CASE NOTES
================
Donnie Messier
Missing Since: October 5th, 2006
Missing From: Waitsfield, Vermont
Sex: Male Height: Unknown Weight: Unknown
Race: White
Age: 34 years old
Case Description:
Messier was last seen at a party in Waitsfield, Vermont at 2:00 a.m. on October 15, 2006. He left the gathering driving his red 1997 Ford F-150 dual cab pickup truck and has never been heard from again.
The vehicle has the Vermont license plate number BGG890, a dual exhaust, a moon visor, a black tonneau cover, and the NASCAR numbers 27, 07 and 08 displayed in the rear window. A photograph of it is posted with this case summary. Since his disappearance, Messier's bank accounts, credit cards and cellular phone have been inactive.
Messier was reported missing on October 18, three days after he was last seen, after he missed two days of work at Green Mountain Coffee Roasters without calling in. His family described him as a hard worker and a "homeboy" who rarely traveled anywhere. The only out-of-state trip he had ever taken was in the fifth grade, when his father's work briefly took the family to Florida.
In October 2022, the diving group Adventures with Purpose found Messier's pickup in the Wisnooski River in Duxbury, Vermont. Investigators are going to try to retrieve it and see if his remains are inside.

Cold Case, Missing Person, True Crime
My father-in-law was found in a lake 3 months after he went missing. Can't think of how my husband would feel today had the father not been found. Your work means so much to so many people.
My condolences for your loss 🙏
So very incredibly sad. My heart go out to y'all.
I’m sorry for your loss
If anyone can fine him it's these guys...They are great.
The “not knowing” would kill me
If Jarod didn’t ask one last time if they were 50/50 or unsure and if Nick didn’t speak up and say he was still unsure this case would remain unsolved forever. Love seeing Jarod and Nick backing each other up! Nick is such a great addition to AWP!
So hopefully this case teaches them if they see something very questionable they should probably dive on it.
Jared is good about picking up on the crew being unsure. so he knew to ask so nick would say it.
@@TheCompbuzz I think this case had tons of lessons. Trust their gut and yes to keep the integrity of search they always need to make sure their thorough and confident with everything they check off. I could wright a book about what the team accomplished and learned about this case.
@@tammy7794 Thats what makes Jared a great leader. He backs his team up and gives them the chance to make the calls and trusted his team. And good for Nick for speaking up and not just letting it go. Gives me chills the team work and love AWP has for each other!
I agree 100%.. Jared is a great leader and his teams work together great.
When he came up out of that cold water and said "I think we just found Donnie" I was so overwhelmed. Unreal. Thank
I had that indrawn breath moment because I wasn't expecting it. Just WOW, out of all the places they could have tried to cover and bingo, picked the right one, what are the odds of that?
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830 not so much obvious but from unlikely to possible when you see it's firstly a car then see it has red paint.
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830 They found the truck, that doesn't mean for a fact they will find Donnies remains, he could be long washed away. :(
The kid's a filmmaker! Brilliant job.
@@Bmd9007 Well, that is good, but at the time he came out of the water and said that the only thing he knew for sure is they had found the truck. I did not see the news footage and this happened weeks ago so I did not know for sure.
This was a perfect episode demonstrating that each team member can participate and contribute to such a profound rescue team. Thank you everyone!
Yes it takes them all to get the job done , even the family at home let's not to forget them
Eat ur heart out Jagger. These people are the best!
It’s my honour to be part of this team thanks for having me 🤿🇦🇺💙
Thanks josh great too meet you
Thanks for being my sidekick on this one Dan! I can’t wait to solve many more with you buddy!
Give me a shout out!!!
Glad you are having a chance to enhance your skills. We need you back in Australia to help bring the missing home.
@@Nicgyver good luck in January see you after that
As soon as I saw the shape of a truck on the sonar I got chills. The fact that Nick and Carson had different views and Jared asked whether they should take another look, shows how they all work together as a team.
Going through all of that shallow water and then find the one hole where Donnie's truck rests is an amazing miracle. His family and friends now have some answers after 16 years.
I can't wait to see part two.
I also want to see how Jared and crew got out of that "pickle" in the last video.
Yeah...what happened with that 'pickle' of a doozy of a fix?
@@singmysong1167 who knows they might still be there
@That Fellow, Christian That was as all Nick, let us give credit where it is due, the guy knew that it was worth another look and said as much, Nick proved his object was the car and Carson did a great job but if Nick had not wanted another look, then this car would never ever have been found again. Great job Nick and Carson, well done to Jared and his team of heroes.
The look on Carson's face told it all. I immediately teared up even watching the whole event unfold. Good job guys.
ME TOO....
Same here!
I did as well. Thank you so very much AWP and all involved with helping them in these difficult missions.
As soon as I saw that it was a Vehicle 😭 but my heart stopped when it was a red one😭🥹
Thank you boys for not dismissing the possibility and making a choice to go check on your hunch ❤❤❤❤
I thought the same thing. The way he had to take a moment before he could get the words out. I got goosebumps instantly. You've done a great job Carson. Thank you to you and the whole AWP team 💝
Omg, when Carson came out of the water, breathing and then just quietly said 'I think we just found Donnie'.....it sent a shiver through me. Carson you are an asset to the team. Nick, Doug, Jared, Josh, Carson and everyone on the team......angels in diving gear all of you & what you do for families is just incredible. Stay safe on your journeys all of you ❤️
@Adventureswithpurpose I'm watching you from over in England, I have been watching you for about 2 years I think now. I just think what you all do is incredible ❤️
@@amandaanscombe1813 that contact me on telegram is a scam, just in case you didn't realise
@wino99999 thought that....that's why haven't replies to it
At ok I'll p all. Lol
@@amandaanscombe1813 of lol ok
Just the way he said "I think we found Donnie" gave me shivers down my spine.
You guys do unbelievable recoveries of missing person. Job well done. Can't wait to watch part 2 and part 3.
I was looking for this comment. I felt the same thing. From the time he descended into the water and I saw that red vehicle I knew they found him. The paint job on that pick up was so fresh that it still hasn't faded all these years.
Add his facial expression that is a 💯% a fact. You can feel your heart drop as he speaks those words. I ❤️🩹 these guys. They do such an amazing job. May you all continue to be blessed as you bring answers and closure to so many family. 🙏🏼
Made me tear up
@@SWEETLILLY2 they never found Donnie. Only the truck. No remains were found. I live in the same town. When they say the case is solved that's a lie! Google it. See for yourself. Vsp say no remains were found. Thus this is still an open case
I think Donnie was his first find.
I love how thorough Nick is. He is a great asset to the team.
Thank God he is bc Carson really didn’t think it was a vehicle. Nick was dogged about Kiely’s car too, which was hard to read bc it was so new
Nick is just so good at that. Great job
I really hope that Carson doesn't feel bad for thinking that it wasn't a car while talking with Jared. That is what a team is there for. You help and support each other. Carson will learn from this, but I just hope that he won't feel guilty.
You all did incredible.
Definitely a great learning lesson! I hope this teaches him to trust his gut & not just his knowledge 😊
I think Carson got "that feeling" as Jared used to talk about at the beginning of his work doing this. Doug talks about it too. They just know, it's a gut instinct. Now Carson knows to trust that and he can rest assured Donny will be going home. He volunteered to dive it, he knew👍💯
@@throbbinwoodofcoxley6830 Absolutely agree, even on the boat when they couldn't get the magnet to stick Carson was theorising why it might not stick and giving examples, I believe he knew in his heart that this was a vehicle. Proud of the lad.
Learning lesson. Hell never say 100% confident again. Until you lay eyes on it you cant say that. There shouldnt be 2 inexperienced guys on the same boat
When in doubt, check it out. Nothing is set in stone; Carson just learned that first hand. Yes, I'm glad he's now learning the same skills the other guys have and not just using his camera skills. I love how Nick was coaching him on safety measures. Safety first.
I love how you encourage and mentor young people to participate in something so important.
Yes and it's wonderful that these young men became apart of this Purpose and opened themselves up to see terrible things
Thank you to Jared for being such a great inspiration, mentor, teacher and letting others grow and learn in front of the camera and behind. To see all the AWP members evolve and develop so many skills and to see how AWP has become such a valuable tool finding missing loved ones speaks to the vision and guidance Jared has provided.
He is a truly good man.
Well said
@@CrazyGorgeousLife Doug
i WAS JUST THINKING THAT !! Kudos to jared and doug and heavyd and carson and josh and yes, Sam, and Chaos and Nug, just all teams and everyone involved
Definitely. Well stated. 👍
I don’t know why I keep watching these, I always cry during the beginning when they show the faces of the folks they’ve recovered.
And for the people that talk bad about them, they probably don’t know what it’s like to have a son or daughter, parent, sibling, or friend missing for years without any answers or closure. To the 26 families who got the answers they longed for, some for decades, AWP is such an answer to prayer!
Me too 😢. I think I just like knowing the person gets to be back with their loved ones for a proper send off? I bawl my eyes out every time when they’re located and brought up, but it’s like comforting too.
Amen ❤
It's amazing how a vague image that is guessed to be over 30 years old could be submerged half that time. It just shows how variable conditions can be and how unique each situation is. Something to learn with each discovery.
So many other people would probably passed over it and think nothing of it. Their diligence and shear hours they have put in sonaring has clearly made them elite professionals. Amazing
@@kristinebirouk6295 They almost did pass over it. They couldn't get the magnet to stick because of all the rocks and silt on top.
That's weird because as soon as I saw the image on the sonar i knew it was the truck, i could see every part of it very clearly and distinctively. Even how it was placed and how sunken and where it was. And normally in the other videos/cases when they find vehicules on the sonar, i never see it! They are like "omg yeah that's definitely the car, here's the roof, tires" I can never see what they see and what they mean on the images.. Except this time, for me it was clear as day that this was a f-150 and everything, when the magnet wouldn't stick I was so mad and i was almost screaming at my screen when they were thinking about leaving thinking it was a rock! 😂😭 I was so relieved when they decided to dive to go look.
@@vwchick24 that would be terrible. these are all corporations and they'd want to monetize the hell out of this. better they stay independent
@@vwchick24 because they need to remain independent! Where their content is FREE to see for everyone.
There are LOTS of negatives to going into contract with media!
kudos to Carson for not letting that one go and to dive despite the cold water. Great job to everyone who works so tirelessly to bring families the answers they need. Stay safe!
@@GearMaven I thought it was Carson, will need to go back and watch again. Regardless, it was a great team effort!
Nick was the one that still questioned it. 44:21, Carson was 100% positive it wasn’t it.
I'm not familiar with Carson. Is he kind of new to the team?
@@stephentaylor8339 Carson's been with AWP for some time now that I'm aware. He's usually behind the camera like Josh. Maybe that's why Carson is unfamiliar to you? He's an amazing young man.
AWP has definitely grown throughout the years in a positive way. Jared has a true passion for helping families and this is evident in what positive things are happening! Bringing on new team members who have already proven what valuable assets they are and having two trailers and RVs will double the families helped and bring more answers., I just love these guys and what an impact they’re making on the world!
I thought this was a LA Beast thumbnail lol
Just a quick thought.. I have a niece with same name hun. Your parents... Sandy and Rick Ford 🙃☺? Haven't seen her since she was a child.
I agree! AWP IS MY FAVORITE UA-cam CHANNEL HANDS DOWN!
@@deborahstone9696 you know how many people in the world have the same name? In my state alone there’s 9 other people with my same first & last name & my name isn’t common, let alone has a weird spelling.
@@deborahstone9696 Sorry, not me.
I'm from a small town outside of Stowe. Thank you so much for coming here and solving this case, and bringing answers to the families here.
AWP was my niece 's favorite program to listen to because she lost her sight and most our conversations was around AWP. She past away September 1st and now I find it very hard to watch anymore 😢 but I will never stop paying for you amazing young men God Bless and keep you all 🕊❤️🙏
So sorry for your loss 😢💔🙏
Thank you Jared for bringing a movement to help bring so many loved ones home. It was key for Jared to continue to ask about what both Carson and Nick thought it was, Jared is so good at searching and to have someone dive on this was so important. Jared and team you all do great work and what an inspiration to so many Jared that you now have 2 teams and can hopefully bring home many more loved ones because of this !! Great work !!! Thank you for all you have done and continue to do !!
I call those pivotal moments when you doggedly follow a line of questions until everyone is completely satisfied with each answer or you commit to a course of action.
@@AnitaSouthall lord, if only some of the LE in this country when looking for missing persons would do that who knows how many people could be found. Jared and crew sets the standard.
It’s so cool to see the team’s growth in this episode. Jared is a great leader and teacher. Carson did a great job scoping out the vehicle and I liked the way he phrases his answers in a way that he shows he knows he’s still learning. It’s a very wise approach. Nick’s knowledge and ability to take the lead on camera is clear. It’s was cool to see him to see him follow his gut on this one. Great example of teamwork. Also really liking the music selection from your editing team in this video. Kept me on the edge of my seat at just the right moments. Beautiful work all around. Thank you for all you do for the missing, their loved ones, and for us viewers. You guys have been my comfort watch the last couple months.
Seriously I have said this so many times already, but you guys are absolutely amazing and we are all so grateful for your help with all these families!!!!!!! There should never be any hate towards these men who help find family members that detectives and police where not able to!!!!! They are angels to many!!!❤❤
It's crazy to think how close you guys came to passing this one up but Nick had that gut feeling that it could be a vehicle.
Nick is amazing. I love how the 3 main guys are great in their own different way. Nick is chilled but has a big teddy bear heart and gives his all in each case I have seen
@@BlackStump172 excuse me for asking but who is Jagger? I watch nearly every episode so what did I miss?
@@AnitaSouthall it means you missed Kiely Rodni ...
@@cieliesteyn9416 it would be helpful if you elaborated on your information. Who, where. When. Nearly everyone who follows these guys is interested in the case being solved. You are dealing with an unimaginable grief these families have already suffered with no answers. Our collective hearts break for them. A kind explanatory word would help the follower. AWP does a great service to all. Just sayin'
@@AnitaSouthall Kiely's boyfriend.
@@deannawheeler4362 Thank you ♥️
As a fellow Aussie it's super cool and amazing to have a Aussie on your searches for this video not gonna lie good to see people from around the world now being brought into your team for stuff.
"I think we just found Donnie." Wow... that was absolutely powerful. That guy's face was just... wow. I am speechless. A wonderful video! Well done on finding Donnie. My heart goes out to his family and friends, it looks like he had many of them. Looking forward to Parts 2 and 3.
Thank you for everything you do AWP. Just wonderful. I'm a big fan.
Part2 and 3 are already available to members and it's only $2.50/a month just fyi
Nothing but praise for the whole AWP team.
Carson and Nick worked brilliantly together and brought home another missing loved one.
The look on that kids face told it all. What y’all do is absolutely amazing! I’ve been following and watching for years now. What y’all do is absolutely amazing and continue to support y’all every way possible. Prayers to you all and to the families y’all helped along the way.
He may have a baby face but he's an adult, not a kid.
@@xxnyspicexx True, but to a lot of us watching who are older, he's like a kid... the youngest of the group too. I'm sure no disrespect was intended by the 'kid' comment.
@@eljay1980 Doesn't matter your age when he's literally one of the executive producers being called a kid. 🤷🏾♀️
Everyone is someone's kid so it's a perfectly acceptable word to use. Some people are just easily offended for whatever reason.
@@university-666 lol ok kid
I just love all of these guys. I almost feel like a mom watching my children out there helping so many families.
It was so nice seeing Jared on the episode!! I would love for him to come back!
Since I found the channel I've enjoyed his banter& watching him do what he does best! That's bringing missing people home to their loved ones!!
Thank you for everything you've created! ✌️💜
@@BlackStump172 totally agree 👍
It's got to be extremely 😖stressful for them to go through this. Knowing they might find something or someone must be satisfying at the same time.. Need to make them balance⚖️
If you watch the "behind the scenes with Josh Cantu" you can see more Jared, he has been in many of them. :)
Same
I firmly believe that you are innocent until proven guilty and also that after more then 30 yrs. to make amends with our
lord Jesus Christ, Jared is most likely forgiven for his irresponsible teenage actions. Jared has probably done more good for people during that time period than most people will do in a lifetime.
Wow, great job AWP! Loved watching Carson dive down to check it out. What I love about your team is the communication. This is why this one was solved. Each person was heard and given an opportunity to state their opinion. This is how you how you do it! Jared is a true leader. He is giving each member a chance to voice their opinions and then they discuss it. Great job Nick👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are an asset to AWP. Carson did a heck of a job as well. Even though he may have thought the car was old, he also dropped that seed about the magnet not sticking recently which made Nick think. Again, great job AWP👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Carson, I think in your gut instincts, you knew it was a vehicle. Good job on the dive. Thank you and all the team, and everyone else who does this type of work. Y'all are all very amazing human beings. God bless y'all. From Melissa, in the mountains of Virginia. Prayers for Donnie's loved ones.
I could see him training soon as well!
You gentlemen never cease to amaze me. What a blessing you are, not only to the families of those you find, but to anyone seeking hope in the same situations. Keep following your guts and God Speed.
Bless you all for taking the time to search that shallow river and going back to check when you were unsure of what you found.
Jarod, you have recruited some amazing team members. Nick is a gem in so many ways. It’s awesome to see Carson learning to dive. Team members with different areas of expertise teaching other team members … wow … I can literally see the teams growing stronger and stronger.
I really have a lot of admiration for Jared, Doug and their teams of guys willing to give of their time and hearts to help families find their lost loved ones. What great guys!
What impressed me on this trip was the interaction and cooperation between the new experienced divers and the young men working with AWP. The confidence in reading the scopes, intuition on the angles all show that these young men are learning from the best. Good for you.
Just became a member today! I’m blown away at how incredible you all are at this! I’m also incredibly saddened that Donnie expressed to multiple people he was thinking of ending it, but in cryptic ways. It goes to show us all just how important we are in each others lives and that we never really know just how serious someone might be. My heart goes out to the family and friends if Donnie.
I choke up and get tears in my eyes every time you guys find someone. You do such amazing and loving work to not only find these missing people but also to bring some type of resolution to so many people who love and care about them. God bless you all.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! I really notice the diligence taken to not leave any stone unturned, especially in years old cases. Magnificent work AWP, so sorry for Donnie’s family.
As a native to Waterbury, I know so many people are relieved to have some answers! Thank you for the amazing dedication and hard work!
It's so great to see Jared back and I wish we could see him more! Congratulations on the find!
Wow im glad nick still had an iffy feeling about not going back to make sure it wasn't a truck or car. Nick has been nothing but great to this team👏👏🙏🙏
Jared i can express what an amazing job you guys do time after time. And being able to give so much to these family is truly amazing . Thank you for all you do and your team !! ❤what an honor it must be to be apart of your team !
Crazy how this all started with cleaning vehicles out of water to clean the environment, to teams now finding missing people. Love you guys!
Also, that sonar ball is awesome! So glad y'all are able to get equipment that makes this more efficient .
It's always so heart wrenching to see the look in the eyes of the diver that discovers the target. Stay safe and take good self care. A+ guys!
your videographers, audio team and editors are doing such a great job. professional team all around.
I love that everyone on the team is given a voice. Carson is still young and learning, and he was willing to be proven wrong by diving. Ego doesn't play a part in any of their decisions, they work as a team at all times. Well done.
26 families who have answers. Bless you and all who support you.
The ending of this video has me crying and loving what you guys are doing even more. I cannot imagine this world without all of you. You all restore honor and faith in humankind. I will patiently wait for part 2. God Bless all of you and keep you safe.
Carson can I be your grandma? What a guy you are.
So so glad you guys decided to follow you instinct and go back check that spot!!! Carson asked some good questions here and his willingness to step up to dive in the cold river speaks volume to what a great asset he is to this team. Video was great and seeing Nick on this adventurous river looked like he could be the New Indiana Jones❣️Great work y’all and keep up the good fight to bring the missing home💛💛
It's beautiful to watch Nick and Carson grow and take more forward positions. Good teamwork is vital for search teams, and y'all function like a well oiled machine. I'm so grateful for the work you're doing. Bring them all home, and continue to be their voices.❤️
I love the fact that the combined experience, common sense, and logical guesswork leads you to these lost ones. Factoring in conditions at the time one is discovered missing, environmental changes since and something as simple (but as crucial) as “the magnet seems like it wants to stick” are all keys in your successes. How blessed we are to have two teams now! Keep growing!!
Rest in peace Donnie . I'm happy you guys brought closure to another family , Keep doing what your doing !
It is absolutely amazing what you guys are doing. Me as a diver, I had to experience how hard it is for families when I must bring them bad news, but as you always say, at least it brings answers. I had to deal with human remains under water too (carried a drowned man out of it) and can't thank you enough, that you guys have the heart to bring them home, so they no longer linger down in the deep cold. Chapeau!
Thank you for doing what you do, it can be hard I'm sure but answers for family can bring closer and healing. Prayers for your own peace and protection.
Donnie wasn’t found. He’s still missing but we know where his truck was.
i think you could see his skull mostley burried it didnt look like a rock
I am a person, that doesn't like changes in people in movies or TV, but you guys are so real, it flows together, and you all work as a whole! I enjoyed watching the same as always! Good job guys!
I am enjoying Nick's humble and articulate commentation, as well as the editing of this video. Blessings and prayers going out to all of AWP and affected families. This is my first comment. However, since Kiley went missing in Truckee, CA...and was finally found by AWP I have binge-watched almost every video, with regard to recoveries, you have ever done. In my opinion, you are collectively an amazing organization. Big Props and appreciation.
Yeah, that case might have put them on many more people's radar.
The second that red metal came into view underwater - My heart skipped a beat. I could hear Carson's breathing get a little faster, too. Outstanding job taking y'alls time on a "too shallow" river and then the young man keeping calm while underwater making a MAJOR discovery. Couldn't have been easy going through all the steps of the vehicle check in that current with all the debris, etc.
I thought he was searching for the license plate, but didn't find it, I guess.
I LOVE WATCHING U ALL EXPAND YOUR TEAM!!!! I'm so unbelievably PROUD of AWP!!!!!! I've been a loyal subscriber and viewer since the days of magnet fishing. But now I'm joining the mission with my monetary contributions to help U grow even more.
Great job guys. How great that Carson could get in there and search the water. Nick's going to make divers out of the whole team. Can't wait to see part 2. Thank you all for searching and helping families find answers.
Not all heroes wear capes some use sonar and wear scuba gear. You guys really work so hard and keep hope alive to get closure. God Bless you all and keep you safe.
So well said !
@@OttoByOgraffey Thank you my phone auto corrects
Absolutely amazing, so heart felt and emotional at the same time! I believe Jared has gathered the most awesome group of guys creating the most dynamic AWP TEAM to bringing the missing puzzles together, to hunt and find the most precious, priceless hidden treasures of a missing loved one and bringing them home! I can not think of anything else I'd rather watch then ADVENTURES WITH PURPOSE on their quest to reuniting the lost but never forgotten Loved Ones back to their family's. The positive out weighs the negativity on finding answers and bringing them home! God blessed this team with amazing gifts of compassion!
So happy to hear they finally got the magnetometer!! I've been watching since before they found the first missing person, just makes my heart warm to know these guys are out there helping cold cases/current cases. I will always love and follow AWP!! Thank you guys so much for what you all do. ❤
I knew him and after watching this show last year I thought he was in water and these guys should come. Now I just saw this and flipping out wow thank you for helping the family
There have been times where I felt truly chilled to the bone watching your videos, and that last line of "I think we just found Donnie." is certainly one of them.
Amazing work, another triumph for the AWP family - well done Carson superb diving skills in such a cold river! Best wishes from the UK!
@@BlackStump172 because he doesn’t have one.
While I wonder why we don't see Jared as much as before, I am impress with how Nick involves everyone and explains how he comes to his conculsions. I like also that Jared is letting other people take charge of the teams and is expanding so Adventure with Purpose can help more families along with the other diving/sonar groups. I stumbled on Adventure with Purpose browsing UA-cam and I keep watching the videos when I can. Great job Teams
Jared has said that he's taking a more behind the scenes to focus on getting things done but said that we'll be seeing him once in awhile.
I think that he's there just to be back up for Nick. He's going to be at home taking care of stuff there. I'm guessing that Nick wanted a to be a little more confident before he runs it himself. He's doing a great job. Man they have came a long long way since cleaning garbage out of the waters.
@@jenniferpurdie672 I think it’s to spend more time with his family too. I think he was burning the candle at both ends for a while and had to think about his own mental health and his families as well.
He said he was going to be doing more with the scheduling, researching, and setting up resources and taking less of a hands on role.
Now we know why he hasn’t been in the videos
Just remarkable..
Anyone else would discount and move on.
Looking forward to part two.
I realize how busy you are and how far behind you are.
Finding closure is more important than keeping us informed with lengthy videos.
Thank you
I got goosebumps when I seen the red. Thank you for not giving up or passing it up as rocks! You all are amazing at what you do!
Aww man...Im so happy he questioned it. Im definitely tuning in for part two. Such a bittersweet moment for the family. Great work, as always, guys.
I cant tell you how many times I have fished in that exact spot but don't own sonar or anything but ive definitely been snagged on it.. I'm so glad you guys were able to find him and bring the family closure thank you for everything you do god bless
Crazy to have you in our own backyard, thanks for coming all this way, was shocked to see it on the news and immediately knew it was you guys. Keep up the good work, and thanks for all you do!
Thank you for all that you do to help find these missing loved ones. Bless you all.
You all are amazing for what you do. You treat each “case” like it was family your trying to find. Amazing that you decided to go in and scope out that spot. If you hadn’t Donnie wouldn’t have been found.. Bless your hearts. 💞
I am moved by every episode. Everyone that is part of this movement is doing an amazing job. The effort, the videography, story telling, editing and of course the reason behind it all is just beautiful. Thank you
I’ve missed Jared and Nick so much! Happy to see them doing what they do best!!
Truly unbelievable work you guys. The dedication is heroic. That area and river specifically experienced 1000 year flooding in 2011 from tropical storm Irene which makes this discovery even more impressive. Keep up the amazing work.
I live exactly in this area and it’s incredible that they were able to find him after all these years… AWP are earth angels and thank you so much for doing what you do
So glad you found Donnie. ❤️ I am wearing my “Josh” hat I purchased off your channel Josh. Jared is a great teacher Carson and you are learning from the man I admire greatly. Nick, it’s good to see you too. Love to all of you.
Omg after all this time you’ve found him . Words are not enough to express how wonderful you all are for doing what you do . Thoughts are with family and friends ❤
Omg to think if Nick hadn't had that iffy feeling?! They may have just left it. So glad to see how all of you worked together to make sure this didn't go uninvestigated further!!
Just goes to show, even the smallest ounce of doubt is a good reason to check. Great job guys.
Love Nick being more involved in this case he does so great!!
Everyone at AWP are angels! The fact that you all goes out there to find missing people. Having to witness all this and be there during emotional times with families, WOW you all rock!
All of theses searches are so interesting. It’s such a blessing to all the families that someone is still trying to give them answers.
Wow that truck was hiding in that 10 ft hole in that part of the river , I’m so glad you guys went back. Great job !
Nick is an amazing guy! I really enjoy watching him. You can tell he has a huge heart full of love.
The amount of work you all put into each search is absolutely amazing. Thank you all for working so hard for these families.
Still takes my breath away every single time. When I saw the red my heart went in my throat Bless you guys and this family
I’ve been watching you all since you were a river clean up crew. I’m so proud to see how much you do to help people!
God bless all the members of the AWP team..your work means so much to so many..thank you for everything you do..Donnie's family will now have the closure they so desperately need, and Donnie can now be brought home..may he now rest in peace ❤
Thanks you all are so special. Nick yes you do look like woody harrelson but you are waaayyy better. Thank you Jared and Doug and all the other people standing up and helping. Wives and family too. God bless you all.
That is another wonderful thing about these people at AWP. Starting this and other people can start doing this as well. God bless you all and keep you safe.
I couldn't believe when I saw the red paint. Thank goodness you decided to dive it great job, guys ❤️
So awesome to see Jared again. But this episode was surely a long shot to find Donnie and kept me amazed they truly even found anything when searching 🙌🏼😭
Love how they bounce off ideas/thoughts from each other. Great teams.
Been waiting what seems like forever to see these please post part two I live 20 minutes away from where you found Donnie’s truck I remember hearing about him going missing back when I was a kid and I’m an absolute super fan I’ve watched all your videos once I heard you guys where here in Vermont on Donnie’s case I knew his family would finally get some answers thank you guys for what you do it’s absolutely amazing ❤
Great job Nick and Carson. I'm especially proud of Carson for volunteering to go check it out. Amazing teamwork as always!
God bless AWP! Thank you all SO MUCH for your amazing kindness and dedication to bringing so many folks home, you're doing the Lord's work!
Keep it up, everybody loves you so much, what you do matters, it matters today, it matters tomorrow. ❤
I wish that I could heart this.💓 They got,so much hate from finding Kiely.
They're always professional,thorough & sensitive towards the family.. Anyone should be grateful that they found their loved one..
this episode was the best i have watched in a long time. I loved the way it was presented. Felt more like the past than the newer episodes that are to much drama for me. All the work they do is outstanding but some people make you feel better watching this type of show. Hope this group stay true to this and don't go the way of the other team. thanks for all you do.
The way carson said 'we just found Donnie' broke my heart. I pray for the AWP team all the time. Thank you for putting yourselves in dangerous and emotionally draining situations for families all around the US. Sending love and prayers always!!
Thank goodness Nick mentioned it to Jerod and continued to talk about it & wouldn't rule it out 100%. That's what made the difference in finding it or not finding it. This will definitely be a learning case for the future. Magnet didn't stick, 'not high enough to be a vehicle', etc.
nick such a good addition to the team
that young man been watching and learning what a good find on his part.
