Jeez I didn’t expect that story to get to me like this. A father really will track his son down to the ends of the earth. That’s awful, but I’m glad the fam got such a committed private eye and got to being him home. When I was his age, 8ish years ago, I was a mess, I’m genuinely surprised I’m not dead. (I know this was terribly accidental.) And I couldn’t understand why my dad wouldn’t just leave me alone and let me spiral instead of tracking me down no matter how far away I got or what I was on or what I yelled at him. And he’d always calmly say “because I’m your dad” and it’d drive me insane. I don’t even know how many times he had to do it. More than most fathers would have, I’m sure. It worked, though. I’m doing alright now. Not out of this world amazing, but, I’m alright. I should go see my dad tomorrow though.
I did, no worries! I saw my dad last week. I texted as soon as knew he’d be up after watching this. Then I drove an hour to surprise pick him up so we could go out to lunch. We had a really good talk. A somewhat awkward one, at points. But really good. He was a bartender in a past life so once we got home he made drinks, you know, those deceptively good ones that get you wrecked out of nowhere? Yeah, those, and we drank and watched stand-up to detox from all the heavier emotional stuff. (I’m glad he’s long changed his stance on it being okay for men to sometimes be emotional.) I wouldn’t trade it and I don’t think he would either though. Definitely gonna try and see him more often. I didn’t think anyone would read this let alone be invested in me seeing my dad, thank you guys, that was very kind. All the best!
AMAZING ! Thank u for men like this that refuse to quit. That keep pushing on for what they feel deep in their hearts. The young man himself most likely fell through the ice and succumbed to the icy cold waters. Eventually floating down stream like this man showed and became trapped under debris and ice. Rip young man.
@@shirleycameron7718 his parents hired a private investigator and he looked and looked with help of his father! The kid mom was the one that push her husband to hired this PI and the father intuition was leading to where he was found. That's really really sad and so surreal!
Brendan & this man were meant to come together in some way, shape or form to complete a mission/purpose together. Everything happens for a reason and that reason was now for them!.... 🕊🕊
Wow why isn't this going viral.? Amazing job to the private investigator. A man's word mean alot. Wish the ppl in the world would be more like this guy. Period Point Blank The End. Prayers for the young man's family. I don't know u but may you Rest In Peace.
I often wonder if people like Brendan stood by shouting in the other realms until someone heard where he was on a level we do not yet understand. God love him....rest easy kiddo.
literally had chills watching this. ❤ absolute proof that there are people meant to do this type of honorable career. much love to this man & his wife . 💔
How sad especially being so young, RIP 🙏condolences to his family and I hope that what happened is investigated and this case is resolved 🙏🙏 A wonderful job, God bless this awesome private investigator and his family, 🙏
Thank you sir for going above and beyond to look for this young man, it unfortunately fits the profile of the missing 411 victims ... this will at least brings the young man back to the family, and now know what became of him ... I feel for the family, may they get further answers in time ...
There’s been some talk about the Smiley Face Killers and Brendan Santos. A very good friend disappeared New Years Eve while we were all out celebrating in Chicago. He turned up in Lake Michigan on the Indiana side. It was very upsetting but there was talk of the Smiley Face Killers. Another one our friends is now an FBI Agent. He says there is now smiley face killers. I think there is something he is not saying.
@@turnoffmainstream - Why is he there alone? Where are his friends? This is why it's very important to keep an eye on your friends when go to party and drinking. Always have good friend to be with.
Respect to this investigator and his wife. The fact he worked alone on the scene day and night with that extreme weather just to give Brandon parents an answer is heartbreaking and admirable. Maybe without him this case would have been a cold case
He was just using the frozen river as a path. That is not unusual -- I have walked on that very river in that location myself -- but it was too early in the season to be doing it. The ice was not thick enough yet.
How did he go missing in the first place? How did he end up DEAD in the river? This video raises more questions about how he just simply disappeared and ended up in the river. I really don't see any type of closure in this case.
Handsome Brandon I'm so sorry for what happened to you you were too young to die who did this fibf the criminals asap and bring the monsters to justice Brendon honey p'ease rest in peace
I see so many cases where people are found in their cars under the water. How that happened ? I understand accidents happen, but so many cases . I wonder if some thoses cases are suicide.
Orange D • Brendan Santo, 18, was visiting friends at Michigan State University over Halloween weekend last year when he went missing, The police and investigators await the results of the autopsy and toxicology, it takes several weeks or even several months, depending on these results, the police and the investigators will consider the most likely scenario in which the events that led to the death of Brendan Santo occurred That is to say hypothesis, if the autopsy indicates homicide, they will consider who killed him, who he was with and why he was killed and they will question the friends he went to visit, on the other hand if the autopsy indicates, for example, drowning or natural death, it's more likely that the case will be closed as an accident or something similar R.I.P. Brendan Santo 🙏
This man put the work in, put it all together
and kept his promise.
A promise honored. A wonderful man and helping a family get answers and completion.
God bless this investigator's wife for urging her husband to take this case.
I wish "god" could of "blessed" Brendan." That would have been better.
@@Danny451 I wish you weren’t a bigot and respected peoples independent beliefs 🤷🏽♀️
@@leslien.552 Well I wish you weren't a bigot and respected my independent beliefs.
@@leslien.552 ditto to you
Bless this man , he helped this family find closer
*closure
What an incredible person to just keep going until he was found.What a wonderful person.Thank you for doing it .prayers to all involved.
Indeed a man of honor! He kept his word!
Sir, thank you for giving peace to this family
Thank you,Sir. You’re an honourable man.
People like this are so amazing! Opens my heart so much.. These are the types of people that deserve to be honored..
God bless Mr. Ryan Robinson, PI. A professional beyond measure. Peace and closure to Brendan Santo's father and mother.

Very sad story, well at least his family has closure now! Young man didn't get a chance to live, my deepest condolences to his family!.💙👑💙
It's closure. Not closer, stay in school don't be a fool
Not so! There is no closure because it raises more questions about how did he end up DEAD in the river?
Their is always special people for a special task…
Yes A-men 👏 🙌.. God truly 🙏 🙌 👏 ❤ do have his special people down here sometimes when you feel all hope is gone 🙏 RIP 🙏
Thank God for directing Private Investigater.
I wish "god" could have directed Brendan from harm.
Clearly there needs to a better strategy when searching in and around water. That one diver has solved how many cold cases now.
So devastating! He was such a good looking kid!!😪😪😪😪😪
What happen to him really....do we know ? Tq
@@shirleycameron7718 they can't tell for sure. They think it was an accident by falling in the lake

Rip beautiful young man 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😭 it’s so horrible to waste your life like this.
Idk seems weird that the police whom are "trained" weren't able to find him but this guy immediately did
No immediately!! Mr. Robinson searched during 14 days for Brendan Santo

RIP Brendan Santo 🙏🙏💐 prayers 4 his family & friends 🙏 may they find peace 😪
I’m gonna hire him if I ever need him godforbid
What an amazing private investigator, so glad he found that young man.
Amazing Dedication!

It just wasn't suppose to be this way ...
😞😓😩
That's what I said when they said my son died...
Life is just not fair 😞
How did he end up falling into the river? Was he drunk or on drug? Did someone push him??
@@503zzach I believe he was probably drunk and lost and fell in.

Apparently "god" didn't "bless" the family.
Another super hero!
Wow..a heart and a soul..amazing man
God bless this man kipp his promise 🌹🌹🌹🌹it’s so sad 😞 what a tragic and waste of young life 😞
What a hero! Police reports sure made it sound like they found his remains! Never heard this man's name mentioned!!!
Heartbreaking.💔🙏💔🙏💔🙏💔
Thank you to Ryan and his wife.🙏🏽
Damn he was a nice looking guy. RIP young man.
Respect to this investigator and his wife. The fact he worked alone on the scene day and night with that extreme weather just to give Brandon parents an answer is heartbreaking and admirable. Maybe without him this case would have been a cold case
Now THIS, THIS IS A HERO!!! 🙌🏾
Prayers 🙏 for the Family!
This man could find Bryce Borca exactly the same way !!
Background information on this story as to why their son was in that area along a riverbed?
He was just using the frozen river as a path. That is not unusual -- I have walked on that very river in that location myself -- but it was too early in the season to be doing it. The ice was not thick enough yet.
He is so attractive…and so young… heartbreaking. 😢 May he RIP ❤️❤️
Very sad
Sad.
RIP
What a beautiful man to fulfill this promise and help another father out. This was all GOD!
funny how the police couldn't find him but one guy did..
The police don't have time to do what this investigator did. Someone likely would have found him in the spring or summer.
Heroic.
God bless him 🙏
great detective
Ryan, you have a good heart!
The police are either incompetent or weren't really trying.
Another young man found in living water
So sad why is he dead why was he in that water I need to know so I only imagine how is family is going on xxxx
He broke through the ice.
🙏🏼😔
How did he go missing in the first place? How did he end up DEAD in the river?
This video raises more questions about how he just simply disappeared and ended up in the river.
I really don't see any type of closure in this case.
There are no difficult questions. He broke through the ice and drowned. He was intoxicated, so his judgment was impaired.
Imagine being searched for two months.
Such a handsome young man ... his life taken too soon ... 😢
How did he end up falling into the river? Was he drunk or on drug? Did someone push him??
Handsome Brandon I'm so sorry for what happened to you you were too young to die who did this fibf the criminals asap and bring the monsters to justice Brendon honey p'ease rest in peace
Strong will Brave thank you for finding Brandon and someday we will see him in heaven
Was this murder or suicide or just a freak accident?
You wonder they better do some serious investigating so called friends etc.
he drowning
This is gonna be made into a movie
I see so many cases where people are found in their cars under the water. How that happened ? I understand accidents happen, but so many cases . I wonder if some thoses cases are suicide.
There are a lot of similarities in this case to those of the "Smiley Face" killings that are happening across this country!!!!
