====================
MISSING VETERAN: Donnie Lee Erwin (59) The Search Begins
• MISSING VETERAN: Donni...
Donnie disappeared in his 2002 Hyundai Elantra, having headed to a store in Camdenton, Missouri to buy cigarettes. A staple in his community and deeply missed by his family, especially his sister Yvonne, who has spent the last eight years hoping for answers.
Challenged by thunder, lightning, and the destructive aftermath of severe storms, we continue our meticulous search, unwavering in our quest to bring closure to Donnie's family.
Despite being met with obstacles such as blown-out roads and a dangerously turbulent dam, the team perseveres. We consult maps, analyze previous search footage, and devise new strategies to ensure we cover all potential locations where Donnie might be.
Donnie is a disabled veteran with his left leg amputated above the knee with the unfortunate discussions of needing to amputate his other leg soon.
As civilian divers cracking cold cases for free, we represent the last hope for many families who have given up on finding their missing loved ones. This episode vividly illustrates the risks and challenges involved in underwater searches, especially in adverse weather conditions and challenging terrain.
In one poignant scene, we hold a group discussion to address safety concerns about searching near a low-head dam, which is notorious for its dangerous currents. We discuss various safety measures, highlighting the severity of the situation and our unwavering commitment to this critical mission.
Join us in this deeply moving journey of discovery, and witness first-hand the immense dedication and bravery needed in the search for Donald Lee Erwin. Despite the perils we face, our resolve remains strong - to find Donnie and bring him home.

Jared, you absolutely hit the nail on the head...this is my language...humans caring for each other. I think this is the most wonderful and awesome thing ever!
Bless you Yvonne, your love for Donnie is so precious, I pray you continue to remember the joys in your life with him
Was living out at Lake Of the Ozarks when he went missing. Thank you all so much for all you do and not giving up!
Donnie has been found this week at Lake of the Ozarks. His car was located underwater.
AWP is so important to watch because we can learn more about safety for ourselves and others. I love how Jared and his team bring comfort to so many people around the nation, that’s why a help AWP so they can do what they do best. Nobody else does it better. God bless this team and give Jared knowledge every day so he can be guide to the right place so he can bring love ones home. I ❤you guys.
It's a shame things couldn't have turned out better for the search and for the group. Keep on doing what you need to do Jared to continue the search for missing loved ones. We will stand by you and your new crew!
My heart goes out to this poor woman. 😭💔 Sending prayers that they find him and she gets the peace she needs. 🙏🙏
He was found by Echo Divers in a shallow pond by the airport.
Was so praying you would find him , just so his sister could heal some more , you guys are special , what you do is phenomenal for these families ❤
Jared, your purpose in life is every time you bring someone home. That is more than most can say they have achieved in life!! Keep on doing what your doing hun. Love from me in England xxx
❤
It is a blessing having you both back together again💖💖🥰👍🙏
@@christie-leetaylor7444Correct. Filmed approx June of 2022.
Still standing by you Jared. I hope you guys have ironed out differences becuz you both are an asset when working together on saving people. Love to u all. God bless.
Thank you guys for everything you do,I miss Doug being there now,But you cannot let that or anything stop the mission you are on my Brother!!!
Doug left to go teach
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage I wondered what happened to him, I do miss him and wish him the very best. He was my favorite. God bless
@@DramaMustRemainOnTheStagecapp he left because that cold case some one in the group had on they self let’s be real
You learn who ur friends r, that's for sure.
Doug has his chanel and another that gives information of what he doing now ..
Finally found and recovered. December 2023. Everyone who kept on looking and kept coming back continued to narrow down where he cou,d be. Well done EVERYONE.
The fact that you guys always have hope of finding someone is amazing! It gives the family hope that they will find their loved ones and I thank you for that I’m glad he was eventually found!❤ bring him home. Thank you for never giving up on anyone.
Donnie was finely found and brought home!! Echo divers found him in a pond.. glad his family now has answers!! RIP SIR!!
Jared im so happy your back! I missed you when you were gone your the hart of aventure with a PURPOSES xx
Great video Jared you will forever be remembered for all the people that you have found and are going to find in the future ❤
Thank you for what you do Jared. If I was a diver I would come out. Unfortunately I’m just an old disabled trucker that’s only good for where to go eat and been everywhere in the US and most of Canada. Keep it up. If feel if one doesn’t have closer it is the worst kind of pain.
Just to say if it wasn't for you guys and people like you who help families and bring their loved ones home then those lost souls would never be found , your heart and soul is into it ,it shows . You listen to the families and search close to their home , no stone is unturned now that's dedication 👏
Gentlemen, Still looking searching and helping, giving hope. Amazing...
you guys purpose is to help others find their lost ones...I love watching your videos even if they are sad but they remind us that good people are still out there
Love seeing you guys together. I miss that. Keep up the great work where ever you may be. God bless you all and stay safe.
What you said at the end of this video really hits you in the heart. Because I feel the pain these people are going through and you all try your best to help find these people that are lost. Every episode I watch I can't stop watching and hoping the best for the families you all have a heart of gold and I am always hoping that each episode is going to have a happy ending and that the families can get the closure they need. I know you are not super heroes and that every case may not have the ending you are hoping for but at the end of the day you tried and that's what makes the difference especially in the world we are living in right now you don't give up. But anyway you guys are great and if I am still alive before you that's how I want to remember you all that you tried when others gave up on these families. Thank You All So Much. God Bless You Always 🙏💜🙏
AWP, Jared, Doug - I can speak on behalf of myself and so many others that you have taught us kindness can truly bring peace to us all, even in times of ultimate grief. We can be there for one another, we can help one another, we can love one anothe through times of great loss since it is something we will all experience one day. Thank you for the time, the effort, and the empathy you give to these families. This grief is so unique to them because they can't find their loved ones without you. Seeing those answers you give is true human decency. Thank you, AWP (and the other TH-cam divers that have worked with you as well).
Thank you for going back and looking for Donnie as you promised that you would. ❤
at times we fail to realize how precious life is. when one least expect it tragedies occur. god has definetely blessed the AWP team with the gift of bringing loved ones home so that the families can have some type of closure. God bless ya all. My heart goes out to all the families that have lost a love one under these circumstances....
I was born and raised at the lake of the ozarks, it's really weird seeing an episode from home. I used to fish from those docks at Ha Ha Tonka and I was baptized as a teenager where they were searching.
I am so happy to see you both together again working to bring everyone home. Bless your hearts❤
This was an older video they are not together. Doug went his own way
@@wesleyshoup3936Yes. He want his own way. Actually I'm glad to see Jared do the videos. I'm sure Doug contributed his part but there wasn't really anything more he could contribute. I adore Jared. He is so much more genuine of heart imo
What a shame
Yeah, this was recorded like 2 years ago judging by the comment that Jared made at the beginning of the video.
@@WhitneyBrock88My guess is June 2022, based on trailer being used, Jacob Grubb's boat, and Josh from the (now non-existant) Adventuring the Ozarks (ATO).
You all are very special, what you do helps many loved ones in their journey of a lost loved one, find peace.. Thank you for helping all that you do..
Jared you guys are awesome. Never giving up. Keep doing what your doing. God bless you all so much.
You are wonderful. You heal, bring closure. Your amazing. You are all loved. Thank you.
God Bless You and the team and the job all of you do. Long time admirer here. From Washington state. Thank you.
I too am the sister of a Marine veteran who was in the front lines in Nam. His friend from our small town didn't make it back alive. Prayers from one sister to another. If your brother can be found they'll find him. 🙏❤
Very kind and hopefully healing message to Donnie's sister, Yvonne.
The hard work and dedication you out in is amazing and the way you take each case as if your looking for own loved one is really beyond this world keep doing great things never give up and keep helping those who need you and god will lead you to find Donnie and many more.. sending love from Philly ❤❤
Some day you'll find Donnie and until then there are alot more families out there you can help. I have faith in you and your team. You'll find him. God Bless and stay safe
Thank u for ur great work suffering from mental health my self watching ur videos keep me here
Thank you for your honesty and sharing such a sensitive topic.
From one AWP fan to another, I hope you've discovered ways to cope and adjust. Even if you have yet to find the treatment that works, be patient; there have been many advances in treatment.
you are here for a reason please stay strong ❤️
Jared, you are very kind and attentive to the families you try to help. Great message, to keep in mind that nobody is promised tomorrow.
I really appreciate all that you do for these families. I think you all are heros and very kind caring people.
Im back as a member I love what you all do xx
Thanks for all you guys do. It's great to see you all together again. Keep up the outstanding work. Prayers always go out to you all and the families of those you find.
They're not all together again, this has obviously been pre-recorded before Doug and the others left
Yes, I know that. Thanks for another reminder
@sleepynightowl1550 Not all left. Just the ones who became obsessed with their own "acting" careers.
Watch the beginning of the, "The recovery we didn't see coming".
Echo Divers found Donnie. He was by the airport and cemetery in a small pond on December 14, 2023, 3.5 miles from his home. It is really nice to see people out looking for missing people.
Isn't that the pond that they got denied access to?
@@mystiesharp1087 I don't remember. Sorry 😢
@geneg4246 that's fine. If so, I think it is crazy how AWP was denied access to the pond, but Echo Divers used the drone to find the vehicle and then was granted access. If only AWP was given access prior, he would have been recovered a year ago.
@@mystiesharp1087 I agree. Find it interesting peoples attitude. From police, people looking, asking for facts, to running the plates. How about " let's all help find this people". Some of these have been super simple ( not making fun of all that goes into the search). An example, the lady who was in a green box SUV. Was the top 12" below the surface. The water was green as was the car. At the end of a dead end dirt road. Glad she was found!!!
You're amazing bunch of men giving your time for others 🙏 God's blessings to you and stay safe 🙏
Thank you for all that you do Jared. I’m proud to be a contributor.
Oh goodness 😭 shedding tears for Donnie.. thank you for your heart ❤️ in this..and his family..so grateful for you kiddo that you never given up on your brother
I hope you find Donnie ...this is so close to us, here in Kansas. I have heard of his disappearance and have wondered if he would be found. Best wishes to AWP. and may God Bless you all
You guys are awesome. Thank you for your service and thank you for bringing answers and sometimes peace to families. Stay safe. ❤
I’m guessing this is a few months old given Doug and others jumped ship. Jared keep doing what you do and hopefully the new team are more loyal.
Isnt it almost year now?
@@YellowWhiteRose Filmed approx June 2022 based on the trailer AWP is using, boat Jacob Grubbs is using, and (the now non-existant S & R team) Adventuring the Ozarks making an appearance at the end.
Thank you for what you do it means so much to those you are helping. May God be with you. God bless you from Michigan ❤️
So happy to see you both!!!
This is an older video that had not been released until now.
So Doug is not back ughhh
@@bigjaquatics
Not welcome back
Thank you for doing this video!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Oh and praying for you I was just wondering why somebody would wait 30 years to press charges. it just doesn’t make sense to me keep doing what you’re doing to help the family you are used to be praying for you
❤
Purpose. ❤️ Love your message at the end. Definitely hits in the heart. Love you guys and what you do.
I love what you guys do. Please keep up the good work. And i hope and pray that everyone is found soon.
Really good to see Doug back!
He's not back. We have a backlog of cases we've worked we are still editing from a year ago.
Will he ever come back?
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Wish you could find Bryce Borca in Eagan, Minnesota
@@dustinjohnson4890No!!
Not welcome back.
As he began envisioning his future acting career, he lost focus on the searched. Can't pay attention to the scans when you busy doing retakes of yourself -' "self proclaiming" to be the best in the world.
@@danielkelly1210not a case I've heard of. Please, send the information to support@adventureswithpurpose.com especially, the vehicle details.
Omg u guys are flipping awesome and amazing I can't even explain the feeling I have about what u do it's just amazing,every time u find a missing person I cry my eyes out with so much sadness and being happy at the same time because u gave these families so much peace and joy to bring them home,And that is probably the most amazing thing that theses families don't have to wonder anymore where their love ones are,All I can say Adventures with a purpose keep doing what you're doing it's people like you that make this world a better place♥️♥️👍🙏🙏
I will always support this channel! Such great videos
I got roasted awhile ago for commenting that this so called woman is coming off very shady. One thing in making comments and allegations against Jared but she went to through AWP, emailed AWP, and fractured the group. Trying to destroy everything that was built... the most unselfish dedicated organization providing closure for missing people’s loved ones. It sucks people left… they are all great people too but the at the end of the day… this has and always will always something that Jared created and evolved into what AWP is today. And it is because of Jared that those other individuals are continuing to do “similar” TH-cam channels and use the skills he taught him to continue helping with cold case investigations. In the end, I have watched and listened to AWP grow from river clean up to finding that first car and man. I have followed from the beginning and mostly it has to do with Jared’s passion… you can not fake empathy and care.
❤
That is a very moving message. Thank you for sharing.
I, am pleased to see the others leave; especially Doug. They forgot what this was truly about and became concerned about their future acting careers.
i really do miss the old team.......sigh....the new one is good to just miss watching young and old together, great job keep doing what you do
So good to see the 2 of you together 👊 proud of you guys
💜❤Love you guys. Be Well. Stay Safe, and God Bless. We care. ❤💜
For anyone who wants to end their life please rethink and regroup. Your tired. Rest and sleep on it. Tomorrow is a new day and you will have a new perspective. The sadness and hurt it causes the people who love you is deep and life changing. We die soon enough. Stick around and enjoy every little moment no matter how small. We should never take a moment for granted and we should always give thanks to our maker above. Thankyou Adventures with Purpose for all the long hours, care and danger that you endure and put into all your endeavors to bring closure to these families ❤
Thank you. That is a beautiful message. I hope it reaches at least one who needed a sign to hold on.
❤
Sono contenta che ci siano persone come voi che riuscite a dare speranza siete i miei eroi
i appreciate what you all do to help families but also the education you provide about safety, like pointing out roads with curves that could easily be missed. Maybe because I'm a Pisces(?) I'm always living next water and never really thought about the dangers is anything but swimming. I'm living next the water where Samantha Hopper was located. Now I do notice the curves with low or no guardrails, the areas that often flood, etc.
❤
😊
Wow😮 thank you 😊
This is reality TV I will definitely watch.
Welcome! 😊
In case no one warned you -- it can become addictive.
My heart breaks for Yvonne. I can't imagine her pain. I hope she gets answers soon. Sending hugs along with prayers for strength to continue to endure and keep the faith. 🤗🙏
I love what you are doing.
Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock lake, and Beaver Lake are all great lakes around Missouri and Arkansas.
Thank you for all the work you do 🙏
You guys do an amazing job. Wish I'd known you were in the area, Jared. We could have gotten that previously postponed interview. Be Safe!
This was filmed just over a year ago.
😅
You completely missed a huge area by the tunnel dam. On top of that ridge that overlooks the dam there is a gravel road, Tunnel Dam Rd. that has almost vertical cliffs on either side. Its called Meades Bluff. You could easily drive a car off of that and into the river by the old power plant or drive off the road into the woods and never be found. Really that whole river shoupd be scanned, so many places to drive off. If i were to off myself back there, it would be off that cliff
HOPEFULLY JARED WILL SEE YOUR COMMENT AND GO BK DONNIE NEEDS TO BE FOUND FOR HIS SISTER'S SAKE!!
To ensure Jared sees this, please email the information to support@adventureswithpurpose.com
@@judi_just_judi AND HE WILL COMMENT BK HE HAS WHEN I EMAILED HIM!!!
As much as all the guys who left were an asset to the brand, to hell with them. They left u in a time when you kind of needed them.
They acted as if they done nothing bad in their lives or never made mistakes. Hypocrites.
Carry on doing what you doing. Bring people home❤
Lots of respect for what y'all do.
What a precious lady...
❤
Strong as HELL, Sister! Impressive!
Camping there so many times as a kid. There is so many places he could be if that's where he is at😢
Never doubted Jared for a minute keep doing what your doing and bring those loved ones home jared!!
❤
😊
Thanks you for everything you do for people. Doug mom has a 2017 Hyundai Elantra that has a 45 litre tank. On the dashboard it show 675km on a full tank
Salute to Jared... Because of his amazing and big heart theres so many copying and trying to destroy him. God knows what your doing and hey those people will never be successful because of any accusations. When you do it before much better this time because you have so much people help..
Prayers that your next search brings him home. 🙏🏻
Like to say it is Great what you do to bring ounces to families what do you investigations I am a big fan and I am from London England
Is is just me noticing or what but if im not mistaken he always says the dive that he is on is his most heart touching moment so he wants to do everything he can or says this is the saddest story ive ever heard in every video
so what?
@@hollacewilliams4341 so why say that one is the MOST touching one just say its sad send condolences and thats that why lie about how u feel about something its just weird like he's trynna bring u in to watch by saying that
May the Lord Bless you in abundance Jared!
Love your work Jared and what you do for families who need answers. I just wonder would it not be handy to have underwater drone to use when you guys are in doubt? Is it a car? Is it some metal wreck? Or whatever could just throw the drone camera down. Maybe you have ruled out something that was a car that scare me. Keep up great work.
I stumbled across one of your videos just a couple of days ago you made in cooperation with Exploring with Nug. I was immediately intriggued of what you and all the other guys like chaos divers or AdamBrownAdventures do to give families answers. I watched dozens of videos since then and every single one touched my heart, especially the ones where you were able to bring someone home.
But for me, living in germany, far away from the U.S., not having money to donate, there isn´t much to do to support you and your work. The only thing I can do is to subscribe to your channels (which I allready did) and watch your videos. But that doesn´t seem enough to me. I want to do more, but I have no idea what I can do from here.
Welcome!AWP understands not everyone is able to make a financial contribution (become a Member). The great news is there are ways to assist that are free for all of us.
Subscribing, commenting, liking (even on comments), and sharing all help boost that goofy YT algorithm. The more action on the video, the wider its viewing audience. You're off to an awesome start !
Peace and grace to you ma’am!
you have done so much good for family's god bless
The A team is back together!!! About time!👍🏼
No, The J team is back!!
This was recorded approx June 2022.
the ending of the video gets you 😭
You guys so good, thank you!
This is an oldie, but still good.
We've never aired this content before. We are about a year beyond on editing a lot of our footage.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose I know that you just now posted this, but what I mean is it was shot quite a while ago. I know that videos can take quite some time to edit. I hope I didn't offend you Jared. I really hope that someday Donnie can be found. Such a heartbreaking story.
No worries at all. We are back logged about a year of releasing searches we've completed.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose ❤❤❤ I know that you are a very busy person and I want to thank you for responding to most of my comments recently. :)
Sono commossa che ci siano persone come voi in questo momento molto superficiale siete i miei eroi
Blessings your way the search team...
Tunnel dam is such a beautiful spot! Thank you guys for continuing the search
Good luck !! Good health ! Godspeed!
You all please be safe 🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are special keep doing what you are doing ❤👍🍻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Keep up your amazing work, 😊
I love jared and all the crew on the team and I hope one day I can meet you guys someday I love how you guys solve people missing family's
It’s a shame Doug left but I stand by you as I know what it’s like to be wrongly accused with everything pointing to you being guilty I was set up by a stalker a very convincing one❤
So true and I feel that people can change for the better. Let continue supporting Jared because he does amazing work.
I have always supported Jared ever since he first had earlier videos of clearing out rivers he is the reason I've watched their videos.
I'm sorry, but I think I did not get a hold of what you are talking about. Could you please explain to me what happened?
@@elenagruber5953 I suggest looking for Krimey Kyndie on YT or FB if you'd like the whole story.
@@judi_just_judi wow, I am 13 minutes into that video you suggested, and I have a load of thoughts running through my head. none of us REALLY knows the truth, however, as one of the people commenting that video said: "Exactly why I did not cancel my AWP membership. I have enough life experience to know that accusations are just that and unfortunately there are twisted people that make false accusations."
As it seems, all of them had a F**** UP childhood, however, making one-person-accusations does not seem to be the right way to go here, if at all. They were all born into it. People make mistakes. All of them do. However, you can sense whether someone has a good-intended heart inside them or not.
I'm stunned right now, did not hear about any of it before.
Thank you for everything you do to help all these family's, bring their loved ones home. I know you will eventually find Donnie. I'm sorry I didn't drive thee few miles to see you when you found Kiely Rodni, I'm so sorry for what you saw. The look on your face when you came up, is one ill never forget. We all know this was a murder. Please Donnie's family excuse me for using your page, but Kielys "accident" wasnt', I also had a close friend murdered 2 years ago, heard on scanner he was found with his head cave in by a mag lite. But the autopsy said it was a overdose. So we aren't safe here in small town Northern California. Especially since I've been in a wheelchair since age 2. Thank You all.
How do I get in contact with your team
We have a Maine resident Alex Jackson from Maine he has been missing since May 2023. See news feeds. His dog was found near north Yarmouth Maine. No one has searched the lakes. We have a lot of lakes. One being Sabago Lake the deepest lake.
I am working to get the Family to contact you. East coast doesn't know about you.
send an email with details, especially related to the vehicle, to support@adventureswithpurpose.com
When did Jared get back?? I was subscribed for a long time, the notification not working?? Dang it!!!
Not sure where you think he's been. He never left us.
