CASE DETAILS
According to Smith's then-teenage daughter, her parents' marriage was troubled: both her mother and father struggled with alcohol, they argued often, and there was infidelity on both sides.
She stated her father, after Smith disappeared, assumed she'd simply left.
He claimed she had removed an unspecified amount of money from their bank account before leaving the house that night.
However, Smith's other relatives never believed she would have left on her own, as she was close to her mother and they don't think she would have abandoned her or her three children.
Smith routinely carried a purse containing her wallet, her own Social Security card, and the cards of her children.
About five years after Smith went missing, someone in Cumberland, Maryland used her daughter's Social Security number. This person has never been identified and it's not clear whether this has any relationship with Smith's case.
The circumstances of Smith's disappearance are unclear.

I'm a 65 year old woman, spent my life in Law Enforcement right up to a year ago. I've learned that answers can be tough, but unanswered questions are far tougher. What you guys do, is not only a reminder that caring people still exist in this very cold world, but that there is still hope for the American soul. You are an inspiration to us all. Besides the interesting stories you bring to us, the quality of the videography, the perfect selections of music, are excellent as well. Thank you for all you do, and gratitude to your families that sacrifice so much to allow you to do it. NY GunGranni
Well said
Ratio+L
👍😊
Well said. Process of elimination for Jared is key. The AWP team wants to give it their all before leaving an area/case

Not having answers or being unsuccessful, isn't always a bad thing, it's hard on the family, but for now at least we know where she isn't. Keep up the good fight!
And honestly, if this is a murder case, the search area becomes incredibly vast.
I always shop at the malls and Ross they should CHEK any bodies of water around them
Yep. They're not going to go past that area and be constantly wondering if their loved one is down there.
I live right at an hour from this location. I have NEVER heard of her story until now. That leads me to believe there are plenty of others here in NC that haven’t as well. Hopefully your investigation stirred the pot JUST ENOUGH to get people talking, to get people to remember things that maybe didn’t seem significant back then, but are now. I hope she is able to be found and brought home to her family.
Where exactly is this location
@@philljoker5292 around Eden NC
@@sassafraspaul7528 THANK U, SIR! GOD BLESS, Sir, for having Ur eyes OPEN...comes w/"the TURF!" RIDE SAFE, take care.
I live in NC also and have never heard of this case.
I live two hours away (just slightly north west of charlotte) and have never heard of it myself :/
Hello @Adventures with purpose, i want to thank y'all for what y'all have done fur my family and other family's, Michelle is my sister and I'm hoping maybe one day soon we can have some closure and i hope it happens while mom is still here with us, she really needs some closure on this, again thanks for all you've done and continue to do for others, ive been subscribed for a lil more than a year but i never thought I'd see a story about someone that i was kin to, y'all keep up the good work and good bless
Hi Kevin, I hope you get the closure and justice deserve. With that said, you said that Michelle is your sister. One of the daughters has been commenting on this feed and I am wondering how is it that you have the same last name as your niece? (your sisters daughter?)
Disregard my comment below. Hundley her maiden name. Smith her married name.
Sending prayers Michelle is found. And justice is given.
I can’t imagine your family’s grief and heartache. I’m so sorry! 😢 I pray she is found soon and the person that caused it is brought to justice soon! It’s been too long! Prayers for you and your family.
I’m so so sorry . I can’t even begin to imagine 😢
As soon as you said the husband said she left to be with another man, my reaction was he did it. I hope her kids get the answers they deserve and I hope the police can find the evidence to take this case forward so the family can have their day in court and justice.
glad it wasn't just me who thought that
Oh yeah for sure, especially coming from someone that watches a lot of true crime its just the way that he says that with no feeling behind it is a flag for me
Oh 100% same reaction for me, for him to act like she ran off with another man, instead of main concern being that she got in a accident is superrrrr suspicious to me
Me too
I know you guys are just commenting your theories but truth is my dad had reason to say she left with someone else.. bc in the past even tho she didnt leave with another man, she did leave... she came back after a cpl of wks but that would give him reason to think that. I do not believe my father did this
So the LOCAL Police won't talk about case? THAT speaks volumes. Think of Susan Powell. Prayers that she is found. Jared, Venmo you $50 to help w/ equipment. Hope it helps in some small way. Also purchased 10 window breakers/seatbelt cutters for gifts for parents on St. Patrick's Day. Wishing the best for your team and volunteers. God Bless. Your PURPOSE is the healing of those left behind. THANK YOU ALL.
12:12! a disembodied voice or possibly even an EVP can be heard.
It's a possible older woman or maybe even a man saying "Please! Get me out!"
im glad i checked the comments first. i heard that too =(
I didn't notice at all until i was watching some one else reacting to scary ghost videos and this was featured
i heard it! creepy!! 💯
Omg that gave me goosebumps
i didn’t even hear it until you pointed it out
Imagine being a family of a missing person that possibly someone in your family killed and is not in prison. How do you treat that person? I just don’t know how some families cope with that. Thank you AWP for your amazing efforts as usual to solve a case. You are all so darn wonderful I can’t even put it into words.
If the local agency thinks possible foul play too, why haven't they searched the waters that these guys have? When the husband says “she left me” he would be my first suspect! I don't understand the local agency just giving up. Was the husband pals with the agency? Who had the most to gain from her disappearance? Was their marriage on the rocks when she left to go shopping? Maybe the local agency needs investigation! Run sonar in the yard where the husband lived at the time. That local agency needs to do their job, even if its a tough case. I wonder if that local agency has a history of unsolved cases.
You guys do great work. Thank you
Local agencies probably have the same issues like the other agencies these guys encounter--lack of resources (equipment, skilled divers, skilled detectives, budget, etc.). It's like when these guys find a car, get brushed aside by law enforcement, and have to watch that car get hauled incorrectly out of the water. There's been more than one "professional" extraction where I felt certain a body was going to fall out due to the vehicle being pulled out of the water incorrectly!
@@zambranaml I've felt that way too about a couple of those "professional" extractions. I'm usually sitting here holding my breath and thinking how horrified any family members would be.
@@zambranaml they look for bodies before they haul the vehicle out. I watched one episode that actually did have a body inside, the vehicle was brought out entirely different from one that was empty.
Guys and gals that do this stuff deserve more then support. They deserve a Oscar. This work goes unnoticed. We appreciate you. More then you know.
Yes they need to just stay doing what they do best , sonar . Jerrods eagle eyes , dugs caring heart they make a great team, also the camera man GREAT TEAM WORK
Oscar's are for acting. They need like a Nobel peace prize or something. Haha
Amen
An Oscar? You know that's for acting, right?
Not just acting. Best cinematography, Best documentary feature, Film editing, documentary short, etc. Seems like Cody knows what she is talking about.
Good choice for your team to stay away from violent crimes. You can’t do everything. You guys are a gift. Thank you for all you do.
@@saraschneider6781.... I agree, all crimes deserve to investigated. People that commit violent crimes can be very protective of their freedom. AWP is an all volunteer operation. They need to be cautious re their well-being, they also have families. Their dedication is amazing. Their survival is important.
There's good reason for suspicion that she just didn't up & leave. Especially leaving her kids behind. I hope she's found so her kids have an answer to why she never made it back home. I'm a mom myself. & it pulls at my heart with cases of mothers disappearing & going missing or worse cases. You guys have good souls. You're doing incredible work & giving so many people hope!
I have begun to notice Jared’s whole demeanor changes when he begins a search. I have learned so much about sonar watching these videos. What a blessing AWP is for families.
But where is her car? Strange the husband said she ran away…that’s not usually the first thing to suspect at Christmas time. Hope someone finds her so the person who did it can get the sentence they deserve.
More like it's suspicious that he told his kids she ran away with another man...
There is way too much violence against women in this world and the numbers increase every year. Thank you for doing what you can.
That's what they get for being disrespectful
Yeah, except for the fact that men are four times more likely to die of homicide than women, there is way to much violence, but you're right who cares about the men?
@@michaeldose2041 and women 10 times more likely to complain about something
@@notsponsored103 ok
@@bubblebutbandit1666 is that really an excuse for the murder of a woman whose children will never see her again?
After watching the video it makes me mad that there is so much evidence of foul play and the authorities refuse to go further. At least two different agencies call AWP off the case - and I’m glad they did that so the team can focus elsewhere and precious crowd-sourced resources aren’t wasted but geez! It’s disrespectful to the victim and her family to just let the killer go. If they have all that info, they should finish the work and bring justice for her. I also feel like, if she was higher up in status there - would - be justice by now.
There are cases where in absence of enough evidence, a conviction is rendered impossible. That is bitter - but true.
The reason they can't go further is they only have 'circumstantial' evidence, it isn't enough to prove guilt and get a conviction.
@@catherinewilliams3850 Circumstantial cases are brought and won all the time. Don’t you get it? She’s not worth - in their eyes - bringing justice. I stand by what I said. I’ll say more: shame on the justice system in that jurisdiction that devalues this mom’s life by allowing her murder to go unprosecuted.
@@taxiuniversum the only bitter truth is how devalued this mom is by this justice system
@@catherinewilliams3850 Circumstantial evidence can absolutely sustain a conviction. (I’m not saying there is enough here, just saying murder convictions on purely circumstantial evidence happen regularly.) Not having her body makes it hard, but again, not strictly impossible.
Not finding someone is not a failure it just means that they are not there in that area.
Hope is a strong, resourceful feeling, but it can be easily lost.
But I know that you all will not rest until every stone, waterway, river, stream and pond is checked.
The service you are providing is helping people, families, loved ones to find peace in the heart's and closure to their mind in knowing that people care and their loved ones will be found and brought home.
Love, peace, prayers and blessings to you all in what you do.
GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL THE PEOPLE WHO CARE AND WORK WITH YOU.
I just want to take a minute and say than you to Adventuress with Purpose for helping to keep Michele alive. I have lived near Eden my whole life and have never once have heard about this case, actually have family that live in Eden and they have not once talked about this case. Hopefully now it will get people thinking about this case again to one day have the answers the family deserves.
I lived on the same road as them for 20 years, closer to them than Eden, until I moved a few years after this happened. I even knew her husband's uncle but no one ever said a thing. I learned about it a couple years ago.
How sad to make a decision to take someone from the family violently then hide them. Children never ask for this. Thank You for double checking. Peace Out ❤
i hope AWP checks out 12:12 portion of the video. you can clearly hear a muffled scream like someone is trapped underwater screaming "please! let/get me out!".
Omg! You are so right! Very faint but put the sound to your ear and you clearly can hear that. Eerie 😱
Heard it too
Heard it too
I hear it clear but just before that there is a muffled noise but it sounds like a male to me
I lived in Eden when this happened. I've heard all the accusations. The DA wont do anything at this time because there is not enough evidence to prove their case. In my heart of hearts I do NOT think she committed suicide, she loved her kids and mother to much. Hubby "thought" she left because there had been affairs on both sides. She didnt just "leave" her children on her own. Last I heard was a few years ago and it was being assumed the husband had a big hand in her disappearance. I know NOTHING for sure but I've got my thoughts and own info. Its sad my kids were in school with her kids. I cant see and dont see how moms EVERY leave their children.
Dawn please share who was suspected....... as well as your thoughts and info. thank you
@@diritarothwell4008 I dont know anymore than what they police were told back then. Like I said when you live in Eden you hear all the accusations. Her husband has been suspected for a long time now. They just dont have the proof to take him to court. My thoughts are he got tired of having a cheating wife even though he was cheating himself and he followed her. Not sure what he done to her but then he took the van she was driving and either sold it or hid it somewhere. Like I said this is part my guessing and part of knowing what was already said back in Eden during that time. Only time will tell and if the police dont get him he will eventually pay when its his day to meet his maker.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Nice to hear from someone from the area.
Hey dawn .. can you msg me on fb ... my name is Amanda Hundley on there.. i am ofcourse her daughter and im trying to remember who you are lol..
It's the husband for sure he paid someone!!! He planned this that's why he got away with it!!!🤔🤔🤔
Even though you weren't the ones to solve this one, you were able to give some answers to her family as to where she wasn't located. Additionally, the attention you have brought to her disappearance may lead to her eventually being found and the case solved. You guys are doing God's work in cleaning up the environment, saving lives, giving answers to families about their loved ones who have lost their lives and bringing home those who have been lost! All blessings to you!
The husband told the kids their mother ran off? That’s, uh, interesting. In 20 years, she’s never contacted a loved one, applied for a drivers license, set up utilities, used her Social Security number, paid taxes, been arrested, held an on-the-books job, etc. Maybe he thinks it’s a less painful explanation for his children? Weird, but less horrendous than the other explanation for him saying that.
You guys being at suicide bridge has surfaced a lot of emotions I have tucked down deep inside. I was not expecting to see this bridge or even you guys standing on it! WOW is all I can say. Wish I would have known yall were in town I definitely would have came to get an autograph and shake yalls hands! Keep up the great work yall! Bringing attention to the case...I have a feeling will bring the family the answers they "Suspect." Keeping you guys in my prayers for safe travels and the family in my prayers for the closure they desperately need! Much love from NC💕
One thought I had was when you said you don't know if she made it to Walmart....wouldn't there be a credit card/purchase record to see if she actually did some shopping there?
Thank you for bringing some type of answers for these families and for doing it in such a humane and caring way.
Or even video surveillance. In 2002 they def had that at all WalMarts. Obviously unless it was kept by law enforcement in their “evidence” room then it would be long long gone. Something tells me there isn’t any “evidence” stored regarding this case & if so it probably doesn’t even fill a shoebox.😔If they aren’t sure she made it to Walmart then their info came from somewhere! I wonder if the family said that or their just putting out possibilities. If that’s what they were told then that really does give a serious question on top of many others to, “why wasn’t that ruled out in the very beginning”
I completely agree with you on that one I hope that she gets found soon and bought back to her family
They are just assuming. There is no way for them to know. Unfortunately my mom did not use credit cards and it was 2001 when she left, not quite 2002 yet.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t even imagine what it’s been like not knowing or having any closure.
Well there would surely be some action on her bank account even if she never ever used a credit card.
My birthday is on the 21st of this month. I asked my family this year for my birthday to buy me some merchandise and or donate to you all. I am certified in scuba open water 1&2, Drysuit, search and rescue. Thank you so very much for this movement you all started and all that are involved .
Morning guys. I don’t know anything about this case,so I have some thoughts. Okay, I have a question? Why does the husband think she just left them? Were there issues in the relationship? For a husband to come up with a comment like “she just left us that night”, to me that’s a big red flag, it just doesn’t set right with me, just really makes my spirit uneasy. Maybe you need to check the ponds near the home. Forgive my bluntness. I am 75 y/o, have worked in mental health and LE fields, and this just really bothers me, like I said, it’s not feeling right. As I am watching this, you guys just started discussing foul play, I hear ya and I am with you, she was deliberately harmed.
Agreed!
I agree with you husband might be involved
According to the publicly available info, she struggled with alcoholism and her and her husband often fought, sometimes physically, because of it.
I agreed with you, the husband have something to do with her disappearance
His statement could come from a place of depression , but the missing wallet and ss card just can't be ignored
Hello. I am almost 74 years young and I stumbled on you here 3 days ago.
I want to thank you with everything in and around me. I haven't cried like this in years. Tears of sadness for the ones not found. Tears of joy and sadness for the ones found.
I wish that I was 50 years younger and that I could help. Believe me, not only could, but would.
You make this world a better place. It is just more proof that some of the best things DO come from Oregon.
Again, THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for all you do! These stories are so sad but you give the families answers that they desperately need.
The big question is why her? Why was she targetted but the police never put in the effort to solve? Her husband is suspect to me really. For him to say "mom left for a better life" which is usually key to mom is buried in the backyard or some location connected to the husband and he got away with it.
Right? I agree!
As soon as I heard that I immediately had a red flag waving.
If she's buried somewhere, how does the Van dissappear...mystery all around
@@roaminwithringo chop shop? Friend who takes it and dumps it in a quarry?
Thank y’all so much for checking into this case for that family, I’ve lived here in near Eden for 30 years and just last year I heard about the case.I hope the person that did this will come clean so the family can have closure.
😥 So sad,not only the case but that man who asked who's jumping today. WOW
If I lived there that would be my mission to camp out and save people from jumping.
You guys are amazing at the work you do, the long hard hours/ days/ weeks, you do to find these missing people is incredible! What a guy !! Xx
I'm actually from Eden and have watched this case come back up every year since i was a child, in such a small town its so crazy that this case still isn't solved. Thanks for visiting our little neck of the woods and giving that extra support that is much needed!
My feeling is that they know who but they are just waiting for that one piece of evidence to reveal itself in order to seal the deal so to speak. No matter how long, every dog has it's day.
So many domestic abusers/murderers running around with zero consequences, it makes my heart sick :(
Its apointed for man to live once and then there is the judgement day God said in the Bible. On that day we all who ever lived will be there to witness the sins of individuals, just make sure you repent from yours before you die and find true faith in Jesus Christ, so he can forgive you your SINS and you can be saved and born again of the Spirit of God and become new CREATION in Christ before you die than you will not be judged on to hell. Seek Jesus Christ with all of your heart and you will find him. He is real i have met the Lord Jesus Christ in an open vision he healed my broken heart and set me free from SIN and change me and my life forever, i know i am going to heaven, my sins are FORGIVEN by Jesus for real.
Welcome to North Carolina. Thank you guys so much for all you"re doing for families and the environment.
When people Christmas shop, they'll often travel an hour and a half to get to a special store or shopping mall for that special gift. I'd go BEYOND the local rivers and ponds in any holiday-related case and include those along the route to another city she may have traveled to.
Keep us updated on this case. I hope they get answers.
Regular viewer here from across the pond in the United Kingdom.
You guys are amazing in searching for missing loved ones and not only bringing them home but bringing families closure. You always give 110% and leave no potential bodies of water unchecked. I am always moved when I watch your channel.
Keep up the good work.
I will purchasing a few items soon to help support Adventures with Purpose.
Take care
Once again, you are awesome guys.
I've said before we allllll need to find our Purpose.
You're an inspiration to so many and I thank you.
I just discovered your channel 2 days ago and I must say, you guys are amazing! What you do for these families warms my heart. In this cruel world, it’s good to know there are still the few who care ❤️ I’ve been binge watching
Wow. Go back and watch some of the older videos. You will love them.
It's so heartbreaking.. as a mother of 3 I wouldn't leave my children for any reason.. when most moms leave they take their children because they know the protection needed. This mom didn't return because someone took that from her .. I hope this case is solved and she finds her justice.
I’ve been watching you guys for months now, I came across one of you’re videos by accident and it really touched me. (I cried a little bit) Seeing the people you’re all helping is absolutely amazing. You’re all hero’s! I’m now hooked on watching you’re videos. 😂 well done all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
You guys are truly amazing. 🥺 Thank you for sharing and being so kind to the world. ❤️
One thing I've noticed about a few of your previous videos is that there's more than one that appeared to be a victim of a wrong turn, went down an unfamiliar dark road/driveway trying to turn around and went into the water. For example in this case, just north of your first search area, if she'd gotten into the wrong lane before the bridge she could have ended up going along AL Philpott Hwy where the river running alongside looks much wider, deeper, and with lots of little side streets and sparse guard rails. Being lost in the dark is a hell of a distraction, so the exact route may not be the right route.
I fell upon this channel a month ago by accident and binged watched. I decided to join up and do appreciate the respect given to families and law enforcement. There is an amazing group of volunteers to step up to do right by the families and all I can say is thank you. I pray for your health and safety. At the end of the day even if not completely successful know that your hard work and perseverance does not go unnoticed. There will come a time when those responsible for any foul play will answer to their maker. Keep up the good fight.
No disrespect but hearing Jared always get excited and scream “OH OH OH” or “AHHH IS THAT A CAR?” is great. I’d be happy too if I thought I had some evidence. I’m glad he’s so upbeat about it and hopeful, and not angry or super disappointed like some divers and searchers can be.
I think its also a combo of knowing the gravity that you might have just found someone's loved one, that can't be easy to know your right over them
Thank you AWP, I live about 20 minutes from here and have done my own research on this case I hope the family can have some answers soon
I'm surprised a television network hasn't given you awesome guys your own show / contract.
You're definitely worthy of drawing in viewers.
Thanks for all of the good you do.
It must be a very difficult job at times.
Rewarding also.
Keep up the great work.

I will not be surprised to see them have a tv show of their own in the future.
I personally think the last thing these guys need is some network telling them what to do!! It would probably really change the show. I just feel like mainstream TV would ruin this channel for sure. They’re very in control this way and have to answer to no one but themselves 😊
@Steph Davis... 100% This!!!
When production companies get involved, they want to control too much and might not allow these men to think for themselves. As long as these men have access to show their work, they don't need a production crew. Maybe what they need is more financial backing from big corporations. I see that many help out by their monthly membership, but that can dry out too and the donations are not always consistent.
Why would you want to this on Cable? Most like it where it is, with the shows authenticity in tact. I don't think these guys are the type to sell out.
Holy hell!! I'm from Martinsville, graduated in '02, traveled many years and came back; I remember this and did my senior year internship with Martinsville /Henry Co Homicide Dept...thank you for this.
You gentlemen are truly an inspiration and admirable for what you do! How many of these awful cases do we hear about, and are
frustrated beyond words for the victim, the families, everyone who is affected. Thank you for helping those who always wait for a
word, to finally be able to "bury" their loved ones at last. Keep up the good work, and best wishes to you and her family. RIP Michele.
thank you so much for all you and your crew do. Even if not finding those lost family members, knowing where they are not, is a comfort too
It really warmed my heart that someone stopped, just in case they were witnessing someone about to jump. I’ve been that person on the bridge, in broad daylight in the city centre and so many people just passed by or commented “you can’t be out there” before they kept walking. ONE guy stopped with his girlfriend and pulled me in at the first chance he got, holding me while his girlfriend tried to comfort me until police showed up and even if I was mad then I’m grateful now, about 15 years later. Just the fact that someone cared, someone who had no reason to, meant a lot.
This apparently, is still an open case with law enforcement. Once you are able to determine that it wasn't accidental, you have to pull away! Great job Jared, Doug and the rest of the team!! What you guys are doing is priceless to those families that are searching for answers!!! Thank you!!
U def can tell this one was a hard one for them to walk (u could see it in thier faces thier tones and body language) away from being 1. They r dads 2. She went missing at xmas.
I live 45 minutes from Eden. I have always wondered what happened to her. Personally, I believe her husband is responsible for her disappearance. There is so much rural land and water ways in that area..
We've got some deep rivers running through here too ... Dan River, Mayo if she possibly went toward Madison, Smith River in Martinsville. If she went in one of those rivers, she might not be found. But I think her husband is responsible.
@Gbosearcher can i ask why you believe my dad did this? Just a hunch or do you know something?
I honestly do not think my dad would do something so heinous
@@kittiehundley4089 ...I know many, many people from the Madison and Mayodan area, worked with many of them. I am sorry for the lost of your mother, and many parents can be capable of hideous crimes and yet be loving parents..Too much evidence points to foul play. And much of it points to a person who was known to her. One thing...why buy Christmas presents and then vanish without leaving them for your kids. At first, I thought she might have been in an accident, run off the road, injured somewhere. But, time passes and no hint of her, any accounts, no contact, doesn't paint a good picture. Years ago, in Greensboro a man went missing over the July 4th holiday. He was to join his family at the beach..never showed up..Many years later his car with his body was found off 220 right by the Leadership Center.
@@gbosearcher-3686 i think it is imp to trust the gut of the kids over ours, we dont know! assuming they are right, the poor dad is being wrongly accused. assuming he was home with the kids that night and showed the appropriate incredulous reaction when the news broke.
@@seedsoflove7684 ... You are welcome to your opinion, but I live in the area and worked with many people from the same place. I still believe someone close to her is responsible. If you want to see another unsolved murder in the area..look up The murder of Jennifer Short and her parents. 20 years ago and still unsolved.
Can't say enough good about you guys helping families. Keep up the blessed work.
I absolutely love you guys, and I find you all so inspirational. What you do is amazing, and even when you dont bring home answers, I'm sure it means so much to the families that someone, anyone, is willing to at least TRY. Be safe guys, and good luck.
I am such a huge fan of you guys. I live in Martinsville, VA and have traveled the roads featured in this video a million times. Wish I had known you were searching local areas. It would be amazing to watch you search live. 🤓
Such an inspiration! I love you guys!The work you do for these families is indescribable. Thank you so much for all that you do it’s absolutely incredible.
I love you GUYS, especially when you think of the (what if's) thinking of other ways in the situation!
Every edit gets better and better. Good job. It isn't always about finding, but ruling out. God bless you and what you do.
I just want to drop in and say that you guys really are doing impactful work. Even if you can't solve them all, the ones you do solve still brings answers to so many people who get to see their loved ones come back home again. Even the ones you don't solve are just as important, and you show that there are people out there who do care about these people, and that their memory still lives on, and it shows that there are people who do want justice for them and didn't just give up on them.
The world needs more people like you guys. You might not see yourselves as heroes by any means, but you truely are.
The things you subject yourselves to for people you don't even know is so selfless and kind, and there is absolutely no price anyone can put on this.
I hope I am never in a situation where I need your guys's help, but it does bring me some comfort knowing that you guys are out there and willing to listen if I ever do. You are making a difference, and that's worth so much more than all the gold in the world.
I have every intention of supporting you guys when I can afford to. I don't buy youtube merch often, but you guys, if anyone, deserve it.
Thank you, honestly.
I just appreciate the effort you guys put in these cases thank you be safe
I haven't gotten to watch any of your shows for a while and this popped up today so i wanted to let you know i enjoyed this but have an overwhelming feeling of sadness. My heart aches for the loss of this familie's loved one. I am a mother of 3 children whom are all in their 30's and I am a grandma too. I can't even imagine what life would be like if someone took me out of it. PS my name is Michelle Smith. My biological father's family is from Stonesville, Eden areas of NC (Hughes, Grogan, Evans, Turners) so this hits home to me. I honestly pray that somebody will bring some light to this investigation and that this precious soul gets her justice! Thanks for doing what you do. I can't imagine how emotionally draining it must be to you guys as well as to your own families. God bless you.
With all the water around Eden and ways to get into it, just wondering what sort of water search did they do / if any at all .
Thank u all for ur time and donating ur expertise in finding list loved ones. Bless u.
What yall do is amazing and heartfelt! You guys help so many families, u give them peace and comfort by bringing their loved one's home.
Whoa. Stay safe you guys don't mash anybody's toes. I wish the public could access some kind of social media cold case centre and every one of us just Gabby Petito these types of cases. That lady Michele was a person and she should get justice.
There were key phrases that made this Mom-Slueth throw a red flag! I have followed this story for a while, I think they have known all along who but want a body or more evidence to charge. At least we know they are looking and we know where she is NOT! You are a blessing to the families, even if you do not find them all, keep up the good work. It must be at times heartbreaking at times. God Bless all of you out there still working for the families.
You are all amazing taking the time away from your family and friends to help try to look for missing people. God Bless you all.
I never heard of AWP until the Keily Rodni case, so I decided to binge watch on my day off. You guys are something special. You have such empathy and respect for the missing person as well as the family. I try not to cry while watching and do pretty good until the music comes on....😭God Bless you for all you do and have done!!!
That is so heartbreaking. I hope this case gets solved.
Thank you for checking that 2nd place, even tho there was confirmation she isn't there you could always find someone else and bring closer to another family
Yes , with out searching no one knows what may be found , a couple feet of dark water is very effective in hiding things
Thank you all for all that you do and trying to help these families to find their missing loved one.
I just recently discovered you on youtube, and I just wanted to say I love you guys so much, all of you, just for the fact you are good decent human beings with big hearts! Sending you all the love from England 🥰
At 25.50 there's a woman's voice saying Yes. Agreeing with you guys. I'm not sure if there was any other people with you guys filming but it was clear given me goosebumps. It's so sad my heart goes out to the family 💔. Thanks for the work you guys do. Much appreciated 🙏
Dang I heard it
@@tatesreptileworld8654 I think there was another group standing nearby. You can hear them talking in other parts. But take a good listen around 12:13 there is a disembodied voice.
Just think 2 years ago you would have never searched that first river probably just magnet check it you have come so far by solving and learning. Thank You all for you do God bless you and your family
I am so glad you men are able and willing to do this type of work, thank you.
So glad I found your channel! You guys are awesome & do some great things ❤ Even though it must be bittersweet, you handle the families with grace & compassion. Much love from Connecticut 🌈
This breaks my heart. Being a wife, mom and grandma. God Bless you for what you do and try to do.
The Detective On My Brother's Homicide Looked Me In My Eyes And Told Me Who Murdered My Brother. There Is A Boat Load Of Circumstantial Evidence; But Due To No Physical Evidence They Refused To Pursue. Hoping That Her Family Gets The Answers That They Deserve.
I’ve not long since subscribed but the help you give the family and friends of those missing is beyond amazing and I’m sure you give hope to those in other countries like mine where there are cold cases and some relating to potential divers needed to investigate. Even if it’s not great news at least they know they’re loved one isn’t there and it opens up other potential areas and hopefully brings someone forward who knows something.
The new intro ROCKS IT! I love it-very professional, crisp, and clear-great job!!!
I can't say it enough just how much I love ❤ what ya'll are doing by providing some closure to the families & loved ones of those missing.
Ya'll are truly answering your call and fulfilling your God given purpose.
Keep on keeping on.. and always Stay Blessed .
I live in Ridgeway Virginia it borders Eden nc and there is always things like this going on..thanks for searching these situations out. You guys are really an asset to any community
Your work is really inspirational and the videography is amazing. (Can't get over how beautiful it is actually! Well done!)
Thanks for your kindness and all you do. ❤️
Michele Hundley Smith's daughter believes with her heart and soul that her father wasn't involved... but you can never know what someone is thinking, much less what they're capable of. I will not go into personal details, but there was a similar situation in my life at one point, 45 years ago, when I was a child. And NOBODY would've suspected the individual who planned to do it--a quiet, peaceful, non-confrontational person, clean with no drug or alcohol addiction issues or history, holding a steady job, with stable relationships, who drove a new-ish car, and had no debts.
By comparison, the Hundley family was beset by numerous issues: bad marriage, alcohol and infidelity being the highlights. Not to mention a history of being physically combative. Crimes of passion rely on even smaller triggers than the ones in that list.
The identity theft is really the big clue, here. The child's Social Security card/number was used in 2006, from a Social Security card that disappeared five years earlier. What kind of a thief holds onto a random SSN for that long? The scenario that makes the most sense to me is that the killer kept the purse and its contents as some sort of trophy (or, if it was the father, trying to figure out a way for his kids' cards to "miraculously" appear again), and that person then sold the child's SSN for money (or used it themselves while in financial straits). That mean's someone's finances in 2006/2007 are definitely going to come into play, here.
Such a sad story guys may she RIP and hopefully one day gets justice for what happened to her at least we know now where she isn't thanks to your team awesome work from all of you take care and God bless ❤️
Im so glad you guys came and tried to help find Michelle. I am so proud of you for the work you do for others. May God bless you all and keep you in your adventures 🙏
You guys are amazing people. Thank you for everything you do!!!
Agreeing with a lot of commentors, this case has a deep feeling of sadness. It's like there's a whole lot of people who know a lot more than they're saying if no one has ever bothered to look for her. How can someone go missing and there not be an open investigation? You don't need to say much to see the writing on the wall. It's unconscionable if this is indeed what happened to her. I hope that one day the answers come for her family. 🙏
Very heartbreaking to see that bridge. Many prayers to her family.
Y'all are beautiful people. Take pride in the humanity you offer wounded people. Thank you from my family.
Literally about to jump through my phone right now! I can’t believe I missed out on the chance to meet y’all! I love kayaking the Smith! Thanks for all you do and if you ever come back let us know!
12:14-12:15 you can hear a woman say “Help, let me out” it’s really creepy. Hopefully someone can isolate it to understand it better
I herd very clearly too, its strange....
Oh my clear as day very chilling
If you actually listen to it, it's very obvious that it's a man nearby, probably someone at a local business and your brain wants to hear "help let me out".
I swear at 12:12 I heard someone say ‘please I need help’
Yoooooooo what the fuck
I defo hear that too
i hear that to but i more hear Please! Get me out.
Jared Thank You And The AWP Crew For All That You Do. And Condolences To The Family. May There Mother RIP.
been watching this channel for 6 months brings tears to my eyes for the families that lost these people
It's ok Doug and Jared when I first saw her picture and the time of year I had the feeling it was foul play and no one here should want information that we all know you can't give. Keep up the good work.
Are we all just going to ignore the fact that someone screamed 'Please let me out' at 12:12?
I heard it too!
Wow. Clear as can be.
I heard it too. Did anyone contact AWP about it?
that freaked me out!!! I'm glad u said it.
Oh my goodness!!!
