In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we are truly humbled in the experience of finding 22-year-old Ethan Kazmerzak, in Hampton, Iowa.
Ethan went missing on September 15, 2013, just north of his hometown late one night after a party at a local quarry.
Ethan tried calling his mother from his cell phone at 12:15 am where his phone was last pinged at the corner of 190th and Olive, just a few hundred yards from where he was last seen at a party that night.
Ethan nor his VW Jetta has been seen since...
We returned to Hampton, Iowa a month after our first search aired on RUclips on October 2, 2020, after receiving new information from one of our viewers.
After just 30 minutes on the water with sonar, we identified a car underwater.
Within the hour we dove on the car, identified the car and license plate as a match to Ethan's car.
The Sheriff and Local Police Chief were contacted, meeting us at the quarry.
Location where we found Ethan's car.
42.808763, -93.232556
The windows were up on the car and as such, we could not confirm if Ethan was inside the car underwater.
Because of agency protocol, the Sheriff had a police dive team arriver the next morning to document and recovery Ethan's car from underwater.
When the VW Jetta was removed from the water, it was confirmed that remains were in the back seat.
Ethan's parents were on the scene, but we respected their privacy and did not speak with them as this is a hard time for their family.
It has since been confirmed by the coroner that the remains were those of Ethan.
How did Ethan and his car end up in the quarry?
We are told that foul play is not believed.
Was this a late-night accident or something else?
Where’s the $100,000 REWARD??
===================
We would be honored to accept the $100,000 Reward so we can further our efforts in helping other families like Ethan's.
However, the $100,000 Reward which has been renewed annually every September at the anniversary of Ethan missing, and extended yearly beyond its original 2015 effective date, is suddenly no longer available from the anonymous donors claiming the reward expired in 2015 even though it has been confirmed by multiple News Stations as late as September 2020 that the reward was still in effect.
In full transparency, Ethan's family was kind in making a donation of their own. We appreciate their gratitude for our efforts in bringing Ethan home.
Donations and rewards are how we are able to fund our operations in helping families such as Ethan's.
===================
Hug the ones you love and reach out to those in need.
We are humbled and thankful for this opportunity and experience to bring answers for Ethan's family along with the entire community of Franklin County, Iowa.

Whoever the viewer is who told them that they were at the wrong pond and led them to the right one is a legend.
Tanner is his name. We thank him. The community thanks him. The family thanks him. Thank you Tanner.
@@AdventuresWithPurpose Yeah, thank you Tanner. What a legend that guy is!🙏
Thank you Tanner!
Yes tanner good man
Thank you Tanner!
I'm pleasantly shocked the police and land owner were open to having the land searched again. Sadly, I'm also shocked the reward was "expired". Shameful.
it's called a fake reward
That sounds shady to me how convenient when the poor guy is found sorry nope no money 💰💰💰💰💰 available
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. That’s awful. These guys go above and beyond, if that was my son found; better believe these two men would be walking away with some sort of gratuity in the form of money. They don’t make em like these guys and the second you take them for granted is the day they’ll be gone and everyone’s left with answers
That is a huge lack of integrity on the part of the "donors" to claim the reward has expired after Ethan was found even though the reward was renewed in 2020. If a reward is going to be offered it needs to be paid out when the person is found.
@@auntkaz422 right how convenient luckily for them Jared and Sam r so nice
I’m assuming the phone call to the family started with “we found Ethan” not “they found Ethan” great job documenting the credit you guys deserved on this one.
Of course bc they wanted to take credit for finding him bc they looked in the wrong place and didn’t bother to look over in this place or over looked it. I used to trust the police but after my daughter that trust is gone. Jared and his team found him bc they cared.
@@dinacoleman159what happened with your daughter? - if you don't mind me asking.. I hope nothing bad, sincerely xx
I'm a underwater recovery driver myself
@@dinacoleman159 You were listening in on the conversation? Amazing!
Yes i caught that too .
Just a minor observation. I get confused with the licence plate, the Missing Persons Poster at 1:04 indicates it would read AUZ 382. That's what I read at 11:40 under water as well. Nevertheless everyone refers to it as AUZ 387 numerous times. In a serious matter like this I am surprised nobody ever raised that mismatch during the process.
i saw the same thing and said the same thing as well.
I seen the same thing, came to the comments to see if I was the only one.
The plate is AUZ 382, you can see it on the video, he just reads it wrong at the time.
Definitely a 2 not a 7.
Also his surname was written as Kazmarak on the news story rather than kazmerzak. Details being wrong like that I find disrespectful.
Support people like this. Not celebrities and “influencers”.
Yes!!!!!!
Well said.
Putting in the work.
Fax
While they are doing a good thing that is very appreciative . I relate to my "influencers" more
The amount of people found in water terrifies me and breaks my heart. Like how many lakes, rivers, etc have I driven by and taken photos of and there was someone just waiting to be found in the water
I swim in lakes a lot and now it makes me think
@@laurenhills239 swimming in microscopic pieces of human body
Missing 411 has a lot research about missing people being found in bodies of water mysteriously.
@@tokyoto1 & when I was a little kid I would drink lake water
Seems that way
Other agencies just can’t take it can they. Instead of being so appreciative, they feel threatened. It’s unbelievable. You guys are so classy and respectful. As always, great job. 🖤
I can believe how buthurt and childish they were … it had nothing to do with protocol or investigation- this behaviour was solely ego driven - also I bet you the owner of the land was about to pull some sh*** if they hadn’t already discovered the car right then & there.
You were treated appallingly by these buffoons! How could they have missed the car in previous searches in 8ft of water, it should have been obvious and they also dived in the lake. As for the reward I don't know what the conditions were but crazy to dangle a $100k carrot with no intention of paying out.
@@4legs4paws55what did these people gain by being jerks, ok so some one else found the car and young man. He is FOUND and going HOME.
@@4legs4paws55 the car is evidence, and it could be a crime scene... no one really knows what has happened... if something goes wrong and it is the fault of a civilian that civilian could be arrested for disturbing a crime scene.... it is the law.
Also.. as the officer said, they rather not have to subpoena them in case of foul play and they'd have to testify in court.
At the moment there's a crime scene, the police is responsible of it.. if they let a civilian without any legal qualification handle it, they will be liable for anything...
Also... it would be grounds for any dismissal of evidence as the state can not without a doubt say that the evidence has been tampered with...
It's all pretty logical imo
@@whoknows8225Best comment!
I've been an AWP member for a couple of months now, and I can't tell you how impressed I am with everyone involved with AWP. I am a gay old man living in a nursing home, but feel if even I was underwater, you'd look for me. God bless all of you.
They sure as hell would mate. 👍👏🙏
Hope you are doing well Anthony
Hey Anthony, how ya doing?
Aww Anthony bless you I’m sure you are such a beautiful person 🫂
They would look for you💜 we all would!
Wow. My sister just sent me this video. Ethan is our second cousin (our grandma’s, brothers’s grandson). Thank you for helping solve this. My sister said she had continuously checked over the years for an answer but then this video randomly popped up for her today on a site she follows. It’s definitely a sad day but definitely good for his family to have some closure. Thank you for making this video tastefully and thank you for your help!
So sorry to you and your family for the loss of your loved one, Ethan.
So sorry for your Loss!
I am so so sorry for your families loss. My condolences and big hugs to everyone in his family and friends.
condolences.
im sorry for your family lost may his soul rest in piece this scuba diver man has solve any missing people and found it underwater im so proud at the scuba diver man i dream to be like him at future helping people to solve there missing family keep it up scuba diver man one day i will be like you 🙂
I see this video has hit the youtube algorithm so ill give you guys this: If you ever find yourself in a similar situation do this. Don't panic, the car will float for a minute or two, first remove your seatbelt, then try to open the window, if the window does not open get any sharp item (you can remove your headrest) and break the window, if there are no sharp objects you can use you can break the window with your elbow. If you can't break the window wait for the car to fully fill up with water, take a deep breath right before the car fully fills up, now the pressure inside the car is the same as outside and you can open your door after which you can swim to the surface safely.
Yes, good instructions. However, hitting the water in your car is like hitting a wall, and the chances you will be conscious to do these lifesaving manuvers, are slim to none.
****DONT use your elbow. Use your seatbelt buckle clip instead
They make two in one tools that break widows and cut you out of your seat
@@spookygasman5162 Shatter proof glass: won't work unless you have a glass breaking tool. But chances are you will not be conscious to use them.
@@faithm9284 That's absolutely false unless your the personal driver of the president. I've done it twice, once by myself in a river and once for a drunk friend in a lake.
The chief was embarrassed that a team of out of state divers came in and found what they failed to. He couldn't allow y'all to be involved in the recovery because that would have made them look bad. I wish you guys worked at the federal level so that your presence and work trumps all. God bless you and all that you do🙏🏾
this is my hometown, the police here have always been bs. they are lazy. it is really shameful.
who ever edits these needs a raise. those transitions of the diver coming out of the water and then him walking away are amazing
After serving 25 yrs doing search and rescue, body recovery is so important for putting closure for the love ones. I hope you continue doing this service. great job.
Thank you for your service ❤️
Seeing you guys get choked up over finding Ethans car is a total gut punch. Thank you for the work you all do.
I live not terribly far from Hampton and Ethan’s case haunted me for so many years. I knew he had to be in one of the ponds. I am so very thankful you came to find Ethan. What a blessing to so many families of all of the loved ones you have located. Thank you so much for your purpose!
This is a weird one, How did a car get into a dam so far away from a road. The car is undamaged and Ethan dissapeard in a mysterious way. Sad there is games going on with the $10000 reward. These guys deserve the reward because there is little or no income on RUclips these days. I don't understand how they can afford to do these amazing body recoveries
Some cars (not all) can float as far as 100 feet
Look at the Susan Smith car. It was a ways away from the shore.
Also, was it just me or did the deputy say he was in the backseat??
@@shyannmckim3093 Nope,.we.all heard it. That is very suspicious. There's waaaay more to this story!
@@queenof2kings299 I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks that.
It just doesn’t make sense…even if he was trying to get out…why would he crawl into the backseat?
@@shyannmckim3093 My exact thoughts. Part of me wants to look up his name and see if anything comes up
This is way better than Netflix documentarys. Rip Ethan
Will be awesome if netflix host a show in this format one day
U could email Netflix and pitch the idea
@@tcavelino1 YEESSSSSSSS
I’ve seen so many cars get pulled of out lakes with someone still in the drivers seat or the back seat trying to escape. wtf.. do people just fall asleep at the wheel while driving or something? And most of them are a missing persons case from 5+ years ago, idk man just weird how they go missing and unnoticed for so long, it’s also weird how you sink your whole car into a lake or pond and just sit there? or get stuck? i don’t get it. just imagine all the cars down there with people in them, i know there’s more then this, in all the lakes, eeeh i’m no longer swimming,
@@creamythroat Covid saved us from going missing lol we can’t go nowhere
I have just found out about you guys here from Switzerland. What you do is so incredibly helpful to ease pain and bring answers to those families that grieve for so long. Thank you so much. There should definitely be teams like you all around the world.
Welcome to the AWP family !
idem pour moi je suis français , j'habite en Grèce et j'adore cette chaîne. respect a AWP
I've been following the case of Kiely Rodni and found your amazing team. I live in Northern Ireland, so word of the brilliant work you do is getting out there. Giving families and friends closure, enabling them to lay their loved ones to rest must be rewarding. May God bless and guide your team, keeping you all safe while you do your invaluable service. Many thanks
Today is the nine year anniversary of my husband’s drowning while ice fishing took eight long days to find him. Bless you for the work you do , giving this family closure.
Oh no Leanne. So sorry to hear about your husband. Heartbreaking for families waiting for answers. I'm glad they were able to find him in such short time.
Very sorry to hear that! I lost my fiance of 10 yrs 8 yrs ago and its still very hard to deal with!
@@mistysummer3859 I’m sorry for your loss. It leaves a void. My family is and always have been my rocks❤️
I’m so sorry, that’s heartbreaking. Hugs to you Leanne.
@@karencaddle7288 thank you 🙏
After what I went through with my brother and having to hire a team to find his body in the river because our cops wouldn't, I appreciate what you guys do more then you'll ever know.
Wow! That’s so sickening and ridiculous. Crazy that there could be even a small loophole for something like that.
I'm so sorry you had to go through the loss of your brother and for law enforcement for not helping. I hope you are doing better nowadays and I am glad you got to find your brother.❤
I'm so sorry for your loss❤
Sorry for your loss
Jason long?
It would be good to do an episode about the final outcome of these cases. Was it an accident, a suicide or murder? What did the autopsy show? You could even go into each victim and their lives leading up to the day of their death. Just some suggestions but you guys are doing a great job.
To be fair that's not really their business to be putting out there. They find the people but that doesn't mean that the families wish to share details and things like that. Presumably there's an autopsy and if it escalates thats not our business to know, only the familys.
There are plenty of other channels that have covered these cases in detail
I agree!
I was curious as well, but I don't think the outcome of this one is public. Try googling it. There's no answers anywhere. Very strange.
@@rylanrussell9595 wow. How odd! Definitely something weird with this whole case.
i really liked the 'mood' in this video! the sunny weather, the cooperative sheriff, your demeanor, the music - it was so uplifting. it culminated in a overall sense of relief and quiet gladness that this case was solved and the family could finally have ethan back. i'd take that over suspence and horror anytime. well done!!
Kudos to the sheriff. Excellent example of a public servant. He had no issue acknowledging they had searched there but missed it. That’s a hard own, but he owned it and didn’t try to make excuses. Very professional.
What's even better the sheriff didn't pay the reward because he said it expired 😂
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 idk if it’s actually his call. Could be his higher ups and he doesn’t have the authority to make that call
@@emily.g.929 from what I read and herd he was upset these guys made the sheriff look like fools and liars...tbh they kinda are but regardless he had a heavy hand in the decision. Btw have you ever herd of a reward expiring 6 months later for a missing person?
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 The reward wasn't put up by the sheriff you dolt.
@@ghostsof6tharmy644 A reward should never expire as long as the person is still missing.
Did someone noticed that the las number was 2 instead of 7 ?
Ya saw the same thing😄😭
Yes
Me
yeh deffo 2
Right
All of these recovery rescues really hit home with me. I live in Monroe, Michigan. A friend of the family had a daughter named, Ella, who would play and hang out with my granddaughter. Fast forward, both girls have grown and went their separate ways. Ella had an accident in one of our nearby waterways and her car was jammed between (poles?). That’s unknown to me. I do know underwater divers eventually recovered Ella and her vehicle within 48 hours. Keep doing what you’re doing. I am a supporter, but not a very big one, as my income is limited. I hope somewhere in the future I can help much more, whether in clues or cash support or even buying your merchandise. Love what you all do. ❤️
For the last 2 weeks I've been watching Adventures with Purpose videos, this one is by far the most touching video I've see. Never seen Jared get that emotional over a find. Congrats to all your crew for what you do, and what you do for the family's of the lost. Please don't stop what you do, you all are totally amazing.
I like how respectful they are. They just want to help. Asking for permission to go on property and respectful to the families. Keep up the good work boys.
They are respectful your not wrong and they are also really good people that the world needs more of and in every country, but if they do not ask permission its call trespassing and if the owners there they can shoot them or start and case on them or they could even go to jail they have to ask they ask for the safety of them and to make sher they have themselves legally ok like nothing can turn on them. In any cercomstacs you should ask anyways but yea happy new year.
They’re professionals and realize the police have protocols to follow
@@guysmalley m
I see your point but as much as they were filming a show, I'm sure his family is glad that THEY found their child.Noone else.
Almost 33 years ago we found a car at the beach access at a local lake. We reported it to the police and waited for their arrival to be able to give them the location of the car. The car belonged to a soldier who had been missing for a couple of years and his body was recovered in the car. Foul play was suspected but that case was never solved. I’m just glad the family received some sort of closure. Prayers for Ethans family.
That was the first place the police went/searched, and they still missed Ethans car?! RIP Ethan & enjoy eternity! Thank you AWP for bringing Ethan home!
These guys should get some world class awards for what they’re doing.
Ummm
It's refreshing to see a town's sheriff without ego, he just want a closure for the family.
I agree! VERY VERY VRRY RARE! Very evident in MOST of these amazing videos!
Even when this guy puts him at risk standing next to him with no mask
@@theysaidnewzealand ohh shut up with that already! The COVID vaccine is here.
I think it's just a misconception from all the movies with the police captain who's arrogant and egoistic. I don't think that's what happens in real life. Atleast most of them anyway.
Not every sheriff is from the TV...
As a professional in the criminal justice system (not a police officer), I always emphasize with my fellow investigative partners that there's no room for ego when you're trying to save or change lives. No need to be annoyed if you aren't "getting the glory" or breaking the case. The outcome is all that matters.
But this is not the case on this video. You can tell this guys body language and demeanor.
But why do they do it? Like everyone should b happy that a case was solve.
Good on you. Respect.
Awesome Attitude & well said. Thank You:)
@@MsZelda nobody likes to be a failure. And a lot of people are going to question why they didn't find him before
I just don’t understand why so many of the times not a soul from the recoveries family isn’t involved I’d be shouting my gratitude from the rooftops it’s so heartbreaking and makes me even more grateful that at least these souls have complete strangers who care and find them worth it
I cry, every f-ing time. A 41 year old man. But tears of joy. Crying for and about positive outcomes, cleanses the heart, soul and spirit. ♥️ You guys.😢
Don't beat yourself up for crying or feeling emotional. This is a huge thing, I feel like many of us feel the same emotional response that you did. There's absolutely nothing wrong with feeling that way
You guys are proof to me it's possible to love people you've never met. I love what you're doing. It's sacred work.
I think we’re all capable of it. Loving each other. We so rarely see it, because nasty news stories are more productive. Ridiculous, isn’t it?
@@pommiebears 🥰
bears so so true 🤗 my sister in laws son was found in her car in the Yakin River only miles from her home by these guys, they are truly God sent🙏
May God bless you all! What you all do is awesome!
@@maryshoemaker1334 was that the 17 year old. So sorry to hear
He shows emotion for a man hes never met and cries after he realizes hes found a missing person, that speaks volumes about him.
Thanks for the attention!!
or he is being manipulative and making a show for the camera....
Lol you can hear it in his voice, he can hardly speak on the brink of tears
@@terryglover6442 Im just saying some people can be manipulative like that. Im especially worried because he asks for donations. People tugging at your heart strings one minute and then asking for money the next send up red flags for me.
@@snarkymcsnarkles3493 he couldn't travel the country bringing closure to countless families without help from his viewers, he also makes it clear that if it wasn't for his viewers he wouldn't be in the spot hes at now
@@terryglover6442 so what you are saying is he has incentive to act the way he does. Im not outright accusing him of anything, but dont be gullible or naive either. There seems to be a common theme in all his videos. Money is involved somehow. This feels like treasure hunters posing as humanitarians
I love what you’re doing, cleaning the environment and in the process, finding individuals who were missing for years. Keep it up. We need people like you!
Thanks! I realize my donation seems small but times are hard for most, and I myself is no exception.
I am blessed to be able to follow this group and to be able to see these heart wreching videos. This video is a very touching one, to see Jared and Sam choke up on finding Ethan after all this time. Even though he may have felt he needed to end things there, I am sure that he hoped that someone would find him so his parents can bring him home and lay him to rest.
It may be of comfort that they have found the body that once held his soul and can now let his soul rest peacefully. However, the way that they dismissed AWP as if they aren't welcome anymore, and that the team of people that should have found him just as easily as Jared and Sam has, now want to swoop in and take the credit for the find and recovery
I feel these two men deserve to be apart of bringing Ethan out of that cold water so his family can now have some closure, and for these two guys to know that he is recovered in a manner that is dignified and respected.

Hey, if you have 100$, that's 2% of your total money you have. If someone with 1 million gave 2%, that's 20k
They have *millions* of views just on this video. If even half gave what you did it would be life changing!
Such a sad ending to the story but at least the family now has peace of mind for what it helps Rest In Peace Ethan
I think he was in the car or his skeleton
Absolutely
@@GoatedAimz He was it said there was a body when they got the car out the water
It was a lie
Man that is hart braking
I read that after this recovery, the offered $100K reward was not paid out. I know a bit about this topic, and can tell you that this happens more often than not when rewards are offered to solve a crime. They find loopholes/excuses not to pay, or simply refuse. It is sleazy and infuriating.
Also maybe this type of “rewards” are more like a bait for people who knows something
Or maybe they didn't want the reward I've seen some of the videos where the police officers and people like that are trying to give them money for their efforts when time they drove across country and they did all of it free of charge and they kept telling the police officer we don't want any money and they said well you're probably going to receive something and they didn't want it so maybe they got offered the money but they don't want it they do this out of the goodness of Their Own Heart and a part of Mercy donations and stuff to keep their company going or like a lot of people think maybe they didn't get offered the reward but honestly I don't think it would matter either way with them they weren't there for the reward money they were there to help a family find their loved one
This is shameful ,, what a way to fuck a person out of money , who really didn't start this bisness to ge6y rich , They care about bringing people home , giving the family peace of mind..
John may I ask. How did you come to have experience woth reqard money info ??? If I may ask were you screwed out of money after solving a cold case?? Did you know someone that this very exact scenario played out ????
@@jesusalc1421 good point didn't think of it like that
Thanks to all you guys do. God bless you!
I have been binge watching you guys since you found Kiely. I love what you do for these lost souls. The humanity you show is phenomenal. I love that you all are man enough to show true emotion. Thank you.
Wish all the sheriff's were as nice as this one was.
I have been the Fire Chief of our department here in Florida and I have run into all kinds. Usually they are good but sometimes you run into the ones like AWP did a few months ago that think they are "all that" and treat people as being below them. A few times the companies and I have run into jerks and everyone has said lets just roll it up and head back to the house and let them figure it out themselves. Wanted to but never did when you get one like that you just do your job and get gone
Thats iowa
Yea iowa sheriffs are poggers. And I’m not just saying that because I’m from Iowa
It’s Iowa. Every sheriff is nice
**NOTE** if your car ever goes into water.....pull the headrest off your seat it has two big steel rods. Swing them into the glass to break out a side or back window
The front windscreen was out and Ethan was in the back seat, which makes me ask, did someone else smash out of there and leave him down there?
@@praeliora Damn thats fucking crazy to think about!!!! Mayby he was drunk and the rest of his friends just abandon him in the car. I really think that he was not alone in the car.
@@salmanjamil5349 Plus the tip about the Google image was off...
Someone commented that they had checked and the images available were taken a year before the car went down.. they also told them that they were searching the wrong pond...So that person must have known he was down there.
@@praeliora Damn thats freaking me out!! The owners of this channel needs to see what you wrote !!!!!
@@salmanjamil5349 I'm sure they see all of the comments, I agree it seems freaky, but there appears to be too many anomalies to be a straight up accident and no one knows what happened..
This is good, and as someone that is former law enforcement I love that you respect the family and law enforcement. You've inspired someone to think about doing something similar. It's frustrating the anonymous 'donor' decided to resend the donation.
The heartache and pain these families must be experiencing.
Thank you for everything you do.
The reward for finding this young man should be given to these guys. The look on that man's face when he discovered the car on his screen. Broke my heart.
The family of Ethan made a donation to them for their gratitude for finding their son.
Props to you guys for pointing out that it wasn't the fault of the local cops for not finding it when they searched the pond. Anyone who has worked with sonar knows luck is just as important as skill.
But it didn’t stop their prides from acting like complete assholes saying “stay away from our investigation” ....”we have Ethan’s car” HE SAID “ok”
@@lizlizzylizard I don’t see the problem with him saying “Ok”, he’s just acknowledging what he’s saying.
@@lizlizzylizard If you are ever involved in a crime scene in any way you'd know that people have a tendency to not listen and to potentially completely fuck up an investigation. One mistake and, in the event it's homicide, you lose vital evidence or give the perp a chance to walk.
Its a given that they want to be sure no one messes with anything.
What causes inaccuracies? Currents? Dirt? Problems with the receiving electronics?
The wong licenceplate got confirmed tho... so how can u be so sure that this is real?
I like how respectful you are with everyone involved. I love what you do for the famillies.
it’s inspiring to see you guys be so kind, caring, and compassionate about what you do from start to finish. taking care of the families and giving the utmost respect to the deceased. what you’re doing for the world and these people is priceless and we need more good souls like you all

Think he read it wrong the water was murky after all and the car was covered in dirt etc. But yes it’s definitely AUZ 382

@Womb Raider you're so funny bro 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
@Womb Raider Bro, what?
@Womb Raider lol what???
@Womb Raider ummmm-
@Womb Raider God you must be lonely
This is the way the police should interact with professionals.
Seven long grueling years Ethan's family has been waiting for this day, I think the people who were looking for this man and his vehicle were told the wrong place deliberately, because this was a way to cover up their trail, it spells murder!!!, this is a murder scene!!
This is the way most police interact with professionals...
@@kylieshepherd4815 yep grew up in Des Moines.... I miss it...
Good luck and God Bless ya all
Be safe
I have been watching y’all for a long while. And I get choked up and shed a few tears for every one you have found and their families. Thank you so very very much. Y’all are warriors of God to be able to do this. I am sure it is emotionally/mentally exhausting every time you find a missing person and at the same time relief that the family has resolution. I am sure you think of your family and your children and would not want them in that position. I know y’all been through so tough crap the last year or two and I never wavered from being your fan!!! The past is the past thats why it’s called past!! I am so glad you are still doing this and I am always grateful to get the notification for a new video and dive. Thank you all the whole team!!! Blessed Be and stay safe 💜💚🧡🖤🩵❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Crazy looking at this compared to newer videos where police almost expect you guys to do the extraction, keep up the good work.
The look on your faces when you realize you may have found the car. It says it all.
The respect you guys have for the the families and the people you recover is so evident.
*If you ever find yourself in this situation, immediately roll your windows down and unlock your doors. When a vehicle is submerged in water it takes less than one minute for water to flood up to your neck and you will drown because you will not be able to open the door or windows after the water has gotten in. This happened to me in Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey and fortunately I knew about that possibility. As I was trying to drive my nephew's Jeep to higher ground I unintentionally hit a dip in the road that I was not aware of. The Jeep grounded to a halt and immediately stalled. A few seconds later the water was touching my chin. Because I opened the windows in advance I was able to easily open the door and escape. I thank God that I knew to do that otherwise I would have died that night. 🙏👑🕊️*
A car full of water will allow the doors to open easily. If you try to open the doors before it will be almost impossible. There was a whole mythbusters about it.
If the windows were down, couldn't u just swim out the window? Just asking cause idk how these things work.
@@candycakes3886 If they were electronically controlled windows, probably not
@@GummyDinosaursify but they said that they opened the windows in advance so, couldn't they just swim out the window? Or is the pressure from the water pouring in too strong? Idk why I don't understand...just dumb when it comes to this I guess. Thanks and sorry to bother u.❤️😔
Sorry that happened to u and I'm glad u are okay🙏🏽❤️
Unbelievable that the reward was not given and this is why people are so untrusting! DO NOT offer rewards, if they can not be fulfilled! This is one reason people don’t help because of the deceit that comes along with it! So incredibly sad, Rest In Peace Ethan! Thankfully AWP brought you home and closure to your family and friends!😔
The posted $100K reward was not paid out due to various reasons by different agencies and contributors. The Kazmerzak family reached out privately to AWP to acknowledge their efforts and made a family donation to AWP to continue doing what they do giving answers to families where there were none before.
I live an hour from Hampton and I never heard AWP found Ethan. I found you guys through the Kiely Rodni case and it was then my daughter told me you guys found Ethan! I am a member and a devoted fan of AWP, the work you do, your genuine care for the families, your respect for the deceased. Really admire you all and have been praying for you all since I found your channel. Also appreciate your videos because I think its safe to say most people would have no idea what you guys do with out them. Stay safe.
Sadly some of the local authorities seem a little Salty they didn't find him, but Thank God you guys did! I imagine it can be tough dealing with some egos, its beautiful you guys remain cooperative and humble!
That part!
I thought that too, it’s not about who found him it’s about the fact that he was found!
Salty is putting it mildly. The wages and benefits these public servants receive are no joke not to mention the catastrophic bereavement for the families who are FORCED to rely on their opinions and expertise(?).
The minutes they throw salt the public will throw fire.
Count on it.
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking
That dude was definitely not laughing when he made the amateur joke.
Even tho I know hes deceased it makes me sad that he was in that car underwater in the cold and the dark all by hinself for years before being found. I know its irrational but its the way I feel.
It's not really irrational to me. Having lost my baby sister to a drowning accident, I understand what you're saying.
The life of an Empath. I feel ya
Death is only sad and horrific for the living coz the dead know nothing! Death is like a dreamless sleep!
I feel the same way. I'm thankful his family now has a resolution though.
@@danchiengchiengi8581 sleep doesn't have anything to do with it, you're dead, end of story
Well done guys for saving a family from a lifetime of not knowing what happened to poor Ethan.
For true.
You guys are the best RUclips channel to date, giving families both answers and/or closure, you show dignity to the deceased, you obviously respect law enforcement, and best of all cleaning the environment. love you, love your work,love your channel. To all of you not a thank you is really needed. I will say as a saying: love is hope and hope is love❤
I was in highschool when Ethan went missing only about 30 minutes away from where I lived and looked very similar to him (or at least the pictures used in his missing person posters). I was consistently confused with him multiple times and approached by the police many times about it, including 1 time I forgot my ID and that was a whole mess. Hard to believe this was 7 years ago already, RIP Ethan.
Oh my. That's terrible but many have look- alikes and only communication or dna tests can show the truth. Sorry to hear that this happened to you.
Wow. Doppelgängers can get you in serious trouble. My dad is constantly mistaken for people, and he’s just waiting for the day.
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e maybe he can wear eyeglasses with a crazy frame shape or color to distract attention away from his real appearance. Some cousins dont know all of their distant cousins or half-brothers and sisters but they resemble each other and you meet strangers who can be upset with you.
Was I the only one who kept seeing a 2 instead of a 7? I was confused as to why he was saying 7 again and again. This was one of the most unbelievable things I have ever seen. God bless these men for what they do!!
I kept seeing a 2 as well.
Yes....2
Yea
It was a 2
Yes 2
i love how true you're emotions are it's very heart warming to see that there's people who still care to continue searching and finding missing people when others stop
You guys are amazing for what you do! It warms my heart to know that there are people out there that do care and don't give up. Thank you for all that you do.
This popped up in my recommended, this just proves that there are still good people left in this world full of evil.
$100k reward, got an anonymous tip on the location, had the equipments, easy money for them. Go there confirm it's the car, get reward, a family gets closure, win/win.
There are evil and good people on this earth. Only you hear of the bad on the news. They mostly dont show good cause it doesn't get clicks. But somtimes bad people do good even. Rare but it happens. I broke down one day and a guy game me a ride to the parts store and back late at night, went above and beyond. Found out 4 years alter he was a pimp and a drug dealer yet he whent above and beyond. Not saying he was a good guy but didnt stop him from doing a good deed. Knowing that though i would have rather not been any where near him lol

@@chickensfloat7427 that’s a really good example.
@@xsizzlexster6495 The reward was "expired"
imagine how the viewer who pointed that out feels... they found this boy.
what of that viewer was the suspect
@@SharkButtholio woah it’s creepy to think about, like they were probably having that guilt on their mind and just had to say something
Exactly! And how did he appeared on the back seat of the car was his? I don't understand
@@cintiapaiva2302 maybe trying to break the back window but couldn't
@@user-ph2wc1rz2n yea maybe, that makes sense
It's unbelievable how law enforcement just swoops in like they made the find ...it angers me when they brush off AWP ...if it wasn't for them families would still not have answers. Unbelievable amount or immature behavior on law enforcement!!!
There is process and protocol that has to be followed. People who know, understand.
I get that! But, to not say it was because of AWP that found the target vehicle is disrespectful!
always wanting the glory for their hard work. humiliated because they do a better job than them.
It’s a MURDER case. Remember how OJ got off. And for God’s sake, law enforcement can’t collect on rewards.
@@thebanned2807the sheriff in this video, not ONE time behaved in any way other than professionally. So, either you're talking about somebody else in the video, or you're actually as dense and dull as you appear. Also, the police dont get a fuckin reward for finding corpses, whether or not they themselves found it, or had an assist from the public. So your ridiculous "Sheriff stole the reward and acted like a major d bag" comment is absolutely mind bogglingly special.
You ain't playing with a full deck of cards are you bud?
This is why I love watching you two. You really feel the families pain 😢
Broke my heart seeing the two lads tear up in the boat. And the "love you bro" through the knot in his throat... I'm sure doing this makes you love and appreciate your friends and family even more.
same here bro but can u help me find where they said it bc i losy it
@@dumdum4100 @9:09
“Thanks”
Can't believe it took 7 years to find it, especially when that's where the party was. Was everyone so drunk they didn't notice? That was a 2, not a 7.
Definitely saw a 2.. I thought someone would correct it later on but the sheriff's office is clearly lazy
Nah it’s a 2 bruh
That's what I thought also......
I saw it was a 2 as well
Yes I saw a
2.
These guys give so much of their time. They deserve all the credit.❤️🙏
I know I should not be upset but it was a bit crappy you were told “go back to the rd” AWP has an amazing soul and are a truly classy bunch of folks! Bless you all ♥️🙏🏻
Breaks my heart that the sheriff said "this is the first place we checked" and it took 7 years to get back and actually find him. Could have had closure for the family 7 years ago and not agony
Why was it the first place they checked though?
@@jessicaphillips4542 the sheriff confirmed at the start of the vid that it was near the place of where they actual party was located so they knew it was a place of interest ☺️
Can't find anything when ya scuba dive with a facemask snorkel flippers and no real desire to go above and beyond.
Myra’s amazing… that all these “saves” seem very off the more I watch
AGREED! These men are amazing & they have to speak highly of the local law enforcement. If not they get a bad name within the law community & start getting shut out. Sad because the ones I’ve watched don’t deserve the recognition they seem so blah,unbothered & nonchalant about a missing person & someone wanting to actually solve it. They can legit solve a missing person case within 24hrs-a week but yet these “investigators” can’t within 7+yrs! Also if they did really look back in the beginning & the car wasn’t seen like they claim I would start to think fowl play?🤔
FOR EVERYONES INFORMATION: The license plate did read “AUZ 382” . They did say “387”. But on the poster it read “382”. This is definitely Ethan.
Thank you
Lmfao he said the license plate wrong twice
Thats what I thought as well I wasn't sure if I was seeing it as a 2 due to health reasons but now that you said this I'm definitely not seeing it wrong it was a 2 not a 7
Yes I read the also 382
So I am not going crazy seeing 382 when he said 387
An unfortunate part about police looking for missing ppl is resources (man time, other departmental resources ect) don't last forever, and they end up having to move on to another case for a reason or another. You guys are filling a gap here. You're knowledge of sonar, and overall ability to see the big picture, you guys are really doing amazing work here, and we need people like you to bring people home 🖤
very true and a lot of these smaller areas just don’t have the money nor the time
Didn’t lack the resources once it was found for them though. Soon swooped in…
@@PaulArnold666 you ain't wrong
You guys are such a class act! On every case I've watched of AWP your professionalism, strengths, knowledge, compassion and integrity is phenomenal. Great job guys. Keep up the good work.
I don’t feel like y’all got credit where credit was due. I was looking on fb about posting on this missing young man, and I kept seeing, thanks to the police dept etc. I could not be the parents out there and not come to y’all and tell y’all how much I appreciate what y’all done in finding my son. This breaks my heart. I hope they have since reached out to y’all and thanked y’all for bringing closer to their lives. Y’all are amazing ppl and I want to thank y’all for being who y’all are and what y’all do. God bless each of you.
I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAID 100%.....THEY STILL SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN THAT REWARD.....REGARDLESS.....THE TIME HAD EXPIRED.....WHERE THE POLICE STILL GOING TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHO KILLED HIM???? I SURE HOPE SO.....
@@TheKentuckylady717 and who did the money goto? Donuts and coffee?
Amen
The parents of this young man made a donation to them for helping bring hom there son. What do you want them too do? They said thank you in there own way leave it at that. They lost there son 7yrs ago and everyday from that day will have been horrible for them. Then to be in that field when they were pulling the car out and waiting to here if there were a body inside or not? And then having to wait for the coroner to come back with if that was there son. They said thank you just because they dont splash a video all over youtube saying thank you don't mean they have not said thank you and we know they have done that..
This is so sad. Horrible for the young man's family that it took so many years to find him. These guys...Finding missing people as often as they do, wow, that's tough.
Police are a joke. They have millions for tactical gear but couldn’t find a car right down the pond 7 years later? What a joke
@@GabGotti3 police have other things to do, as horrible as that sounds
Have been watching quite a few of your recoveries, and it’s very interesting. Thank you for what you do.
R I P ETHAN KAZMERZAK .YOU GUYS AT AWP ARE GODS ANGELS .THEY CALL 911 CANT FIND NOTHING NOBODY COULDNTAND GAVE UP AND WAIT FOR TIPS. GOD KNOWS THE RELATIVES WERE WAITINGFOR ANSWERS THAT THEY COULDNT GET UNTIL GOD SENT YOU GUYS.YOU GUYS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK . 7 YRS THEY WAITED AND TOOK YOU GUYS HOURS TO FIND HIM.TO THE FAMILY WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS.
Amen🙏🏻prayers for the family and I’m sorry for y’all lost! May he Rest In Peace
It's so sad they do the work and they get the credit shame on them for not including them through it all.
why he drive into lake ?
I love how respectful everyone has been in this video. The conversations between y'all and law enforcement were so mutually respectful.
Ikr
All I saw was how rude he is by not letting people speak first he's talking over them
Cause there white

the difference between this sheriff’s department and the one y’all dealt with when you found nicholas allen is like night and day. THIS is how you treat a team who is out there helping to bring these missing people home to their loved ones. stand up guys these officers were. great work once again AwP!
Jared & Sam... you guys are beyond AMAZING men w/such big hearts. Can see it in y'alls eyes, in ur faces & in ur voices when u first spotted the car.
Thank God n heaven the police, landowner ect... were ready & willing to bring Ethan home w/the help of y'all.
As for the pond being searched already x's 2 or 3 times or whatever... he jus wasn't meant to be found until now. 😥💔 God Bless both of u. Stay strong, stay safe, stay being u.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
I agree, I live in NC and I was totally appalled by the way that sheriffs department interacted with AWP and Nicholas’s family.
Local LEO's were absolutely professional, and even very kind to the AWP team. Due to the possibility of this being a crime scene, their hesitance to allow them to stay on scene is understandable.
AMEN TO THAT
Welcome to Iowa nice!
Jared your skill with sharing these stories is amazing. What a unique opportunity you've created for yourself by publicizing your sonar and dive work in order to fund future work. Congrats on your success!
You guys are so professional in working with law enforcement. We all can see that AWP is more than qualified to do this type of work. Keep up the good work!
These guys are extremely professional…. I like that they did not bash the other search team….
They know the limitations of the technology. They even said they missed it on the first pass and only caught it on the second.
Yeah, this is only the third video with them I’ve seen, but I’m impressed not only with what they do, but also with their level of professionalism.
As for the local dive team, and emergency management, I can see them wanting to run the show, even if more professional people are available, and even though it’s just a recovery, it’s an excellent chance for them to go through their protocol and do the job, which they might not do much, and in doing so maybe they might be able to act fast enough to actually save a life.
God bless everyone involved in this recovery, but especially those from this channel who choose to go out, on their own, without any government backing, and help find loved ones so their friends and family can get some closure, give their loved one a proper burial and hopefully move on from this multi year nightmare of just not knowing where their loved one is, or if they are alive. It’s a terrible ending, but it’s far better than a never ending uncertainty over someone’s fate.
They are very respectful and professional in all they do. It’s the other five teams that sometimes get butt-hurt. When AOP gets disrespected it pisses me off. There is a human in that car that a family is missing, throw your ego to the side and get the job done.
It’s not their family or friends that’s why
They may not bash the previous search team. But I will. This county is full of trash cops especially the sheriff. And search team. Straight garbage. Somebody make these diver guys detectives and pay them double
So thankful to the landowner giving you permission. I've got tears running down my face. I'm sure the family will be happy and sad for knowing you found him.
I'm very grateful for that to as a catholic church cemetery pond they wouldn't give permission too or a rock quarry places clear water in Wisconsin it's where divers go a big rock quarry in black river falls
I don’t understand why they kept saying a license plate ended in 387, when it was obviously 382. And then they told the cop on the phone that they had a license plate match?
And _THEN_ when talking to the cop in person, he said it ended in 357! The cop said “that’s correct.” Huh?? The plate is clear as day 382! Just weird!
@@lcaceci43 what a POS you are. Congratulations
would you want a dead person and a car in your pond. I mean what do you expect him to say no?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 yeah i notice that too XD...anyway they find Ethan.
Watch your channel from New Zealand, what a wonderful service you give to these families, to bring closure in such a respectful way. Bless you all
Just found this company, I am truly amazed and very proud to have you guys do this service . Your wonderful
Back in 84 I recovered a car that had been missing 2 1/2 yrs with a couple inside , it's not a pretty site .But there was closure for the daughter an family .
It is better that the family know for sure so they can move on.
As I posted elsewhere here, many years ago I was on vacation in Miami. I saw on the News a case where they found a car at bottom of a canal out towards Everglades. It had 4 or 5 (I think) missing teens inside, who had been missing for years. I forget how many years. This was probably 35 years ago or so. I think they had been missing for a lot of years.
If you don’t mind giving an insight on the decomposition of the bodies please?
