The Adventures with Purpose group is UNBELIEVABLE. They are volunteers who work on only donations from generous people. They have helped MANY families. Thank you Jared and Company !!!
In addition to donations, the channel also earns money from youtube (ad revenue and monthly membership fees) and from the merchandise Jared sells. Some people estimate the channel's earnings to be as high as $250,000 per month. Only Jared receives the money that the channel receives from donations, ad revenue, membership fees, and merchandise. Everybody else are unpaid volunteers. Jared begs for donations from subscribers to buy new equipment, etc., but he makes more than enough money to cover all his expenses and pay himself generously.

when people disappear mysteriously and without explanation....check under water, check lakes near by, ponds. It's not uncommon that people who "vanished" accidentally drove into water and drown, only to be found years later. My brother's friend from college went missing a few years back, and they thought everything under the moon including kidnapping, until someone saw strange tire tracks leading away from the road, she had drowned in her car the night she went missing.
I remember when I was a small child my mother was driving me and my siblings to church at night and my mother stopping the car to get out and check to see where she was going. Turns out she was about to drive into some water. It was so dark she couldn’t tell. So it happens, especially at night.

So tired of ignorance like this .... sonar systems were completely different from what they are now from 23 fucking years ago ..... (excuse my language adventures with purpose) not only that cops only have little information when it comes to a missing person case... when the case goes cold it gets very hard for anyone to get answers it's not the polices fault bc they have more cases coming in daily of missing people or other cases that have to be attended to as well
@@coryvallad7578 they forgot and stopped trying. that is what happened. You act like they were in the stone ages too. And the cops probably had more access to info than the random volunteers.
Okay, so I'm not saying AWP doesn't deserve credit for finding the car cuz they do...but...they are not a "non-profit" since Jared literally makes a profit off of donations and selling merch and they do not have a 501(c)(3) status. "A nonprofit organization is one that doesn’t intend to make a profit", so they can't be classified as a "non-profit" group, they are volunteers who make money.
@@brokenginger1857 some people are saying Jared is greedy I don't knock what he's doing he's still helping people and found a lane I and they seem very genuine but some people saying he's greedy and doesn't pay the team I would be upset at that... if its a genuine thing they should all get paid the same and if they truly care money wouldn't be a issue and split it equally while investing in whatever tech they need.
@@melistasy they have a TH-cam channel . They are such good guys and they have a wonderful and respectful way to work. I really enjoy watching how they work.
I haven't been following them long. But their a good bunch of people. Sometimes cops and others give them a hard time. I pray from now on. That they help and stop hindering them. None are perfect. But their trying! Whether they know it or not. God is guiding them to do what they do. And having some as well! God's blessings in keeping them safe! And financially going! Amen and Amen!
Adventures with purpose has found so many people in their vehicles underwater. I follow them and love to see when they find peoples loved ones. Hats off to these brave and amazing men!!
I am a subscriber to Adventures with Purpose. To see them in my home state was unbelievable. I am so very grateful for these guys and their mission. Prayers for the family and the team. God bless
My deepest condolences to Samantha Hopper and her children’s family and friends. Adventure With Purpose another remarkable job in locating underwater missing persons.I remember when Jared located his first missing underwater person. These mission are so important to the families in finding answers. 🙏♥️
The Adventures With Purpose crew take time out of thier own lives multiple times in a year, for a 6 weeks at a time. Load up an RV and trailer get a list of people who have asked for help locating missing persons. So far this trip out they have located 11. These guys need medals for what they do. My condolences and prayers go out to all the families they have helped and brought closure to.
AWP, you gentlemen are amazing. You definitely helped this family have closure. The police couldn’t do what you did, and for that you all should be praised and every state and cold cases should know who you are. RIP to the mother and her two babies❤️❤️❤️.
And watching their TH-cam channel, some of these officials can be pretty darn rude or defensive at times. Especially when AWP do all the hard yards for them. They should learn to give them the respect they deserve and work together.
Absolutely! Some of the law enforcement officials are truly appreciative, and others are outright ridiculous with their egos...quite embarrassing. I love how AWP sticks by the families, especially when it's obvious that police are not validating their situation.
To the families and friends of Samantha Hopper , I'm sorry for your losses , may they RIP . A big TY to Jared , Doug , Jacob , and all those that help in this recovery .
@@mikekellum6238 then they could really employee more people that know what to do instead of being defensively at someone capable of helping them just because they are jealous that they didn't do their best, it's always "they have a lot of others things to do too" but never about how could of just worked with other people like adventure for a purpose team any sooner to retrieve the missing persons body, it doesn't take that much time with how much money they have from tax.
Years ago during the Summer in the 70’s, there was a young man in his 20’s who was on his way to work and went missing. There was no word or sightings of him. It wasn’t until several months later his car was discovered upside down in a river along the highway where he traveled. They concluded that on that day, there was a flash flood that only lasted a short time, and with the Summer heat, everything then dried up, but never thought to look along the road since there was no sigh s of an accident. They felt he must have been blinded by the intensity of the rain, his car skidded off the road and landed upside down where he drowned. Also because it the high brush, his car went unseen until the Winter when the brush died off. I always wondered if they looked hard enough for him and how awful it had to be for his family.
@@lukeramirez868 true.. so many times when I passed that spot where his car was found, I can see how it was overlooked for so long with all the vegetation growing around the area.
It's crazy how the laws in these towns never give AWP Credit. Amazing group of men doing wonderful things bringing families closer.. thank you AWP, Much love and blessings to you
This is so sad. God bless the family & huge thank you to the divers who helped find them and bring closure. Samantha and her 2 kids can rest peacefully. Condolences to her other daughter and her entire family🙏🏾
Did he say "about an hour into our search, we found Samantha and her baby"? 1:29 , yep, he sure did. 23 years of police investigation with zero progress vs. 'about an hour' . . . wow, just wow.
You know politics are involved right..law enforcement just can't go or have the means as adventure with a purpose..Do YOU KNOW HM PPL.GO MISSING A YEAR? AND WITH DEFUNDING THE POLICE CRAP IS GONNA GET ALOT WORSE..Pray to God ur love one doesn't need law enforcement bc ur not gonna be around 24/7 anything can happen..
It's about having the right equipment and the experience and expertise to use it properly. These guys at AWP have both and most police departments have neither
@@brokenchurchgirl1437 Thank you for saying what I was about to say. Not knowing how to properly analyze what you are viewing makes a world of difference. AWP crew have said so themselves. They have the experience to locate these crash sites but it took them a good deal of time to get that. They use their skills often. LEO's can't just dedicate someone to one job like that and how often do locals disappear like that as well. That's why LEO's should not get upset when the guys who do this on a regular basis show up and find their missing people for them. Its not a poke at you, its an assist in closing a case that's long overdue.
@@HashiAkitaPuppy police departments have pretty big budgets too. They can afford robotic police dogs but cant afford some decent fish finders or any sonar equipment for that matter. They can afford to pay out millions in settlements every year for their poor behavior but they can not afford the equipment or training to do their jobs properly. Yeah... Something isnt right when a bunch if you tubers are solving missing persons cases and they are just sitting there doing nothing.
Chad, anyone who has watched a single video over the last several months can see the level of dedication you have. You and Jolene keep doing what you do !!
Can we even imagine looking for a love one and driving by for hours, day's months and years? To find out they were close by all those times. I'm glad they were found and the family has peace. Job well done !
Adventures with purpose also recently recovered two high school kids who went missing 20 years ago. Once it was found the father said he had fished right over that spot many times. That has to be hard knowing you were within 20 feet of your son so many times over the years.
One would think to check ALL bodies of water, cliffs, ravines etc. FIRST in a given area of patrol and extend to other counties. Better late than never.
visibility was about 6 inches. That many years ago who knows what if any sonar equipment was available. The police could only do so much. AWP has the newest side scanning sonar and use it a lot, so have the experience
Also, the police had to search everywhere they could with the manpower/budget they had at the time. AWP only had to devote their resources to that one specific case for as long as took to solve it. 23 years ago, local PD would have have absolutely nothing even remotely close to AWP’s equipment. They best they could provide would be out of state dive teams or volunteers.
Clearly they went off the road and into the river. That's how a vehicle gets from the road and into the river. Whether it was intentional or accidental, whole other concern they might investigate, maybe. Also, God (if it exists) watched the whole thing unfold and did nothing. Also didn't help them find the vehicle 23 years ago. Almost like either 1) there is no god (most likely) or 2) that god just doesn't care at all about the crazy mutant apes driving around.
It always seems like Redditors, or other people volunteering figure out mysteries a whole lot quicker than the actual police/detectives these days. I'm glad the family and friends of the family will get some closure.
You do realize the machinery they used to locate them car was not available when she went missing? The military may have had it but most Police/Sheriffs Depts can't afford a lot of the equipment. Much if it is a matter if State & City funding.
Private citizens and private detectives aren't bound by the same rules and regulations that law enforcement are. If they don't follow procedure to the letter cases get thrown out & judges & juries deny trials. It's really as simple as that. Plus most police/Sheriff Depts are not as big as we all think. I know many cities that have only 2 cops in duty for cities of 60,000- 90,000 people. I wish people could see what kinds of pressure they are under. Even super large cities have small Depts die to financial cutbacks. It's really bad. There also lab is if equipment, jail cells, jailors, electronics, bullet proof vests. I know officers who have to buy their own. They are like $700.00.
This family now has closure...God Bless them, you don't want to find your loved ones deceased but the closure is needed to heal....they now know that their loved ones were not taken by an act of violence from another. Adventures with purpose are truly a group of Angels...God Bless then all for what they do to help bring closure to these families💖💖💖
The big question is, ‘was this missing car found along one of the routes this woman was supposed to be heading in?’ If yes, then there is simply no excuse whatsoever that police failed to find this submerged car. This volunteer group found the car within ONE hour of searching! The authorities have Lots of questions to answer to. But as usual with these events, I doubt anyone will ever be held accountable - even IF a criminal cover up was involved. Did she accidentally drive off the road into that creek? There would certainly have been skid marks, tire tracks and broken brush at the time. Did she commit suicide-murder? The same evidence of her car running off the road would have been found 20 years ago. Was she murdered and all the tracks covered up? That’s most likely imo.
Adventures with Purpose and Chaos Divers (a fellow volunteer dive team they teamed up with for this case) just dropped their videos of the search and discovery. Her car was found right off a bridge on a route she usually took, it looks like she may have lost control of the car for some reason and went off the bridge.
There is a YT video of this search and rescue. The video shows Jared speaking to family (the victim's mom, daughter and a girlfriend) and mostly the mom and friend help Jared retrace the victim's steps on day she went missing and they also identify the roads the victim always took when driving from point A to point B.
Always be careful and hyper aware of the road. Driving is no time to be complacent and or too relaxed. Think about what you will do if a squirrel or deer jump out, or if a car swerves toward you. Think about what is on the side of the road and what will happen if you were to drive off. It might be that the safest option for you is to hit whatever jumps out suddenly, rather than spinning off into deep water. If you are aware of potential dangers, you can avoid them before they come whipping onto the road--I'm talking about other cars who show signs of recklessness, which can be avoided oftentimes, before they are in the perfect spot to run you off the road. Sadness and blessings for the victims.
In essence be a defensive driver. Always imagine u are the only sane person on the road and that everyone else is crazy that way you are prepared for whatever happens on the road. Condolences to her family.
Deer: I did have 1 deer hit the side of my van in living at Lake Travis for 23 years. Most times don't panic if you have a deer beside your vehicle. Also, if your car does run into a river or creek? Roll down your window before the car gets submerged. Keep a knife in console, in case you might need to cut your way out of the seatbelts. Use the handle of knife if you have to bust your way out of the window. Don't just let yourself drown! I think God put us here to do certain things, and we can't get it done if we allow ourselves to be killed one way or other.
Wow... this is so sad... These guys from "Adventures with purpose" are helping dozens of people with missing loved ones. I follow them on you Tube, and they're bringing closure to a lot of people with missing family members...Great job guys.. Blessings 🙌 😇🙏🙏
Haha I KNEW it was going to be another "Adventures with Purpose" case! They're seriously on a ROLL! Finding people missing for _decades,_ and giving families needed answers, if not closure, when the respective local Police and emergency authorities have been unwilling or simply unable to, despite their more consistent, significant budgets set aside for JUST such situations! Everybody should be supporting " AWP, " it's worth every penny and ounce of time and effort just spreading the word. 👍
RIP my condolences may the Most High gives their families strength healing peace prosperity protection and provide for their families in his holy name amen 🙏❤
My heart goes out to the family, but tearful and glad they have closure on their missing loved ones and can find some sense of healing. Thanks to this group of volunteers who found them.💜🙏🏼
I follow these ppl on TH-cam. They are extremely humble and respectful ppl who donate their time and efforts to bring closure to families who have been looking for lost loved ones for yrs. It is an emotional roller coaster ride following AWP as they work to solve these cold cases. In a lot of cases the law enforcement agencies are very appreciative and helpful but sadly some get very butt hurt and are complete jerks to these ppl. AWP have teamed up with other divers and they are awesome as well. Exploring with Nug, Depths of history and chaos divers. May God richly bless them in everything they put their hand to.
@Alexis Lagrone Reason you doubt? Just a hopeful thought? Or is there information to show that it certainly was not murder/suicide? I hope it wasn't purposeful either. It breaks my heart hearing the awful truth behind some accidents.
These people are most likely with God! Having the time's of his eternity! I call that not an ending. But an incredible new beginning! Only happiness and joy! Absolutely no pain! Joy beyond imagination! Incredible mind boggling overwhelming love of God! That's GOD! No sad ending! Their going to be missed. But their doing incredibly great! See it God's way! Not crappy doom and gloom! God bless you all with HIM!
I love Adventure with a purpose wonderful people. God Bless them for all they do to HELP families. Glad to see you found them. Very sad Too. Prayers for all.
Adventures with a purpose has helped solved over 12 missing persons cases. It’s not just them exploring with nug. And others have actually started working together to coordinate places. It’s absolutely amazing.
Absolutely stellar work, Adventures with Purpose!! As for the local police in that area... well, everything pretty much speaks for itself. I'm hopeful the family members and friends of the missing persons can finally have some sense of closure and find some peace.
This crime solving outfit that has found lots of cars in lakes or ponds, etc., etc., etc., and has helped close and solve a lot of cases is so wonderful!!! I’ve watched quite a lot of their or your other TH-cam videos about these cases! Keep up the good work! You guys are awesome, and ought to be given an award!!!
THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TO MY STATE AND HELPING THESE PEOPLE I WANT YOUR SHOW ALL THE TIME Y'ALL ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DIVING FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THEIR FAMILIES THAT ARE MISSING
Way To Go AWP you guys have been such a Blessing to so many families and helping them get answers so happy I found you on TH-cam!! I enjoy watching your videos even if I do cry my eyes out like i did when I watched the video of you finding Samantha and her babies. Keep up the good work
Ive watched this team with Jared, who founded Adventures with Purpose. Started out very small, with their little boat, heavy duty magnet and sonar. Soon they realized their hobby found a purpose when they began to find and report the cars they found underwater. These cars would belong to missing people! Cold cases solved and family members could finally rest. Word of mouth begin to spread and families began to call for help. They never charge, people around the world give to help their cause. If youve had family members go missing in their car, give them a call, you will get results one way or the other. Yes we found the car, or no its not in that lake so we will try this one. Pray for them always.

@@coryvallad7578 they forgot and stopped trying. that is what happened. You act like they were in the stone ages too. And the cops probably had more access to info than the random volunteers.
I wonder what the corpses looked like ?
@@dhop2821 I'd like to buy a real full sized skeleton of a 30 year old attractive women to hang beside my bed.
Adventures with a Purpose is one of the best organizations!!!
I love them
You are wrong, watch Dan's videos about why he left. Jared is a monster.
@@HashiAkitaPuppy 😆🤣😂
Okay, so I'm not saying AWP doesn't deserve credit for finding the car cuz they do...but...they are not a "non-profit" since Jared literally makes a profit off of donations and selling merch and they do not have a 501(c)(3) status. "A nonprofit organization is one that doesn’t intend to make a profit", so they can't be classified as a "non-profit" group, they are volunteers who make money.
@@brokenginger1857 some people are saying Jared is greedy I don't knock what he's doing he's still helping people and found a lane I and they seem very genuine but some people saying he's greedy and doesn't pay the team I would be upset at that... if its a genuine thing they should all get paid the same and if they truly care money wouldn't be a issue and split it equally while investing in whatever tech they need.
I’ve been following AWP for years now. More people need to know about their services & dedication so spread the word!
Where can I follow them?
@@melistasy they have a TH-cam channel . They are such good guys and they have a wonderful and respectful way to work. I really enjoy watching how they work.
They are the best
Agreed
I haven't been following them long. But their a good bunch of people. Sometimes cops and others give them a hard time. I pray from now on. That they help and stop hindering them. None are perfect. But their trying! Whether they know it or not. God is guiding them to do what they do. And having some as well! God's blessings in keeping them safe! And financially going! Amen and Amen!
Adventures with purpose has found so many people in their vehicles underwater. I follow them and love to see when they find peoples loved ones. Hats off to these brave and amazing men!!
I am a subscriber to Adventures with Purpose. To see them in my home state was unbelievable. I am so very grateful for these guys and their mission. Prayers for the family and the team. God bless
It took roughly 1 hour to find that family by that awesome team. Meanwhile 20+ years of police "attempt" of finding them.
From behind a desk, shuffling papers and making a few phone calls 😒
If you are your family don’t make National news you and your family are totally on your own with looking for answers for your love ones….
Police typically most disapparences are intentional and not criminal.
Unless a beautiful child goes missing then bingo the hunt is on!
I guess the police were too preoccupied with all those grannies having garage sales without the proper permits. That's their real priority!
@@tomroberts9684 And weaponizing alphabet agencies against us preppers and parents who actually have the nerve to attend school board meetings.
My deepest condolences to Samantha Hopper and her children’s family and friends. Adventure With Purpose another remarkable job in locating underwater missing persons.I remember when Jared located his first missing underwater person. These mission are so important to the families in finding answers. 🙏♥️
Word 👍
One of the more worthwhile channels on TH-cam, AWP.
Yes! I'm subscribed to their TH-cam channel, they are amazing & happy the family has a little closure. ❤🙏❤🙏
@@twstf8905 totally agree
Thanks to Chaos Divers as well. It was Jacob who actually found the car.
@@angiebby1122 same, they really are amazing and so caring.
The Adventures With Purpose crew take time out of thier own lives multiple times in a year, for a 6 weeks at a time. Load up an RV and trailer get a list of people who have asked for help locating missing persons. So far this trip out they have located 11. These guys need medals for what they do. My condolences and prayers go out to all the families they have helped and brought closure to.
AWP, you gentlemen are amazing. You definitely helped this family have closure.
The police couldn’t do what you did, and for that you all should be praised and every state and cold cases should know who you are. RIP to the mother and her two babies❤️❤️❤️.
And watching their TH-cam channel, some of these officials can be pretty darn rude or defensive at times. Especially when AWP do all the hard yards for them. They should learn to give them the respect they deserve and work together.
Absolutely! Some of the law enforcement officials are truly appreciative, and others are outright ridiculous with their egos...quite embarrassing. I love how AWP sticks by the families, especially when it's obvious that police are not validating their situation.
To the families and friends of Samantha Hopper , I'm sorry for your losses , may they RIP . A big TY to Jared , Doug , Jacob , and all those that help in this recovery .
These folks had one case, the police have a gazillion.
@@mikekellum6238 yeah we can see on TH-cam just how busy they are and what they're doing with that time!!!
@@mikekellum6238 they have solved double digit cases last year
@@mikekellum6238 then they could really employee more people that know what to do instead of being defensively at someone capable of helping them just because they are jealous that they didn't do their best, it's always "they have a lot of others things to do too" but never about how could of just worked with other people like adventure for a purpose team any sooner to retrieve the missing persons body, it doesn't take that much time with how much money they have from tax.
Police: 23 years, missing
AWP: found in 1 hour...
lol
These men care and have a good heart. God be with them and bless them daily.
Adventures with a purpose are so awesome, I love watching their videos and how they help so many families!
Years ago during the Summer in the 70’s, there was a young man in his 20’s who was on his way to work and went missing. There was no word or sightings of him. It wasn’t until several months later his car was discovered upside down in a river along the highway where he traveled. They concluded that on that day, there was a flash flood that only lasted a short time, and with the Summer heat, everything then dried up, but never thought to look along the road since there was no sigh s of an accident. They felt he must have been blinded by the intensity of the rain, his car skidded off the road and landed upside down where he drowned. Also because it the high brush, his car went unseen until the Winter when the brush died off. I always wondered if they looked hard enough for him and how awful it had to be for his family.
they never found the car?
@@teenyverse7707 Not until that Winter.
What a story 😳😕 but one can only imagine how it really happened.
@@lukeramirez868 true.. so many times when I passed that spot where his car was found, I can see how it was overlooked for so long with all the vegetation growing around the area.
So sad ,smh
It's crazy how the laws in these towns never give AWP Credit. Amazing group of men doing wonderful things bringing families closer.. thank you AWP, Much love and blessings to you
That’s what got me so pissed about this report. AWP is a part of her story now and they called them “a group of volunteers”
This is so sad. God bless the family & huge thank you to the divers who helped find them and bring closure. Samantha and her 2 kids can rest peacefully. Condolences to her other daughter and her entire family🙏🏾
This story is sad. At the same time it is good to know there are men out there to doing good deeds like this. And they helped a family find closure.
Did he say "about an hour into our search, we found Samantha and her baby"? 1:29 , yep, he sure did. 23 years of police investigation with zero progress vs. 'about an hour' . . . wow, just wow.
You know politics are involved right..law enforcement just can't go or have the means as adventure with a purpose..Do YOU KNOW HM PPL.GO MISSING A YEAR? AND WITH DEFUNDING THE POLICE CRAP IS GONNA GET ALOT WORSE..Pray to God ur love one doesn't need law enforcement bc ur not gonna be around 24/7 anything can happen..
Not saying they did it but damn that was quick
It's about having the right equipment and the experience and expertise to use it properly. These guys at AWP have both and most police departments have neither
@@brokenchurchgirl1437 Thank you for saying what I was about to say. Not knowing how to properly analyze what you are viewing makes a world of difference. AWP crew have said so themselves. They have the experience to locate these crash sites but it took them a good deal of time to get that. They use their skills often. LEO's can't just dedicate someone to one job like that and how often do locals disappear like that as well. That's why LEO's should not get upset when the guys who do this on a regular basis show up and find their missing people for them. Its not a poke at you, its an assist in closing a case that's long overdue.
Look how effective AWP is. Now look how ineffective the current system is.
Rightttt
When u hire the rejects noone else will.
U get the police dept.
Look at how much money Jared rakes in and how he's always asking for more while exploiting volunteers. Checkout Dan's videos about why he left AWP.
So you’re saying, Barney Fife can’t handle the Job?
@@HashiAkitaPuppy police departments have pretty big budgets too. They can afford robotic police dogs but cant afford some decent fish finders or any sonar equipment for that matter. They can afford to pay out millions in settlements every year for their poor behavior but they can not afford the equipment or training to do their jobs properly. Yeah... Something isnt right when a bunch if you tubers are solving missing persons cases and they are just sitting there doing nothing.
Chad, anyone who has watched a single video over the last several months can see the level of dedication you have.
You and Jolene keep doing what you do !!
Thank you for your service… every state should have a group as dedicated as these men. RIP, and my condolences to the family
Can we even imagine looking for a love one and driving by for hours, day's months and years? To find out they were close by all those times. I'm glad they were found and the family has peace. Job well done !
Because back then nobody cared enough to look.
Adventures with purpose also recently recovered two high school kids who went missing 20 years ago. Once it was found the father said he had fished right over that spot many times. That has to be hard knowing you were within 20 feet of your son so many times over the years.
@@tomboard1 It was Jeremy Sides ( Exploring with Nug ) , that found them , not AWP .
@@mpshotattwice3253 Yeah. I messed that up.
One would think to check ALL bodies of water, cliffs, ravines etc. FIRST in a given area of patrol and extend to other counties. Better late than never.
visibility was about 6 inches. That many years ago who knows what if any sonar equipment was available. The police could only do so much. AWP has the newest side scanning sonar and use it a lot, so have the experience
@@johnsebar7807 yep alot of organizations have old or outdated equipment and can't afford to buy new as its expensive.
TWO-legged pigs are NOT known for their intelligence.
Also, the police had to search everywhere they could with the manpower/budget they had at the time.
AWP only had to devote their resources to that one specific case for as long as took to solve it.
23 years ago, local PD would have have absolutely nothing even remotely close to AWP’s equipment. They best they could provide would be out of state dive teams or volunteers.
@@johnsebar7807 Yes this is true. Technology has come along way.
mad respect for those volunteers. putting closure on the family after 23 years!
What a beautiful calling. God bless these wonderful volunteers ❤️
She probably went off of the road into the river. God bless her and her children and the family she left behind now they can get closure.
Yes, isn't god wonderful?
Clearly they went off the road and into the river. That's how a vehicle gets from the road and into the river. Whether it was intentional or accidental, whole other concern they might investigate, maybe. Also, God (if it exists) watched the whole thing unfold and did nothing. Also didn't help them find the vehicle 23 years ago. Almost like either 1) there is no god (most likely) or 2) that god just doesn't care at all about the crazy mutant apes driving around.

You sit in judgment of God? Hast thou become GOD???

@@bigalsnow8199 I see no reason to judge a fictional character.

Hats off (again, many times over case, after case) to Adventures with Purpose! Wonderful, wonderful people. Thank you for everything you're doing.
God bless the organization Adventures with a Purpose. Great job!!!!
It always seems like Redditors, or other people volunteering figure out mysteries a whole lot quicker than the actual police/detectives these days. I'm glad the family and friends of the family will get some closure.
Do u think cops were the smartest in their class
Or the dummies that had no idea what else to do to earn a check?
You do realize the machinery they used to locate them car was not available when she went missing? The military may have had it but most Police/Sheriffs Depts can't afford a lot of the equipment. Much if it is a matter if State & City funding.
Thats because they fully focus on one case at time and the police have tons of cases .
Private citizens and private detectives aren't bound by the same rules and regulations that law enforcement are. If they don't follow procedure to the letter cases get thrown out & judges & juries deny trials. It's really as simple as that. Plus most police/Sheriff Depts are not as big as we all think. I know many cities that have only 2 cops in duty for cities of 60,000- 90,000 people. I wish people could see what kinds of pressure they are under. Even super large cities have small Depts die to financial cutbacks. It's really bad. There also lab is if equipment, jail cells, jailors, electronics, bullet proof vests. I know officers who have to buy their own. They are like $700.00.
Individuals aren't limited to laws and other protocol.
Condolences to the family. This makes you wonder, every time you look out at a body of water, what might be laying beneath the surface....
That’s all I think while driving around the rural outskirts surrounding Vegas. I wonder how many bodies are out there…..
These 'Adventures With Purpose' people are doing amazing work to give families closure.
Thank you Jared and your crew! Y’all are doing amazing helping all of the families find their loved ones.
The group is amazing especially all the closure they have brought to so many families
This family now has closure...God Bless them, you don't want to find your loved ones deceased but the closure is needed to heal....they now know that their loved ones were not taken by an act of violence from another. Adventures with purpose are truly a group of Angels...God Bless then all for what they do to help bring closure to these families💖💖💖
Hi nice comment friend how are you doing 👍🌹
How are you doing?
I've been following these guys for so long and they have done so many amazing things. AWP ur amazing
Thank you so much to these volunteers for helping the family.
The big question is, ‘was this missing car found along one of the routes this woman was supposed to be heading in?’ If yes, then there is simply no excuse whatsoever that police failed to find this submerged car. This volunteer group found the car within ONE hour of searching! The authorities have Lots of questions to answer to. But as usual with these events, I doubt anyone will ever be held accountable - even IF a criminal cover up was involved. Did she accidentally drive off the road into that creek? There would certainly have been skid marks, tire tracks and broken brush at the time. Did she commit suicide-murder? The same evidence of her car running off the road would have been found 20 years ago. Was she murdered and all the tracks covered up? That’s most likely imo.
Adventures with Purpose and Chaos Divers (a fellow volunteer dive team they teamed up with for this case) just dropped their videos of the search and discovery. Her car was found right off a bridge on a route she usually took, it looks like she may have lost control of the car for some reason and went off the bridge.
@@phoenixofmetal thanks for the info 👍
There is a YT video of this search and rescue. The video shows Jared speaking to family (the victim's mom, daughter and a girlfriend) and mostly the mom and friend help Jared retrace the victim's steps on day she went missing and they also identify the roads the victim always took when driving from point A to point B.
If only she was as good at driving as she was at making babies. Family says they didn’t want to get in car with her driving.
@@rubyoro0 Oh no, that’s even sadder that her family members knew about her problems and were forewarned this could happen.
It seems like the public does better police work than the police. Hmmmm
That's what the public needs to do is take control.
The police just look to bust people of color and throw them in jail so people can get paid
Budget cuts. Now get back to work slacker
Gots to bees watchins dem coloreds
We're at point where we're policing ourselves and each other. Out of necessity.
Always be careful and hyper aware of the road. Driving is no time to be complacent and or too relaxed. Think about what you will do if a squirrel or deer jump out, or if a car swerves toward you. Think about what is on the side of the road and what will happen if you were to drive off. It might be that the safest option for you is to hit whatever jumps out suddenly, rather than spinning off into deep water. If you are aware of potential dangers, you can avoid them before they come whipping onto the road--I'm talking about other cars who show signs of recklessness, which can be avoided oftentimes, before they are in the perfect spot to run you off the road. Sadness and blessings for the victims.
In essence be a defensive driver. Always imagine u are the only sane person on the road and that everyone else is crazy that way you are prepared for whatever happens on the road. Condolences to her family.
Deer: I did have 1 deer hit the side of my van in living at Lake Travis for 23 years. Most times don't panic if you have a deer beside your vehicle.
Also, if your car does run into a river or creek? Roll down your window before the car gets submerged. Keep a knife in console, in case you might need to cut your way out of the seatbelts. Use the handle of knife if you have to bust your way out of the window. Don't just let yourself drown! I think God put us here to do certain things, and we can't get it done if we allow ourselves to be killed one way or other.
Thank God for Adventures with Purpose!!! They have found so many!!!
Adventures with Purpose are wonderful! They help families and also help clean up waterways and rivers. So glad they were able to help another family ❤
Those guys who found them are so damn awesome, thank you so much for doin this for these families missing loved ones!
That’s awesome. Thank you for recovering the body. I’m sure the family is grateful and they finally have closure.
Those men do wonderful work. They have brought resolution to those left behind. God bless them.
Wow... this is so sad...
These guys from "Adventures with purpose" are helping dozens of people with missing loved ones. I follow them on you Tube, and they're bringing closure to a lot of people with missing family members...Great job guys.. Blessings 🙌 😇🙏🙏
Haha I KNEW it was going to be another "Adventures with Purpose" case!
They're seriously on a ROLL! Finding people missing for _decades,_ and giving families needed answers, if not closure, when the respective local Police and emergency authorities have been unwilling or simply unable to, despite their more consistent, significant budgets set aside for JUST such situations!
Everybody should be supporting " AWP, " it's worth every penny and ounce of time and effort just spreading the word. 👍
Adventures with purpose are amazing group of people doing what others can't or won't bringing closure for family's
Rest in peace
Mom is so in peace right now. With the pain but finally she can rest as her daughter, and grand daughters
God bless all the souls
Wow.....these guys are pretty amazing!! So glad you found them foe their family!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
RIP my condolences may the Most High gives their families strength healing peace prosperity protection and provide for their families in his holy name amen 🙏❤
This is when ppl really love their jobs and their mission in life. Thanks for finding them
My heart goes out to the family, but tearful and glad they have closure on their missing loved ones and can find some sense of healing. Thanks to this group of volunteers who found them.💜🙏🏼
I follow these ppl on TH-cam. They are extremely humble and respectful ppl who donate their time and efforts to bring closure to families who have been looking for lost loved ones for yrs. It is an emotional roller coaster ride following AWP as they work to solve these cold cases. In a lot of cases the law enforcement agencies are very appreciative and helpful but sadly some get very butt hurt and are complete jerks to these ppl. AWP have teamed up with other divers and they are awesome as well. Exploring with Nug, Depths of history and chaos divers. May God richly bless them in everything they put their hand to.
Goes to show how hard the police tries to actually find ppl.
Awp thank you for your dedication in searching till you find these lost people. God bless you all
Adventures with Purpose is amazing. They've found so many missing people. Finally family was able to get some answers.
Amazing what people are gifted to do, what a blessing for those families.
Awww and she was pregnant. They must've been so terrified. This is truly a sad story.
Murder/suicide possible?
@Alexis Lagrone Reason you doubt? Just a hopeful thought? Or is there information to show that it certainly was not murder/suicide? I hope it wasn't purposeful either. It breaks my heart hearing the awful truth behind some accidents.
@Alexis Lagrone Check out Susan Smith. Haunting story. I wish I brought good news to you.
I love how these guys solve all these cases in days that took law enforcement years if not decades. Keep up the good work gentleman. Rip to the lost.
Sending prayers for her and her children and her family. Can't imagine the pain
She has a surviving daughter. She dropped her off with grandma before the accident.
Condolences to the family. Adventures with purpose does it yet again! Thank you for helping bring closure to families. You guys are the greatest!
Poor family. Not a happy ending but at least the uncertainty is over with the findings and can bring closure. RIP.
These people are most likely with God! Having the time's of his eternity! I call that not an ending. But an incredible new beginning! Only happiness and joy! Absolutely no pain! Joy beyond imagination! Incredible mind boggling overwhelming love of God! That's GOD! No sad ending! Their going to be missed. But their doing incredibly great! See it God's way! Not crappy doom and gloom! God bless you all with HIM!
God bless this poor mom and her children 🙏🏻💔😢 Well done Adventures with Purpose, once again. 👏🏻👏🏻
I watch these guys channel. They're very thorough and compassionate. Thank you guys, for giving this family the closure they need...
Adventures with Purpose is so amazing! They help to fine these missing people so the families have closer! God bless them all!
I love Adventure with a purpose wonderful people. God Bless them for all they do to HELP families. Glad to see you found them. Very sad Too. Prayers for all.
Adventure with a Purpose is doing an amazing job, thank you
Adventures with a purpose has helped solved over 12 missing persons cases. It’s not just them exploring with nug. And others have actually started working together to coordinate places. It’s absolutely amazing.
It's Adventures With Purpose , ( not adventures with a purpose , that's a camp ground )
So heartbreaking.
I'm grateful the family finally has the answers they've been longing for.
Prayers to them for healing. ❤
Absolutely stellar work, Adventures with Purpose!! As for the local police in that area... well, everything pretty much speaks for itself. I'm hopeful the family members and friends of the missing persons can finally have some sense of closure and find some peace.
Oh, my god, it's really painful, my all prayers goes to the family who lost this woman and her child
Miraculous... God Bless those volunteers for delivering closure to the family.
God Bless you all for the closure you give to the loved ones who have waited so long.
You guys are wonderful for what you do for families and communities ❤️ God bless you and keep you safe for His glory ❤️❤️❤️

This crime solving outfit that has found lots of cars in lakes or ponds, etc., etc., etc., and has helped close and solve a lot of cases is so wonderful!!! I’ve watched quite a lot of their or your other TH-cam videos about these cases! Keep up the good work! You guys are awesome, and ought to be given an award!!!
THANK YOU GUYS FOR COMING TO MY STATE AND HELPING THESE PEOPLE I WANT YOUR SHOW ALL THE TIME Y'ALL ARE REALLY GOOD AT WHAT YOU DO KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DIVING FOR PEOPLE TO FIND THEIR FAMILIES THAT ARE MISSING
Our condolences to the family of these loved ones.
Great job as usual AWP!
AWP.
Embarrassing police depts everywhere they go.
We need more people like this group of guys.❤️💪🏼
Way To Go AWP you guys have been such a Blessing to so many families and helping them get answers so happy I found you on TH-cam!! I enjoy watching your videos even if I do cry my eyes out like i did when I watched the video of you finding Samantha and her babies. Keep up the good work
Bless these people who took the time to track the missing people.
Great job AWP! Thank you for finding these people, giving closure, AND putting these cops on blast. This should have happened 20 years ago!
Wow ‼ thank you so much for your dedication guys! You are Heros👏🏾👏🏾‼‼
Adventures With Purpose" are awesome men 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 Thank you guys. 🙏
Adventures with Purpose has a TH-cam channel. Hats off to these volunteers.
I've been watching this groups video's "Adventures with purpose" for a few years now! Great group doing great things for people.
Ive watched this team with Jared, who founded Adventures with Purpose. Started out very small, with their little boat, heavy duty magnet and sonar. Soon they realized their hobby found a purpose when they began to find and report the cars they found underwater. These cars would belong to missing people! Cold cases solved and family members could finally rest. Word of mouth begin to spread and families began to call for help. They never charge, people around the world give to help their cause. If youve had family members go missing in their car, give them a call, you will get results one way or the other. Yes we found the car, or no its not in that lake so we will try this one. Pray for them always.
Adventure with a purpose has done it again ❤️❤️❤️🥰🙏 we need more people like them who would go beyond.
