I know that some of you may have watched Alan's final video of this search where he mentioned that we didn't find anything but he posted that video before we were able to meet with Susan's family who confirmed that some of the evidence that we found could very likely belong to Susan. We will not know until DNA testing has been completed but Susan's own father says that he is "confident" that we found some of her remains. Alan has become aware of this information and will be adjusting his video to reflect this new information that we received. Here is a news article speaking with Susan's father about our discoveries: kutv.com/news/local/susan-powells-father-confident-some-of-susans-remains-have-been-discovered
100% agree. Heavy D is living proof of the old adage: "From whom much is given, much is also required." And by golly, Dave delivers time and time again.
This series has me more intrigued than any truck giveaway or anything else that y'all have done. I'm a motor head but this is next level humankind right here. You guys are a special breed!
If that were my daughter that could be "buried" down that hole - I'd want someone to look for her with the same dedication and commitment that this team of men showed here in this video! This truly brings me confidence in the human family once again! Nice work gentleman!
@@stevenemes3937 And her father, Chuck - was there So yes, I agree - I would be digging too, but having help with an undertaking as daunting as this, you would welcome the help!
@@stevenemes3937 When you trust those that tell you that they are going to "...make every effort", wrapped up in the grief of your missing child - you sit back and hope that those people will keep that word, I would assume.
I love how you gave every single person on your team a shout-out and gave them the credit they deserve. This is an important part of good leadership and far too many leaders do not do this. I'm convinced everyone appreciated showing you see them and the work they do.
This means so much to the people in utah. I grew up right here next to all of this. We went to the same stores. The same gas stations. The hills behind our homes they searched. Thank you
We lived close by, too. When the news reported her missing and Josh's story, my kids and I knew it was total b.s. That was the worst snowstorm of the year! It was so bad. It was a whiteout and shut down the freeway for awhile. He went out camping with little kids in the remote desert in the whiteout? Not!
I'm in Boston and I followed this story to the heartbreaking end. I imagine it had to hit pretty hard for you folks closer to home. Such a tragedy. These guys are outstanding. That's some seriously treacherous work. It was particularly scary they were at the bottom when they were actually on a birds nest. It was heartwarming to listen to HeavyD express his gratitude for all the support he's getting from vendors and everyone watching. People care and are hoping for some closure for Susan's family.
I just feel the need to express my feelings on this situation; when a group of guys that have a TH-cam channel that have the resources, mindset, and physical capabilities to do the research on the case and pull together a plan that even professional recovering agencies didn't want to risk, makes them the true definition of MEN!! You guys have just planted a solid spot in my heart for taking this all the way and showing others what humanity is about. Hopefully that made sense. Love you guys for choosing to do this and praying the items are the closure the family deserves. Badass!!
Agree 100%. They risked their own lives just to help bring closure to that lead and potentially that case. I wish I could shake their hands. What a great group of people.
No father or mother should spend their twilight years looking, wondering, where their child’s remains are. I hope it is her, to give these parents peace. Good job, guys. 💜👍🏽
For anyone wondering, they were not her remains, seemingly not even human, thankfully. RiP Susan you and your boys deserved so much better. (quick google search brought this up ) "SEATTLE - Bones found in a Utah mine earlier this month do not belong to Susan Powell, Powell's father Chuck Cox revealed Thursday. “The DNA says they’re not human,” Cox said Thursday morning from his home in Puyallup. Cox said DNA from a pair of pants found in the area belonged to a male. Some other clothing items found in the area have yet to be tested, according to Cox." -
I teared up when I saw the father's patch that said, "I'd rather be flying." It was such a simple statement. The man went into the depths of the earth, far deeper than most othe people would go, the polar opposite than flying, just for the chance that he could bring his daughter home. I will never forget that.
Same!!! It really touched my heart and I just couldn’t help but feel for the man and the love he has for his daughter. He is so determined to bring her home. Made me cry 😢
That’s so heartbreaking seeing the father sitting there waiting for them to bring up pieces of his daughter. Also very heartwarming at the same time that these men are doing all of this work for that family. That’s a ton of work and in crazy conditions. Thank you guys for all this hard work and a great video.
Yes it had me all choked up too. I have two boys and one daughter. She’s the baby. I couldn’t imagine my husband standing around waiting for any sign of his daughter down there. God be with them.
@@Cantworship2gods they knew to look there because Josh had said he went camping close to there. And one of the men had been to that spot a few months before Josh went camping and he wanted to go down there but didn’t have the right equipment so he came back a month after the date Josh went “camping”. When he went the first time he remembered a big wooden thing built over the hole. When he went back it had been knocked into the hole and burned. So that’s why they think Josh put her down there and then burned and knocked down the wooden structure on top of her.
I have never encountered another human that made me truly want to be a better man than Dave Sparks has. I am 54 years old and i am overjoyed to find a younger human that is so inspiring.
Great to see Chuck again. I worked with him in Renton, WA. Chuck: Susan, the boys, you and your wife have always been in my thoughts. I truly hope you find Susan and bring her home:
When Susan’s father went down that mine, I almost cried. Even IF it wasn’t her reminds found. He is trying to find her and I am sure feels as if the world and they care for her to be found. What a wonderful amazing thing to do.
go read the story about this case. her husband and his brother are total pieces of filth. unbelievable how people like that exist and function normally
Supervised visits with his kids is something I will always remember! I pray they change the way SUPERVISED VISITS will be. Cox boys knew where Susan was left where their daddy put her!
Brother, I just found your channel because of the Lake Mead extraction. I have to say: Seeing men like you give me hope for humanity. You guys do amazing work, and you seem to have genuine hearts. Very rare in today's age. Cheers, men! Keep doing the good work! Subbed!
Me Too. It was great to see that man, Craig his houseboat rescued. Mead sure is going down awful fast as if its being drained. Very suspicious, as I'm sure many people are. 🤔 But this is One damn exciting channel and glad I founded it, Heavy D Sparks and Crew. 👏🏾 Was On the edge of my seat this whole show.
Having been in an abusive marriage with a narcissist, I really appreciated you shedding light on this. I have no doubt in my mind I would have ended up like Susan had I not made the decision to leave when I did. This happens way too much. I hope this encourages others in this situation to do what's best for them, especially if there are children involved. My heart breaks for those two boys.
@@Brian-mp2mv OMG so glad you are ok now! best of luck in your future, the good thing is now you can control what you will and will not accept in your life.
It’s scary to think about, n reading you saying that you think you could or would have ended up like Susan is terrifying, even though I don’t know you, I’m happy that you found a way out safely. My mother’s best friend was in an abusive relationship for years with the father of her first son when I was younger and seeing her come over in tears some nights with bruises and black eyes or marks on her always altogether broke my heart, angered me, and scared me. Thankfully, she too left that asshole and has since married a wonderful man that changed her life for the better and gave her a second beautiful little boy. It hurts me to know people are going through so much pain, abuse and fear like this, but it’s always nice to see or hear of when anyone in a situation like that safely finds a way out and makes a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
@@barberfabian Thank God🙏 My mom stayed a long time, nearly my whole childhood, with my abusive stepdad. Thanks to her jerk family, she had no help, and we were military, so we were always new, had no support.... Well, we aren't dead. And she finally got away. Respect to anyone who helped, even on the slightest level. Much appreciated🤗💗
When Susan’s father had his back to the camera, I just felt the need to lay a comforting hand on that man’s shoulder. You could feel the same hope he has to put an end to the unknown. God bless.
I couldn't agree more. I felt a compelling feeling like I wanted to give that man a hug, and I soon felt myself welling up. I paused the video, looked over at my 4yo and gave him a giant hug and kiss, told him I love him and will always love him. Make sure to tell those around you how much they mean to you. Always make sure your friends and family are doing good, taken care of, and have support. If we all did that the world would be a better place. Thanks for your comment brother. 👍
I'm gonna be honest, during the interview with her dad and he said "More parts, more pieces", I kind of lost it. This is a good thing you guys did. It's real hard sometimes to see the good left in the world but you guys embody that. Thank you.
the production value of this series' too good, they could've sped the whole process up instead of milking every single triviality and constantly driving the notion that they're doing it to 'help' people. filming takes time, sorting out through the hours of footage takes time and the interviews take time blah blah. you get the point. too much talk, too little action. the whole thing felt very pretentious, they spent too much on production costs and probably cut a bunch of corners to maximize their own profits. They aren't in it to help people, to them that is a BONUS, the whole point is to sucker you into watching a long video series filled with a ton of 'subtle' product placements and ads which they profit off of. Not to mention the free positive PR. They'll bounce once this trend dies down and he'll use his reputation to fatten his wallet even more. I'm not even asking for non-profit, some profit has to be made to maintain the operation but holy cow, the funds allocated to the specialized equipment/staff used to film and produce this series is EXCESSIVE and UNNECESSARY.
This video brought tears to my eyes. I watched a special on the Susan Powell case earlier this year and was so disturbed by it that I cried myself to sleep that night. I haven't forgotten about it since. You guys are nothing short of heroes. God bless you all.
I can see no one is talking about the tear that came out of his eyes when he found the first bone. That shows he is a man that is trying his hardest to find the missing person for that family. God bless you and your Crew.
@@DoktrDub if you are looking for a missing person and you do not shed a tear when you find bones and such. then you are not human at all. say what you want all men cry.
@@bradmarcum3160 Of course all men can cry it’s ridiculous to assume that’s not a thing, I’m just making a point, as well as the silly comment that you ain’t human if you don’t shed a tear when you find a bone, yeah you may shed a tear but is it synonymous with being inhuman if you don’t? No, I’m just stating facts here.
Even if it's not Susan, the possibility you've found someone else's missing loved one is quite high. I hope it's her, we all do, but either way you guys have done a very valiant thing.
Yup. a few random bits of bone at the bottom of a mine shaft is one thing - it's awfully hard to tell the difference between a human rib or vertebrae and the same bones from a dog, or a deer. But find those same bits of bone tangled up in fragments of clothing changes the whole picture... context is everything.
@@MrJest2 I work with historic mines doing a variety of work, including stuff like this, I can tell you bones and clothing are fairly common at the bottom of shafts, very rarely are they what you think, its usually animal bones and trash and the reasons for them being there are 99% of the time not malicious in any way. But I know this area in Utah has thousands and thousands of old shafts and exposed working, and you do occasionally (very rarely) find bodies in them.
@@MrJest2 in such a dry climate there should be significantly more bones then what they found. Most likely loose animal bones that found their way down there over the years
@@ariadne0w1 they were spraying the walls down with water to keep the dust under control. You could tell when they were digging how dry it was down there. Dust for days and when they pulled that massive board out of the dirt it was super dry not even slightly wet. Even if there was water down there, that is still too little time for bones to decompose like that. For there to be clearly recognizable vertebrae and rib bones, but the pelvis and femers to be completed decomposed in the same amount of time just doesn’t make any sense
There's an abandoned mine in AZ that has bones and a pile of children's shoes.Eazy to walk into and not that far back. Definitely eery. I wish someone would investigate it ! If I had a child missing I would want it investigated ! If I were law enforcement I'd want to be the hero who investigated it !So much appreciation and respect you guys aren't just flying over or taking a ride to make a video. Your out there digging useing equipment sweat tears and in dangerous places giving it all you got !!!
Around Miller and I 10 to the northwest around the powelines there are many mines. Just walking around you come across 2 or 3 that are just cut into the ground. If your not aware where they are and walking around look at the ground. I threw a rock in one and couldn't hear it land or hit the bottom at all. So many places out here.
Thank you for all your team's efforts. I saw it on the news about Susan being missing and for some reason, I thought "man that could've been me." A year earlier, I recognized my life was turning into a Lifetime movie. I was living in Boise when I was married to my 2 boys' dad, approximately 400 miles away from home and my family. The years of abuse were beginning to take its toll and I knew it was just matter of time before one of us were dead. Then one day he was showing off for someone and he told me "why don't you do us all a favor and go home to daddy." He didn't expect me to leave. Only I did, with permission even. My eyes were open that day. So, I could see the opportunity the good Lord was providing and I left. Within a month, he was headed to prison for 14 years (unrelated to me). Allowing me to raise my boys without his influence.
Dave, Your giving credit to all your team members and collaborators is truly an example of what a great guy you are. The dedication all these guys showed is commendable. I truly hope your mission comes to fruition. Again, God bless you all.
I remember watching this story being so horrified, and my heart breaking for her parents. Then thinking there has to be a way to go down those mine shafts, if not people maybe with a drone, or rover, something, somehow to find her, and wishing there were the resources available to do so. You guys are so awesome for feeling the same and being in a position to figure out those resources and try.
There is absolutely money and resources available to find most missing people (especially MMIW’s). Unfortunately our government spends it all on the military and American Imperialism instead.
@emmygoldman1065 lol, imagine thinking the govt cares about you whatsoever. You're nothing more than tax cattle that's worthless if you're not paying.
I have a heavy feeling that most of her remains are in the last bird's nest and some pieces have fallen thru as her body decomposed. I really hope there is a firey hell for Josh Powell. I will always think of Susan and her babies.
Oh, there sure is. Complete with demons who will torture him forever the way he tortured his family. FOREVER🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Meanwhile, Susan and the boys are finally at peace in heaven😇 Hope it was worth it, Josh🔥🔥🔥
I can't even imagine what this family is going through. Not knowing and no closure. Every parents worse nightmare. So sad and tragic 😥. Praying for the family.
You do realize your crew is risking their lives along with you, doing a pretty amazing service to these people. This is one of the best videos I've seen on TH-cam, and I've been watching for over 22 years.
Crazy loyal team. No way I would climb under that bird's nest, no matter how much money. They could have easily died, under the collapse, or when they were digging the bird's nest standing on top of it, especially with such Heavy balls of steel. Hats off guys.
@biblereader Sorry, I have been living in my current house for 22 years and thought I had been watching since then. I had cable internet before I moved to my current house!!! It was a big deal to have the cable transferred here. Now I have fiber optic! My bad for not completely investigating my statement I wrote on the internet. Another great example of internet fact checking. I can’t even imagine the flaming these internet stars get when they publish a not so accurate statement like I just did! They probably get flamed for accurate stuff to! No thanks to that stardom!
I just found your videos today after watching another channel about lake mead and seeing your comment asking about the stranded house boat. Gotta say I think it’s awesome what you guys do for people. Great content, can’t wait to see you guys help stranded house boat guy.
Me too. This channel is already huge, cant believe I hadn't ran across it until now. I believe that man with the houseboat needs more help. I'm sure he cant stay on Mead with the way water is going down.
eyes of her father. shows excruciating pain. an unbearable sense of loss. such a deep longing. My condolences, may God always bless you sir and for you "HeavyDSparks" team. you are a GREAT MAN. i wish you the best.
This is what a TH-cam artist should be doing with all the income their channel brings in. Help, do good, change the world, be a "great" inspiration for people. Thank you for ur service bro
I was an abused girlfriend who nearly died due to my ex strangling me and hitting me. To anyone going through domestic abuse esp where kids are involved get out in the beginning, don’t make excuses for them or think they will change. I didn’t could have lost my kids and my life! You are worth so much more!! Stay safe x Hoping you have found her, but even if not, you might have solved a different case. It’s enough that you care to look this hard for her. Thank you all for your hard work. To her family, sending you love and healing ❤️🩹
So very glad you made it out Tanya! It takes a bravery that very few people can understand. When a woman tells me she thinks her partner is the exception, I just remind them "Shanann Watts didn't think Chris would hurt her, and she was positive that he wouldn't have hurt the girls." 😞 Heartbreaking, but that's the cruel reality for our existence as women.
Guys fyi ignore the first comment since it's a scambot, report it and do not pay attention to whatever products and free packages they promote. Have a good day and take care
I went through this same exact thing whilst I was pregnant. Among other abuse situations with the same partner, it wasn't the first time but it sure was the last. I've raised my daughter alone for the last almost 4 years and successfully got away from him, he has no legal rights to my daughter either. Luckily we are both happy and healthy and thriving! Thank you for sharing. TH-cam comments is my secret and sacred place to share things like this where I can't with others. Unfortunately they do judge. I get "why would you stay?" And "why didn't you literally just leave?" More times than I can count
Not only did you try to help a family find a loved one and had one hellva adventure that you guys will never forget! Thank for all your efforts. The world needs more people like you guys.
I was born and raised in salt lake city, at the time of her disappearance i was around 15 or 16. Currently living in washington state almost 28. I still hear stories about that family even all the way out here.. so to hear and watch you all go through this to find her is beyond the hero status. The news even covered a small portion of what yall are doing even out here!!! So everything is being noticed nationwide!!! Thank you all!! N i hope the family finally gets their closer thats been long needed and overdue.
I hope forensics show that it is Susan and the family get some kind of peace. Proud to support your channel and hope anyone watching male or female that is in an abusive relationship see this and takes the first steps for help. You are an inspiration to us all and show there is kindness in humanity amongst all of the atrocities that go on around the world. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
I have enormous respect for you and your friends, and the extent that you’ve gone through to find Susan. The personal risk and expense is beyond anyone’s expectations. I can’t imagine the gratitude that her family feels, and the hope of bringing her home… or just knowing where she is. I’m sure you have a permanent place in their hearts and in their prayers. God bless you guys.
I came across your channel today and I find myself grateful for the group that you are. Your service is bringing many answers and support to families. You display that there is still hope in humanity. My husband had served in Law enforcement for 28 years, and you all are providing such a huge service in ways maybe they haven’t been able to do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! God bless!
Just a question, has anybody dug around the blueberry bush? Just curious, I am impressed with all you have done and praying for your safety and her remains to be found
I wondered the same thing when that was brought up. At least a sonar scan or something of the like, but lied knows how this was set in that boys mind to survive the trauma. I just hope for closure for them...
I hope that after the forensics are complete that you will follow-up with a final video!!! Thanks for what you have done for Susan's family and friends!!!
Nicholle cover When the DNA results come back I reckon he'd definitely most likely do a follow up video. Only thing that I can think off that he might not do a follow up if its comes back 100% it is Susan's remains because it will be classed criminal investigation then I'm not sure what the law is over there but here you interfere with a criminal case can't talk to people or show stuff on video while it's an active criminal case or if the case is in the courts
@@jonathanguinan8248 I am not sure what the LAW says about this! But, I can say that the law was and hasn't been willing or able to search this mine!!! The one thing that Heavy D and his crew have on their side is... they have video's of their entire search effort!!! That being said, the #1 SUSPECT IS DEAD along with HIS ENTIRE SUPPORT SYSTEM!!! So, EVEN if the REMAINS turn out to be Susan's, her PIECE OF SH*T HUSBAND CAN'T and WON'T BE PROSECUTED!!! The FACT that HEAVY D and his CREW are WILLING to put THEIR OWN BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS, OH YEAH, THEIR OWN MONEY, into bringing SUSAN HOME is PURELY HEROIC and SELFLESS!!!
Watching you guys do what you do is helping to renew my faith in humanity. What most people don't realize about domestic violence is that it starts out slowly and little by little becomes your normal. I was very young when I got married and it took me years to get out because I had been conditioned! There needs to be more awareness everywhere.
It’s crazy how this kinda came full circle for me. I followed this story, watched countless attempts and “documentaries “ and always wanted someone to try just a little harder. Here it is now and my favorite channel is the ones to do it. Wish nothing but the best for you and the crew.
Whether you found Susan or not, letting her dad and her aunt go down into the mine brought some kind of closeness to Susan. That in itself is rewarding. Loved the kudos to the team at the end, clearly from the heart. Blessings~
The thing that constantly stands out to me in these is what a big heart Dave has. Just a solid human. I wish I knew him personally. I’d work for him in a heartbeat.
This was such an emotional roller coaster from beginning to the end. I cried like a baby when Susan’s dad went down the shaft, wondering how he felt. “Daddy’s coming for you my sweet girl” his heart must ache. Words can’t describe how great full he must feel to you all. Thank you so very much as well to your team and to all of the companies that supported this journey. God Bless, until the next time. I’m from 🇨🇦 So all I can do to contribute is hit the thumbs up & comment.
My stepsister and stepmom have been missing since the year 2000. The fbi looked into this 3 times with a primary suspect. Having them not found after all this time is still a daily thought. After it became a cold case we still no nothing more than before. If you would like to read about it, they were living in chesterfield, nh and their first names were Tina & Bethany.
If they might be in a body of water, you can contact Adventures with Purpose, who have recovered over a dozen people that had accidents where they ended up in a lake or pond, or committed suicide. It might be worth it to contact them, depending on the circumstances of their disappearance
So sorry to see this. My nephews went missing in 2019 and I actually appealed to a few mediums on here.... One was so good that we found them with their help. Long story but their drug addict mother kidnapped them during a visit as my brother had custody. A lot of ppl don't believe in this but its worth a try, I was never charged anything by both of them. If u want their details let me know.
So many mixed emotions watching this.. I had no idea people were searching for her again. So much respect for you all! I hope the family can finally get some answers. ❤️
First òf all, I've got to send all of you gentlemen my biggest thanks for stepping up, down and out in order to hopefully find some clues/evidence that may provide some answers to Susan's family and friends. Thanks, as well, to all of you who contributed to this search by providing needed equipment, technology, and necessary supplies. Thanks to all of you who have watched all of this unfold, who are steadfast in sending prayers daily and giving your support to the family for years. Bless every single one of you!! Please stay happy, healthy and honed-in on your world and your part in it! Peace to all...💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
During his brief interview with a child specialist, Susan’s little 6 son described her being left with pretty “red flowers and crystals”. Of course he couldn’t fathom anything to the extent of being that evil happening to her. May they all Rest In Peace and may God comfort her family and friends left behind, that continue to mourn their terrible loss.
To everyone especially the 4 people who liked the 1st comment ignore or better yet mass report him, that is a bot trying to scam people and it's been spamming the same stuff throughout other comment sections in this and other videos. Take care and have a good day
It's funny because I heard about this case years ago listening to the podcast Sword & Scale and aside from what he did, and Susan's own notes on what was going on, along with the father in law creepo, the other thing that stuck out in my head was the SUPER frustrating 911 call the social worker made saying the father was supposed to be supervised & he scooted the kids in and shut the door in her face & locked her out..... And she tells them she can smell GAS, bad enough that it compelled her to move her car, as she told them this, they literally said they'd send someone by eventually, ya know, after the life threatening emergencies first. And she actually yelled at them saying it IS a life threatening situation, in her opinion, and she still got the Ole ya ya... I heard that call again the other day when listening to a video called Worst 911 Dispatchers or something like that and it STILL frustrated the hell out of me. They hung up with her and you next hear the same supervisor calling back, saying the house went up in flames... And they treated her information like it was the first time they heard it 😳 ughhh, so to see this video pop up today.... This was an extremely heart breaking podcast to listen to, but as with all crime stories, Susan's story needs to be heard, be known. So I'm so glad these guys are doing what they're doing.
@@somedrunkguy8786 I do this allllll the time and it changed nothing. But say a wrong word and YT AI deletes your comments faster than it took you to type it. It's so backwards & sickening
Do not respond to the first sub-comment it is very clear it's a bot trying to scam you, ignore his offers and report him and hopefully TH-cam responds to this.
HeavyD dude you guys are amazing. The fact that you guys did this for a whole week searching working your asses off and not giving up is awesome. We love and will always support you❤️
I am beyond words. This case is the one case I can't even talk about. I'm in WA and watched the breaking live TV when he blew up the house. I don't think I've ever been the same. Thank you, a million times over, thank you, thank you, thank you. Susan still matters. Those boys still matter. Thank you.
I remember questioning my faith for the first time the day those boys were murdered by their "dad". I was reading accounts of children being visited by angels - and I have confidence that their spirits were carried to heaven before the carnage began. Our Heavenly Parents love their little ones and they do not suffer needlessly 🤍
I was 17 lived about 15 minutes from the house that blew up. Heard the explosion. Was horrified. Still am. So grateful finding Susan is getting more attention.
And the social worker just sobbing and sobbing. I don’t remember her name only that she was black and cared about those little boys. She knew it was bad, she had warned her supervisors. I’ve always wondered if she’s ok. Wonder if anyone else remembers her. Broke my heart to see her on tv
This affected me a lot more than I expected cause my coworker was just murdered by her ex-abusive husband. She'd been planning and agonizing for months how to get away from that monster. I hope you found Susan for her family.
The same thing happened to my family friend. She finally told him she was leaving him and he shot and killed her in a public park then turned it on himself. Even if they don’t find Susan it’s still so important that we don’t forget about these people so we can help prevent other people going through the same thing.
I have watched the search for Susan. She married into a horrible family! Thank you so much to everyone who searched for her! Her poor parents having to go through such horror and losses makes my heart ache. God bless you all for never giving up!
This must have been so physically and mentally difficult, it's amazing what you guys accomplished! Thank you for seeking closure for her family and all those that loved her!
I never felt more sorry for someone than I do for Susan's father after watching this. My heart goes out to him. I am so proud of the efforts you have made to try and find Susan. Thank you!
His little voice saying that lives in my head, those poor babies. Rip Susan , I hope she will be laid to rest with her boys finally. What a coward that man and his father were (are).
Remarkable courage, strength, compassion and dedication. I'm glad that this was all recorded to help show to what lengths people went to. People really DO CARE! Thank you
This a heart-breaking task, and I'm glad you're treating it as respectfully as you are. Whatever the results, I'm certain the family is grateful for your efforts.
Heavy D I have literally been checking daily for updates, checking news websites too. I am suffering a family tragedy and this compelling story has me on the edge of my seat. You and the crew are nothing short of inspiring. I hope you found her to give her family closure.
Your content in this search earned the likes but taking the moment to reach out to any abuse survivors earned the subscription. I see so much online that absolutely destroys my faith in humanity, but all it takes is one video/series like this to completely restore it. All of you are Legends
Thank you all for what you do! This hits home. I was in an abuse marriage. It's hard to leave them cause you are so scared. I have been free for 5 years now. I hope Susan is found and bought home. It's heartbreaking. Praying for her family.
I'm a survivor of abuse. It got bad. I fled for my life with only 1 paycheck to my name, my car and that's it. I moved out of state...it was HARD. I stayed in crappy, scary motels near an airport. I worked at gas station/convenience stores. I tried living with roommates...that sucked. I eventually saved money, got a better hotel/extended stay room. I got a better job and got an apartment. Now, I'm a licensed massage therapist, certified Neuromuscular therapist and kick ass mom. I'm still doing it alone, with some occasional help from my parents.. It IS doable...it's just hard. You will eat poorly, live in sketchy areas, BUT... you will SURVIVE. Hope y'all find/found her.
If anything its not nothing, You definitely found someone and thats awesome for you and your guys to put ya'll time and effort into helping the family out with your resources. Sub for life.
You are an awesome person to work with, being able to compliment and praise your workers is the best way to get someone to want to do more and better work. I wish others did more of that for the people who work for them. It’s a great feeling to feel appreciated
There's an old saying that seems to be getting lost these days. It goes like this, "If you're not serving a customer, serve someone who is". Your gang knows this rule. They seem to really support you and the core group doing the dirty work. They did a great job! They got your back! Give them all a raise!
This one gave me chills. You and your team are a gift from God. Y’all didn’t have to do this but you acted like it was your job and worked your asses off. I think I can speak for everyone and say we thank you for this.
My heart just aches for her parents. They have lost literally everything due to one man’s sickness. I wished I could magically give them closure for their hearts and souls. I hope we can bring Susan home before they go home.
The amount of dedication you guys have into a project or helping someone in need is always amazing to watch! It keeps me watching every time, and at this point it seems like you don’t care much about the cameras, this is an everyday thing to y’all.
Poor Susan and the boys …. They deserved so much more. My heart goes out to Susans family. Well done guys for trying your best to bring Susan home you are hero’s.
@@rauljrlara9994 All I know is that after she went missing, her husband (and possibly murderer) killed their kids and then themself. Bare bones, but you know…
@@rauljrlara9994 there is a podcast called “cold” that goes over all the details. Essentially her husband, Josh, was a narcissistic murdering psychopath. His father, Steve, was sick in the head and obsessed with his daughter in law, Susan . It’s theorized that josh poisoned her, drove her out to the west desert and dumped her down a mine shaft. Josh’s dad, Steve, was a sicko who kept Susan’s used tampons after he’d fish them out of the garbage and went to prison for child porn and voyeurism. He died in prison, Josh’s brother, Michael committed suicide by jumping off a multistory parking garage. It’s believed they were all involved. Josh Powell during a supervised visit with his 2 sons 10 years ago, took them inside his house and wouldn’t let the social worker in. She could smell gas and called the fire dept. before they could arrive Josh hit his 2 sons in the head with an axe and blew up their house killing all of them.
You know what, he lost his baby. He lost his grand babies. You gave this man hope again. The smile on Susan’s fathers face was so beautiful and sweet. It was great to see how lovely he was with how everyone was in helping him try to find her and he was so speechless.
What a blessing to have groups such as yours, AWP and Nug doing the heavy intensive search law enforcement can’t do for many reasons. You put yourselves,your equipment and your time on the line. Keeping all of you in my prayers and thoughts.
Even if she isn't found,I'm sure her parents have and will have soo much respect and appreciation for Dave and his crew for their dedication 👏 🙌 ❤ Good work guys
I'm not sure if you are using a new film crew or you are flexing the ones you have, but, in this series, your videography and editing is absolutely on point. It is top notch high value production that will keep people coming back for more! I also applaud you and your crew for what you are doing, the effort and dedication is commendable. Keep it up Mr. Sparks
Its probably because its not the video to do it in but i cant stand all the constant spongebob and other meme jump cuts his previous video guy does. It really takes away from the videos so its nice not being hit by them every few minutes. Hopefully they stick to this format.
The videography was Phenomenal!!! The editing Fantastic. Who ever thought that I would enjoy watching people dig a hole so much!!! Seriously, I respect your efforts,-- and have a healthy crush on your entire Crew. Your comraderie, strength, and organization were phenomenal. Susan’s family were true quality people. Well Done ALL!!!
You’re the man heavy D. Spending your own money and not thinking twice about it. You’re a special dude and blessed by god my man. Keep it up brother. Always a loyal fan.
I want to send love, compassion, and prayers to Susan's loved ones. I can't even imagine your pain and despair! God bless these amazing people who are trying to bring Susan home! ❤️💔
My prayers 🙏 are for these parents that they find their daughter so they can have some closure. And to all the men on this job helping trying to find Susan you all stay safe.🇨🇦
My heart aches for her dad. What an incredible job you guys did. And what an amazing crew you have! Can not wait for the test results on your evidence!!!
If you ever get into dredging we could use you to help bring Alexis Gabe home in the Bay Area. You did something amazing for Susan. Great job everyone.
I just made a comment... Who needs Netflix anymore? And here you are talking about how this could be a Netflix series. So good, these guys are nothing but inspiration! 👍
My name is Patrick Alan Corbett...I am Susan's 49 Ur old son...from BRISTOL ENGLAND..U.K...You guys are something else...it takes A LOT to impress a man like me ...TOTAL RESPECT IN EVERY WAY TO HEAVY D N FRIENDS N FAMILY....MUCH LOVE FROM THE U.K....PATRICK....
Huge respect to you guys for doing this. All the man hours, the logistics, the money, super hard work in very tough conditions that your team put in so this family can get some closure. And on top of that the production quality of this series is top notch, way beyond anything aired on television. Great job and once again mad respect to you and your guys!
The Aunt needs to be a private detective. The knowledge and thought that went into examining the material found was stellar. Much more than I think any other layman could do.
Thank you for looking & filming the hunt for Susan! I pray it is Susan! I so want her family to be able to put her to rest so they can rest. Thank you again.
As an engineer named Hunter, watching Hunter work is fascinating to me. Not to take away from the entire team, it's wonderful to see that humanity still exists, and awesome to see a great group work together to accomplish great things.

I know that some of you may have watched Alan's final video of this search where he mentioned that we didn't find anything but he posted that video before we were able to meet with Susan's family who confirmed that some of the evidence that we found could very likely belong to Susan. We will not know until DNA testing has been completed but Susan's own father says that he is "confident" that we found some of her remains. Alan has become aware of this information and will be adjusting his video to reflect this new information that we received. Here is a news article speaking with Susan's father about our discoveries: kutv.com/news/local/susan-powells-father-confident-some-of-susans-remains-have-been-discovered
Backing audio is fantastic!
thanks heavy d and crew yall are some solid cowboys
You are the best
Great job guys been watching the news stories and everything, unbelievable the lengths you all went to get this done super props and kudos!
been reporting your spammer all of them lol
This is unbelievable, man. Pretty crazy what you're doing as a group of private citizens. I wish you the best. This series has been phenomenal.
I agree 1000%
Hey! Millennial Farmer watches too! Good people attract good people.
100% agree. Heavy D is living proof of the old adage: "From whom much is given, much is also required." And by golly, Dave delivers time and time again.
“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

This series has me more intrigued than any truck giveaway or anything else that y'all have done. I'm a motor head but this is next level humankind right here. You guys are a special breed!
Facts
Feeling the same kinda way brother
may god bless these men and their family's for many many more years so they can continue to make the world a better place
@@christoner2666 What are you on about
I agree 💯 with everything u said
If that were my daughter that could be "buried" down that hole - I'd want someone to look for her with the same dedication and commitment that this team of men showed here in this video! This truly brings me confidence in the human family once again! Nice work gentleman!
If that was my daughter potentially buried down there, I would be doing the digging myself.
@@stevenemes3937 And her father, Chuck - was there So yes, I agree - I would be digging too, but having help with an undertaking as daunting as this, you would welcome the help!
@@BKRev couldn't agree more, but why didn't he look or make an effort to dig himself, or at least have someone look back then.
@@stevenemes3937 When you trust those that tell you that they are going to "...make every effort", wrapped up in the grief of your missing child - you sit back and hope that those people will keep that word, I would assume.
Why this making me cry
I love how you gave every single person on your team a shout-out and gave them the credit they deserve. This is an important part of good leadership and far too many leaders do not do this. I'm convinced everyone appreciated showing you see them and the work they do.
This means so much to the people in utah. I grew up right here next to all of this. We went to the same stores. The same gas stations. The hills behind our homes they searched. Thank you
We lived close by, too. When the news reported her missing and Josh's story, my kids and I knew it was total b.s. That was the worst snowstorm of the year! It was so bad. It was a whiteout and shut down the freeway for awhile. He went out camping with little kids in the remote desert in the whiteout? Not!
same.
😟😟🥺🥺😥😥Not only for Utah people ,😢😢😢💝💝
I'm in Boston and I followed this story to the heartbreaking end. I imagine it had to hit pretty hard for you folks closer to home. Such a tragedy. These guys are outstanding. That's some seriously treacherous work. It was particularly scary they were at the bottom when they were actually on a birds nest. It was heartwarming to listen to HeavyD express his gratitude for all the support he's getting from vendors and everyone watching. People care and are hoping for some closure for Susan's family.
I'm so sorry...for all of U 2 experience this tragedy, & to SUSAN & her FAMILY. BLESS ALL of the STAFF/ Stay SAFE!
I just feel the need to express my feelings on this situation; when a group of guys that have a TH-cam channel that have the resources, mindset, and physical capabilities to do the research on the case and pull together a plan that even professional recovering agencies didn't want to risk, makes them the true definition of MEN!! You guys have just planted a solid spot in my heart for taking this all the way and showing others what humanity is about. Hopefully that made sense. Love you guys for choosing to do this and praying the items are the closure the family deserves. Badass!!
It definitely made sense. And you couldn’t be more correct.
Absolutely!! 💯
To all of you that took part in this endeavor-EXTRAORDINARY JOB AND VIDEO!!! Though the story is tragic you presented it beautifully
This means cops doing a bad job…I already seen/heard TH-cam divers find at least 16 remains under water…now there’s TH-camr diggers
Agree 100%. They risked their own lives just to help bring closure to that lead and potentially that case. I wish I could shake their hands. What a great group of people.
No father or mother should spend their twilight years looking, wondering, where their child’s remains are. I hope it is her, to give these parents peace. Good job, guys. 💜👍🏽
Best comment on TH-cam ever!
Thank you Pommie B
WE ARE IN AGREEMENT BROTHER...
Agreed 🤝 💯 💚
I pray they get answers before something happens to either one. That is not always the case. 😔
Yes I’m still praying for a find for Susan so she can Rest In Peace!!
For anyone wondering, they were not her remains, seemingly not even human, thankfully. RiP Susan you and your boys deserved so much better. (quick google search brought this up )
"SEATTLE - Bones found in a Utah mine earlier this month do not belong to Susan Powell, Powell's father Chuck Cox revealed Thursday.
“The DNA says they’re not human,” Cox said Thursday morning from his home in Puyallup.
Cox said DNA from a pair of pants found in the area belonged to a male. Some other clothing items found in the area have yet to be tested, according to Cox." -
I teared up when I saw the father's patch that said, "I'd rather be flying." It was such a simple statement. The man went into the depths of the earth, far deeper than most othe people would go, the polar opposite than flying, just for the chance that he could bring his daughter home. I will never forget that.
Same!!! It really touched my heart and I just couldn’t help but feel for the man and the love he has for his daughter. He is so determined to bring her home. Made me cry 😢
That’s so heartbreaking seeing the father sitting there waiting for them to bring up pieces of his daughter. Also very heartwarming at the same time that these men are doing all of this work for that family. That’s a ton of work and in crazy conditions. Thank you guys for all this hard work and a great video.
Yes it had me all choked up too. I have two boys and one daughter. She’s the baby. I couldn’t imagine my husband standing around waiting for any sign of his daughter down there. God be with them.
God bless this precious family.
Was her remains found there ? And what clues did they have to go down there ?
@@Cantworship2gods they knew to look there because Josh had said he went camping close to there. And one of the men had been to that spot a few months before Josh went camping and he wanted to go down there but didn’t have the right equipment so he came back a month after the date Josh went “camping”. When he went the first time he remembered a big wooden thing built over the hole. When he went back it had been knocked into the hole and burned. So that’s why they think Josh put her down there and then burned and knocked down the wooden structure on top of her.
I have never encountered another human that made me truly want to be a better man than Dave Sparks has. I am 54 years old and i am overjoyed to find a younger human that is so inspiring.
Truly inspiring
Amen brother
honestly admiring.. what a beautiful comment. you’re a god damn good man
I agree. I think Dave Sparks is an incredible human💞🙏🏼
People who go missing like Susan need people like you guys,you all have hearts of gold ,I am 66 and love your videos.Maggie from Western Australia
Great to see Chuck again. I worked with him in Renton, WA. Chuck: Susan, the boys, you and your wife have always been in my thoughts. I truly hope you find Susan and bring her home:
Working in Tukwila WA right now mu self
When Susan’s father went down that mine, I almost cried. Even IF it wasn’t her reminds found. He is trying to find her and I am sure feels as if the world and they care for her to be found. What a wonderful amazing thing to do.
go read the story about this case. her husband and his brother are total pieces of filth. unbelievable how people like that exist and function normally
@@johnhunt5090 fake account bro.
Susan's family has suffered such a tremendous loss. I hope Susan's remains are found.
Supervised visits with his kids is something I will always remember! I pray they change the way SUPERVISED VISITS will be. Cox boys knew where Susan was left where their daddy put her!
Brother, I just found your channel because of the Lake Mead extraction. I have to say: Seeing men like you give me hope for humanity. You guys do amazing work, and you seem to have genuine hearts. Very rare in today's age.
Cheers, men! Keep doing the good work!
Subbed!
That’s how I found them too!!!!
That’s how I found you wonderful men as well.
Me Too. It was great to see that man, Craig his houseboat rescued. Mead sure is going down awful fast as if its being drained. Very suspicious, as I'm sure many people are. 🤔 But this is One damn exciting channel and glad I founded it, Heavy D Sparks and Crew. 👏🏾 Was On the edge of my seat this whole show.
Real good deeds don’t need to be recorded
You guys never saw them on discovery lol they had a TV show for years
Having been in an abusive marriage with a narcissist, I really appreciated you shedding light on this. I have no doubt in my mind I would have ended up like Susan had I not made the decision to leave when I did. This happens way too much. I hope this encourages others in this situation to do what's best for them, especially if there are children involved. My heart breaks for those two boys.
so glad you got out safely! best wishes to you!!
@@Brian-mp2mv OMG so glad you are ok now! best of luck in your future, the good thing is now you can control what you will and will not accept in your life.
It’s scary to think about, n reading you saying that you think you could or would have ended up like Susan is terrifying, even though I don’t know you, I’m happy that you found a way out safely. My mother’s best friend was in an abusive relationship for years with the father of her first son when I was younger and seeing her come over in tears some nights with bruises and black eyes or marks on her always altogether broke my heart, angered me, and scared me. Thankfully, she too left that asshole and has since married a wonderful man that changed her life for the better and gave her a second beautiful little boy. It hurts me to know people are going through so much pain, abuse and fear like this, but it’s always nice to see or hear of when anyone in a situation like that safely finds a way out and makes a better life for themselves and their loved ones.
More power to you💪 Be blessed!
@@barberfabian Thank God🙏 My mom stayed a long time, nearly my whole childhood, with my abusive stepdad. Thanks to her jerk family, she had no help, and we were military, so we were always new, had no support.... Well, we aren't dead. And she finally got away. Respect to anyone who helped, even on the slightest level. Much appreciated🤗💗
When Susan’s father had his back to the camera, I just felt the need to lay a comforting hand on that man’s shoulder. You could feel the same hope he has to put an end to the unknown. God bless.
I couldn't agree more. I felt a compelling feeling like I wanted to give that man a hug, and I soon felt myself welling up. I paused the video, looked over at my 4yo and gave him a giant hug and kiss, told him I love him and will always love him.
Make sure to tell those around you how much they mean to you.
Always make sure your friends and family are doing good, taken care of, and have support. If we all did that the world would be a better place.
Thanks for your comment brother. 👍
I'm gonna be honest, during the interview with her dad and he said "More parts, more pieces", I kind of lost it. This is a good thing you guys did. It's real hard sometimes to see the good left in the world but you guys embody that. Thank you.
Same. Poor guy, searching for literal pieces of his daughter. I can’t imagine what that would be like.
the production value of this series' too good, they could've sped the whole process up instead of milking every single triviality and constantly driving the notion that they're doing it to 'help' people. filming takes time, sorting out through the hours of footage takes time and the interviews take time blah blah. you get the point.
too much talk, too little action. the whole thing felt very pretentious, they spent too much on production costs and probably cut a bunch of corners to maximize their own profits.
They aren't in it to help people, to them that is a BONUS, the whole point is to sucker you into watching a long video series filled with a ton of 'subtle' product placements and ads which they profit off of. Not to mention the free positive PR. They'll bounce once this trend dies down and he'll use his reputation to fatten his wallet even more.
I'm not even asking for non-profit, some profit has to be made to maintain the operation but holy cow, the funds allocated to the specialized equipment/staff used to film and produce this series is EXCESSIVE and UNNECESSARY.
@@BxBxProductions Well no one else figured out where to look -- you could have had nothing to watch about it instead...
This video brought tears to my eyes. I watched a special on the Susan Powell case earlier this year and was so disturbed by it that I cried myself to sleep that night. I haven't forgotten about it since. You guys are nothing short of heroes. God bless you all.
I can see no one is talking about the tear that came out of his eyes when he found the first bone. That shows he is a man that is trying his hardest to find the missing person for that family. God bless you and your Crew.
I think that was sweat lol
Well maybe because somebody could feel the same way but not shed a tear, everyone is different and such in how they express feelings
@@DoktrDub if you are looking for a missing person and you do not shed a tear when you find bones and such. then you are not human at all. say what you want all men cry.
@@bradmarcum3160 Of course all men can cry it’s ridiculous to assume that’s not a thing, I’m just making a point, as well as the silly comment that you ain’t human if you don’t shed a tear when you find a bone, yeah you may shed a tear but is it synonymous with being inhuman if you don’t? No, I’m just stating facts here.
@@DoktrDub yep you trolling i thought so.. now i know.. good day
Even if it's not Susan, the possibility you've found someone else's missing loved one is quite high. I hope it's her, we all do, but either way you guys have done a very valiant thing.
Yup. a few random bits of bone at the bottom of a mine shaft is one thing - it's awfully hard to tell the difference between a human rib or vertebrae and the same bones from a dog, or a deer. But find those same bits of bone tangled up in fragments of clothing changes the whole picture... context is everything.
@@MrJest2 I work with historic mines doing a variety of work, including stuff like this, I can tell you bones and clothing are fairly common at the bottom of shafts, very rarely are they what you think, its usually animal bones and trash and the reasons for them being there are 99% of the time not malicious in any way. But I know this area in Utah has thousands and thousands of old shafts and exposed working, and you do occasionally (very rarely) find bodies in them.
@@MrJest2 in such a dry climate there should be significantly more bones then what they found. Most likely loose animal bones that found their way down there over the years
@@sinclaircupcake4954 He said that his boots were wet in the mineshaft - groundlevel might be dry, but inside of the mine is very wet.
@@ariadne0w1 they were spraying the walls down with water to keep the dust under control. You could tell when they were digging how dry it was down there. Dust for days and when they pulled that massive board out of the dirt it was super dry not even slightly wet. Even if there was water down there, that is still too little time for bones to decompose like that. For there to be clearly recognizable vertebrae and rib bones, but the pelvis and femers to be completed decomposed in the same amount of time just doesn’t make any sense
There's an abandoned mine in AZ that has bones and a pile of children's shoes.Eazy to walk into and not that far back. Definitely eery. I wish someone would investigate it ! If I had a child missing I would want it investigated ! If I were law enforcement I'd want to be the hero who investigated it !So much appreciation and respect you guys aren't just flying over or taking a ride to make a video. Your out there digging useing equipment sweat tears and in dangerous places giving it all you got !!!
I seen that 😥
Have you called the police? Surely so🤔
Lots of things go down in the deserts in Cali/arizona with child trafficking. The rabbit hole goes down far and it's scary.
Around Miller and I 10 to the northwest around the powelines there are many mines. Just walking around you come across 2 or 3 that are just cut into the ground. If your not aware where they are and walking around look at the ground. I threw a rock in one and couldn't hear it land or hit the bottom at all. So many places out here.
If you saw that in person and didn't call the police, that's messed up
Guys like this restore my faith in men, I hope they are each treasured. Thank you for your efforts and dedication. Bless you all.
Seeing her father drop down that mine shaft with you guys was seriously some movie quality stuff. Amazing
It's definitely surreal. I got goosebumps thinking of the possibility that he was so close to Susan. I really hope they've found her.
Thank you for all your team's efforts. I saw it on the news about Susan being missing and for some reason, I thought "man that could've been me." A year earlier, I recognized my life was turning into a Lifetime movie. I was living in Boise when I was married to my 2 boys' dad, approximately 400 miles away from home and my family. The years of abuse were beginning to take its toll and I knew it was just matter of time before one of us were dead. Then one day he was showing off for someone and he told me "why don't you do us all a favor and go home to daddy." He didn't expect me to leave. Only I did, with permission even. My eyes were open that day. So, I could see the opportunity the good Lord was providing and I left. Within a month, he was headed to prison for 14 years (unrelated to me). Allowing me to raise my boys without his influence.
I'm living in twin falls surrounded by my family and yet found myself a year ago in the same situation. I'm so glad you got out.
Praise God !
Dave,
Your giving credit to all your team members and collaborators is truly an example of what a great guy you are. The dedication all these guys showed is commendable. I truly hope your mission comes to fruition. Again, God bless you all.
You're only as good as the company you keep, and D is aware if that. Truly blessed
@@TwinTurbo50cal Well said.
💯
I remember watching this story being so horrified, and my heart breaking for her parents. Then thinking there has to be a way to go down those mine shafts, if not people maybe with a drone, or rover, something, somehow to find her, and wishing there were the resources available to do so. You guys are so awesome for feeling the same and being in a position to figure out those resources and try.
There is absolutely money and resources available to find most missing people (especially MMIW’s). Unfortunately our government spends it all on the military and American Imperialism instead.
@emmygoldman1065 lol, imagine thinking the govt cares about you whatsoever. You're nothing more than tax cattle that's worthless if you're not paying.
I have a heavy feeling that most of her remains are in the last bird's nest and some pieces have fallen thru as her body decomposed. I really hope there is a firey hell for Josh Powell. I will always think of Susan and her babies.

The fun parts are fun, but realizing this father is hoping you’ll find his daughter is heartbreaking. “More stuff, more bones.” That hit hard.

Not only did you try to help a family find a loved one and had one hellva adventure that you guys will never forget! Thank for all your efforts. The world needs more people like you guys.
I was born and raised in salt lake city, at the time of her disappearance i was around 15 or 16. Currently living in washington state almost 28. I still hear stories about that family even all the way out here.. so to hear and watch you all go through this to find her is beyond the hero status. The news even covered a small portion of what yall are doing even out here!!! So everything is being noticed nationwide!!! Thank you all!! N i hope the family finally gets their closer thats been long needed and overdue.
Thanks To All You All are Awesome
I hope forensics show that it is Susan and the family get some kind of peace. Proud to support your channel and hope anyone watching male or female that is in an abusive relationship see this and takes the first steps for help. You are an inspiration to us all and show there is kindness in humanity amongst all of the atrocities that go on around the world. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧
I have enormous respect for you and your friends, and the extent that you’ve gone through to find Susan. The personal risk and expense is beyond anyone’s expectations. I can’t imagine the gratitude that her family feels, and the hope of bringing her home… or just knowing where she is. I’m sure you have a permanent place in their hearts and in their prayers. God bless you guys.
I came across your channel today and I find myself grateful for the group that you are. Your service is bringing many answers and support to families. You display that there is still hope in humanity. My husband had served in Law enforcement for 28 years, and you all are providing such a huge service in ways maybe they haven’t been able to do. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! God bless!
Just a question, has anybody dug around the blueberry bush? Just curious, I am impressed with all you have done and praying for your safety and her remains to be found
fucking single boost, this is a solid thought
I wondered the same thing when that was brought up. At least a sonar scan or something of the like, but lied knows how this was set in that boys mind to survive the trauma. I just hope for closure for them...
Hiding in plain sight, perfect deterrent because everyone is focused on the obvious.
@@e.l.9589 Fully agree with you.
That’s a good thought, worth a look
I hope that after the forensics are complete that you will follow-up with a final video!!!
Thanks for what you have done for Susan's family and friends!!!
Thanks

When the DNA results come back I reckon he'd definitely most likely do a follow up video.
Only thing that I can think off that he might not do a follow up if its comes back 100% it is Susan's remains because it will be classed criminal investigation then I'm not sure what the law is over there but here you interfere with a criminal case can't talk to people or show stuff on video while it's an active criminal case or if the case is in the courts
@@jonathanguinan8248 I am not sure what the LAW says about this! But, I can say that the law was and hasn't been willing or able to search this mine!!!
The one thing that Heavy D and his crew have on their side is... they have video's of their entire search effort!!!
That being said, the #1 SUSPECT IS DEAD along with HIS ENTIRE SUPPORT SYSTEM!!! So, EVEN if the REMAINS turn out to be Susan's, her PIECE OF SH*T HUSBAND CAN'T and WON'T BE PROSECUTED!!!
The FACT that HEAVY D and his CREW are WILLING to put THEIR OWN BLOOD, SWEAT and TEARS, OH YEAH, THEIR OWN MONEY, into bringing SUSAN HOME is PURELY HEROIC and SELFLESS!!!
Watching you guys do what you do is helping to renew my faith in humanity. What most people don't realize about domestic violence is that it starts out slowly and little by little becomes your normal. I was very young when I got married and it took me years to get out because I had been conditioned!
There needs to be more awareness everywhere.
It’s crazy how this kinda came full circle for me. I followed this story, watched countless attempts and “documentaries “ and always wanted someone to try just a little harder. Here it is now and my favorite channel is the ones to do it. Wish nothing but the best for you and the crew.
Whether you found Susan or not, letting her dad and her aunt go down into the mine brought some kind of closeness to Susan. That in itself is rewarding. Loved the kudos to the team at the end, clearly from the heart. Blessings~
Could you even imagine as a parent a sister or a brother or uncle a child been looking for their daughter . You guys are absolutely amazing.
The thing that constantly stands out to me in these is what a big heart Dave has. Just a solid human. I wish I knew him personally. I’d work for him in a heartbeat.
This was such an emotional roller coaster from beginning to the end. I cried like a baby when Susan’s dad went down the shaft, wondering how he felt. “Daddy’s coming for you my sweet girl” his heart must ache. Words can’t describe how great full he must feel to you all. Thank you so very much as well to your team and to all of the companies that supported this journey. God Bless, until the next time. I’m from 🇨🇦 So all I can do to contribute is hit the thumbs up & comment.
My stepsister and stepmom have been missing since the year 2000. The fbi looked into this 3 times with a primary suspect. Having them not found after all this time is still a daily thought. After it became a cold case we still no nothing more than before.
If you would like to read about it, they were living in chesterfield, nh and their first names were Tina & Bethany.
If they might be in a body of water, you can contact Adventures with Purpose, who have recovered over a dozen people that had accidents where they ended up in a lake or pond, or committed suicide. It might be worth it to contact them, depending on the circumstances of their disappearance
Just incase

I hope one day you may find answers. I’m so sorry it must be terrible not knowing.
@@linhint6434 literally the first reply to the original comment
So sorry to see this. My nephews went missing in 2019 and I actually appealed to a few mediums on here.... One was so good that we found them with their help. Long story but their drug addict mother kidnapped them during a visit as my brother had custody. A lot of ppl don't believe in this but its worth a try, I was never charged anything by both of them. If u want their details let me know.
So many mixed emotions watching this.. I had no idea people were searching for her again. So much respect for you all! I hope the family can finally get some answers. ❤️
Omg!?? Yes I understand....crazy.. Blessings 2 evey-1 involved 🙏. 👍😷🇨🇦
We never stopped and never will❤️
First òf all, I've got to send all of you gentlemen my biggest thanks for stepping up, down and out in order to hopefully find some clues/evidence that may provide some answers to Susan's family and friends. Thanks, as well, to all of you who contributed to this search by providing needed equipment, technology, and necessary supplies. Thanks to all of you who have watched all of this unfold, who are steadfast in sending prayers daily and giving your support to the family for years. Bless every single one of you!! Please stay happy, healthy and honed-in on your world and your part in it! Peace to all...💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙💜💙
During his brief interview with a child specialist, Susan’s little 6 son described her being left with pretty “red flowers and crystals”. Of course he couldn’t fathom anything to the extent of being that evil happening to her. May they all Rest In Peace and may God comfort her family and friends left behind, that continue to mourn their terrible loss.
That interview was so sad and then for him and his brother to be killed by their horrible father just broke my heart.
Should’ve said May they all Rest In Peace instead of josh
To everyone especially the 4 people who liked the 1st comment ignore or better yet mass report him, that is a bot trying to scam people and it's been spamming the same stuff throughout other comment sections in this and other videos. Take care and have a good day
It's funny because I heard about this case years ago listening to the podcast Sword & Scale and aside from what he did, and Susan's own notes on what was going on, along with the father in law creepo, the other thing that stuck out in my head was the SUPER frustrating 911 call the social worker made saying the father was supposed to be supervised & he scooted the kids in and shut the door in her face & locked her out..... And she tells them she can smell GAS, bad enough that it compelled her to move her car, as she told them this, they literally said they'd send someone by eventually, ya know, after the life threatening emergencies first. And she actually yelled at them saying it IS a life threatening situation, in her opinion, and she still got the Ole ya ya... I heard that call again the other day when listening to a video called Worst 911 Dispatchers or something like that and it STILL frustrated the hell out of me. They hung up with her and you next hear the same supervisor calling back, saying the house went up in flames... And they treated her information like it was the first time they heard it 😳 ughhh, so to see this video pop up today.... This was an extremely heart breaking podcast to listen to, but as with all crime stories, Susan's story needs to be heard, be known. So I'm so glad these guys are doing what they're doing.
@@somedrunkguy8786 I do this allllll the time and it changed nothing. But say a wrong word and YT AI deletes your comments faster than it took you to type it. It's so backwards & sickening
Much love and respect to everyone who helped bring peace to her family.
These were incredibly produced, like TV level stuff, totally amazing. Not to mention the miraculous work you did for the family.
TV needs to be available on all networks
This is what should be shown on TV. Not the bullshit that is on there
Just that the background music is LOUD, and I couldn’t really balance it out, made hearing the people difficult.
Do not respond to the first sub-comment it is very clear it's a bot trying to scam you, ignore his offers and report him and hopefully TH-cam responds to this.
The music is remarkable
Respect to you all. And as a survivor of domestic abuse total complete heartfelt respect to each and every one of you
HeavyD dude you guys are amazing. The fact that you guys did this for a whole week searching working your asses off and not giving up is awesome. We love and will always support you❤️
I am beyond words. This case is the one case I can't even talk about. I'm in WA and watched the breaking live TV when he blew up the house. I don't think I've ever been the same. Thank you, a million times over, thank you, thank you, thank you. Susan still matters. Those boys still matter. Thank you.
I remember questioning my faith for the first time the day those boys were murdered by their "dad". I was reading accounts of children being visited by angels - and I have confidence that their spirits were carried to heaven before the carnage began. Our Heavenly Parents love their little ones and they do not suffer needlessly 🤍
I was 17 lived about 15 minutes from the house that blew up. Heard the explosion. Was horrified. Still am. So grateful finding Susan is getting more attention.
And the social worker just sobbing and sobbing. I don’t remember her name only that she was black and cared about those little boys. She knew it was bad, she had warned her supervisors. I’ve always wondered if she’s ok. Wonder if anyone else remembers her. Broke my heart to see her on tv
@@dittohead7044 I remember her. Her voice on that 911 call. Like it was yesterday
This affected me a lot more than I expected cause my coworker was just murdered by her ex-abusive husband. She'd been planning and agonizing for months how to get away from that monster.
I hope you found Susan for her family.
The same thing happened to my family friend. She finally told him she was leaving him and he shot and killed her in a public park then turned it on himself. Even if they don’t find Susan it’s still so important that we don’t forget about these people so we can help prevent other people going through the same thing.
I have watched the search for Susan. She married into a horrible family! Thank you so much to everyone who searched for her! Her poor parents having to go through such horror and losses makes my heart ache. God bless you all for never giving up!
This must have been so physically and mentally difficult, it's amazing what you guys accomplished! Thank you for seeking closure for her family and all those that loved her!
I never felt more sorry for someone than I do for Susan's father after watching this. My heart goes out to him. I am so proud of the efforts you have made to try and find Susan. Thank you!
I teared up......I wouldn't know how to compose myself if I had to go in a mine and find my daughter
Susan’s son said she’s “where the crystals are”. I pray you found her.
That's the first thought I had too
And where the "raspberries- wait no, blueberries grow"
And there's a blueberry plant right near the mine...
This is so wonderful a great bunch of people working for truth
His little voice saying that lives in my head, those poor babies. Rip Susan , I hope she will be laid to rest with her boys finally. What a coward that man and his father were (are).
@ topeye It's been over a decade, I have doubt a plant would look the same as it did then or is still even there at all.
Remarkable courage, strength, compassion and dedication.
I'm glad that this was all recorded to help show to what lengths people went to. People really DO CARE!
Thank you
Add a pitch fork to your digging equipment
It’s the people in the guise of government that don’t and their elites 🇨🇦
Absolutely, these guy’s are true ANGELS!❤
This a heart-breaking task, and I'm glad you're treating it as respectfully as you are. Whatever the results, I'm certain the family is grateful for your efforts.

THANKS FOR WATCHING.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.
Heavy D I have literally been checking daily for updates, checking news websites too. I am suffering a family tragedy and this compelling story has me on the edge of my seat. You and the crew are nothing short of inspiring. I hope you found her to give her family closure.
Your content in this search earned the likes but taking the moment to reach out to any abuse survivors earned the subscription. I see so much online that absolutely destroys my faith in humanity, but all it takes is one video/series like this to completely restore it. All of you are Legends
Freaking Amazing. This is better than any Hollywood movie I’ve seen. Well done, Sparks. Much respect and admiration.
That is a scam!
Prayers that Susan’s family gets the answers they are looking for. God Bless you all for doing what you do!
Thank you all for what you do! This hits home. I was in an abuse marriage. It's hard to leave them cause you are so scared. I have been free for 5 years now. I hope Susan is found and bought home. It's heartbreaking. Praying for her family.
Glad you found the stength to get away from that, i can't imagine how hard that must have been. Best wishes for the rest of your life, keep going
@@iholesale Thank you. It means a lot! Best wishes to you as well!
My greatest respect to all the men involved in this. True heroes. Great music too! Thank you for sharing this xx thinking of Susan and her family x
I'm a survivor of abuse. It got bad. I fled for my life with only 1 paycheck to my name, my car and that's it. I moved out of state...it was HARD. I stayed in crappy, scary motels near an airport. I worked at gas station/convenience stores. I tried living with roommates...that sucked. I eventually saved money, got a better hotel/extended stay room. I got a better job and got an apartment. Now, I'm a licensed massage therapist, certified Neuromuscular therapist and kick ass mom. I'm still doing it alone, with some occasional help from my parents.. It IS doable...it's just hard. You will eat poorly, live in sketchy areas, BUT... you will SURVIVE. Hope y'all find/found her.
I did the same thing-the only fortunate circumstance is that we didn’t have kids.
If anything its not nothing, You definitely found someone and thats awesome for you and your guys to put ya'll time and effort into helping the family out with your resources. Sub for life.
the fact that you guys even attempted this tells me how sincere and motivated you are to helping people..we need more of this in the world!
You are an awesome person to work with, being able to compliment and praise your workers is the best way to get someone to want to do more and better work. I wish others did more of that for the people who work for them. It’s a great feeling to feel appreciated
There's an old saying that seems to be getting lost these days. It goes like this, "If you're not serving a customer, serve someone who is". Your gang knows this rule. They seem to really support you and the core group doing the dirty work. They did a great job! They got your back! Give them all a raise!
Your company has grown on me. Your affirmations, stoicism, that get it done mentality. Is humbling and so great.
So proud of you guys
This one gave me chills. You and your team are a gift from God. Y’all didn’t have to do this but you acted like it was your job and worked your asses off. I think I can speak for everyone and say we thank you for this.
My heart just aches for her parents. They have lost literally everything due to one man’s sickness. I wished I could magically give them closure for their hearts and souls. I hope we can bring Susan home before they go home.
The amount of dedication you guys have into a project or helping someone in need is always amazing to watch! It keeps me watching every time, and at this point it seems like you don’t care much about the cameras, this is an everyday thing to y’all.
Poor Susan and the boys …. They deserved so much more. My heart goes out to Susans family. Well done guys for trying your best to bring Susan home you are hero’s.
What happened to them . Does anyone have. A back story
@@rauljrlara9994 All I know is that after she went missing, her husband (and possibly murderer) killed their kids and then themself. Bare bones, but you know…
@@rauljrlara9994 there is a podcast called “cold” that goes over all the details. Essentially her husband, Josh, was a narcissistic murdering psychopath. His father, Steve, was sick in the head and obsessed with his daughter in law, Susan . It’s theorized that josh poisoned her, drove her out to the west desert and dumped her down a mine shaft. Josh’s dad, Steve, was a sicko who kept Susan’s used tampons after he’d fish them out of the garbage and went to prison for child porn and voyeurism. He died in prison, Josh’s brother, Michael committed suicide by jumping off a multistory parking garage. It’s believed they were all involved. Josh Powell during a supervised visit with his 2 sons 10 years ago, took them inside his house and wouldn’t let the social worker in. She could smell gas and called the fire dept. before they could arrive Josh hit his 2 sons in the head with an axe and blew up their house killing all of them.
@@Holgrinator damnnn!!!!! Thanks for the infooo
@@rauljrlara9994 An easy way to get the story would be to ..........watch the videos.
Can't wait to hear the DNA results. This series is incredible
We all want closure and peace!

@@Melchro682 what happens if I did 😳? I got a scammy feeling and then deleted the whole app!
You know what, he lost his baby. He lost his grand babies. You gave this man hope again. The smile on Susan’s fathers face was so beautiful and sweet. It was great to see how lovely he was with how everyone was in helping him try to find her and he was so speechless.
What a blessing to have groups such as yours, AWP and Nug doing the heavy intensive search law enforcement can’t do for many reasons. You put yourselves,your equipment and your time on the line. Keeping all of you in my prayers and thoughts.
Even if she isn't found,I'm sure her parents have and will have soo much respect and appreciation for Dave and his crew for their dedication 👏 🙌 ❤ Good work guys
Couldn't agree more.
I'm not sure if you are using a new film crew or you are flexing the ones you have, but, in this series, your videography and editing is absolutely on point. It is top notch high value production that will keep people coming back for more!
I also applaud you and your crew for what you are doing, the effort and dedication is commendable.
Keep it up Mr. Sparks
Its probably because its not the video to do it in but i cant stand all the constant spongebob and other meme jump cuts his previous video guy does. It really takes away from the videos so its nice not being hit by them every few minutes. Hopefully they stick to this format.
I was thinking the same thing!!! Remarkable work!!
The audio in this last video is horrendous... can't hear a freaking word over the music....
@@chrism1106 The music is a touch loud in this video. Editing is platinum!!!
The videography was Phenomenal!!! The editing Fantastic.
Who ever thought that I would enjoy watching people dig a hole so much!!!
Seriously, I respect your efforts,-- and have a healthy crush on your entire Crew.
Your comraderie, strength, and organization were phenomenal.
Susan’s family were true quality people.
Well Done ALL!!!
You’re the man heavy D. Spending your own money and not thinking twice about it. You’re a special dude and blessed by god my man. Keep it up brother. Always a loyal fan.
This guy has my upmost respect didn't know about the Susan Powell case till this series but amazing job
The Powell case (the entire family) is one of the most devastating, failures of the US justice system on so many levels. It's depressing AF.
listen to the podcast "Cold". best true crime podcast ive ever listened too and im a huge true crime junkie
I want to send love, compassion, and prayers to Susan's loved ones. I can't even imagine your pain and despair!
God bless these amazing people who are trying to bring Susan home! ❤️💔
My prayers 🙏 are for these parents that they find their daughter so they can have some closure. And to all the men on this job helping trying to find Susan you all stay safe.🇨🇦
My heart aches for her dad. What an incredible job you guys did. And what an amazing crew you have! Can not wait for the test results on your evidence!!!
If you ever get into dredging we could use you to help bring Alexis Gabe home in the Bay Area. You did something amazing for Susan. Great job everyone.

And on top of that the production quality of this series is top notch, way beyond anything aired on television. Great job and once again mad respect to you and your guys!

I give you guys a lot of respect. Thanks for helping family s out. True hearted Americans
As an engineer named Hunter, watching Hunter work is fascinating to me.
