    As always an amazing effort from the entire team! Jared always says we give answers. Keep looking! Yesterday I had the honor of meeting Jacob and Lindsay from Chaos Divers and Britain from Depths of History! I told Jacob I got lost on the way and asked for directions at an auto parts store and they saw me wearing my AWP hoodie and I asked if I was a team member because they had been on the news. I said no, but when Jacob heard this he said you’re a part of our team! My heart grew 20 times larger! When I left they all smiled and waved to me! AWP really is everyone. What a wonderful group of people!

You guys are so cool, down to earth, and are just great people doing great things. I’m the pink haired girl who had to touch the iconic RV! Remember I told you that I stopped at an auto store because I got lost and they asked if I was part of the crew? I said no, but when I told you, you said I was part of the team! That meant a lot to me! Keep on diving! We’ll keep on backing you! It’s not worth it to stop!

      While it's the right thing to do to let them in ,this should be a lesson to private owned properties as well. While we all want to bring some sort of closure to the family and friends ,you need to protect yourself from liability.That corporation probably has deep pockets.
      So when one of the divers has an accident and either dies or is somehow injured and not able to provide for his family and children.A lawsuit is filed ,and under deposition you'll hear the corporation employee allowed an amateur dive team to be there.
      That's an easy 10M or more settlement that corps insurance will deny.
      Will that likely happen ? Probably not.But I wouldn't want the liability .
      Keep up the great work

      I guess it will be very difficult, not only liability/insurance issues but it could also attract (bad) publicity - headline: body found on Willy Wonka's property -,
      a crime scene can appear so maybe operations must be halted for a while, some (bad) practices that can attract internal and external auditors.
      They chosen (sadly but kinda understandable) the easy and safe way out.
      It would be nice if a top shot was confident in his company and provide all the support to make it happen. Just for the family and local community.

      That’s a reach considering any big company would want protection against liability. He probably thought he was meeting with someone tied to the police department and when he found out they weren’t, he had rules to follow. That seems more logical, especially considering it will all be on camera. He may have been more likely to break rules if it was a private thing.

This is a person whose family needs answers and to bring their loved one home, and that should trump property every time. I get the sense, though, as others have pointed out, that these folks have something else to hide not related to this case, but related to that body of water. Otherwise they would've simply had them sign a waiver, and perhaps something stating that they accept any damages incurred to property in the process of the search.

A lot of these cases went unsolved. It was just too much water to cover. It was the hardest part of the job either notifying the family that we’ve recovered their loved one or telling them we’ve exhausted all the leads and we can’t give them closure.

    I think the change in Ian's demeanor could certainly be that the way the message was given to him by dispatch is that someone went missing TODAY and law enforcement wanted to check there. He was willing to work with law enforcement on a fresh missing persons case, which is great. When he heard it is an old case and he found you weren't law enforcement, I think that's the difference. Law enforcement couldn't hold his company liable for any issues that happen to them, but private citizens could. It's reasonable - unfortunate, but understandable. Hopefully you can call them ahead of your next trip to the area to give them time to prepare whatever they need to give you permission.

    Actually, to all who disagree with the MMarrietta rules, this is standard procedure in an active a deactivated mining operations. These operations fall under strict Federal and state guidelines. I have been in the industry for 23 years, and am pretty sure the employee would have lost his job and also brought Federal and state inspectors to the mine. This would end up in major fines and possible loss of permits, to the mine owners.

    Whilst watching this case about Mr Pottinger, you spoke to a gentleman called Ian. I don’t know if it was just me but when you said that if you do find anything pertinent to the case that it then becomes a crime scene is when I feel like his whole attitude changed towards your reason for asking for access. It’s so frustrating but from a corporate point nod view understandably necessary to cover everyone.
    Please keep on doing what you are doing. You are all heroes xx

Hopefully, local PD can clear all the hurdles when you make it back next time. Please keep us updated on this one in the near future & thank you all once again for everything you do for the families of the missing. You truly are ANGELS. Lots of love from Baltimore.

It’s sad that he wasn’t found, but there is always hope for the next time you search. At least, you know where he is not. My thoughts & prayers go out to the family. Thank you to Jared, Doug, Jacob, Lindsey, Josh and Carson!!! In one part of this video we saw the close up of little white & yellow flowers, I was thinking, I wonder if Josh took that?

The place is a corporate owned facility that has rules and requirements to follow. Is this guy gonna risk his job by not having them go through with the paperwork and risk them getting hurt? Yes the AWP team is professionals, Yes the chances of them getting hurt are very slim. The chance is still there though and they dont want the liability of that without the proper agreements in place. Not everything is a conspiracy and i hope that in future videos they tone down the conspiracy rhetoric and go with the more likely situations.

      Although I agree not everything is a “conspiracy” however I can’t figure out why even the whisper of the possibility of a real conspiracy triggers people. The only way to “tone down” the conspiracy rhetoric in this video is to cut out the whopping 2 minutes they spoke of anything that could be interpreted as conspiracy related that’s the only part. So what I think you really mean is there are no real conspiracies ever and how dare someone even consider the possibilities.
      It has to be the constant vilification of anyone who goes against the mainstream narrative that has created what I see as yet another way to maintain lies. They’ve convinced many to ostracize, bully, ignore, and even cut people out of their lives for believing the truth is being hidden about some things.
