    If Jarod didn’t ask one last time if they were 50/50 or unsure and if Nick didn’t speak up and say he was still unsure this case would remain unsolved forever. Love seeing Jarod and Nick backing each other up! Nick is such a great addition to AWP!

    As soon as I saw the shape of a truck on the sonar I got chills. The fact that Nick and Carson had different views and Jared asked whether they should take another look, shows how they all work together as a team.
    Going through all of that shallow water and then find the one hole where Donnie's truck rests is an amazing miracle. His family and friends now have some answers after 16 years.
    I can't wait to see part two.

    I don’t know why I keep watching these, I always cry during the beginning when they show the faces of the folks they’ve recovered.
    And for the people that talk bad about them, they probably don’t know what it’s like to have a son or daughter, parent, sibling, or friend missing for years without any answers or closure. To the 26 families who got the answers they longed for, some for decades, AWP is such an answer to prayer!

      That's weird because as soon as I saw the image on the sonar i knew it was the truck, i could see every part of it very clearly and distinctively. Even how it was placed and how sunken and where it was. And normally in the other videos/cases when they find vehicules on the sonar, i never see it! They are like "omg yeah that's definitely the car, here's the roof, tires" I can never see what they see and what they mean on the images.. Except this time, for me it was clear as day that this was a f-150 and everything, when the magnet wouldn't stick I was so mad and i was almost screaming at my screen when they were thinking about leaving thinking it was a rock! 😂😭 I was so relieved when they decided to dive to go look.

Each person was heard and given an opportunity to state their opinion. This is how you how you do it! Jared is a true leader. He is giving each member a chance to voice their opinions and then they discuss it. Great job Nick👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You are an asset to AWP. Carson did a heck of a job as well. Even though he may have thought the car was old, he also dropped that seed about the magnet not sticking recently which made Nick think. Again, great job AWP👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
