Wednesday the 26th we had a drowning in Neosho Mo at lime kiln . She was 12 yrs and her name was Kaylin Brown . A young man of 34yrs dove in to try to save and almost drowned himself . He is in critical condition . They are still searching . We could use your help . If you would contact our local people department .
I'm a fire Captain in Michigan and I run these kind of operations in my area. If you guys ever show up in my neck of the woods, you'll have full cooperation of our dive team, and I will PERSONALLY put you guys in charge of the operation. If someone from the county or state police or something show up and try to pull rank, they'll have to deal with me, and nobody is stupid enough to piss off a Chief.
So refreshing to read this comment and show that the few bad apples we see on here don't compare to the first responders that welcome as much help to get the job done!
@@annawerner1 another fellow Michigander here (a troll) and was thinking the same thing! It’s good to know so many in charge are more willing to work with these gentleman These days!🤍
I’m a cop. Part of being a good cop is knowing when to ask for help. There is no shame in it. That’s how you become effective. The time that was wasted here is shameful. All over ego
We need good people to be good cops it's called public service for a reason... Don't sit on the sidelines and complain get involved this whole channel proves anyone can make a difference
I agree, gosh, it certainly doesn't make a person feel very confident that they even know what they're doing. Thank you the purpose team for finding Mr.Lopez and bringing closure to his family members.
That's not at all how it happened, they simply want to avoid civilians being in their scene. It's the same as having a random tow operator go into an accident with a body. They had them come in afterwards because they needed help.
@@JimmyMcneil They literally said they couldn't find it and came over and asked them to hook the line up to it AGAIN *that they already had on the car*
I’m glad to hear the Sheriff apologize. I know this is “their job” but for them to make you remove your marker when you’re on the vehicle just seemed petty. You always are so gracious and professional with the people who can be rude.
That was ridiculous. That sheriff should be voted out. Had that been the Polk county sheriff they would have welcomed the help. Polk county Florida Sheriff Grady Judd for President.
and then having to come back and ask them to mark it again.....made fools of themselves. Let AWP just do their work and help, what's the harm in having outsiders help giving closure to families
@@yvettet7398 Because they wanted ALL of the glory! Doug removed the marker, and it took the sheriff almost 5 hours of diving and going nowhere to ask AWP to REMARK the car! 5 WASTED man hours. Ego's need to be left out of situations like these. I noticed Doug wasn't in the video much after, I imagine he was steaming pissed!
@Mark Anthony Between the support vehicles, boats, and all there equipment on scene I bet the big government had at least a few million dollars tied up. You can then add all the wages and charge out times for the people on the scene and there budget is astronomical. Jared and his team deserve a lot of credit for doing what they do very well and at a fraction of the cost.
They don’t the help bcause they want to look good for the community n look like hero’s unfortunately they not in my eyes it was Jared n AWP team that found him
The sad part is the authorities stating they knew where it was but they had left for lunch which says it all. Help should always be accepted esp when the equipment and experience speaks for itself!
@@meatisadelicacy There is no logic in that...If they really found the car,they would not move from that spot...That would be their priority at that moment...Logical thinking would be,if we go for lunch now maybe when we come back the body is fallen out of the car and we lose it....So no i dont belive they knew it was there before they went for lunch
@@meatisadelicacy I think the Flowing Waters is doubting the authorities would simply 'drive away' to take a lunch break if they HAD found the car. To put it another way, they're certainly allowed to take a lunch break, but it sounds like a lie when they return from the break, say they know where the car is, spend hours trying to find it, and then ask AWP to mark it again.
As has been stated many times before the pride on these officers is shameful. They were loud and clear that recovery of Antonio’s body was secondary to their image.
I agree. They probably just thought, too, that it was a group of TH-camrs just messing around for view. There's a lot of them, and a lot are doing stupid stuff.
"pride" yeah thats why they still asked for help after telling him that they didn't need their help. if they really had so much pride they wouldn't have asked for help.
May be pride, but could also be policy. It’s technically an accident scene and their department is the ones responsible for it and they don’t want any outside interference. But then they realized AWP is actually beneficial in locating and securing the vehicle. Not every police department is about their image.
I'm from here to, doesn't surprise me. But makes me asked also. MCSO in 2004 had an agency wide bet on who could get the most Marijuana possession tickets during the week of spring break, I was 18 and was thr designated driver & got pulled over and the told us all about it, they illegally searched my car, were physically and verbally abusive. And this isn't even close to my worst storied about Mult-Co. I am police supporter to and grind my gears when they abuse their power.
I'm glad they apoligized though. And they are always getting bad information and always have to be careful who is around them, so I am understanding on that part . But you can still show people respect.
Our Sherrif here in OR are usually pretty Stellar imo compared to others but I am open to adjusting my opinion…. Definitely disappointing to see how they were treated absolutely. At least there was a full apology at the end. This was such an awful accident this winter, just heartbreaking 🙏🏻
I admire the composure and professionalism you always show towards the authorities when they are not being so kind to you. Thank you for everything you do.
@@largeautomobile ego is valued more than doing the right thing. Selfishness over compassion. BUT I will say, it takes a man swallowing his ego to apologize, and is commendable.
I tweeted the sheriff's and told them they should reach out to you for some assistance. And someone tweeted me back that this isn't a "youtube" shoot or something along those lines and then no joke two hours later it was reported that you helped them recover. Thank you for what you do!
@@jazmyndebono4927 with hostility towards the police these days I can kind of understand. They want to help improve their image. What they don't realize is that it would help their image if they would work with groups like AWP. At least in my eyes it sends a message that they are willing to work with the public.
It really shouldn’t be a pissin’ contest. AWP lost quite a few points by throwing the authorities under the bus on camera (hilarious) , but to the family? Extremely poor taste. Nothing need to have been said- that the authorities came and asked for help- spoke volumes. Always take the high road gentlemen. Always take the high road...
@@differenttakethanmost I think you’re taking it too far. It was just a comment made out of confidence. Also, they are a team, it’s hype for the team. They’re good at what they do and they know it, and they proved it. They just want to help.
If they swallowed their pride for five seconds a lot of this would have been avoidable. This is about closure to start a healing process for the family, not a competition.
the culture and psychology of racism and white supremacy runs deep in the USA, it results in people being generally all around terrible people, especially the police.
@@networkedperson You definitely do not have much experience in life because you have no idea what you are talking about. You are acting no better than the officer that was being an ass.
Kanna You are 💯 percent right about them needed to swallow their pride. For the family & friend's to start healing process. It's a very hard & long road. My family's prayers are with this family and their friend's. I prayer for each one of most amazing volunteers on this team for their safety. With everything going on in the world. We are grateful for everyone who works so hard to solve all this missing cases. Their is a beautiful lady missing name Kathy Adams from Salina Kansas now for 28yrs and I still pray they find out what happened to her. It's a case very close to my heart.
If they don’t want your assistance, they should make damn sure they find what they’re looking for, embarrassing how they handle the situation, then don’t come up with anything. Thank you for the work you guys put in, need more people like y’all
they like clown now, work for nothing even cannot found lose people and the vehicle for year but this adventure on purpose found it in an hours. The ego and uselessness this cop have is beyond embarrassing
@@williammitchell4417 But by not accepting help from more qualified divers and searchers they prove themselves to be fools with overinflated egos. They looked plain rude and stupid here.
Jared, your professionalism continues to amaze me. I have seen so many Sheriffs be absolutely rude to you and your team and you always treat them with the utmost respect regardless. I was very disappointed in this sheriff at first, but it said a lot about him when he came and apologized and thanked you. You guys continue doing EXACTLY what you're doing. ❤️
Yes Jared, please keep doing exactly as you are! Love always prevails and brings disrespect to its knees❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✡️✝️ I was heartbroken when I saw you talk about IDAHO FALLS YOUNG MAN, just remember you are selfless, and G-d knows it! You resolved the case and my heart is happy you did, time heals the moms heart and may G-d bless her as she heals from her loss. Now she can lay him in the arms of G-D and healing will come. Thank you Jared, don’t you ever stop.., our family in Idaho supports and prays for all the good you have done for families, thank you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✡️
It’s funny how a lot of people were simply putting out there how some of the sheriffs have been less than kind, and you decide to have a public freak out about the fact that someone’s actions being less than favorable creates an assumption of someone being rude. I saw a comment earlier from an ex-police officer who talked about how a lot of these sheriffs and officers will be upset with these guys because of their egos.
@@brickcity9mm327 Making a mistake isn't putting a bandaid on a severed limb. It's a mistake. They apologized. Antonio's family is able to lay him to rest now because they all did the work to recover him. 🤷 Nobody's ego is the most important thing here. Recovering this man was. Not someone's attitude (which they apologized for) while under a stressful situation.
@@01wonderful "We are all aware that police in America [are] quite toxic, but the fact that he apologized is a really big step forward. Others would just arrest them on the spot and say ' they interfere with the recovery of a body'." You got at least part of this right. They COULD have arrested them, but they didn't. That's called discretionary power. And it would have been for "obstructing legal process"; that means interfering with a police investigation, which is a felony. But, as I said, they didn't take that rout, because it would have been over kill. As to us all being aware that the police in America are "toxic", I am aware of no such thing. And since you have made this statement, you will need to prove it by a presentation of solid, well researched evidence that will back your statement. I can assure you before you start, you won't find any. I, on the other hand, can present a refutation of your statement right here; from the MacIver Institute, April, 2021 and I quote: "The Washington Post has created a database of every known deadly police shooting in America since 2015. As of this writing, 6,211 people have been shot and killed by law enforcement officers. 46% of them-2,883 to be exact-were white, while 24% (1,496 total) were black. Just 6% were unarmed." In the mean time, almost 100 people were shot in Chicago on the 4th of July...none of them by police officers. 100 people in ONE NIGHT. Who's toxic?
I was reading the article online and one of his daughters gave praise to you and your dive members and mentioned your you tube channel. I thought it was amazing she did that because you guys are awesome. And she mentioned also in the article that you guys were the first to find the vehicle and she was frustrated with the sheriff and the way they were handling the situation. God bless you guys and keep on. ❤️
The accident was tragic, but what upset me even more was the blatant arrogance of the PD to refuse professional help when the end goal is to console the family.
@@jeremyaltom1303 wrong. They have to ascert authority when entitled and ignorant fools like you stick there nose where it doesn't belong. Get off your high horse and realize this world doesn't revolve around you.
It's about time these guys got the recognition they deserve not that I think they're looking for praise but they have a real professional manner and are very thorough. Great guys who help a lot of families.
They should be meeting with Leo's at the National conventions to introduce them selves make their abilities and if they have accreditations known so department will ask for their help , at least on the oldest unsolved cases and not have the families have to ask. No one should be missing for years in a sunken car
Actually, I work for such an agency and have started watching these videos to learn since I recently became aware of them. There is always more that can be learned, and when it comes to using sonar for vehicle and body recovery, I think Jared has become a subject matter expert. I for one, appreciate the work that he and his team are doing.
Really people going to understand everybody is ridiculing the police this is their job they put so much time and mental work into searching for people and it is emotional and a lot of times they feel people that come from out of town to do things like this are doing it for notoriety we obviously know these guys are good people but for people that don't follow stuff like this like many of those who work in enforcement they feel like this is not a joke to them this is not a view for them this is real life and this is their town so they feel close to what they are doing so people need to understand that before they assume that police just don't want help and you also need to understand that they don't have that kind of equipment all the time especially certain parts of the country where it's a rural area or just don't have the finances so they work with what they have and endangered they do the best they can do you think they like not telling a family that they can't find their loved ones
@@yvetteesandoval6638 relative is a cop I assume? It's a tough job but there's serious pathologies associated with cops that lead to much of the hate that they get. The most common one is a desperate need to appear authoritarive, to the detriment of everyone around them.
It’s funny how law enforcement takes forever to find people and then Adventures with Purpose comes along and finds them within hours. Nothing but love and respect for these guys. Y’all brought closure to so many families and friends , it’s so inspiring what you guys do. Mad respect 🙏🏽
We don't have the resources to concentrate on ONE case to paraphrase what Jay is saying. I have a desk filled with sexual assaults, robberies, and missing persons, this crew is looking for one car. Please understand this.
I’m glad the Sheriff apologized for being so harsh. In the beginning of this video he didn’t quite finish what he was saying. He seemed to struggle with his words. In my heart I believe he was about to say they didn’t want help from amateurs. It really bothered me. But I’m glad he apologized. Keep up the great work !
I can’t imagine how his daughter must feel. She encouraged him to stay home cuz she knew something bad was gonna happen and then it did. So sad Rest In Peace Antonio
The kids knew what was going to happen but he was determined to work no matter what so his kids could have a good life. There was a lot of love in that family.
That’s COMPLETELY embarrassing. They are a SEARCH team. Authorities or not, the goal is to help solve the case and MORE importantly, help the Family. This just emphasizes how much your guys’ services is NEEDED for humanity. What those authorities were doing was NOT in the best interest for HUMANITY. Just for AGENDA. How is that ok ?
@Brandy Montgomery Reeves I just feel for the guy- he lived a good and honest life, worked hard and his dedication and work ethic told him to go to work even during a winter storm that made it very dangerous to travel to work. It is so sad. He lost his life for trying to do the right thing... And who knows how long it took for the vehicle to become flooded- how hard did he fight to get out? I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been. This is just so unimaginably unfair that this good man died in such a way.
Just like that 17 year old girl from California that never gave AWP credit for finding just because the city wanted to cover it up and AWP clearly saw evidence of foul play.
I believe the cops said that a couple cases ago where the cops and awp almost got into an argument and I think it was teen missing when Awp found the car in the water.
@@Megz1794 yep, the police ignored the mothers plea for months, she knew her son was in the river and she begged them to check and they didnt have any evidence to believe that so they just didnt because of the money, so the mother contacted AWP, within the first 3 hours they had located and identified the car and authorities were NOT happy to say the least. heartbreaking
@@elliemae5526 actually they found Nick within an hour, and could've had him out in half an hour after he was found. But the pushback and disrespect from authorities was such that it took them the rest of the day. It was 3+ hours to get him out. And all the grief given to the family and AWP when APOLOGIES were in order. The investigator/officer that responded was more worried about getting them to shut off the cameras so he wasn't held accountable for his shitty attitude and behavior as well as his concern that recovery would destroy the pretty area the county just spent all this money (supposedly) to build. They didn't wanna move some rocks/boulders or have tracks on the grounds that would make it look a mess. Instead of worrying about bringing closure to a family who intuitively KNEW their family member was there for MONTHS. Ego. Sad!!! They should be ASHAMED!
Big respect for the officer coming to apologise at the end, i know these situations can be stressful for the authorities involved and he realised he was harsh at first. At the end you were there to help them and not steal the spotlight or make them look bad, he made himself look bad with what he said but he fixed that with the apology. Much respect to Jared and the AWP team for doing what you do! Big love from the UK!
I just hope he learned from this. Time will tell. It is of course one thing to apologize when you suddenly realize who you have just insulted and that your behavior will be posted on You Tube. It is another when you think no one will find out.
I kinda feel like he did that because he knew they were filming them and didn’t want the public to think anything. Also, he realized he needed Jared’s help. Can’t imagine how hard it was for him to have to ask Jared locate it for them again.
The police did the right thing to chase them away its a "crime" scene. They have no clue who he is upon arrival driving around. AWP should have came to them first at land or atleast drive to the boat and explain he have good gear for sonar and that he does this for a living (detecting cars underwater) and he could be of good help to locate the car and pinpoint the location and if they needed assistance he take up cars from the water for a living. The police apologize after he realized that he was requested to be there and what he does for a living not just a stranger that want to be in the action. It is very important to communicate with the police beforehand.
@@Nickerian91 he did tell them as they were coming up that they were just there to help. And even after the police told them to stay back, which they did, and after finding the car, they refused help still, knowing they hadn’t actually found the car like they said. Nothing wrong with them detecting the car. They didn’t have dive gear on so it’s not like they were going to dive in themselves.
Imagine how much faster the recovery of Mr. Lopez would have been if they had let you guys do what you do best. It’s like they felt they could take their sweet time just because he was deceased already. Truly a shame. Great job nevertheless, as always. I’m so happy the family got him back and could get some peace with it. Much love guys!
Well he's not getting deader. I understand the desire to move already but in that I disagree with the team. If they've been down there 1, 10, 30 years another day or two doesn't matter. Thats life and often death, it doesn't happen boom now because you want some sorta outcome. Its sucks to be waiting for 2-3 days for recovery and however long for id but it also sucks to remove life support and have your person take 6 days to die. 6 days of any moment now, exhausting waiting. It also sucks when someone has weeks to months to die. Wondering if today's the day or next week or if you'll squeak out Christmas this year. But thats the nature of death, it happens on its own timetable
The way you remain calm, professional and approachable even when being treated like crap, is amazing. I'm glad they apologized but I would love to have heard the confo that took place when they had to come ask for your help after the way they acted lol lol
Yea better them than me because I would have demanded a apology right then. We had the car marked and your pride didn't want to accept it so I was made to unmark the car. Now you need me to mark it again. A deep apology and $500 will be sufficient at this point.
So much can be accomplished if everyone just swallow their pride. Kudos on the sheriff for apologising and hopefully next time they will have more faith in you guys. Amazing work yet again by your great team.
“It’s right here” “Yea we know” No they didn’t🤧 Glad they ended up apologizing in the end. I get that a lot of people are looking for them to solve it themselves, so they were stressed to find it without any help
They shouldn't have cared who found the car, their only goal should have been to find it ASAP for the family. I hope they feel guilt, regret and shame for hindering the recovery.
@@Nikolaj11 not at all. You apologize because you realize and acknowledge you were wrong and want to take responsibility and make amends. If you're apologizing just to save face it's purely to make yourself look better and not because you're actually sorry.
as a resident of vancouver i’m thankful that you were so determined to find him, you think that law enforcement would like to help more. But it makes me happy to know you guys are doing everything you can to help bring them home.
I'm not so sure I would say the police had an excellent dive team. They let their egos get in the way. You had it marked, they screwed that up then came to you for help. Total BS. You guys do excellent work and I've never seen your egos override the 'purpose' you are there for. Keep up the good work!
If it had been me after I marked it and they insisted I take off the marker, when they came back to ask for help I would've told them to kiss my a** and waited till they gave up before helping them. Then I would have charged them $1,000 bucks recovery fee.
But because he wouldn’t stay home and be safe his family has to live without him. My husband wouldn’t listen to me when I told him to do certain things for his safety and now he is gone too. I suffer everyday because he isn’t here to help do the things he used to do for us, we struggle to get by. He even said when he was dying that he didn’t think we could make it without him and it is difficult. Please all of you men out there please stop being so macho,if your wife begs you to see a doctor, go get a check up. If she tells you it’s too dangerous to drive to work in a blizzard, take a vacation day because maybe she has a feeling given by an Angel. Earning that few dollars that day is not worth your life to us.
I was thinking that also! Then again, they seem to do even BETTER than most authorities just by being who they are. I feel they should stay small/private, but get as much funding as possible.
I started watching almost two years ago and have watched the evolution of the channel. I like the man Jared has become. Thank you for giving yourself to all of us. Make sure you keep your mental health as a number one priority. Take breaks when you need to and do not feel bad for needing to decompress. You are a gift to all of us. Thank you for doing this for families across America.
I so agree….SHAME ON THE OTHERS WHO SPOKE AS TO HOW YOU SPLIT THE FUNDS, EVEN THOUGH THEY SIGNED UP AS VOLUNTEERS….THEIR WORDS ABOUT JARED HAVE PISSED ME OFF ROYALLY!!! IF YOU WANTED TO GET PAID IM SURE JARED WOULD HAVE DESIGNED A WAY TO INCLUDE YOU IN THE FUNDING PART OF AWP….WHAT A SHAME Y’all ARE SOUNDING GREEDY TO ME….
I like how professional and humble Jared was..hopefully, the authorities wont be just after the credit who found first..they should have acknowledge from the start the help these three guys gave..anyways, you guys are amazing
Yeah, egos can be the biggest hindrance to the LE profession. Weather and water temps, for the safety of the divers, work smarter not harder, all that matters is Mr Amaro-Lopez was brought home and everybody else got to go home, too.
Wow, I am embarrassed that our local authorities acted like this. Shame on them! Waaaaaaay too much ego involved, that's for sure. Thank you AWP, for all you do. Seriously, I know you get told this a lot, but you are earth angels & this world needs YOU! 🙏❤️ Edit- I am glad the sheriff's department apologized to you. You definitely deserved it.
Watching this brought me back to the time my nephew drown and the coast guard called off the search and my nephew was under water for three days.. It took a volunteer from 5 towns away and two dogs on a boat to locate my nephew after 3 long days.. My deepest condolences to this family and to all the members of Adventures with purpose THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Jared - "You know it's right here?"... Authority - "Yeah, we know"... (a while later) Authority - "Yeah if you could mark it that would be perfect." - total BS!
I drove over that bridge exactly 30 minutes before his accident, coming back from illani. the snow was pushed against the sides of the bridge like ramps. I took a picture of it and told my wife as we drove over it about how dangerous it was. Very sorry that this happened. You guys are amazing.
So you took pictures of the snow piled up on the gaurd rail while you were driving on icy roads. That was safe. Did you also tell your wife how dangerous it was for you to take pictures? One question for you. Where were the plows supposed to put the snow? I have always said when people complain about how the road was plowed, that the plow drivers could have just stayed home and then say think about how bad it could have been if they did. This was a freak accident and probably won't happen again on that bridge for another 50 years or more. When the good Lord calls you home it does not matter where you are or what you are doing.
You guys aren’t just TH-camrs you give family’s closure. Your team have become experts at recovering cars from the water. Local PD departments just want the credit but end up looking bad. They should set their pride aside and ask for help, which takes a bigger man to do. Props to the cop that apologized in the end.
Yeah... Shall we compare the recovery numbers? Groups like AWP, Chaos Divers, etc do soooo much more... Why? Cause it's what they do!! All day, every day that they are out!!
The lack of safety railing on that bridge is so concerning wow. Here in Australia literally every bridge, road, highway, hill, train line, underpass, corner, literally everything has a safety rail.
A comment above explains it, but the snow was pushed up against the concrete sides, which act as safety rails, and this created a ramp so that he could drive over the side. They should definitely look into the bridges safety though, and potentially add higher railing/siding.
@@carriecheung3446 Yeah I've seen pictures of the bridge and the "bricked" sideline that's in place, but even a sidewalk is higher than that! It's insane that there's no actual rail to prevent a car from simply driving over, especially with snow acting as a full on ramp! They REALLY need to look into better safety measures. :(
In Germany it’s the same, we have on every road, no matter how far out in the country some markers or guard rails and my boyfriend who’s American keeps telling me that in the states that’s a rare sight! It’s crazy!!
Wow. Astonishing how inept the authorities are. I have been binge watching since I found your channel this morning. Thank God there are folks like you guys out there to care for these families and bring swift closure after what for some has been a lifetime of uncertainty. Bless you all, stay safe out there.
@@Buzinfree777 that’s exactly why they came up at the end to apologize, when they found out Adventures With Purpose actually knew there shit and weren’t just some random people looking to join the search effort. Definitely quite embarrassing for them.
I initially disliked the sheriff for how they reacted to you, but I can respect the officer that had it in him to apologize for it after they realised you were only trying to genuinely help. Good guy.
Such a shame that the authorities own pride stands in the way of collaborative working in order to get a thorough and potentially speedier outcome for a bereaved family. Thank you for everything you do .
I don't think it is only pride. There's to be a lot of pressure from outside as well so they kind of have to show results of their own. I'm not saying that pride is not a factor at all, but knowing how savage press can be in this day and age, they have to be considerate of that, too, sadly.
@@jamesderbutler from all of these videos, Seeing them act similarly in town after town, I think it’s pride and embarrassment for it being revealed how little they really do. A friend of mine went missing as a grown woman and we learned the hard way that the police do not do much. A third party team was much more helpful in finding any leads at all. The police just try to convince you it isn’t an issue or suspicious. They tried to say she ran away when she left behind all her money and her car was found abandoned with the driver seat pushed back and unknown fingerprints.
I remember watching this vehicle going over and my heart felt for the family. Thank you so much to this team that dedicates their time to reuniting lost loved ones with their families❤️
Omg you actually SAW it happen?! Wow how devastating 😢 so sad for the family as well but so glad these guys were there and the police finally found this man. Wish the cops and divers wouldn't have had egos that got in the way tho and allowed the team here to help sooner but just glad he's returned to his family
I love how authorities shoo you away, and then agree with you when you find the object they're searching for (for 2 days). Thank you for everything you do to provide families with answers.
Heartbroken for Antonio's family and friends. Thank you for continously and tirelessly being there to help and support the families you do. I feel privileged to be apart of your journey and to be a member of the AWP family ❤️
What total and utter crap. Regardless of someone apologising after the event, I bet EVERY INCIDENT that goes like thst will forever be mentally noted. I can see that eventually they will call you asap so yiu can work together. Your small group would have to be the best regardless of what the authorities say. Authorities get paid by the government regardless. You dont, so it means more to people with folk like you around. Action speaks louder than Words! Again - an absolutely fantastic group of people.
Thank you Jared and Doug for helping this family out as well as helping the sheriff when they finally asked. I am proud to be part of AWP. Tell Dan the video is awesome. You all take care of yourself.
I can already tell by the comments on this video as it's beginning, that the local authorities are going to piss me off. Thank you guys for doing this. Being brave enough to dive down to the potentially unspeakable, not to mention your knowledge and experience, is incredibly remarkable. I applaud your efforts, and pray God keeps you guys safe and blesses your adventures.
Yes so frustrating and sad, unfortunately we are treated as things and not humans, this team had the urgency for reaching out the dad, husband a love one from a family and the authorities only have protocols and insurances everything about money expenses and who takes the credit shameful indeed.
They shouldn’t have pissed you off, AWP is not an authority figure here and did not have the clearance to be there, you can’t just wander into a murder scene and go “We’re helping!” And expect the police to not tell you to piss off, the fact they came back to ask for help and apologise shows that they understand and now recognise the skill of AWP but you can’t just expect them to get a free pass at every crime scene simply because you want them to or because they have a past of helping, authority still has to be respected and the proper procedures taken to ensure both parties can cooperate together prior to the recovery, if they had divers in the water for example another boat being nearby is VERY dangerous
@@mpshotattwice3253 However as it stood all they had reasonably to go on was what AWP said, the same applies, if it is an active crime scene the police can't have randoms in the area, especially when it's water based since disturbances can make recovery much more difficult or if there is divers etc in the water and a random boat pulls up it runs the very real risk of injuring that diver, it's clear the police did want to find him themselves but let's not pretend asking them to leave wasn't reasonable.
The so-called "Authorities" have disgusted me for years Kaitlin. I've had to lose two people in my life in the last 10 years. I nearly lost my own life because of them being inept.
It’s weird to say I love this channel. But to see people be so efficient at their job, and being able to bring closure to families, is powerful. I’ve shed some tears watching this channel. What this team does is not easy, and I can’t imagine how heavy some of these finds are for these gentlemen, especially the kids. Salute to AWP. INCREDIBLE Chanel 🙏🏽
Absolutely agree ma'am . And it is upsetting that these men did what they did and found Mr Lopez then the sheriff's office stepped in and almost seemed like they was going to take credit for all of this . I'm not bashing the sheriff's office or anyone just saying these men are the reason this case was solved . We need more ppl like this is this world amazing ppl and thank for all you do .
At the end, all that matters is that Antonio was found and brought home. Well done for responding and then not giving up when you were told to move away.
I have to say I don't understand why the people who are responsible and paid can't find anything, yet these guys have found alot of people who have been missing. Great job
@@sabejreid2072 a lot of police department don't have the equipment like they do or the experience using it. Practice and knowing your equipment is the key.
Sending my condolences to the family and friends of Mr Lopez. Thanks for being there for the family Jared and Doug. The amount of heartache the Sheriff’s department could have saved Mr Lopez’s family if they had swallowed their pride to begin with is evident, however I am impressed that they did come and apologise for the way they behaved toward you guys.
The fact that they made you remove your maker was downright irresponsible. I understand the PD not wanting civilians involved sometimes for several different reasons but they don't have to be rude about it and let pride get in the way.
I now realize why many families suffer from authorities not finding their loved ones. AWP not only found this man, they also left a marker for authorities to show them exactly where the car was. After they removed their marker these people still couldn't find the vehicle, that's is negligence at its worst. If AWP weren't there on that day there's no way the police diving team would have found that vehicle in a million years. AWP are such awesome guys, total respect to each and everyone of yous and what you do for these grieving families.
It’s sad that a lot of the sherif departments aren’t keen on AWPs help, they know who you are and what you do, when that officer/Sheriff came back saying he knew the car was there I honestly don’t believe that, his pride got in the way there and that’s just sad as all he did was waste more time in getting Mr Lopez out of the water making the family wait longer Jared, Doug and Scott, thank you for rushing to be at the families side and aid in the Recovery, I am honoured to be a member of this community you are all building, God bless you all, God certainly knew what he was doing bringing all you guys together from all areas of the U.S ❤️
My heart breaks for Antonios family especially knowing that he passed away on the way to work to provide for his family. May he rest in peace. Thank you AWP for the work you do you guys are amazing and so humble after the way that people treat you when you're just trying to help bring peace to the families who are suffering.
My worst fear. Drowning and or burning to death. This is so sad. I feel terrible for the family and how much this man had to suffer going in that cold water and not being able to escape. It’s so awful.
I've told my girls if they ever think they are going in water... very first thing is open the window, thens eat belt off. My worry is the being stuck in the cqr, with electric s that are going to stop instantly you hit. We have a small brick surrounded river in town, like 5 metres wide, 2 metres to water... yet a man died a few years ago after rolling in. My girls were only 10 and 9 at the time but i wanted it instilled just like rules for crossing the road.
Sucks that the police/sheriff let their ego get in the way at first. Things could have happened a lot more quickly if they had just accepted the help upon your arrival. But I'm glad to see that the sheriff humbled himself and came to apologize at the end. It takes a lot of guts to swallow pride. Y'all did a wonderful job, as always.
What's sad is if they let them help from the beginning the car would have been found sooner and he would have been out sooner. 🥺 rest in peace Antonio.
@Aidan Dykstra i agree these guys are very invasive they want to go get some content i understand they do a great job but no need to keep annoying the search team when they said go away
A dedicated man, couldn't take a day off, even though it might mean his death, because he was desparate to keep his family homed and fed. and couldn't afford to avoid his eminent death
I just want to say that I lost a co-worker friend, who died instantly, because a big rig ran a red light, T boning my friend killing him instantly. He was a hard working, loving, caring, and very popular well loved employee in my workplace & a loving & dedicated husband & father of 3 daughters. RIP Casey Owens 😢
It's honestly sad that authorities acted the way they did. I feel sometimes they forget the real reason they do things shouldn't be about "we don't want help we want to find it" take the help you can get to help some a d there families. You guys are so amazing at what you do!
In a world where a large portion of our population behave immaturely, reactive in emotion, and with an extra large ego; you guys are the complete opposite. We need more people like you with a purpose! You stay focused on the mission, with a demeanor and character many could benefit from. Thank you for helping this family and all the while being just humble good guys!
Why are so many law enforcement agencies complete assholes? It's disappointing to always see them act that way. Good job to you guys for finding the target, as always.
@Birdie My husband is black and has never had an altercation with the police. My dad on the other hand is white and has had plenty. Why? Because he's reckless, irresponsible and doesn't care about the law. Stop believing leftist propaganda and you may begin to see clearly.
@@tryphenarose384 oh stop trying to oppress yourself. not every black individual is going to have bad run ins with cops especially depending on where they are from..BUT people of color are more likely to have bad experiences so please stfu
@@tryphenarose384 same, my dad is white but always gets in trouble because he can’t stop mouthing off. Wish he would realize that’s it’s his attitude rather than other people around him.
To be fair, first thing I would be worried as a cop is that they would come and mess up the evidence. It has happened a lot in the past when people from outside try to come and help and don’t understand the procedure so the person wouldn’t get found or evidence would get tampered. Never know, this could have been a murder.!
Damn. I crossed that bridge during that storm and immediately regretted it. Was sliding all over the place. Felt like a survival situation. Guess I was right. Wow.
It's not really about pride when they don't know other people's experience. They are on a recovery they don't need to have it turn into a search and rescue as well. How would you feel if someone came into your job with no experience or same amount of experience and not being part of your company and started telling you how to do your job
I don't think it's pride. The authorities have rules and regulations they have to abide. They have to do things to also keep the public safe. Imagine if one of these divers was hurt or even died during this, the police would have been the first to get blamed. Why didn't they stop them, why didn't they chase them away. I applaud AWP, but you can't just put yourself in the middle of a police procedure and expect them to accept you with open arms.
Rest in peace Antonio. 💗 My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Thank you to the entire AWP for all of your hard work, dedication, passion, and determination to finally bring answers to families of missing loved ones. 💞
Hey jared, I really admire how much respect you have for the police, dive team and families! You should be involved more and take more credit and you sit on your hands when told. You guys do an incredible job and love watching. I was fascinated on the new live sonar system how we could see the car and the grappling hook live going down, that was very cool. Keep up the good work!
I watched this live and I’ve gotta say, with this case and others, it really bothers me when AWP gets pushed back, told to step aside, especially after THEY have located the vehicle and a family’s love one!! I could go on a rant about this, but I won’t!! It’s not about “who” gets credits, it’s about finding a family’s love one!! AWP are “Angels in Wet Suits”🤿❤️🪝
I’m glad they apologized at the end. But it literally took AWP 10 minutes. And after 2 days the police still had not found it. I know it’s stressful but AWP are very well known all police should know they do not do this for the notoriety, they do this for the family’s and there peace of mind. It’s not like it’s there first recovery and won’t be there last. I just feel that if you have a group like this willing to assist, you should take the help and be grateful for the help.
The person was already dead, they weren't going anywhere. You want police to get better? Guess what? They have to run a recovery and learn their specific tools by themselves. They're almost always training people at the same time. Additionally, if you let civilians participate, you become responsible for them. AWP is well known by TH-cam viewers, that's it. Do you know how many randos show up at scenes like this? There are divers and organizations that do this regularly and work a lot better with local authorities because they are known in the area and have had their credentials validated.
When will the authorities realize that you guys know what you’re doing.....it’s so silly when you’re dealing with peoples lives that they care “who” found it! Be better people, be better. The only thing that should matter is bringing him home.
The authorities already know that AWP know what they are doing! Thats the real problem! They dont want to have 2 guys in a raft find a car in 30 minutes while they have millions in equipment and didn’t find anything in 3 days. They need to justify their existence and importance.
@@DOLfirst wouldn’t doubt it, absolute power corrupts absolutely, I’m certain the sheriff who apologized only did so after knowing they were being recorded, “i didn’t know your role in this” was bs...
“They have a good dive team, I’ll give them that” 2 divers deployed and can not find the vehicle, police boat comes back over and acts like they didn’t yell at you before cuz they now need your expertise.
was nice of the officer to come and apologise. Pity they didn't just use ur first marker. Thing would have happened a lot quicker. Very sad. But well done guys yet again. Xx
Wow… just Wowwww It’s horrible how the sheriffs let their ego get in the way of the search and rescue. Thank you Adventure with purpose for your help in all you do. 🙏🏽
After you were chased off, it is very kind for you to stay to help if they needed you. I loved it when they asked you to REmark it. You are so much nicer than I am. Thank you for helping and always being so kind. Maybe one day they will request you and you can be paid for your work.

Spends hours not finding it.
"Can you find it for us?"
Instantly finds it, AGAIN.
It's a shame that that is a very true statement. What a sad state of affairs indeed. Thank YOU AWP for having common sense and purpose. Much love.
I agree, gosh, it certainly doesn't make a person feel very confident that they even know what they're doing. Thank you the purpose team for finding Mr.Lopez and bringing closure to his family members.
That's not at all how it happened, they simply want to avoid civilians being in their scene. It's the same as having a random tow operator go into an accident with a body. They had them come in afterwards because they needed help.
@@JimmyMcneil They literally said they couldn't find it and came over and asked them to hook the line up to it AGAIN *that they already had on the car*
@@lexithomas9694 Did you not read my comment?
I’m glad to hear the Sheriff apologize. I know this is “their job” but for them to make you remove your marker when you’re on the vehicle just seemed petty.
You always are so gracious and professional with the people who can be rude.
An absolute clueless turd of a sheriff. And cops wonder why so many people label all of them as absolutely contemptible.
But the person that removed the marker should be disciplined .
That was ridiculous. That sheriff should be voted out. Had that been the Polk county sheriff they would have welcomed the help. Polk county Florida Sheriff Grady Judd for President.
and then having to come back and ask them to mark it again.....made fools of themselves.
Let AWP just do their work and help, what's the harm in having outsiders help giving closure to families
@@yvettet7398 Because they wanted ALL of the glory! Doug removed the marker, and it took the sheriff almost 5 hours of diving and going nowhere to ask AWP to REMARK the car! 5 WASTED man hours. Ego's need to be left out of situations like these. I noticed Doug wasn't in the video much after, I imagine he was steaming pissed!
When are these cities and townships gonna learn this isn't a popularity contest. They could of been done hours earlier if they'd just accept the help
@Mark Anthony Between the support vehicles, boats, and all there equipment on scene I bet the big government had at least a few million dollars tied up. You can then add all the wages and charge out times for the people on the scene and there budget is astronomical. Jared and his team deserve a lot of credit for doing what they do very well and at a fraction of the cost.
They don’t the help bcause they want to look good for the community n look like hero’s unfortunately they not in my eyes it was Jared n AWP team that found him

The sad part is the authorities stating they knew where it was but they had left for lunch which says it all. Help should always be accepted esp when the equipment and experience speaks for itself!
He had been in the water for days. It's illogical that they couldn't spare a moment for lunch when it's a recovery and not rescue mission.
@@meatisadelicacy There is no logic in that...If they really found the car,they would not move from that spot...That would be their priority at that moment...Logical thinking would be,if we go for lunch now maybe when we come back the body is fallen out of the car and we lose it....So no i dont belive they knew it was there before they went for lunch
Pigs
@@meatisadelicacy I think the Flowing Waters is doubting the authorities would simply 'drive away' to take a lunch break if they HAD found the car. To put it another way, they're certainly allowed to take a lunch break, but it sounds like a lie when they return from the break, say they know where the car is, spend hours trying to find it, and then ask AWP to mark it again.
They didn’t know where it was.
As has been stated many times before the pride on these officers is shameful. They were loud and clear that recovery of Antonio’s body was secondary to their image.
I agree. They probably just thought, too, that it was a group of TH-camrs just messing around for view. There's a lot of them, and a lot are doing stupid stuff.
"pride" yeah thats why they still asked for help after telling him that they didn't need their help. if they really had so much pride they wouldn't have asked for help.
@@Mister_Rat_ they had to suck up their own pride due to outside pressure and knowing these guys marked the vehicle and they made them leave.
May be pride, but could also be policy. It’s technically an accident scene and their department is the ones responsible for it and they don’t want any outside interference. But then they realized AWP is actually beneficial in locating and securing the vehicle. Not every police department is about their image.
@@Mister_Rat_ it's called eating crow.... pride always comes before the fall
Being from Oregon I am very ashamed of this Sheriffs department, their ego was more important than finding this man.
MCSO has ALWAYS had a huge ego problem.
I'm from here to, doesn't surprise me. But makes me asked also.
MCSO in 2004 had an agency wide bet on who could get the most Marijuana possession tickets during the week of spring break, I was 18 and was thr designated driver & got pulled over and the told us all about it, they illegally searched my car, were physically and verbally abusive. And this isn't even close to my worst storied about Mult-Co.
I am police supporter to and grind my gears when they abuse their power.
I'm glad they apoligized though. And they are always getting bad information and always have to be careful who is around them, so I am understanding on that part . But you can still show people respect.
Our Sherrif here in OR are usually pretty Stellar imo compared to others but I am open to adjusting my opinion…. Definitely disappointing to see how they were treated absolutely. At least there was a full apology at the end. This was such an awful accident this winter, just heartbreaking 🙏🏻

You got at least part of this right. They COULD have arrested them, but they didn't. That's called discretionary power. And it would have been for "obstructing legal process"; that means interfering with a police investigation, which is a felony.
But, as I said, they didn't take that rout, because it would have been over kill.
As to us all being aware that the police in America are "toxic", I am aware of no such thing. And since you have made this statement, you will need to prove it by a presentation of solid, well researched evidence that will back your statement.
I can assure you before you start, you won't find any.
I, on the other hand, can present a refutation of your statement right here; from the MacIver Institute, April, 2021 and I quote: "The Washington Post has created a database of every known deadly police shooting in America since 2015. As of this writing, 6,211 people have been shot and killed by law enforcement officers. 46% of them-2,883 to be exact-were white, while 24% (1,496 total) were black.
Just 6% were unarmed."

Actually, I work for such an agency and have started watching these videos to learn since I recently became aware of them. There is always more that can be learned, and when it comes to using sonar for vehicle and body recovery, I think Jared has become a subject matter expert. I for one, appreciate the work that he and his team are doing.
Really people going to understand everybody is ridiculing the police this is their job they put so much time and mental work into searching for people and it is emotional and a lot of times they feel people that come from out of town to do things like this are doing it for notoriety we obviously know these guys are good people but for people that don't follow stuff like this like many of those who work in enforcement they feel like this is not a joke to them this is not a view for them this is real life and this is their town so they feel close to what they are doing so people need to understand that before they assume that police just don't want help and you also need to understand that they don't have that kind of equipment all the time especially certain parts of the country where it's a rural area or just don't have the finances so they work with what they have and endangered they do the best they can do you think they like not telling a family that they can't find their loved ones
@@yvetteesandoval6638 relative is a cop I assume?
It's a tough job but there's serious pathologies associated with cops that lead to much of the hate that they get. The most common one is a desperate need to appear authoritarive, to the detriment of everyone around them.
It’s funny how law enforcement takes forever to find people and then Adventures with Purpose comes along and finds them within hours. Nothing but love and respect for these guys. Y’all brought closure to so many families and friends , it’s so inspiring what you guys do. Mad respect 🙏🏽
To be fair, they most likely have a desk full of cases and it's about time management and resources.
It's called the government.. anything hired out will always be upgrade....
Of course they paid fat money for a job like this. No rush at all. We pay for them. Civilians
They also specialize in this, while police probably don’t use sonar often enough to be comfortable with situations coming up infrequently like this.
We don't have the resources to concentrate on ONE case to paraphrase what Jay is saying. I have a desk filled with sexual assaults, robberies, and missing persons, this crew is looking for one car. Please understand this.
I’m glad the Sheriff apologized for being so harsh. In the beginning of this video he didn’t quite finish what he was saying. He seemed to struggle with his words. In my heart I believe he was about to say they didn’t want help from amateurs. It really bothered me. But I’m glad he apologized. Keep up the great work !
I can’t imagine how his daughter must feel. She encouraged him to stay home cuz she knew something bad was gonna happen and then it did. So sad Rest In Peace Antonio
i think kids know more than anyone and they can tell. it’s heartbreaking at times.
The kids knew what was going to happen but he was determined to work no matter what so his kids could have a good life. There was a lot of love in that family.
Let a drive or flight take an extra minute, or even 20, or loose it within those 1 or 20.

The universe ALWAYS sends a message , just th.rough different means.....
Understanding the Message is the real deal
That’s COMPLETELY embarrassing. They are a SEARCH team. Authorities or not, the goal is to help solve the case and MORE importantly, help the Family. This just emphasizes how much your guys’ services is NEEDED for humanity. What those authorities were doing was NOT in the best interest for HUMANITY. Just for AGENDA. How is that ok ?
So on point!
It's just not ok. It's fuckin bullshit politics. I hope whoever was in charge got voted out.
Poor man goes to work and dies in such a tragic way... can't imagine the fear he felt. Prayers go out to his family.
@Brandy Montgomery Reeves I just feel for the guy- he lived a good and honest life, worked hard and his dedication and work ethic told him to go to work even during a winter storm that made it very dangerous to travel to work. It is so sad. He lost his life for trying to do the right thing... And who knows how long it took for the vehicle to become flooded- how hard did he fight to get out? I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been. This is just so unimaginably unfair that this good man died in such a way.
@@KLUNKET He was probably unconscious.
It probably happened really fast.
@@ChyloeReece that would be the most ideal way to out especially with a drowning while trapped
Very sad and such a loss such a hard working man.
The authorities should be ashamed. Trying to take credit over a victim they clearly weren't in a rush to help! You guys are doing God's work❤
Just like that 17 year old girl from California that never gave AWP credit for finding just because the city wanted to cover it up and AWP clearly saw evidence of foul play.
“Do you know it’s here”
“Yeah”
They definitely had no clue, lol.
I believe the cops said that a couple cases ago where the cops and awp almost got into an argument and I think it was teen missing when Awp found the car in the water.
@@Megz1794 yep, the police ignored the mothers plea for months, she knew her son was in the river and she begged them to check and they didnt have any evidence to believe that so they just didnt because of the money, so the mother contacted AWP, within the first 3 hours they had located and identified the car and authorities were NOT happy to say the least. heartbreaking
@@elliemae5526yeah I just remember the cops using a similar argument with the case of a 17 year old aka a teen with Awp before
@@elliemae5526 actually they found Nick within an hour, and could've had him out in half an hour after he was found. But the pushback and disrespect from authorities was such that it took them the rest of the day. It was 3+ hours to get him out. And all the grief given to the family and AWP when APOLOGIES were in order. The investigator/officer that responded was more worried about getting them to shut off the cameras so he wasn't held accountable for his shitty attitude and behavior as well as his concern that recovery would destroy the pretty area the county just spent all this money (supposedly) to build. They didn't wanna move some rocks/boulders or have tracks on the grounds that would make it look a mess. Instead of worrying about bringing closure to a family who intuitively KNEW their family member was there for MONTHS. Ego. Sad!!! They should be ASHAMED!
@@resarm5007 I just finished that video.. They actually found him 6 minutes & some seconds into their search!
Big respect for the officer coming to apologise at the end, i know these situations can be stressful for the authorities involved and he realised he was harsh at first. At the end you were there to help them and not steal the spotlight or make them look bad, he made himself look bad with what he said but he fixed that with the apology. Much respect to Jared and the AWP team for doing what you do! Big love from the UK!
Too many people are looking for put downs of police in these times. Some individuals handle things with negative results. Most dont
I just hope he learned from this. Time will tell. It is of course one thing to apologize when you suddenly realize who you have just insulted and that your behavior will be posted on You Tube. It is another when you think no one will find out.
I kinda feel like he did that because he knew they were filming them and didn’t want the public to think anything. Also, he realized he needed Jared’s help. Can’t imagine how hard it was for him to have to ask Jared locate it for them again.
The police did the right thing to chase them away its a "crime" scene. They have no clue who he is upon arrival driving around.
AWP should have came to them first at land or atleast drive to the boat and explain he have good gear for sonar and that he does this for a living (detecting cars underwater) and he could be of good help to locate the car and pinpoint the location and if they needed assistance he take up cars from the water for a living.
The police apologize after he realized that he was requested to be there and what he does for a living not just a stranger that want to be in the action.
It is very important to communicate with the police beforehand.
@@Nickerian91 he did tell them as they were coming up that they were just there to help. And even after the police told them to stay back, which they did, and after finding the car, they refused help still, knowing they hadn’t actually found the car like they said. Nothing wrong with them detecting the car. They didn’t have dive gear on so it’s not like they were going to dive in themselves.
Let’s not forget a man lost his life regardless of who was there or not. Rest easy. MR LOPEZ love from Scotland 🏴
Imagine how much faster the recovery of Mr. Lopez would have been if they had let you guys do what you do best. It’s like they felt they could take their sweet time just because he was deceased already. Truly a shame. Great job nevertheless, as always. I’m so happy the family got him back and could get some peace with it. Much love guys!
they need to get that overtime $$$$$ in thats all they want
Well he's not getting deader. I understand the desire to move already but in that I disagree with the team. If they've been down there 1, 10, 30 years another day or two doesn't matter. Thats life and often death, it doesn't happen boom now because you want some sorta outcome. Its sucks to be waiting for 2-3 days for recovery and however long for id but it also sucks to remove life support and have your person take 6 days to die. 6 days of any moment now, exhausting waiting. It also sucks when someone has weeks to months to die. Wondering if today's the day or next week or if you'll squeak out Christmas this year. But thats the nature of death, it happens on its own timetable
The way you remain calm, professional and approachable even when being treated like crap, is amazing. I'm glad they apologized but I would love to have heard the confo that took place when they had to come ask for your help after the way they acted lol lol
I was just thinking that...a true gentleman of good graces.
Excellent post Michele!
This is a true Christian man ! 💜😘🙏
Yea better them than me because I would have demanded a apology right then. We had the car marked and your pride didn't want to accept it so I was made to unmark the car.
Now you need me to mark it again. A deep apology and $500 will be sufficient at this point.
@@csb772 if you ever watched any of his past videos helping families he says it is no about the mony.
So much can be accomplished if everyone just swallow their pride. Kudos on the sheriff for apologising and hopefully next time they will have more faith in you guys. Amazing work yet again by your great team.
“It’s right here”
“Yea we know”
No they didn’t🤧
Glad they ended up apologizing in the end. I get that a lot of people are looking for them to solve it themselves, so they were stressed to find it without any help
They shouldn't have cared who found the car, their only goal should have been to find it ASAP for the family. I hope they feel guilt, regret and shame for hindering the recovery.
I feel like they only apologized to save face.
@@wc5436 Isn't that part of what an apology is?
@@Nikolaj11 not at all. You apologize because you realize and acknowledge you were wrong and want to take responsibility and make amends. If you're apologizing just to save face it's purely to make yourself look better and not because you're actually sorry.
@@belad0nna And to save face
as a resident of vancouver i’m thankful that you were so determined to find him, you think that law enforcement would like to help more. But it makes me happy to know you guys are doing everything you can to help bring them home.
I'm not so sure I would say the police had an excellent dive team. They let their egos get in the way. You had it marked, they screwed that up then came to you for help. Total BS. You guys do excellent work and I've never seen your egos override the 'purpose' you are there for. Keep up the good work!
The sonar guys were a different unit than the dive team. Once the vehicle was marked the dive team seemed competent
If it had been me after I marked it and they insisted I take off the marker, when they came back to ask for help I would've told them to kiss my a** and waited till they gave up before helping them. Then I would have charged them $1,000 bucks recovery fee.
Rest In Piece Antonio Amaro Lopez, You were a man of passion and dedication to his family.
But because he wouldn’t stay home and be safe his family has to live without him. My husband wouldn’t listen to me when I told him to do certain things for his safety and now he is gone too. I suffer everyday because he isn’t here to help do the things he used to do for us, we struggle to get by. He even said when he was dying that he didn’t think we could make it without him and it is difficult. Please all of you men out there please stop being so macho,if your wife begs you to see a doctor, go get a check up. If she tells you it’s too dangerous to drive to work in a blizzard, take a vacation day because maybe she has a feeling given by an Angel. Earning that few dollars that day is not worth your life to us.
Federal authorities should have you on a nationwide retainer.
I was thinking that also! Then again, they seem to do even BETTER than most authorities just by being who they are. I feel they should stay small/private, but get as much funding as possible.
They absolutely SHOULD!! ❤️❤️❤️
@TH-cam Censors Free Speech biased agenda? they're body divers. do you think they'll be like "oh we don't like this body, let's put it back."?
@TH-cam Censors Free Speech theyre already being paid with some "missing person" rewards from the local PDs, too.
They have the same equipment...and dive teams. I'm guessing its a liability issue.
This is so SAD for this Family missing their loved one and this Embarrassing for this Police Office!
They’ve been looking for 2 days.
“Are they gonna take lunch yet so we can go and find the car??”
Authorities take lunch.
*Finds car immediately•
That is crazyyyy, I would be absolutely ashamed..
I know right, then they lose the marker and ask them to mark it again.
Authorities flipped a coin to see who would have to eat $hit and ask for help😂😂😂😂
Amazing, isn't it?
you have to wonder if they even have their finder plugged in.
I started watching almost two years ago and have watched the evolution of the channel. I like the man Jared has become. Thank you for giving yourself to all of us. Make sure you keep your mental health as a number one priority. Take breaks when you need to and do not feel bad for needing to decompress. You are a gift to all of us. Thank you for doing this for families across America.
Thank you for all your support over these years and calling to serve.
I so agree….SHAME ON THE OTHERS WHO SPOKE AS TO HOW YOU SPLIT THE FUNDS, EVEN THOUGH THEY SIGNED UP AS VOLUNTEERS….THEIR WORDS ABOUT JARED HAVE PISSED ME OFF ROYALLY!!! IF YOU WANTED TO GET PAID IM SURE JARED WOULD HAVE DESIGNED A WAY TO INCLUDE YOU IN THE FUNDING PART OF AWP….WHAT A SHAME Y’all ARE SOUNDING GREEDY TO ME….
I like how professional and humble Jared was..hopefully, the authorities wont be just after the credit who found first..they should have acknowledge from the start the help these three guys gave..anyways, you guys are amazing
and Happy to see the sheriff personally apologizing
The authorities had searched unsuccessfully.
I live just south of Portland. The news was so biased and originally gave the Sheriffs Dept all the credit at first. I wasn’t happy.
@@victoriaeastman3248 that's so sad..credit grabbing
Yeah, egos can be the biggest hindrance to the LE profession. Weather and water temps, for the safety of the divers, work smarter not harder, all that matters is Mr Amaro-Lopez was brought home and everybody else got to go home, too.
Wow, I am embarrassed that our local authorities acted like this. Shame on them! Waaaaaaay too much ego involved, that's for sure. Thank you AWP, for all you do. Seriously, I know you get told this a lot, but you are earth angels & this world needs YOU! 🙏❤️ Edit- I am glad the sheriff's department apologized to you. You definitely deserved it.
Watching this brought me back to the time my nephew drown and the coast guard called off the search and my nephew was under water for three days.. It took a volunteer from 5 towns away and two dogs on a boat to locate my nephew after 3 long days.. My deepest condolences to this family and to all the members of Adventures with purpose THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Jared - "You know it's right here?"... Authority - "Yeah, we know"... (a while later) Authority - "Yeah if you could mark it that would be perfect." - total BS!
ya they didnt no shit
I drove over that bridge exactly 30 minutes before his accident, coming back from illani. the snow was pushed against the sides of the bridge like ramps. I took a picture of it and told my wife as we drove over it about how dangerous it was.
Very sorry that this happened. You guys are amazing.
We’re you able to drive fast that day? Or what speed would u say cars were doing ?
No reason that snow should be piled up like that and to also not have something there to block people from going over is needed.
I'm surprised at the lack of barriers on this bridge.
@@WarriorRazor Yeah especially if it's in an area that has snow during the winter season.
So you took pictures of the snow piled up on the gaurd rail while you were driving on icy roads. That was safe. Did you also tell your wife how dangerous it was for you to take pictures? One question for you. Where were the plows supposed to put the snow? I have always said when people complain about how the road was plowed, that the plow drivers could have just stayed home and then say think about how bad it could have been if they did. This was a freak accident and probably won't happen again on that bridge for another 50 years or more. When the good Lord calls you home it does not matter where you are or what you are doing.
These two guys are a dynamic team making a huge difference to countless people.
You guys aren’t just TH-camrs you give family’s closure. Your team have become experts at recovering cars from the water. Local PD departments just want the credit but end up looking bad. They should set their pride aside and ask for help, which takes a bigger man to do. Props to the cop that apologized in the end.
Yeah... Shall we compare the recovery numbers? Groups like AWP, Chaos Divers, etc do soooo much more... Why? Cause it's what they do!! All day, every day that they are out!!
The lack of safety railing on that bridge is so concerning wow.
Here in Australia literally every bridge, road, highway, hill, train line, underpass, corner, literally everything has a safety rail.
I was coming to say the same thing!! How can you have a bridge this high with NO guardrails in place AT ALL!??! It's insane!
A comment above explains it, but the snow was pushed up against the concrete sides, which act as safety rails, and this created a ramp so that he could drive over the side. They should definitely look into the bridges safety though, and potentially add higher railing/siding.
@@carriecheung3446 Yeah I've seen pictures of the bridge and the "bricked" sideline that's in place, but even a sidewalk is higher than that! It's insane that there's no actual rail to prevent a car from simply driving over, especially with snow acting as a full on ramp! They REALLY need to look into better safety measures. :(
In Germany it’s the same, we have on every road, no matter how far out in the country some markers or guard rails and my boyfriend who’s American keeps telling me that in the states that’s a rare sight! It’s crazy!!
This is what happens when the taxes they raise telling us it is for Road upgrades gets laundered
I love how respectful you are to everyone even when they’re being harsh on you.
Wow. Astonishing how inept the authorities are. I have been binge watching since I found your channel this morning. Thank God there are folks like you guys out there to care for these families and bring swift closure after what for some has been a lifetime of uncertainty. Bless you all, stay safe out there.

I initially disliked the sheriff for how they reacted to you, but I can respect the officer that had it in him to apologize for it after they realised you were only trying to genuinely help. Good guy.
Such a shame that the authorities own pride stands in the way of collaborative working in order to get a thorough and potentially speedier outcome for a bereaved family. Thank you for everything you do .
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They would never admit a citizen has better investigation skills after they spent so many hours training
I don't think it is only pride. There's to be a lot of pressure from outside as well so they kind of have to show results of their own. I'm not saying that pride is not a factor at all, but knowing how savage press can be in this day and age, they have to be considerate of that, too, sadly.
@@MediCali951 It really isn’t that much training which is probably part of the problem in a big way.
@@jamesderbutler from all of these videos, Seeing them act similarly in town after town, I think it’s pride and embarrassment for it being revealed how little they really do. A friend of mine went missing as a grown woman and we learned the hard way that the police do not do much. A third party team was much more helpful in finding any leads at all. The police just try to convince you it isn’t an issue or suspicious. They tried to say she ran away when she left behind all her money and her car was found abandoned with the driver seat pushed back and unknown fingerprints.
I remember watching this vehicle going over and my heart felt for the family. Thank you so much to this team that dedicates their time to reuniting lost loved ones with their families❤️
Oh no!!,was actually there?
To witness that,must of been so shocking.
I hope your ok? 🙂🙏🏽
Where u there ?
Omg you actually SAW it happen?! Wow how devastating 😢 so sad for the family as well but so glad these guys were there and the police finally found this man. Wish the cops and divers wouldn't have had egos that got in the way tho and allowed the team here to help sooner but just glad he's returned to his family
I love how authorities shoo you away, and then agree with you when you find the object they're searching for (for 2 days). Thank you for everything you do to provide families with answers.
Heartbroken for Antonio's family and friends. Thank you for continously and tirelessly being there to help and support the families you do. I feel privileged to be apart of your journey and to be a member of the AWP family ❤️
"The car's right here"
"We know"
"Are you the guy who was on the blue boat?"
"Yes"
"Do you think you could mark it again for us?"
Yup. They totally didn't know.
What total and utter crap.
Regardless of someone apologising after the event, I bet EVERY INCIDENT that goes like thst will forever be mentally noted.
I can see that eventually they will call you asap so yiu can work together. Your small group would have to be the best regardless of what the authorities say.
Authorities get paid by the government regardless. You dont, so it means more to people with folk like you around.
Action speaks louder than Words!

@@richlaue Living in Oregon myself, public funds just don't go where they should even though they basically tax us for paying taxes.

Thank you Jared and Doug for helping this family out as well as helping the sheriff when they finally asked. I am proud to be part of AWP. Tell Dan the video is awesome. You all take care of yourself.
I can already tell by the comments on this video as it's beginning, that the local authorities are going to piss me off.
Thank you guys for doing this. Being brave enough to dive down to the potentially unspeakable, not to mention your knowledge and experience, is incredibly remarkable. I applaud your efforts, and pray God keeps you guys safe and blesses your adventures.
Yes so frustrating and sad, unfortunately we are treated as things and not humans, this team had the urgency for reaching out the dad, husband a love one from a family and the authorities only have protocols and insurances everything about money expenses and who takes the credit shameful indeed.
They shouldn’t have pissed you off, AWP is not an authority figure here and did not have the clearance to be there, you can’t just wander into a murder scene and go “We’re helping!” And expect the police to not tell you to piss off, the fact they came back to ask for help and apologise shows that they understand and now recognise the skill of AWP but you can’t just expect them to get a free pass at every crime scene simply because you want them to or because they have a past of helping, authority still has to be respected and the proper procedures taken to ensure both parties can cooperate together prior to the recovery, if they had divers in the water for example another boat being nearby is VERY dangerous
@@mpshotattwice3253 However as it stood all they had reasonably to go on was what AWP said, the same applies, if it is an active crime scene the police can't have randoms in the area, especially when it's water based since disturbances can make recovery much more difficult or if there is divers etc in the water and a random boat pulls up it runs the very real risk of injuring that diver, it's clear the police did want to find him themselves but let's not pretend asking them to leave wasn't reasonable.
The so-called "Authorities" have disgusted me for years Kaitlin. I've had to lose two people in my life in the last 10 years. I nearly lost my own life because of them being inept.
Yup. Another station that needs full reform. Shameful they clock in for that easy buck.
I'm just so glad the cops realized how badly they needed you. Pride goeth before a fall.
It’s weird to say I love this channel. But to see people be so efficient at their job, and being able to bring closure to families, is powerful. I’ve shed some tears watching this channel. What this team does is not easy, and I can’t imagine how heavy some of these finds are for these gentlemen, especially the kids. Salute to AWP. INCREDIBLE Chanel 🙏🏽
How their attitude changes when they need your help... no way they saw that car down there and went to lunch...My heart goes out to his family 💔😰
Absolutely agree ma'am . And it is upsetting that these men did what they did and found Mr Lopez then the sheriff's office stepped in and almost seemed like they was going to take credit for all of this . I'm not bashing the sheriff's office or anyone just saying these men are the reason this case was solved . We need more ppl like this is this world amazing ppl and thank for all you do .
Yeah. Ya just knew they were full of it... 😅
At the end, all that matters is that Antonio was found and brought home. Well done for responding and then not giving up when you were told to move away.
I have to say I don't understand why the people who are responsible and paid can't find anything, yet these guys have found alot of people who have been missing. Great job
And, they don't stop for lunch.
They are not as trained or as experienced - as Adventure with Purpose’s team is
@@sabejreid2072 a lot of police department don't have the equipment like they do or the experience using it. Practice and knowing your equipment is the key.
This just shows how difficult this searching can be in contrast to how easy your team sometimes makes it look.
Well done Adventurers with Purpose.
Sending my condolences to the family and friends of Mr Lopez. Thanks for being there for the family Jared and Doug.
The amount of heartache the Sheriff’s department could have saved Mr Lopez’s family if they had swallowed their pride to begin with is evident, however I am impressed that they did come and apologise for the way they behaved toward you guys.
The fact that they made you remove your maker was downright irresponsible. I understand the PD not wanting civilians involved sometimes for several different reasons but they don't have to be rude about it and let pride get in the way.
so very sad and I was pleased that the sheriff gave you an apology.
I now realize why many families suffer from authorities not finding their loved ones. AWP not only found this man, they also left a marker for authorities to show them exactly where the car was. After they removed their marker these people still couldn't find the vehicle, that's is negligence at its worst. If AWP weren't there on that day there's no way the police diving team would have found that vehicle in a million years. AWP are such awesome guys, total respect to each and everyone of yous and what you do for these grieving families.
It’s sad that a lot of the sherif departments aren’t keen on AWPs help, they know who you are and what you do, when that officer/Sheriff came back saying he knew the car was there I honestly don’t believe that, his pride got in the way there and that’s just sad as all he did was waste more time in getting Mr Lopez out of the water making the family wait longer
Jared, Doug and Scott, thank you for rushing to be at the families side and aid in the Recovery, I am honoured to be a member of this community you are all building, God bless you all, God certainly knew what he was doing bringing all you guys together from all areas of the U.S ❤️

Thank you AWP for the work you do you guys are amazing and so humble after the way that people treat you when you're just trying to help bring peace to the families who are suffering.
My worst fear. Drowning and or burning to death. This is so sad. I feel terrible for the family and how much this man had to suffer going in that cold water and not being able to escape. It’s so awful.
Same here.
i'd want to die in my sleep. just, drifting off, to nothing, without even realising it.
he may have died on impact, thats a high bridge
I've told my girls if they ever think they are going in water... very first thing is open the window, thens eat belt off. My worry is the being stuck in the cqr, with electric s that are going to stop instantly you hit. We have a small brick surrounded river in town, like 5 metres wide, 2 metres to water... yet a man died a few years ago after rolling in. My girls were only 10 and 9 at the time but i wanted it instilled just like rules for crossing the road.
@@somewherehere424 let them known they can remove their head rest and use the metal ends to try and break their window if trapped
Sucks that the police/sheriff let their ego get in the way at first. Things could have happened a lot more quickly if they had just accepted the help upon your arrival. But I'm glad to see that the sheriff humbled himself and came to apologize at the end. It takes a lot of guts to swallow pride. Y'all did a wonderful job, as always.
Nah b😅😢😊😂 18:00 7@5😢🎉😮(
At the very least, Police should've found out who these guys were, before dismissing them like weekend fisherman.
What's sad is if they let them help from the beginning the car would have been found sooner and he would have been out sooner. 🥺 rest in peace Antonio.

It's honestly sad that authorities acted the way they did. I feel sometimes they forget the real reason they do things shouldn't be about "we don't want help we want to find it" take the help you can get to help some a d there families. You guys are so amazing at what you do!
Well, it IS Portland. Any decent cops that might've been there were driven out during the Summer of Love's mass exodus.
In a world where a large portion of our population behave immaturely, reactive in emotion, and with an extra large ego; you guys are the complete opposite. We need more people like you with a purpose! You stay focused on the mission, with a demeanor and character many could benefit from. Thank you for helping this family and all the while being just humble good guys!
Why are so many law enforcement agencies complete assholes? It's disappointing to always see them act that way. Good job to you guys for finding the target, as always.
@Birdie My husband is black and has never had an altercation with the police. My dad on the other hand is white and has had plenty. Why? Because he's reckless, irresponsible and doesn't care about the law. Stop believing leftist propaganda and you may begin to see clearly.
@@tryphenarose384 oh stop trying to oppress yourself. not every black individual is going to have bad run ins with cops especially depending on where they are from..BUT people of color are more likely to have bad experiences so please stfu
@@tryphenarose384 same, my dad is white but always gets in trouble because he can’t stop mouthing off. Wish he would realize that’s it’s his attitude rather than other people around him.
To be fair, first thing I would be worried as a cop is that they would come and mess up the evidence. It has happened a lot in the past when people from outside try to come and help and don’t understand the procedure so the person wouldn’t get found or evidence would get tampered.
Never know, this could have been a murder.!
They are doing what they think is best to uphold the law, most of the time. But often times they are very misguided about what's best.
Damn. I crossed that bridge during that storm and immediately regretted it. Was sliding all over the place. Felt like a survival situation. Guess I was right. Wow.
May God bless everyone involved. Sincere and humble prayers for you all.
With all the law enforcement under staffed they should be greatly appreciated your services.
I'm so glad he's family got closer praying for he's family
Police: We know its there!
Everyone: Then why didn't you mark it?
Those “authorities” should be ashamed of their behavior. Selfish pride
At least the sheriff apologize
@Aqua Fyre agreed
It's not really about pride when they don't know other people's experience. They are on a recovery they don't need to have it turn into a search and rescue as well. How would you feel if someone came into your job with no experience or same amount of experience and not being part of your company and started telling you how to do your job
@Aqua Fyre Tough job? Bull
I don't think it's pride. The authorities have rules and regulations they have to abide. They have to do things to also keep the public safe. Imagine if one of these divers was hurt or even died during this, the police would have been the first to get blamed. Why didn't they stop them, why didn't they chase them away. I applaud AWP, but you can't just put yourself in the middle of a police procedure and expect them to accept you with open arms.
Rest in peace Antonio. 💗 My thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones. Thank you to the entire AWP for all of your hard work, dedication, passion, and determination to finally bring answers to families of missing loved ones. 💞
Hey jared, I really admire how much respect you have for the police, dive team and families! You should be involved more and take more credit and you sit on your hands when told. You guys do an incredible job and love watching. I was fascinated on the new live sonar system how we could see the car and the grappling hook live going down, that was very cool. Keep up the good work!
I watched this live and I’ve gotta say, with this case and others, it really bothers me when AWP gets pushed back, told to step aside, especially after THEY have located the vehicle and a family’s love one!! I could go on a rant about this, but I won’t!! It’s not about “who” gets credits, it’s about finding a family’s love one!! AWP are “Angels in Wet Suits”🤿❤️🪝
I’m glad they apologized at the end. But it literally took AWP 10 minutes. And after 2 days the police still had not found it. I know it’s stressful but AWP are very well known all police should know they do not do this for the notoriety, they do this for the family’s and there peace of mind. It’s not like it’s there first recovery and won’t be there last. I just feel that if you have a group like this willing to assist, you should take the help and be grateful for the help.
The person was already dead, they weren't going anywhere. You want police to get better? Guess what? They have to run a recovery and learn their specific tools by themselves. They're almost always training people at the same time. Additionally, if you let civilians participate, you become responsible for them. AWP is well known by TH-cam viewers, that's it. Do you know how many randos show up at scenes like this? There are divers and organizations that do this regularly and work a lot better with local authorities because they are known in the area and have had their credentials validated.
My heart goes out to his wife. 35 years, I could not imagine losing my soulmate after so much time. I hope she finds joy in the little moments.
When will the authorities realize that you guys know what you’re doing.....it’s so silly when you’re dealing with peoples lives that they care “who” found it! Be better people, be better. The only thing that should matter is bringing him home.
Called legal issues lmao who cates uh greedy lawyers lmao
The authorities already know that AWP know what they are doing! Thats the real problem! They dont want to have 2 guys in a raft find a car in 30 minutes while they have millions in equipment and didn’t find anything in 3 days. They need to justify their existence and importance.
@@asfandbabar5635 You right they cant accept it that AWP are the real proffesionels!!
@@DOLfirst wouldn’t doubt it, absolute power corrupts absolutely, I’m certain the sheriff who apologized only did so after knowing they were being recorded, “i didn’t know your role in this” was bs...
“They have a good dive team, I’ll give them that”
2 divers deployed and can not find the vehicle, police boat comes back over and acts like they didn’t yell at you before cuz they now need your expertise.
That sheriff’s personnel are a bunch of idiots!!! 😜😜🤡🤡🤡🤡
was nice of the officer to come and apologise. Pity they didn't just use ur first marker. Thing would have happened a lot quicker. Very sad. But well done guys yet again. Xx
Wow… just Wowwww
It’s horrible how the sheriffs let their ego get in the way of the search and rescue. Thank you Adventure with purpose for your help in all you do. 🙏🏽
After you were chased off, it is very kind for you to stay to help if they needed you. I loved it when they asked you to REmark it. You are so much nicer than I am. Thank you for helping and always being so kind. Maybe one day they will request you and you can be paid for your work.
idk why but hearing they were married for 35 years is what made me start crying. Such a good man. He deserved more.
He’s in a beautiful place rest assured. I’ve been there………🌅💗
Yes, he was a very hard working husband and dad. May he be blessed with eternal peace.
This one made me cry. I'm happy they found his body and he can be put at rest. It's sad that they had to go through something like this.
It's horrible and heartbreaking. These guy are amazing.
