🎖
My husband is from East Dublin . His late Dad was from Wrightsville .i shared this video to him . He might have known him
Jared, I'm a trucker and I can say if this doesn't pan out you could definitely become a trucker and back an 18 wheeler with a little training 👌
Jared, du bist der Kopf der Bande. Es ist wichtig, dass du durchhälst…..❤
So sad family has my prayers and condolences 🙏🏽❤️
Having listed to the conversations, it sounds like he wasn’t feeling good. I think he was a private guy and didn’t want to bother anyone with his arm and chest pain and was driving himself to the hospital. A heart attack definitely decreases appetite, no wonder he didn’t stay to eat. It explains why he didn’t turn into his usual way home.
I’m proud of what you all do stay safe out there
You have done so much for people who have lost loved ones ! Your compassion is truly inspiring! My prayers are with you always! Your past doesn’t matter to me! I don’t know if it’s true. But God is with you at this time. He has forgiven you if you’ve ask! Yes, I was raped by a classmate and no I’ll never forget,even at 76. But I was taught not to judge others!
your butt looks so great in your ariat jeans
so grateful for the work that you guys do, God bless you and keep you safe
Your videos and service you provide are absolutely amazing. Well done to all involved. Just one question out of interest, when you looking for a particular vehicle and dive down to find it not the verhicle you looking for, do you still take down plate numbers (if available) and provide that to police in case it's a vehicle they might be interested in – or do you only work with them on the vehicle you looking for?
WHy are you showing this video? It from 2022. Two years ago.
Hey just watched your video where you were speaking from your house on a Sunday. I am a 67 yr. old woman who has gotten hooked on your videos and the new industry that you have created and how perhaps law enforcement can see that yeah, people really can be found cause you and your team have proven it. This means towns will have to start budgeting for dive equipment and training as a supplement to their police depts. It's a wonderful thing. Don't concern yourself with the "haters" someday their cold hearts will melt or…they won't. I love your team, you all are very affable and friendly people. And you have an ease about you when you speak to the families that you can't bottle. Oh and I am Charlie's wife Lise as my phone has no wifi so I use his phone. So, onward & upward.
if only every single person was aware at how much they are loved by family and friends, and how much they would be missed if they simply disappeared, and how much trouble all those friends and family, and the authorities would go to to try as hard as they can within their capabilities to locate them and bring them home – perhaps they might not do it (accidents and criminal activity aside that is) but we must look out for those with mental health issues
So.. you didn't find him but decided to steal some limelight anyway, shameful!
Just started watching your videos. I’m at a binge watching. lol. Definitely bitter sweet. Love what you and the team do.. I can’t go across bridges now without wondering how many cars that are in them..
Good luck on finding him we appreciate your help finding missing people
Comen to NYC, Hudson River has many stories to resolve 🥹
What colour was his car
This is crazy! Only 30 minutes from my house!
Its cases like this where dementia may be present that should give us the courage to have the tough conversation about possibly taking away that driving privileges for the safety of the person worst case out an air tag in their vehicles
If his remains were found in 2022 when was this filmed ? What happened with Doug ?
My husband and I both agree that we have great admiration for the dedication all of you guys, and those affiliated with you have shown. It's good, honest heroism right where we all can see it, doing good for people and the communities. I stand in awe of the careful thinking and experience you guys employ on every case, and the sensitivity that you give those still grieving. It's wrenching to lose a loved one in an open-ended disappearance, but you give those who are suffering a chance to feel like they are really doing something constructive, right now, instead of months or even years later. That is a gift of immeasurable value to the families and the towns they live in. After your crew has searched all the waterways, it tightens their focus and those places can be eliminated. Even on the days when you don't find cars or bodies, you have found measures of relief for those suffering. They know were not to search. We appreciate all of your dedicated efforts and all your hard work to help those bereft, and we wanted to pass along our wishes for many more mysteries solved in the future, and great success in all of your Adventures With Purpose! Thanks to each and every person involved!!
Prayers ❤🙏
