvement would create another bureaucracy with more paperwork and salaries doing nothing much and slow things down to a crawl... JMHO
We already have them! They are called the police! They would never be as efficient as a private citizen like these amazing people! The department would probably end up being another way for corrupt democrats to launder money !
If you want to see the ruination of an amazing "free service " to mankind, get a government involved!!
No that would wreck it. He would be severely limited in how and where he works, and he would have to prioritize what he is told to, say goodbye to Down-Under Dan etc etc.
Not with his history
Jared mach weiter so mit deinem Team ihr seid Spitze ❤❤
Danke
Love being apart of this team!! l always watch every single video till the end!!
So cool. You can literally see boats and other vehicles under water in Washington lake
Can't wait for the next vid! Thank you for all you do!!
Thank you a1 towing
Thank God for People like you. Lots of Success to 2025 und all the blessings to save divings
Thank you for helping these family’s recover their loved ones god bless you Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
You Awp rock it.god bless you bringing home the lost its all in divine timing
Ty ty
You are doing such good work AWP Merry Christmas 🎄
Amazing work keep up what you're doing truly appreciate somebody's there to help people God bless you stay safe and thoughts with those that you find and their families 💗
The best of any of them!❤
Do you see many Tug Boats? I saw one in this episode. My husband is a Tug Boat Captain and A few years ago he couldn’t see very clear. Went to Dr then an eye specialist . He had early onset of cataracts at 57 years old. Eye surgeon said he sees a lot of people who are on the water all the time, they tend to grow early and quickly. Probably reflection of water. It like happened to him overnight. Had both eyes done and he couldn’t believe how much better he could see all the way to the second barge. Said he will need it done again in 10 years. Just an FYI, with you being on the boat. Specialist moved from New York to Destin Florida, and that’s when he kept notes how young people who grew up on the water had early onset. Compared to people from New York.
Great news for people. I'd never heard this.
Thank u for doing everything u can to help the missing and their loved ones. Stay safe.
Thank you AWP and A1 Towing. ❤
How long does it take to be just bones after years being in very cold water???? Thank you 😊
What a beautiful rotator.
Yes Sacramento love it
You guys are the best you guys bring home loved ones. It's so sad to see the ending and watching the car come up from the water and remains of the loved ones. its just so heart breaking💔🥹😭Your crew has a really great heart. Hope to see more videos and finding missing loved ones🥹 it breaks my heart seeing all of this. Rip all the 7 missing people you will be loved by your family for a long time. I hope all of these family members find peace and love.
Remember everyone, AWP does not charge for their help. If you can't donate/become a member, Like the video, comment, and let the ads run. That will give them a little ad revenue and get the algorithm to feed it to more people.
Beautiful tow rigs
Thank you for keeping this team work going and growing 🙏💗
Thank you for your support, we appreciate it and couldn't be doing it with your support!
@AdventuresWithPurpose you're very welcome 🤗💗
You guys are great 👍! Jared and the team. 😊
That first car that he thought was a Toyota, I guessed it immediately as a Vette. 5 spoke rims plus the exhaust placement. Definitely a Vette.
The best of the best ❤
You are 100% on target
Im very clumsy (currently have a black toe nail from dropping a new dish washer right smack onto my toe😂, but ive broken several toes several times from running into corners and tables) so matt is making me feel very seen rn😂😂 I also just show up bleeding already❤
That’s not a Pontiac LeMans. It’s a Pontiac GTO. My dream car 🚙
Jared we need you guys near oroville California. Two young boys went missing last seen in the lake oroville afterbay.
They already have an abundance of authorities and a few spot light chasers there.
Hi Awp love what u do!
Glad you’re along for the ride! Thanks for being here with us.
Awp rocks!!!
Love you AWP ❤
Love that you're a part of this with us. Thank you!
I've been watching your videos 2 years now, what a great thing you're doing. Does your membership for early releases cost a fee to watch?
Members do pay a fee & they get to see the videos first. If you can't afford to - that's ok. You will have to wait 3-4 weeks longer than the members to see the videos that were released
Yes. There are different levels of membership fees though. Some are able to make a higher contribution than others. I believe the lowest is $4.99 a month + tax. All provide the same early access to new releases.
❤
😊
Great job keep up the good work.
Keep up the fantastic work AWP
Hi from Alabama love your videos
Wish I would have known AWP was in town . Keep up the good Fight Jared . Clarksburg boat ramp AKA Merrits Landing has been one of my launching spots for many years . Lots of bank fishing in that particular spot due to the fact its one of the only areas to bring vehicles closer to the bank. Ive spent many nights out there fishing for the white sturgeon .
Lack of ramps sure does make it a bit more challenging as you'll see in the upcoming episodes.
Jared Thank you for what you do for these families , regardless of what you may have done as a kid the work you do for these familys is anazing our past should not define us but no matter how many families we help it will not replace the hurt we caused as an Adolesence nor does it take away the memory that we live with everyday . But the more we help others it does help our soul
You are the best! Music, filming and all. People who don’t do this can’t possibly know how difficult a job this is and should stop complaining.
❤
Rock on❤❤
oh, in my neck of the woods....I am 30-45 mins south of elk grove...
It's a great world we live in when we have walking talking Angels on earth doing jobs without pay and giving hope and answers to loved ones that would have never had an answer as to what happened 😭 I almost feel like Some of these towns etc. Don't try hard enough and that's sad .AWP❤ you guy's are awesome ❤❤❤❤💚💚💚💚The tow truck drivers alao great job 👍
I just had a thought, could you imagine having a trailer made special deck over tires so having a level uninterrupted surface. Then finding a vehicle Jared would have to go back to floating found vehicles tow company lowers trailer into water Jared lines up floating car to trailer straps on and safely pull car up without losing the person inside and not losing them out the windows. I knew alot of work, but the whole intent is to save the remains..
Espero con ansias el próximo capítulo chicos
Love what your guys do!! Been watching for years but first time to comment. 👍👍👍
Would love to have seen part 2 and 3
Part 2 is available now
Jared if you end up near San Sabo TX we have a friend that is missing in his Van There is a large lake there. Went missing Thanksgiving day 2024
I am sorry to hear that. I hope you've already sent AWP an email about the case.
Watching andsub.s. Waiting for part two. Thank u🇳🇴
I try to watch all your shows. Very enjoyable to see how you help families for nothing. I now wonder what's under the water at Wollaton park in Nottingham England. Probably pushbikes and shopping trolleys.
Amazing work, can't find the link to the next day though.
Sometimes second and even third parts are uploaded a few days a week or even a bit longer keep looking out I haven't looked yet as still watching this one but I'm sure it will be there soon.
You would think the government would want to get these guys on their payroll so they can take credit for all the missing people they are bringing home
Can u come to Michigan and look into two cases. David Tyll and Brian Ognjan . And the other case is Augustine Lee Floyd
Yes Jared and his team they are so very awesome people they do a awesome job looking for people love one how are missing
AWP. THE BEST 👌 👍
By the exhaust and wheels, I could tell it was a corvette
