CASE DETAILS
April 01, 2022, AWP began our search for 26-year-old Dedrick Smith who was last seen in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on October 3, 2006, and by late afternoon, the Adventures With Purpose team located Dedrick’s car in just 14′ of water.
The next morning, April 2nd, AWP working alongside local law enforcement, Dedrick’s car containing human remains, was recovered.
Dedrick was last seen at his girlfriend’s home when she went out in the middle of the night to get food, and when she returned he was gone.
He changed his shirt and left his girlfriend’s house on Booker Street, driving his bright blue/turquoise 1993 Pontiac Grand Am with the North Carolina license plate number NYB3645.
There were reported sightings of him in the local area after his disappearance, but none of these were confirmed.
Smith maintained daily contact with his loved ones prior to his disappearance, and he had promised his mother he’d visit her house on October 4, but none of his family and friends have heard from him since he went missing.
Dedrick suffered from Paranoid schizophrenia, which is characterized by predominantly positive symptoms of schizophrenia, including delusions and hallucinations. These debilitating symptoms blur the line between what is real and what isn’t, making it difficult for the person to lead a typical life.
We believe that Dedrick’s schizophrenia is what led him to accidentally drive his car into Winston Lake 16-years earlier.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dedrick’s family during this difficult time.
Hug the ones you love for you never know when it might be the last time you see them.

I wish they would come to Saginaw Michigan and search for the MANY missing ppl. Problem is they find them in cars I believe they only search for them in vehicles?

I absolutely love you guys I'm new to your channel! If I can make one suggestion is there any way you guys could put little arrows when you guys edit your videos when you're looking at the screen like when you say there it is there's the window could you write like window and then put an arrow sometimes I can't tell what you guys are looking at lol and I would love to follow along if not if it's too much to ask no worries
Would be great to have a side story about what happened to the other vehicles
God Bless each and everyone of you for all you do for these Family's

So they leave the other cars there? That’s crazy how many other ppl could be in those waters
May God continue to help you return all these love ones back home to their family .

I would have just turned 3 went he went missing and that makes me upset being that I'm 18, going to be 19 the same month and day he went missing.
I also lost my best friend 15 years ago. The hole in my heart is impossible to fill. My love goes out to his friends and family.
