- We found 57-year-old Antonio Amaro-Lopez in his car underwater, solving a 3-day-old missing person case in Portland, Oregon after you, the viewers reached out and put us in touch with Antonio's family to help bring him home after he lost control of his car on February 14th, careening off the I-205 Glenn Jackson Bridge into the Columbia River.
Antonio had been missing for 3-days before we arrived on Feb 17th to offer our services to the family and the Multnomah County Sheriffs Office River Patrol.

Doug and I met up at 8am, and up to the I-205 bridge shortly before 9am where we also met up with Scott.
After identifying an area of interest to search for Antonio and his missing car, the MCSO asked that we stay out of the area.
Waiting for them to pull back to search our area of interest, we slid into the area around 12:30pm and quickly identified a vehicle underwater, marking it with a grappling hook.
Notifying the Sheriff of the location of the vehicle, we were asked to remove the marker and move out of the area.
The MCSO Dive Team arrived on the scene a few hours later, and after unsuccessful attempts to locate the vehicle, asked if we could help with locating the vehicle a second time.
Within a few minutes, the vehicle was located and we placed the grappling hook back on the vehicle.
The MCSO Dive Team was then able to dive on the car underwater and confirm that there was a body inside.
Shortly after dark, Antonio Lopez was recovered and brought onboard the MCSO Dive Boat.
We are honored and humbled to have been there for the Lopez family, side by side on the water and witnessing their candlelight vigil onshore at the boat ramp upon our return at the end of the evening.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Lopez family.

hey bud, we appreciate all you do.
I was wanting to purchase a hat to help yall, will your website have some for sale anytime soon?
Knew that was a tarp by the weight, shape and how it floated up so easy.
Do you need more employees? Im really good at everything. Like, WAY BETTER than most people.
Wednesday the 26th we had a drowning in Neosho Mo at lime kiln . She was 12 yrs and her name was Kaylin Brown . A young man of 34yrs dove in to try to save and almost drowned himself . He is in critical condition . They are still searching . We could use your help . If you would contact our local people department .
Ship to the Netherlands?
@@sherrypatrick5642 so sorry to hear this. Super sad.
I'm a fire Captain in Michigan and I run these kind of operations in my area. If you guys ever show up in my neck of the woods, you'll have full cooperation of our dive team, and I will PERSONALLY put you guys in charge of the operation. If someone from the county or state police or something show up and try to pull rank, they'll have to deal with me, and nobody is stupid enough to piss off a Chief.
Thank you for all you do! I feel safe living in Michigan with you being a Fire Captain.
Way to go Chief!! My brother is a retired Fire Chief in Oregon. He feels the same way!
Thank you Chief!!!!! If only the rest of your colleagues could see that these people are actually here to help.
So refreshing to read this comment and show that the few bad apples we see on here don't compare to the first responders that welcome as much help to get the job done!
@@annawerner1 another fellow Michigander here (a troll) and was thinking the same thing! It’s good to know so many in charge are more willing to work with these gentleman These days!🤍
I’m a cop. Part of being a good cop is knowing when to ask for help. There is no shame in it. That’s how you become effective. The time that was wasted here is shameful. All over ego
Sorry to hear that. Ppl have lost faith in cops now days. Sad.
@@Momz3 not surprised, even from an ethical standpoint you can blatantly see in AWP's many videos how inept and corrupt some departments are
Uphold your oath to constitution .. but appreciate your honesty ..
Surprise surprise
We need good people to be good cops it's called public service for a reason... Don't sit on the sidelines and complain get involved this whole channel proves anyone can make a difference
"Go away, we want to find it."
Spends hours not finding it.
"Can you find it for us?"
Instantly finds it, AGAIN.
It's a shame that that is a very true statement. What a sad state of affairs indeed. Thank YOU AWP for having common sense and purpose. Much love.
I agree, gosh, it certainly doesn't make a person feel very confident that they even know what they're doing. Thank you the purpose team for finding Mr.Lopez and bringing closure to his family members.
That's not at all how it happened, they simply want to avoid civilians being in their scene. It's the same as having a random tow operator go into an accident with a body. They had them come in afterwards because they needed help.
@@JimmyMcneil They literally said they couldn't find it and came over and asked them to hook the line up to it AGAIN *that they already had on the car*
@@lexithomas9694 Did you not read my comment?
I’m glad to hear the Sheriff apologize. I know this is “their job” but for them to make you remove your marker when you’re on the vehicle just seemed petty.
You always are so gracious and professional with the people who can be rude.
An absolute clueless turd of a sheriff. And cops wonder why so many people label all of them as absolutely contemptible.
But the person that removed the marker should be disciplined .
That was ridiculous. That sheriff should be voted out. Had that been the Polk county sheriff they would have welcomed the help. Polk county Florida Sheriff Grady Judd for President.
and then having to come back and ask them to mark it again.....made fools of themselves.
Let AWP just do their work and help, what's the harm in having outsiders help giving closure to families
@@yvettet7398 Because they wanted ALL of the glory! Doug removed the marker, and it took the sheriff almost 5 hours of diving and going nowhere to ask AWP to REMARK the car! 5 WASTED man hours. Ego's need to be left out of situations like these. I noticed Doug wasn't in the video much after, I imagine he was steaming pissed!
I tweeted the sheriff's and told them they should reach out to you for some assistance. And someone tweeted me back that this isn't a "youtube" shoot or something along those lines and then no joke two hours later it was reported that you helped them recover. Thank you for what you do!
Seriously someone needs to have these police officers evaluated, they're so far up their own ass they get mad at people offering to help
You should respond with "I told you so."
@@lauratreasures3816 I think I might'd add a few bad words to the tweet 😡😠
@@jazmyndebono4927 with hostility towards the police these days I can kind of understand. They want to help improve their image. What they don't realize is that it would help their image if they would work with groups like AWP. At least in my eyes it sends a message that they are willing to work with the public.
@@annabouillon8797 - One of the most sensible comments that really shows critical thinking and perspectives! Thank you-
When are these cities and townships gonna learn this isn't a popularity contest. They could of been done hours earlier if they'd just accept the help
@Mark Anthony Between the support vehicles, boats, and all there equipment on scene I bet the big government had at least a few million dollars tied up. You can then add all the wages and charge out times for the people on the scene and there budget is astronomical. Jared and his team deserve a lot of credit for doing what they do very well and at a fraction of the cost.
They don’t the help bcause they want to look good for the community n look like hero’s unfortunately they not in my eyes it was Jared n AWP team that found him
Government cannot accept help because they are the help. - 🤣😂😅🤣😂😅. - Government is so stupid.
Days earlier
@@Jaksmodteam Even a Professional can learn new things
The sad part is the authorities stating they knew where it was but they had left for lunch which says it all. Help should always be accepted esp when the equipment and experience speaks for itself!
He had been in the water for days. It's illogical that they couldn't spare a moment for lunch when it's a recovery and not rescue mission.
@@meatisadelicacy There is no logic in that...If they really found the car,they would not move from that spot...That would be their priority at that moment...Logical thinking would be,if we go for lunch now maybe when we come back the body is fallen out of the car and we lose it....So no i dont belive they knew it was there before they went for lunch
Pigs
@@meatisadelicacy I think the Flowing Waters is doubting the authorities would simply 'drive away' to take a lunch break if they HAD found the car. To put it another way, they're certainly allowed to take a lunch break, but it sounds like a lie when they return from the break, say they know where the car is, spend hours trying to find it, and then ask AWP to mark it again.
They didn’t know where it was.
Being from Oregon I am very ashamed of this Sheriffs department, their ego was more important than finding this man.
MCSO has ALWAYS had a huge ego problem.
I'm from here to, doesn't surprise me. But makes me asked also.
MCSO in 2004 had an agency wide bet on who could get the most Marijuana possession tickets during the week of spring break, I was 18 and was thr designated driver & got pulled over and the told us all about it, they illegally searched my car, were physically and verbally abusive. And this isn't even close to my worst storied about Mult-Co.
I am police supporter to and grind my gears when they abuse their power.
I'm glad they apoligized though. And they are always getting bad information and always have to be careful who is around them, so I am understanding on that part . But you can still show people respect.
Our Sherrif here in OR are usually pretty Stellar imo compared to others but I am open to adjusting my opinion…. Definitely disappointing to see how they were treated absolutely. At least there was a full apology at the end. This was such an awful accident this winter, just heartbreaking 🙏🏻
@@krystle4248 only because of recording
I’m so glad the sheriff apologized. Everyone was trying to recover this amazing mans body and everyone deserves praise and thanks.
The damage was done. Putting a bandage on a severed limb isn't going to do any good!🤦♂️
@@brickcity9mm327 Making a mistake isn't putting a bandaid on a severed limb. It's a mistake. They apologized. Antonio's family is able to lay him to rest now because they all did the work to recover him. 🤷 Nobody's ego is the most important thing here. Recovering this man was. Not someone's attitude (which they apologized for) while under a stressful situation.
@@brickcity9mm327 that's some thin skin y got there then buddy.
@@01wonderful "We are all aware that police in America [are] quite toxic, but the fact that he apologized is a really big step forward. Others would just arrest them on the spot and say ' they interfere with the recovery of a body'."
You got at least part of this right. They COULD have arrested them, but they didn't. That's called discretionary power. And it would have been for "obstructing legal process"; that means interfering with a police investigation, which is a felony.
But, as I said, they didn't take that rout, because it would have been over kill.
As to us all being aware that the police in America are "toxic", I am aware of no such thing. And since you have made this statement, you will need to prove it by a presentation of solid, well researched evidence that will back your statement.
I can assure you before you start, you won't find any.
I, on the other hand, can present a refutation of your statement right here; from the MacIver Institute, April, 2021 and I quote: "The Washington Post has created a database of every known deadly police shooting in America since 2015. As of this writing, 6,211 people have been shot and killed by law enforcement officers. 46% of them-2,883 to be exact-were white, while 24% (1,496 total) were black.
Just 6% were unarmed."
In the mean time, almost 100 people were shot in Chicago on the 4th of July...none of them by police officers. 100 people in ONE NIGHT. Who's toxic?
@@markl2322 thank you.
The accident was tragic, but what upset me even more was the blatant arrogance of the PD to refuse professional help when the end goal is to console the family.
That’s never the police goal, their whole kick is they are the best at everything thus better than us
@@jeremyaltom1303 wrong. They have to ascert authority when entitled and ignorant fools like you stick there nose where it doesn't belong. Get off your high horse and realize this world doesn't revolve around you.
Police had apologized. Lets forget about someone else mistakes and move on
Exactly my words 💔💔
@@rynara1234 it doesn’t change the fact the pd in that area are a bunch of assholes😂
I love how confidently Jared said, when are they going to take lunch so we can go over and find the car. He just knew they were going to find the car.
he's done it before, you doing enough times you becomes an expert
The authorities should be ashamed. Trying to take credit over a victim they clearly weren't in a rush to help! You guys are doing God's work❤
Just like that 17 year old girl from California that never gave AWP credit for finding just because the city wanted to cover it up and AWP clearly saw evidence of foul play.
I can’t imagine how his daughter must feel. She encouraged him to stay home cuz she knew something bad was gonna happen and then it did. So sad Rest In Peace Antonio
i think kids know more than anyone and they can tell. it’s heartbreaking at times.
The kids knew what was going to happen but he was determined to work no matter what so his kids could have a good life. There was a lot of love in that family.
Let a drive or flight take an extra minute, or even 20, or loose it within those 1 or 20.
@@nikovlogs9837 True
The universe ALWAYS sends a message , just th.rough different means.....
Understanding the Message is the real deal
Big respect for the officer coming to apologise at the end, i know these situations can be stressful for the authorities involved and he realised he was harsh at first. At the end you were there to help them and not steal the spotlight or make them look bad, he made himself look bad with what he said but he fixed that with the apology. Much respect to Jared and the AWP team for doing what you do! Big love from the UK!
Too many people are looking for put downs of police in these times. Some individuals handle things with negative results. Most dont
I just hope he learned from this. Time will tell. It is of course one thing to apologize when you suddenly realize who you have just insulted and that your behavior will be posted on You Tube. It is another when you think no one will find out.
I kinda feel like he did that because he knew they were filming them and didn’t want the public to think anything. Also, he realized he needed Jared’s help. Can’t imagine how hard it was for him to have to ask Jared locate it for them again.
The police did the right thing to chase them away its a "crime" scene. They have no clue who he is upon arrival driving around.
AWP should have came to them first at land or atleast drive to the boat and explain he have good gear for sonar and that he does this for a living (detecting cars underwater) and he could be of good help to locate the car and pinpoint the location and if they needed assistance he take up cars from the water for a living.
The police apologize after he realized that he was requested to be there and what he does for a living not just a stranger that want to be in the action.
It is very important to communicate with the police beforehand.
@@Nickerian91 he did tell them as they were coming up that they were just there to help. And even after the police told them to stay back, which they did, and after finding the car, they refused help still, knowing they hadn’t actually found the car like they said. Nothing wrong with them detecting the car. They didn’t have dive gear on so it’s not like they were going to dive in themselves.
This is more proof that YOU need to be training more agencies and they need to appreciate your expertise! Ridiculous!!!!
It's about time these guys got the recognition they deserve not that I think they're looking for praise but they have a real professional manner and are very thorough. Great guys who help a lot of families.
They should be meeting with Leo's at the National conventions to introduce them selves make their abilities and if they have accreditations known so department will ask for their help , at least on the oldest unsolved cases and not have the families have to ask.
No one should be missing for years in a sunken car
Actually, I work for such an agency and have started watching these videos to learn since I recently became aware of them. There is always more that can be learned, and when it comes to using sonar for vehicle and body recovery, I think Jared has become a subject matter expert. I for one, appreciate the work that he and his team are doing.
Really people going to understand everybody is ridiculing the police this is their job they put so much time and mental work into searching for people and it is emotional and a lot of times they feel people that come from out of town to do things like this are doing it for notoriety we obviously know these guys are good people but for people that don't follow stuff like this like many of those who work in enforcement they feel like this is not a joke to them this is not a view for them this is real life and this is their town so they feel close to what they are doing so people need to understand that before they assume that police just don't want help and you also need to understand that they don't have that kind of equipment all the time especially certain parts of the country where it's a rural area or just don't have the finances so they work with what they have and endangered they do the best they can do you think they like not telling a family that they can't find their loved ones
@@yvetteesandoval6638 relative is a cop I assume?
It's a tough job but there's serious pathologies associated with cops that lead to much of the hate that they get. The most common one is a desperate need to appear authoritarive, to the detriment of everyone around them.
This is so SAD for this Family missing their loved one and this Embarrassing for this Police Office!
Jared, your professionalism continues to amaze me. I have seen so many Sheriffs be absolutely rude to you and your team and you always treat them with the utmost respect regardless. I was very disappointed in this sheriff at first, but it said a lot about him when he came and apologized and thanked you. You guys continue doing EXACTLY what you're doing. ❤️
the sheriff is still a douchebag. He only apologized because he knew it would be a shitstorm if he didn't. it was nothing more than damage control.
Yes Jared, please keep doing exactly as you are! Love always prevails and brings disrespect to its knees❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✡️✝️ I was heartbroken when I saw you talk about IDAHO FALLS YOUNG MAN, just remember you are selfless, and G-d knows it! You resolved the case and my heart is happy you did, time heals the moms heart and may G-d bless her as she heals from her loss. Now she can lay him in the arms of G-D and healing will come. Thank you Jared, don’t you ever stop.., our family in Idaho supports and prays for all the good you have done for families, thank you!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✡️
If you don't act like an a-hole at the start, then you never have to apologize for being an a-hole later.
It’s funny how a lot of people were simply putting out there how some of the sheriffs have been less than kind, and you decide to have a public freak out about the fact that someone’s actions being less than favorable creates an assumption of someone being rude. I saw a comment earlier from an ex-police officer who talked about how a lot of these sheriffs and officers will be upset with these guys because of their egos.
@@mpshotattwice3253 Ego trip??
Thank god. His family didn't have to wait years to find him.
I never knew how "common" that was for cases like this until finding this channel.
Right? Years and years even decades for many. Technology is scary but this is amazing!
Maybe lt was just meant to show others that you do have the knowledge and kindness to finish the job..
@@abigailrose5993 Technology isn’t scary
It’s funny how law enforcement takes forever to find people and then Adventures with Purpose comes along and finds them within hours. Nothing but love and respect for these guys. Y’all brought closure to so many families and friends , it’s so inspiring what you guys do. Mad respect 🙏🏽
To be fair, they most likely have a desk full of cases and it's about time management and resources.
It's called the government.. anything hired out will always be upgrade....
Of course they paid fat money for a job like this. No rush at all. We pay for them. Civilians
They also specialize in this, while police probably don’t use sonar often enough to be comfortable with situations coming up infrequently like this.
We don't have the resources to concentrate on ONE case to paraphrase what Jay is saying. I have a desk filled with sexual assaults, robberies, and missing persons, this crew is looking for one car. Please understand this.
Imagine how much faster the recovery of Mr. Lopez would have been if they had let you guys do what you do best. It’s like they felt they could take their sweet time just because he was deceased already. Truly a shame. Great job nevertheless, as always. I’m so happy the family got him back and could get some peace with it. Much love guys!
they need to get that overtime $$$$$ in thats all they want
Well he's not getting deader. I understand the desire to move already but in that I disagree with the team. If they've been down there 1, 10, 30 years another day or two doesn't matter. Thats life and often death, it doesn't happen boom now because you want some sorta outcome. Its sucks to be waiting for 2-3 days for recovery and however long for id but it also sucks to remove life support and have your person take 6 days to die. 6 days of any moment now, exhausting waiting. It also sucks when someone has weeks to months to die. Wondering if today's the day or next week or if you'll squeak out Christmas this year. But thats the nature of death, it happens on its own timetable
“It’s right here”
“Yea we know”
No they didn’t🤧
Glad they ended up apologizing in the end. I get that a lot of people are looking for them to solve it themselves, so they were stressed to find it without any help
They shouldn't have cared who found the car, their only goal should have been to find it ASAP for the family. I hope they feel guilt, regret and shame for hindering the recovery.
I feel like they only apologized to save face.
@@wc5436 Isn't that part of what an apology is?
@@Nikolaj11 not at all. You apologize because you realize and acknowledge you were wrong and want to take responsibility and make amends. If you're apologizing just to save face it's purely to make yourself look better and not because you're actually sorry.
@@belad0nna And to save face
That’s COMPLETELY embarrassing. They are a SEARCH team. Authorities or not, the goal is to help solve the case and MORE importantly, help the Family. This just emphasizes how much your guys’ services is NEEDED for humanity. What those authorities were doing was NOT in the best interest for HUMANITY. Just for AGENDA. How is that ok ?
So on point!
It's just not ok. It's fuckin bullshit politics. I hope whoever was in charge got voted out.
My brother is on the sheriff’s dive team and he said the dive was particularly difficult due to it was 38° and there was a strong current.
He was the diver that went down after you marked it. He noted that you guys have better sonar than they do. He said the first ones down found a cylinder and then... the rest followed.
I did mention the new sonar and that he should (hopefully) pass that info on, so that they know who to call in the future and coordinate with, if needed.
You guys are still amazing as ever. Thank you!!!
Edit: One thing for others to consider, that he later pointed out, was that it was still considered an active crime scene and they have policies and procedures that have to be followed. I’m an Army Veteran and was like.. 🤦🏼♀️ I should have automatically considered that, considering military life is nothing but rules, regulations, and S.O.P.’s. 🤓
Also, as an Army Veteran, most of those I served with were decent people... it’s those ‘other’ few that were bottom feeders and they were the ones that gathered more attention. Just to be clear... I have no tolerance, nor the patience for any kind of ‘bottom feeders’ in our society... especially those in positions of power.
Lastly, AWP typically recovers those drowning victims who are suspected to be within vehicles; whereas, once activated, the police dept. divers are searching, within a short period of time, after a person has been reported missing or lost.
Q for @adventureswithpurpose ... was this the first time you’ve been called in on a search, so soon after the accident?
Which one is your brother? Good dive team they have. We need to collaborate and train together.
@ibemmy225 sounds like they do not have livescope. I've wondered how these guys are doing better then the counties are at searching areas. And it's livescope, all drive teams should own the proper sonar.
Seems like you're running into more cops being dicks. I don't get it. Cops seem to act like it's us and them mentality.
@@nancid5265 I know right!! Defunding the police is just about the dumbest and Most illogical thing ever!! We need police 👮🏻♂️ 👮🏽... refund them!
Thank you're brother
It's so sad that authorities didn't just let you help. Egos are such a horrible thing to deal with. You handled them with wonderful pose.
Poor man goes to work and dies in such a tragic way... can't imagine the fear he felt. Prayers go out to his family.
@Brandy Montgomery Reeves I just feel for the guy- he lived a good and honest life, worked hard and his dedication and work ethic told him to go to work even during a winter storm that made it very dangerous to travel to work. It is so sad. He lost his life for trying to do the right thing... And who knows how long it took for the vehicle to become flooded- how hard did he fight to get out? I can't imagine how terrifying that must have been. This is just so unimaginably unfair that this good man died in such a way.
@@KLUNKET He was probably unconscious.
It probably happened really fast.
@@ChyloeReece that would be the most ideal way to out especially with a drowning while trapped
Very sad and such a loss such a hard working man.
I admire the composure and professionalism you always show towards the authorities when they are not being so kind to you. Thank you for everything you do.
You're welcome & Thank you for watching and supporting AWP.
Why is it that the authorities never seem to treat them kindly?
@@largeautomobile Jealous....but at least they had some humble pie for lunch.
My parents used to say that the biggest up yours you could give someone is to be kind to them when they're being a$$holes to you
@@largeautomobile ego is valued more than doing the right thing. Selfishness over compassion. BUT I will say, it takes a man swallowing his ego to apologize, and is commendable.
They’ve been looking for 2 days.
“Are they gonna take lunch yet so we can go and find the car??”
Authorities take lunch.
*Finds car immediately•
That is crazyyyy, I would be absolutely ashamed..
I know right, then they lose the marker and ask them to mark it again.
Authorities flipped a coin to see who would have to eat $hit and ask for help😂😂😂😂
Amazing, isn't it?
you have to wonder if they even have their finder plugged in.
I’m glad the Sheriff apologized for being so harsh. In the beginning of this video he didn’t quite finish what he was saying. He seemed to struggle with his words. In my heart I believe he was about to say they didn’t want help from amateurs. It really bothered me. But I’m glad he apologized. Keep up the great work !
“Do you know it’s here”
“Yeah”
They definitely had no clue, lol.
I believe the cops said that a couple cases ago where the cops and awp almost got into an argument and I think it was teen missing when Awp found the car in the water.
@@Megz1794 yep, the police ignored the mothers plea for months, she knew her son was in the river and she begged them to check and they didnt have any evidence to believe that so they just didnt because of the money, so the mother contacted AWP, within the first 3 hours they had located and identified the car and authorities were NOT happy to say the least. heartbreaking
@@elliemae5526yeah I just remember the cops using a similar argument with the case of a 17 year old aka a teen with Awp before
@@elliemae5526 actually they found Nick within an hour, and could've had him out in half an hour after he was found. But the pushback and disrespect from authorities was such that it took them the rest of the day. It was 3+ hours to get him out. And all the grief given to the family and AWP when APOLOGIES were in order. The investigator/officer that responded was more worried about getting them to shut off the cameras so he wasn't held accountable for his shitty attitude and behavior as well as his concern that recovery would destroy the pretty area the county just spent all this money (supposedly) to build. They didn't wanna move some rocks/boulders or have tracks on the grounds that would make it look a mess. Instead of worrying about bringing closure to a family who intuitively KNEW their family member was there for MONTHS. Ego. Sad!!! They should be ASHAMED!
@@resarm5007 I just finished that video.. They actually found him 6 minutes & some seconds into their search!
Such a shame that the authorities own pride stands in the way of collaborative working in order to get a thorough and potentially speedier outcome for a bereaved family. Thank you for everything you do .
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They would never admit a citizen has better investigation skills after they spent so many hours training
I don't think it is only pride. There's to be a lot of pressure from outside as well so they kind of have to show results of their own. I'm not saying that pride is not a factor at all, but knowing how savage press can be in this day and age, they have to be considerate of that, too, sadly.
@@MediCali951 It really isn’t that much training which is probably part of the problem in a big way.
@@jamesderbutler from all of these videos, Seeing them act similarly in town after town, I think it’s pride and embarrassment for it being revealed how little they really do. A friend of mine went missing as a grown woman and we learned the hard way that the police do not do much. A third party team was much more helpful in finding any leads at all. The police just try to convince you it isn’t an issue or suspicious. They tried to say she ran away when she left behind all her money and her car was found abandoned with the driver seat pushed back and unknown fingerprints.
I'm not so sure I would say the police had an excellent dive team. They let their egos get in the way. You had it marked, they screwed that up then came to you for help. Total BS. You guys do excellent work and I've never seen your egos override the 'purpose' you are there for. Keep up the good work!
The sonar guys were a different unit than the dive team. Once the vehicle was marked the dive team seemed competent
If it had been me after I marked it and they insisted I take off the marker, when they came back to ask for help I would've told them to kiss my a** and waited till they gave up before helping them. Then I would have charged them $1,000 bucks recovery fee.
Wow, I am embarrassed that our local authorities acted like this. Shame on them! Waaaaaaay too much ego involved, that's for sure. Thank you AWP, for all you do. Seriously, I know you get told this a lot, but you are earth angels & this world needs YOU! 🙏❤️ Edit- I am glad the sheriff's department apologized to you. You definitely deserved it.
Rest In Piece Antonio Amaro Lopez, You were a man of passion and dedication to his family.
But because he wouldn’t stay home and be safe his family has to live without him. My husband wouldn’t listen to me when I told him to do certain things for his safety and now he is gone too. I suffer everyday because he isn’t here to help do the things he used to do for us, we struggle to get by. He even said when he was dying that he didn’t think we could make it without him and it is difficult. Please all of you men out there please stop being so macho,if your wife begs you to see a doctor, go get a check up. If she tells you it’s too dangerous to drive to work in a blizzard, take a vacation day because maybe she has a feeling given by an Angel. Earning that few dollars that day is not worth your life to us.
I drove over that bridge exactly 30 minutes before his accident, coming back from illani. the snow was pushed against the sides of the bridge like ramps. I took a picture of it and told my wife as we drove over it about how dangerous it was.
Very sorry that this happened. You guys are amazing.
We’re you able to drive fast that day? Or what speed would u say cars were doing ?
No reason that snow should be piled up like that and to also not have something there to block people from going over is needed.
I'm surprised at the lack of barriers on this bridge.
@@WarriorRazor Yeah especially if it's in an area that has snow during the winter season.
So you took pictures of the snow piled up on the gaurd rail while you were driving on icy roads. That was safe. Did you also tell your wife how dangerous it was for you to take pictures? One question for you. Where were the plows supposed to put the snow? I have always said when people complain about how the road was plowed, that the plow drivers could have just stayed home and then say think about how bad it could have been if they did. This was a freak accident and probably won't happen again on that bridge for another 50 years or more. When the good Lord calls you home it does not matter where you are or what you are doing.
The lack of safety railing on that bridge is so concerning wow.
Here in Australia literally every bridge, road, highway, hill, train line, underpass, corner, literally everything has a safety rail.
I was coming to say the same thing!! How can you have a bridge this high with NO guardrails in place AT ALL!??! It's insane!
A comment above explains it, but the snow was pushed up against the concrete sides, which act as safety rails, and this created a ramp so that he could drive over the side. They should definitely look into the bridges safety though, and potentially add higher railing/siding.
@@carriecheung3446 Yeah I've seen pictures of the bridge and the "bricked" sideline that's in place, but even a sidewalk is higher than that! It's insane that there's no actual rail to prevent a car from simply driving over, especially with snow acting as a full on ramp! They REALLY need to look into better safety measures. :(
In Germany it’s the same, we have on every road, no matter how far out in the country some markers or guard rails and my boyfriend who’s American keeps telling me that in the states that’s a rare sight! It’s crazy!!
This is what happens when the taxes they raise telling us it is for Road upgrades gets laundered
What's sad is if they let them help from the beginning the car would have been found sooner and he would have been out sooner. 🥺 rest in peace Antonio.
@Aidan Dykstra i agree these guys are very invasive they want to go get some content i understand they do a great job but no need to keep annoying the search team when they said go away
Ikr smh
A dedicated man, couldn't take a day off, even though it might mean his death, because he was desparate to keep his family homed and fed. and couldn't afford to avoid his eminent death
I believe our days are all numbered and set before us. Always have your affairs in order for you never know.
This is the story of modern day America. "He could not afford to avoid his death."
I just want to say that I lost a co-worker friend, who died instantly, because a big rig ran a red light, T boning my friend killing him instantly. He was a hard working, loving, caring, and very popular well loved employee in my workplace & a loving & dedicated husband & father of 3 daughters. RIP Casey Owens 😢

I like how professional and humble Jared was..hopefully, the authorities wont be just after the credit who found first..they should have acknowledge from the start the help these three guys gave..anyways, you guys are amazing
and Happy to see the sheriff personally apologizing
The authorities had searched unsuccessfully.
I live just south of Portland. The news was so biased and originally gave the Sheriffs Dept all the credit at first. I wasn’t happy.
@@victoriaeastman3248 that's so sad..credit grabbing
Yeah, egos can be the biggest hindrance to the LE profession. Weather and water temps, for the safety of the divers, work smarter not harder, all that matters is Mr Amaro-Lopez was brought home and everybody else got to go home, too.
These two guys are a dynamic team making a huge difference to countless people.
The fact that they made you remove your maker was downright irresponsible. I understand the PD not wanting civilians involved sometimes for several different reasons but they don't have to be rude about it and let pride get in the way.
Watching this brought me back to the time my nephew drown and the coast guard called off the search and my nephew was under water for three days.. It took a volunteer from 5 towns away and two dogs on a boat to locate my nephew after 3 long days.. My deepest condolences to this family and to all the members of Adventures with purpose THANK YOU!!!!!!!
My husband went to work over the bridge just an hour after Antonio's accident. This was so sad, but we were very happy he was recovered so soon. That usually isn't the case in the Columbia. Thank you for what you do, it's quite selfless and very incredible.
That he was recovered so soon?
You must be joking right?
If it wasn't for this team they would have not find him at all.
They were already looking for 2 days.
Just buy the same sonar things for christ sake.
@@desiree8333 exactly why I thanked them for what they do. Recoveries in the Columbia usually take much longer if they're recovered at all.
@@desiree8333 I don't think it's all an equipment issue, I think a good amount of it is an experience/training issue. Sure, there's red tape/budgeting issues that prevents LE obtaining the most up-to-date in equipment and Jared & Co have been lucky to have some great sponsors donate the very best, but even back when Jared was still working with the older stuff he was able to read the output better than these cops.
I think part of what makes him, and now his team (that he's mostly trained by being hands on), more adept at recognising cars amogst everything else in the water is that he does so much of it (not just in helping solve cases, but in the river cleanups where he started), but also as a diver he has an understanding of what is happening on the bottom of the river/lake/reservoir, which helps him with that interpretation (telling apart a car from things like agiant log, old pier/bridge bracings, and other debris etc). I also think his smaller boat & set up is often an advantage too.
On top of that, he's also developed a pretty good understanding of the area above water...to read entry points, car's physics, and the like...so looking at the marks on the bridge and using that and other things he knows about how cars travel in the air & water (as seen in other recoveries), he was quickly able to estimate how far & if/where the vehicle may have travelled. Every case they do they add their gained knowledge to the next.
Unfortunately, even though it's their job, the police looking for the car likely just haven't done it enough (it's usually the situation with every case AWP works) and likely too far between each one they have, so there's little chance to learn from hands on. All the cars Jared and friends retrieved just for clean up helped them learn. However, that sort of thing is beneath LE, not enough money/time/inclination, even though they could really benefit from it. So you have a multi-faceted issue 1) buying of newest equipment not being sanctioned because of money, 2) lack of experience, training, and ability to read the sonar outputs, and 3) the thing that we saw here that caused the longest delay...ego.
Imagine how quick this would have been if the police hadn't ordered them out in the beginning. Once the cops went on lunch Jared went almost straight to the right point and they had it marked by the time the cops came back... but ego and hubris from the cops meant they still wouldn't accept that help. And I wonder if they would have taken even longer to finally ask for help if the family hadn't been there. I imagine those first divers in would have been annoyed too because they were diving without a real target, and even though it being winter the river probably had as good a visibility as it can get, they still wouldn't see it if they were just a foot too far from it.
I guess at least they apologised at the end, but even so, he shouldn't have needed to. All they had to do was ask who are you, do you know what you're doing? And then follow up with "Great, let's co-oridnate our efforts." Sadly, Jared & Co have come across far too many LE with this attitude issue and then they screw stuff up.
There should be mandatory ongoing training for LEOs working sonar in their search teams, and from outside experts...not from other cops who have obviously been doing the job poorly for years. Hell, most of them would likely improve massively just from watching all AWPs vids, from the junk car retrievals in the clean ups to the cold case searches. Maybe Jared needs to look at setting up training for LE, might improve their attitude as well as their skills.
It’s sad that a lot of the sherif departments aren’t keen on AWPs help, they know who you are and what you do, when that officer/Sheriff came back saying he knew the car was there I honestly don’t believe that, his pride got in the way there and that’s just sad as all he did was waste more time in getting Mr Lopez out of the water making the family wait longer
Jared, Doug and Scott, thank you for rushing to be at the families side and aid in the Recovery, I am honoured to be a member of this community you are all building, God bless you all, God certainly knew what he was doing bringing all you guys together from all areas of the U.S ❤️
@@mpshotattwice3253 thank you for the correction on the name, I got it wrong but it was the same guy I was referring too 💕

Make sure you keep your mental health as a number one priority. Take breaks when you need to and do not feel bad for needing to decompress. You are a gift to all of us. Thank you for doing this for families across America.

I so agree….SHAME ON THE OTHERS WHO SPOKE AS TO HOW YOU SPLIT THE FUNDS, EVEN THOUGH THEY SIGNED UP AS VOLUNTEERS….THEIR WORDS ABOUT JARED HAVE PISSED ME OFF ROYALLY!!! IF YOU WANTED TO GET PAID IM SURE JARED WOULD HAVE DESIGNED A WAY TO INCLUDE YOU IN THE FUNDING PART OF AWP….WHAT A SHAME Y’all ARE SOUNDING GREEDY TO ME….
Sucks that the police/sheriff let their ego get in the way at first. Things could have happened a lot more quickly if they had just accepted the help upon your arrival. But I'm glad to see that the sheriff humbled himself and came to apologize at the end. It takes a lot of guts to swallow pride. Y'all did a wonderful job, as always.
Nah b😅😢😊😂 18:00 7@5😢🎉😮(
At the very least, Police should've found out who these guys were, before dismissing them like weekend fisherman.
“They have a good dive team, I’ll give them that”
2 divers deployed and can not find the vehicle, police boat comes back over and acts like they didn’t yell at you before cuz they now need your expertise.
That sheriff’s personnel are a bunch of idiots!!! 😜😜🤡🤡🤡🤡
I love how respectful you are to everyone even when they’re being harsh on you.
idk why but hearing they were married for 35 years is what made me start crying. Such a good man. He deserved more.
He’s in a beautiful place rest assured. I’ve been there………🌅💗
Yes, he was a very hard working husband and dad. May he be blessed with eternal peace.
How disgusting that people choose ego to get in the way of the greater good. Disgraceful behaviour from the authorities. No wonder why people go missing for so long without families getting closure. Good on all at AWP you handle it with humility. It must be so frustrating when dealing with egotistical people.
AWP - “you know it’s right here? it’s right here!”
Police - “We know...”
Me - “You definitely didn’t know, LOL”
"Heeey were you the one in the blue boat? Yeah can you mark it again for us?"
@@Asp47999 ya they didn't no anything made me so mad
Exactly! They were so rude it was actually embarrassing for tha at department to act like that. Sad 😞
@@Buzinfree777 that’s exactly why they came up at the end to apologize, when they found out Adventures With Purpose actually knew there shit and weren’t just some random people looking to join the search effort. Definitely quite embarrassing for them.
I didn't even see your comment when I posted mine... literally the same thing lol. Wouldn't have posted If I had just read first
My heart goes out to his wife. 35 years, I could not imagine losing my soulmate after so much time. I hope she finds joy in the little moments.
When will the authorities realize that you guys know what you’re doing.....it’s so silly when you’re dealing with peoples lives that they care “who” found it! Be better people, be better. The only thing that should matter is bringing him home.
Called legal issues lmao who cates uh greedy lawyers lmao
The authorities already know that AWP know what they are doing! Thats the real problem! They dont want to have 2 guys in a raft find a car in 30 minutes while they have millions in equipment and didn’t find anything in 3 days. They need to justify their existence and importance.
@@asfandbabar5635 You right they cant accept it that AWP are the real proffesionels!!
@@DOLfirst wouldn’t doubt it, absolute power corrupts absolutely, I’m certain the sheriff who apologized only did so after knowing they were being recorded, “i didn’t know your role in this” was bs...
It really saddens me how it seems to be a pattern with all these different police departments in all different states not wanting to search for these families lost loved ones, and usually almost instantly you guys always seem to recover the vehicle in question along with the person who passed!! it just goes to show that they don't care. NOW if it were a family member of these police officers you can bet your ass they would have every last dive team around the world looking for their loved one. So whoever is reading this please don't hesitate help donate to their channel so we can continue to fund these wonderful men so they can continue to find lost loved ones that need to be recovered! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
🙏 🙏 🙏
Exactly!!!
It's not always just local pds not wanting help. These are crime scenes until proven otherwise, and there are protocols that exist for good reason. How would you feel if a family member was murdered, or a car company was liable in a situation like this, but it couldn't be proven in court because civilians interfered and tampered with evidence?
@@meatisadelicacy a “civilian” isn’t gonna mess with evidence any more than the “professionals” get over yourself.
@@meatisadelicacy How is putting a buoy on a submerged car tampering with evidence?
Wow. Astonishing how inept the authorities are. I have been binge watching since I found your channel this morning. Thank God there are folks like you guys out there to care for these families and bring swift closure after what for some has been a lifetime of uncertainty. Bless you all, stay safe out there.
Heartbroken for Antonio's family and friends. Thank you for continously and tirelessly being there to help and support the families you do. I feel privileged to be apart of your journey and to be a member of the AWP family ❤️
I love how authorities shoo you away, and then agree with you when you find the object they're searching for (for 2 days). Thank you for everything you do to provide families with answers.
Why are so many law enforcement agencies complete assholes? It's disappointing to always see them act that way. Good job to you guys for finding the target, as always.
@Birdie My husband is black and has never had an altercation with the police. My dad on the other hand is white and has had plenty. Why? Because he's reckless, irresponsible and doesn't care about the law. Stop believing leftist propaganda and you may begin to see clearly.
@@tryphenarose384 oh stop trying to oppress yourself. not every black individual is going to have bad run ins with cops especially depending on where they are from..BUT people of color are more likely to have bad experiences so please stfu
@@tryphenarose384 same, my dad is white but always gets in trouble because he can’t stop mouthing off. Wish he would realize that’s it’s his attitude rather than other people around him.
To be fair, first thing I would be worried as a cop is that they would come and mess up the evidence. It has happened a lot in the past when people from outside try to come and help and don’t understand the procedure so the person wouldn’t get found or evidence would get tampered.
Never know, this could have been a murder.!
They are doing what they think is best to uphold the law, most of the time. But often times they are very misguided about what's best.
I remember watching this vehicle going over and my heart felt for the family. Thank you so much to this team that dedicates their time to reuniting lost loved ones with their families❤️
Oh no!!,was actually there?
To witness that,must of been so shocking.
I hope your ok? 🙂🙏🏽
Where u there ?
Omg you actually SAW it happen?! Wow how devastating 😢 so sad for the family as well but so glad these guys were there and the police finally found this man. Wish the cops and divers wouldn't have had egos that got in the way tho and allowed the team here to help sooner but just glad he's returned to his family
"The car's right here"
"We know"
"Are you the guy who was on the blue boat?"
"Yes"
"Do you think you could mark it again for us?"
Yup. They totally didn't know.
What total and utter crap.
Regardless of someone apologising after the event, I bet EVERY INCIDENT that goes like thst will forever be mentally noted.

@@richlaue Living in Oregon myself, public funds just don't go where they should even though they basically tax us for paying taxes.
My worst fear. Drowning and or burning to death. This is so sad. I feel terrible for the family and how much this man had to suffer going in that cold water and not being able to escape. It’s so awful.
Same here.
i'd want to die in my sleep. just, drifting off, to nothing, without even realising it.
he may have died on impact, thats a high bridge
I've told my girls if they ever think they are going in water... very first thing is open the window, thens eat belt off. My worry is the being stuck in the cqr, with electric s that are going to stop instantly you hit. We have a small brick surrounded river in town, like 5 metres wide, 2 metres to water... yet a man died a few years ago after rolling in. My girls were only 10 and 9 at the time but i wanted it instilled just like rules for crossing the road.
@@somewherehere424 let them known they can remove their head rest and use the metal ends to try and break their window if trapped
Thank you Jared and Doug for helping this family out as well as helping the sheriff when they finally asked. I am proud to be part of AWP. Tell Dan the video is awesome. You all take care of yourself.
With all the law enforcement under staffed they should be greatly appreciated your services.
I watched this live and I’ve gotta say, with this case and others, it really bothers me when AWP gets pushed back, told to step aside, especially after THEY have located the vehicle and a family’s love one!! I could go on a rant about this, but I won’t!! It’s not about “who” gets credits, it’s about finding a family’s love one!! AWP are “Angels in Wet Suits”🤿❤️🪝
Why would a bridge exist in an area where snow occurs that has no guard rails?!
It isn't the first time a car has gone over the side and plunged into the Columbia River. I helped investigate one many years ago when I worked for Portland police (not the sheriffs office).
@@gwb8445 Maybe it's time to start a petition for some guard rails. It's sad the town, County, or State hasn't done something by now. How many people need to lost their lives before they decide to fix it? Maybe the family should look into a lawyer. I'll bet that will get the ball rolling pretty quick.
Yeah, No guard rails is crazy. Especially for slippery bridges. They should fix that.
I remember when it was built. I couldn't believe it. They said it was safe. It's such an obvious lack of common sense!
@@AWJ-zf8cf I just looked the bridge up online and 2 more people died on that bridge. That headline was 8 hours ago. Glenn Jackson bridge Portland Oregon. It's either the same bridge or the city was neglectful enough to build multiple bridges without guardrails. I've never seen anything like it.
Sounds like Law enforcement were pressured and very embarrassed at how they have mishandled this situation. To have an external outfit, like you guys come in and do what they hadn’t - they know they messed up. But to behave the way they did, that’s not OK. They forget this is a gravesite. Someone’s family is there. The family and the deceased were lost in their motivation, this became a matter of pride. It’s sad. It’s not OK.
But ultimately you found this person. Without your efforts the law wouldn’t have shown up - So thank you, you incredible people. Thanks to your help a family can finally lay their family member to rest. I pray for all of you. This is Gods work you are doing
I’m glad they apologized at the end. But it literally took AWP 10 minutes. And after 2 days the police still had not found it. I know it’s stressful but AWP are very well known all police should know they do not do this for the notoriety, they do this for the family’s and there peace of mind. It’s not like it’s there first recovery and won’t be there last. I just feel that if you have a group like this willing to assist, you should take the help and be grateful for the help.
The person was already dead, they weren't going anywhere. You want police to get better? Guess what? They have to run a recovery and learn their specific tools by themselves. They're almost always training people at the same time. Additionally, if you let civilians participate, you become responsible for them. AWP is well known by RUclips viewers, that's it. Do you know how many randos show up at scenes like this? There are divers and organizations that do this regularly and work a lot better with local authorities because they are known in the area and have had their credentials validated.
I can already tell by the comments on this video as it's beginning, that the local authorities are going to piss me off.
Thank you guys for doing this. Being brave enough to dive down to the potentially unspeakable, not to mention your knowledge and experience, is incredibly remarkable. I applaud your efforts, and pray God keeps you guys safe and blesses your adventures.
Yes so frustrating and sad, unfortunately we are treated as things and not humans, this team had the urgency for reaching out the dad, husband a love one from a family and the authorities only have protocols and insurances everything about money expenses and who takes the credit shameful indeed.
They shouldn’t have pissed you off, AWP is not an authority figure here and did not have the clearance to be there, you can’t just wander into a murder scene and go “We’re helping!” And expect the police to not tell you to piss off, the fact they came back to ask for help and apologise shows that they understand and now recognise the skill of AWP but you can’t just expect them to get a free pass at every crime scene simply because you want them to or because they have a past of helping, authority still has to be respected and the proper procedures taken to ensure both parties can cooperate together prior to the recovery, if they had divers in the water for example another boat being nearby is VERY dangerous
@@mpshotattwice3253 However as it stood all they had reasonably to go on was what AWP said, the same applies, if it is an active crime scene the police can't have randoms in the area, especially when it's water based since disturbances can make recovery much more difficult or if there is divers etc in the water and a random boat pulls up it runs the very real risk of injuring that diver, it's clear the police did want to find him themselves but let's not pretend asking them to leave wasn't reasonable.
The so-called "Authorities" have disgusted me for years Kaitlin. I've had to lose two people in my life in the last 10 years. I nearly lost my own life because of them being inept.
Yup. Another station that needs full reform. Shameful they clock in for that easy buck.
Sending my condolences to the family and friends of Mr Lopez. Thanks for being there for the family Jared and Doug.
The amount of heartache the Sheriff’s department could have saved Mr Lopez’s family if they had swallowed their pride to begin with is evident, however I am impressed that they did come and apologise for the way they behaved toward you guys.
The law enforcement on this one makes me sad. Great job Adventures With Purpose. Such professionalism.
It's honestly sad that authorities acted the way they did. I feel sometimes they forget the real reason they do things shouldn't be about "we don't want help we want to find it" take the help you can get to help some a d there families. You guys are so amazing at what you do!
Well, it IS Portland. Any decent cops that might've been there were driven out during the Summer of Love's mass exodus.
We're forgetting about the most important part of this, in our our comments, his family. His family suffering something not even time could heal. Antonio's brother was there, his wife and kids and this happening on Valentines day, something that will forever haunt more than any other day, a day of love and togetherness, a day turned tragedy forever. Imagine Antonio, trying to get home from work so he could be with is family and give his wife her chocolates, Roses and hugs. My heart is sad for all for them including Jarred and all of the team who witnesses these family's breakdown and heart breaking reactions. I can't help from crying and I know none of them or Antonio's family but I feel this sadness and pain. Married 35 years with still a long time ahead of them. What were his last thoughts, were they of his wife and kids. Probably and him thinking I love you before his end. I don't want to think someone could have saved him, I don't want to think why and i don't blame anyone, I thank Jarred, Sam, Dan, Elite towing, Scott and everyone who involves themselves wanting to help. Everyone who helps put this team where they need to be. Jarred, Sam and Dan, along with many others will forever be known and remembered as the Supermen of our time who selflessly put them selves at risk so that another's heart can have peace and resolution. You are all hero's who will live forever
My heart breaks for Antonios family especially knowing that he passed away on the way to work to provide for his family. May he rest in peace. Thank you AWP for the work you do you guys are amazing and so humble after the way that people treat you when you're just trying to help bring peace to the families who are suffering.
It is really sad when those in authority get into a "mine is bigger than yours" instead of welcoming all qualified help. They forget that it is about a lost loved one, not them. A lot of respect for you guys.
It’s sad the Oregon authorities put their pride before finding this man. They didn’t know the SUV was there, they just said that to pacify their wanted fame. Thanks to you for bringing closure to the family👍
Hey jared, I really admire how much respect you have for the police, dive team and families! You should be involved more and take more credit and you sit on your hands when told.

You do have to remember that the police didn't know who they are or what their skill level is. There is a lot of people out there who think they know and can do a lot more than they can. For all they know AWP are just a bunch of weekend divers who don't have a clue

If I was law enforcement and knew you had pulled 150 cars out in a year, and you were on scene, I'd let you have at it. You have far more experience than probably anyone in the country or the world.
why on earth would the city leave snow on a bridge that acts as a ramp to allow vehicles to drive off the bridge, it's the city's responsibility to clear that snow maybe they should be held accountable for this tragic accident, so this doesn't happen ever again, My Condolences to the family and everyone affected by this very preventable accident.
It’s the way the bridge is designed with nowhere for the snow to go when it’s being plowed off. They need to rebuild the guardrail system so snow can shoot under it and off the bridge instead of piling up like that.
Until the bridge is redesigned there is nothing that can practically be done about it unfortunately
@@kevcom000 they don't have to redesign the bridge just use different equipment to remove the snow from the sides of the bridge John Deer makes one, several cities use them why can't they use it here? it's made to clear snow from the road and the sides of bridges it's very effective and does no damage to the bridge.

After you were chased off, it is very kind for you to stay to help if they needed you. I loved it when they asked you to REmark it. You are so much nicer than I am. Thank you for helping and always being so kind. Maybe one day they will request you and you can be paid for your work.
SEEMS LIKE YOUR TEAM DOES ALL THE WORK AND EVERYONE ELSE WANTS ALL THE GLORY.
When one of the family members said “ya lo sacaron compadre” (they got you out friend) it broke my heart. Mis condolencias a la familia! Your PNW family will be here for all of you ‼️ que dios lo tenga en su santa gloria.
Beautiful Cyn thia, mi corazon roto por a la familia.
@@chordsofgratitude2073 thank you. My heart has been heavy for them ...
Heartbreaking. I'm so glad they at least have closure. They have been in my thoughts since this happened. 😔
No lake, no river, no body of water can be cleared until these people take a look. It just shows their complete expertise of what they are doing, their equipment, the maintenance of their equipment.
Wow… just Wowwww
It’s horrible how the sheriffs let their ego get in the way of the search and rescue. Thank you Adventure with purpose for your help in all you do. 🙏🏽
I respect the authorities’ positions and rules but I’m sick of their conceited actions! Props to the officer who did apologize. That was greatly needed!
I'm so glad he's family got closer praying for he's family
Stories like this are exactly why more people need to be educated on window breaker/ seatbelt cutter tools. I personally think that when you get your drivers license there should be a safety course on what to do if your car goes off the road into water.
Even so, sometimes when people go off bridges that are high up the impact is enough to knock the person unconscious and they don’t wake up in time to escape :(
Thank you guys for all that you do for the families of the missing in the water.👏
He wouldn't have lasted long in the cold water.
The best window breaker is the cars headrest. 2 metal spikes that connect it to the backrest
Walmart sells those exact tools for less than $5.
The difference in the interaction between the families and the police departments and the families and the AWP team is CLEARLY as opposite as night and day. I see these mothers hug you and thank you. Clearly at ease while standing with you and talking to you. I then see them with the officers and a complete 180 happens. They are tense, often times hopeless or angry...and even sadder still...saying they have been begging them for so long to do what you did in one day.
Ive head tbese familys say they dont believe or trust in the officers.
. Then cut to the episide of the mother hugging you and as your walking towards the water saying "I trust you completely " with a smile on her face. One that im sure hasn't been there for quite some time. Its nothing short of amazing, beautiful, and an example of selfless humanity at its best. We could all learn something from you and the AWP teams example. Thank you so much. We appreciate you, we trust you, we love you. And most importantly, WE NEED YOU!!! Much love, and even more respect.🙏🏻 ❤️
This breaks my heart every video I cry! My dad works and works and leaves early in the morning…. I am just glad that someone saw what happened and it didn’t become a mystery. Thank you guys! Amazing work
The authorities wanted to take the spotlight, but it failed. If it weren't for you guys, I don't think they would've found it for a few more days. Well, I'm so glad that you find it, because his body deserves to be in a much better place, he will be missed. May you rest in peace Antonio. I hope he goes to heaven. I can't imagine how sad his family was the moment they found out. I wish them the best of luck in the future and also wish the best of luck to those of you who took your time to read this comment. 😊
Jared I am glad you had to mark the car for the Law enforcements Thank you and everyone who helped bring him back home
It was good to show the sheriff apologise for being so harsh aswell so he didn't get alot of heat because of it. It must have been stressful and also abit downgrading for them not to be able to find it and to also ask for you to mark it. So good job
Ya I was impressed that they finally put their own egos aside an just asked if awp would assist with marking it...it showed right there..that although there is resistance initially to let what they see as "ametuers" help , that atleast 1 of them (or all) arent so full of themselves and can put the pissing contest aside and accept assistance that's being offered.
It’s good he apologized and they finally asked for you help with stuff like this ego’s need to be put aside and if you care about the family and not just trying to get all the credit then take all the help you can get to help people like this.
