CASE DETAILS
Family reported that Donnie was depressed and possibly suicidal.
The evening before Donnie went missing, he went to a friend’s house to watch a NASCAR race before making his way to a party in the town of Waitsfield.
At around 2 a.m. on October 15, 2006, Messier was last seen driving away from the party in his distinctive red Ford F150, decorated with NASCAR numbers displayed in the rear window.
Police reports from the time indicated Messier wasn’t intoxicated.
“Some say he was in good spirits, some say he was a little bit down,â€
Det. Trooper Isaac Merriam said. “We do know there is nothing abnormal about the party based on witness statements. No arguments ensued that we were made aware of that night.â€

Gone but not forgotten: Donald Messier’s 2006 disappearance remains a mystery
By Lisa Scagliotti – Oct 24 2021
In this article, Lisa goes into greater detail about Donnie’s disappearance and AWP’s time in the area searching for Donnie.
Gone but not forgotten: Donald Messier’s 2006 disappearance remains a mystery
======
In the midst of a divorce, Messier was in treatment for depression, according to his family members. One scenario that investigators floated was that he might have decided to take his own life and perhaps chose a remote spot – even a body of water such as the Waterbury Reservoir
Our search did not uncover any evidence of Donnie or his vehicle in the Waterbury Reservoir.
To date, neither Donald nor his vehicle has been located.
Hug the ones you love for you never know when it might be the last time you see them.

Everytime I see your vids I am struck by the reverence your attitudes give to the whole process. Also the river shots in TN nearly gave me goosebumps with the videography and the music, it was like being in a cathedral! Thank you for all you do! Probably one of your oldest fans! 73 and counting!
Bummer .. hopefully Donnie'll be eventally found ..
I sew and quilt while binge watching and hopefully these cold cases are solved. You guys are a unique breed ! Thanks to All of the Team……Y’all are a Blessing.🕊
Have you considered looking at the boat ramp into lake Champlain in south Burlington it’s not far from the dennys he would go to and if for some reason he was suicidal that would be the closest entrance after a long morning breakfast
What is info on his cell phone? Did he have one and did it ping?
Could've went off the side of a mountain. That's always a possibility.
Thanks u guys r the best!
Having just binged on their entire channel, I can't help but wonder how many killers have somehow towed vehicles out to areas in water that are typically not searched. Or attached bodies to boats and sunk them. I know none of this applies here but I'm if you have the absolute best in their field typically passing over things like boats or things they can't confirm as vehicles, I bet there are some out there.
Lol…@7:39 your dog cleaning him/herself… Lol come on give him some privacy…lol
Through rain,sleet,heat or snow..ADVENTURES WITH PURPOSE to the rescue
I'm a new member, addicted to your channel..God bless yall

Does anyone know where he had lived when he was still with the wife? Was it in the same town? I wonder if he could have gone to the house
I just wanted to say i been watching ur guys show n i love what u guys do. It doesnt matter what in the water or the weather u guys still do ur job that wonderful
You guys need to come back to Vegas. People found four bodies..
Always praying for "closure" for the families: finding them,informants, more/other evidence.
The Wanooski? Is Lake Champlain that far from the realm of possibility?
They should have checked Blueberry Lake. So deep could have went there
Are there any small lakes on ponds in the wood in the higher hills around there?
NH, has 90+ cold cases if you could possibly help them families that would be amazing
Prayers that he will be found some day! I know exactly how they are feeling mom missing 23 yrs! Jared and Doug are my Hero's Praise God for your team! See you soon!
The image of what you're looking at seems smaller than others I've seen on your show. Is that because it's further down?
ðŸ™ðŸ™‡
It must be emotionally, mentally and physically exausting when you search and have hope, only to find nothing or a boat that looks like a vehicle. Finding THE vehicle gives adrenaline = energy. When that wears off it must be time for a long nap..
Have you tried Chittenden Reservoir & Lake Dunmore both near waitsfield. Could it be he went out of town?
He is not in the water, he could be in a ditch in the woods. A family member is involved with his disappearance, ask the wife
I think this guy in brown hoodie seems guilty about something,,,doesn’t look at you.
Them f150s have a lot of aluminum and fiberglass magnet want stick
Hi jared, i like your mission, how you help community, people that ask your help and the 911 with the cold case of missing persons, continue, you and your partner are great.
Love watching these. Especially the ones that are brought home to rest.
I want to know if you dive without a companion?
I would've went 8 diameter around the party because of foul play.
epic
Would you guys be able to add subtitles when you're diving? Of all yhr videos I've watched so far, this was the hardest dive to understand.
I honestly believe there's so many woods that if he had left a party and went driving he might have ended up running off the road and getting lost in the brush and overgrowth. Just an idea after seeing the highway routes you took. I don't think water I think accidentally crashed off a road some where and it grew over.
keep your Series on youtube no Netflix i cant afford alreday plenty my favorite channels gone
Did anyone ever search in waters nearer to were his ex wife was staying at the time
Jared, is there any way to hook up a metal detector to your radar system? Seems like it sure would help.
I live in southeastern Vermont. Love your guys work! Keep doing the great things you’re doing!
