==June 7th Update==
I'll leave our original post down below, but want to let everyone know the events which took place after we left the area on July 2nd.
On 07/02/21 the body of 38-year-old Kevin Carlile has been recovered at Fern Ridge Reservoir. Family members assisting in the search located his body in the water at approximately 12:52pm quite a distance south of where he had last been seen. Sheriff’s Search and Rescue personnel responded and assisted with the recovery.
Sheriff’s marine patrol and search and rescue resources were required at an unrelated in-progress water rescue incident on a separate body of water that morning.
At approximately 12:59pm family members to the victim contacted Sheriff’s Office personnel and advised that they had located the victim on the surface of the water in a different part of the reservoir. This was determined to be closer to Perkin’s Penninsula or Signal Island. Sheriff’s Office personnel responded to the family’s location and assisted in the recovery.
==============
In regards to our interaction with the Deputy on July 2nd, we are satisfied that a Supervisor with the Sheriff's Office reached out to our organization and apologized for the way we were treated.
At the end of the day, I personally am chalking it up to "we all have bad days" and hold nothing against the Deputy or the Lane County Sheriff's Office.
I ask that anybody reading this feel the same and please do not reach out to their office any further via email, phone, or other social media.
Thank you,
Jared
Original Post
==============
"I DON'T LIKE YOU" are the words uttered by the Sherriff's Deputy after returning to the boat ramp this evening after the cameras were off.
It started out with the Deputy walking up the ramp towards our RV and me meeting him halfway, hand outreached to shake his hand.
"I'm not shaking your hand"...
Taken back I ask is there a reason and what I may have done to upset this man I've never met before.
With no real cause stated as to why he'd have such a negative attitude and conversation with me, I'm saddened to say we will not be returning to Fern Ridge Lake in the morning to continue our search.
Can I say the target we saw on sonar is or is not Kevin? I don't know for I did not dive, putting my own eyes and hands on the target
Am I confident that if we had another, 3, 6, or maybe even 12 more hours to continue running out our sonar searches, diving on our own targets to verify, that we'd find Kevin... 100% You Bet!
At the end of the day, we are here to serve and not showboat or be cowboys. With 3 law enforcement agencies coming back in tomorrow, we can only hope for a quick recovery so the family can move forward from this unfortunate time in their lives.
We'll be moving a few hours north in the morning in hopes of helping another family during their own difficult time.
Thank you all for your support.
-Jared
Not sure if I should like or dislike your comment? What is the attitude from him, for?? Surely if they wanted to find the body to give the family closure they would have been there for the last couple of days. Instead they waited for someone else to do the Job. Appreciate your videos. Stay Aweome. Niki from Johannesburg in South Africa.
DON'T WORRY AWP THEY ARE ONLY JELOUS BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE DOING A BETTER JOB THEN THEM
Sounds like he was upset to have been called out to work on this. Sorry he was rude to you!
That's just a sick thing to say. You've never l, ever show boated, gloated, or have done anything in any of your videos, and I have watched y'all from the beginning and seen every video y'all have ever done. As well as Sam Sam and Dan! This whole thing just wreaks of being cruel towards y'all and no reason for such actions from them! It's just my opinion and with sadness these unfortunate events take place, and heaven forbid, if anything happens to any of their families, they should be so lucky to have y'all as their search team! Period! Y'all are the best I've ever seen with the least intentions of wanting anything for bragging rights, or anything else to prove yourselves, but to help bring, in Jared words, "resolution"! Don't let them bully you. Y'all are nothing but humble to anyone who you have helped and to any LE, and there have been a few I've wanted to reach through my phone and slap for y'all! Take care and god bless you and your time away from your families to always have the intent to help others in their times of need!
Wow Jared ...I really don't understand some people, why don't they just work with you and make use of your skills and equipment.... "some" law enforcement really does suck .. probably peeved off because he was about to go home and put his feet up and got called back .. reminds me of the the " not on a Friday sheriff " 😡👮👎
The people who believe you are interfering DON'T REALISE that you are LITERALLY SAVING the American Tax Payers THOUSANDS of DOLLARS where the public agencies hands are tied due to lack of funds to continue these heart wrenching searches. GOD BLESS you ALL and those who continue to donate that you may keep helping DESPERATE relatives in these situations
The local Sheriff's probably put in claims for search funds and get paid even if it's a sub par search. Maybe they get mad because they are loosing those funds for zero work when AWP and others like them come in and find the missing people.
Can't hear y'all
Millions of dollars... not thousands. Millions.
@@kiki29073 They don't get mad they lost that file. They are way too busy to be mad they lost a missing person's file. I don't think you realize just how damn busy they are. High priority cases always take presidence over long time missing persons. It is just what happens. They can't spend all their time on one file unfortunately.
@@rainman7992 so are the police, undertakers/funeral homes, burial plot owners, morgues, autopsies and so many more people. If they didn't make money, then how could they possibly deal with the dead? If they can't support themselves, just saying; you don't want that, there would be carnage and force the families to deal with their dead themselves. So many people would have to be exposed to death in a way, that most people would prefer not to.
So i say, good, as long as they aren't being disrespectful with the deceased- which they aren't- then I'm glad they can support themselves as they support the community. Have you thought of that?
As a person who lives near this lake, I am ashamed of how badly you were treated. I am sorry people are so very rude when all you ever wanted was to help. I personally want to thank you and admire what you are doing!
Let your local sheriff know how appalling this behaviour was.
i hope you go in and let them know that people WORLDWIDE watch this and they have badly let their dept down, that deputy should be demoted to toilet cleaning duty.
Hell yes!! You guy's that live in that area need to show that sheriff what social media is all about and blow up his spot!!! My father god rest his soul was the sheriff where we live and he would of flipped his shit!! Completely unprofessional!!
@@johndodge4591 Great answer, They want all the glory.
@@ellijaygal Not sure that's a good idea. Jared did update and say mot to call or talk bad about the situation as the offer reached out and apologized. AWP tries their hardest to keep on the good side of the law in doing these searches. Yeah maybe the guy had a bad day or maybe he felt Jared was stepping on toes in their areas because they think it makes law enforcement look bad. whatever the reason. Jared said to leave it be.
I live just 20 minutes from Fern Ridge (otherwise known as "The dirty ditch" to locals) and have spent many summers in our boat wakeboarding along the dam in this same location. In fact, my first time on a boat was at this lake. My heart was in my throat the entire time I was watching this video. I am so sorry for the loss of Kevin and I appreciate all you do to help so many families find their loved ones. I am sorry that you two were treated the way you were by the LCSO....Bad day or not, there was no excuse for it. I've watched enough of your videos to know that you don't do this for kudos, you do this for the pure love of helping people, so I'm ashamed that you were treated that way by one of our local Sheriff's deputies. Thank you for the constant reminder to wear a life jacket. If there's anything to come out of this, I can assure you that my two boys will learn this from a very young age and we will lead by example EVERY SINGLE TIME we are in, on, or near the water. Sending you much love and appreciation from Eugene.
RIP Kevin. I hope your family and loved ones find comfort and peace in the midst of your loss. 💔
I grew up spending a lot of time on the water with my dad. I absolutely hated wearing our life jackets, and took every opportunity to remind my dad about it. He was great... It was fine for me to hate it, as long as I was wearing it. He taught me from an early age that accidents happen, but you need to plan ahead as much as possible... So I wore the stinky, uncomfortable vest and was safer. 😁
The reason the sheriff’s dept acted like that is because they know they didn’t do anything to solve those disappearances. they look like the lazy fat slobs that hang out at the donut shop that they are. They can’t stand that somebody else is out there doing their job for free and showing them up. These are the kind of people who should not be police officers.
I hope you marched down to the police dept and expressed your anger towards how these guys were treated.
Am I the only only one who never heard of "wake boarding"? What does that mean? Help!!!
@@craigdobis10 Do a RUclips search for it... There's great video explaining it so much better than I can. 😁 It looks really fun!
That Sheriff needs to talk to the Sheriff from Missouri, he could learn a few things when it comes to being polite.
The sheriff of Davidson County NC did the same thing to AWP and my sister Judy Riley when we were looking for my nephew Nick Allen. I love AWP you are awesome, keep doing what you do.
That was truly bad. I have no ideal how he could feel good about himself at all. I would love for him to be fired. He is not fit to do his job.
Amen...that Sheriff did talk to Jared terribly....and did Jared and Sam so bad about Nicolas Allen's case...that joker needed firing on the spot...
Yeh I saw that.You have been watching and commenting on all of these like me 👍.These people are fantastic.Its hard not to get addicted to these.
Most Oregon cops are pigs.
Thoughts and hugs and prayers with you always. I was just telling my daughter about what you went through 🙏❤️🙏
I can’t believe the sheriff was so rude, you guys are out there helping them to help the families get some closure… you guys are amazing, helping out all voluntarily
I've know the Lane County Sheriffs and they are pompous little men with ego problems!
@@patgorham4796 Yeah, they were very territorial. Dismissing AWP who have dared to do things that they would never do. It seemed more like they were protecting something/someone; like they were afraid they were going to be exposed.
Well everyone somewhere always says cops are assholes and I guess some just are .
With all due respect to law enforcement..I would want AWP to be out searching for my family..Ive seen several of your rescues and you Jerrod and your crew have the water current down to the tee..especially when cars are involved ..and you figure out where when ..etc..and you work from the heart,as if they are your family..Thank you ✌
Jerod has true gift AWP
THEY WORK TOGETHER FROM THE HEART
FOR SURE!
I love your rescues Jerrod u and your team are awesome keep up the loveing and caring woke May the Lord bless and keep u all safe .from Zimbabwe.
Law enforcement isn't the be all end all. Anyone who finds the missing should be appreciated.
They were very egotistical. The news release states they and he family found him. What a crock.
My heart was pounding when those kind people brought you food and gas. You guys are so awesome!!
To Kevin's family... I am so sorry for your loss and you have my condolences. To AWP... You continue to be an amazing group with nothing but love in your hearts. Keep on keeping on. You are what is right in this world. To Lane County sheriffs office... You are an example of what is wrong and disgusting in law enforcement today. You should be ashamed.
I'm sorry but some of the family seemed to be more worried about getting credit for finding him than anything else. They did end up telling the news that they found him Friday at 1 PM
@@sassafrasandthorwanchese1630 I believe his body was actually found before that, just my opinion. In the end all that matters is Kevin's body was found.

My deepest condolences to Kevin’s family and friends.
Agreed
That is not the attitude a person that serves the people, should have towards ANYONE trying to help! He needs to be taken out of that job, and replaced! You know, if the family was upset that you had a camera, all they had to do, was to say so! I hate to say it, but I think the family might of complained, which mystifies me, as if it was MY brother, I'd want anyone, and everyone trying to find him, even if there were cameras! Maybe HE wanted the recognition for finding him, which he should of said! And if they found him, why wait? And who looks at a stump for fifteen minutes? The whole thing is weird! You guys did your best! And if I wasn't a Christian, I'd call that deputy a name I can't say! Good job guys! Go where people are nice!
I have dealt with the police at several accident scenes as a Recovery operator and you can very quickly tell the good men and woman from the one's that are just there to collect a pay check rather serve the public. We all need work together as many rather than the one.
Based on the reaction by the family on the boat and the fact that they didn’t go back until after Jared & Doug found something, leads me to believe there is a much different story then what came out on the news. There is a reason they didn’t want Jared to do the dive and I believe it was to hide the truth, but since Jared & Doug went out there and there became so much public knowledge they felt they had to suddenly go back out or too many questions would be asked. I am a huge supporter of law enforcement but there are A LOT of questions about this situation sadly and they were wrong for how they treated Jared and Doug.
Yep, there's a polecat in the hen house somewheres!
Especially our PD's are experts at hiding things more often than exposing things. Money talks, power influential. With all that, mistakes are made that make police, not just look bad, but incompetent. The same powers that be, shut down LivePD. Don't know about others, but I saw "a lot" of excessive force and prejudice within the PD's.
I bet anything, that this particular case of drowning you'd find that somebody associated with the family have an intimate relationship with the local PD on some level. Our PD's are grasping for situations that make them look every penny, worthy of their hire.
@@charitywooten2135 From the moment the buoy was dropped the family raced over trying to see what they marked,but didn't bother speaking. They wanted the credit and according to the news the family took all credit!!
I watch you all spend your time doing this to help a mom and dad and a wife to bring them home I know I was twelve years old and screaming daddy brother is not coming up .My dad jump in and almost lost him.so Jerad the almighty is proud of you all for doing what you do. And keep up what you do..I am a great grand mother and if any thing like that I hope someone Like you all are around I can get help. You all are great.
These people should be ashamed and angry at themselves for not taking missing people cases seriously. It's like they only check the surface area and are too egomaniac to get their hands dirty.
I'm so addicted to this channel and my heart is overlfowing with appreciation and joy of what you and your team do. You do it out of compassion, empathy, and to top it off: without expecting anything in return except for the satisfaction of setting closure for grieving families. You even take in cold cases that stretch over fifty years. That makes me tear up.
Thank you so much for what you do despite the constant backlash from the people who have no right to do so since they chose to give up.
Much love, respect, and honour to you and your team from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
DISGUSTING!!!!! They actually moved the buoy. HE IS DEFINITELY THERE! Great job guys, you for sure found him. They moved it so as to be able to say they found him and you were off. Just sick. Good thing I’m not a citizen of this area I’d be throwing mental fits to remove this sheriff. Wow. I’m literally sickened by this.
Did this really happen?
@@mwamwa3488 no the family found him floating a day or two later.
You see when you guys went over to the rocks and those 2 guys gave you a cooler with food and drinks and the interaction you guys had thats the way all of us human beings should be towards each this world would be soo much better and prob wouldnt have homeless either it makes my heart smile really does love yall for what you do.
Exactly! Random people uninvolved with the rescue showing up to bring food and drinks to the men who are donating their time to help in a search and recovery, to tell them how much they are appreciated, to even give a cash donation, and just say thank you vs. a victim's family and law enforcement treating those same men as if they were one step above a serial killer? I mean really??? What is wrong with this picture?
How do i become a member? Gladys Doney. Plains Montana.
I just found you all a couple of weeks ago, and I love what you all do. When you all find a missing family member I cry for the family. Thank you all for what you do, keep up the amazing work you do.
I live 3 minutes from the lake and have water and electric hook up for RV on my farm. Your welcome to stay here instead of commuting. That's pretty late to get home and turn around again. I have a separate driveway for the RV area.
You are a kind soul, wouldn’t it be a nicer world to live in. Thank you for your kindness ❤️🙏☘️☘️
I live a couple minute away from it too, fish for the nasty carp all summer😂
Good people exist! 🤓👍🏻
Your offer is so sweet. I know my post is a few months late, but I wanted you to know that you are very kind!
Thank you for sharing about safety on water.
As a fellow rescue diver I only have one word to say to you. Respect.
They're not "Rescue Divers", that would mean they are saving people's lives. They're strictly 'Recovery Divers' who come in after the fact is established that someone hasn't survived and is missing. That being said, they're damn good at what they do. There's a place for both types of divers in this world. Keep doing what you do, too!
I just found this site yesterday and then this lengthy episode, which in all honesty sort of freaked me out and brought back some long buried memories. I came very close to drowning at Fern Ridge way back in the summer of 1972, and some of the shots, particularly those showing the sun going down over the lake were eerie to me. Late afternoon/early evening 4 of us (all teens) decided to paddle across the reservoir in a homemade 4-person fiberglass canoe. Starting at a canal/slough area that is a wildlife preserve on the east side of the lake, we ultimately paddled onto the reservoir and began crossing at perhaps its widest point east to west (I'm guessing maybe 2-3 miles across.) Of course, being 16-18 years old, none of us wore life jackets...and worse, one of us couldn't even swim. To make a long story shorter, we ended up tipping the canoe over after some horsing around...approx halfway across. Making sure to grab our non-swimming friend and holding onto the canoe we were confident we could tip it rightside up again but after an exhausting 20-30 minutes of trying discovered we couldn't...the thing was just too heavy. The boat had two air pockets (front & rear) and one collapsed almost immediately, leaving 4 increasingly alarmed kids swimming in tight circles around the single front tip of the canoe...and it was getting dark and the wind had picked up, creating small whitecaps on the lake. Anyway, there's more to the saga but once realizing we were in serious trouble we began yelling for help because to this day although I think I could have made it to shore, there was no way our non-swimmer could have, and we were all so tired by that time, I don't think any of us could have helped him make it ashore. Thankfully, someone on shore heard us and called the sheriffs dept, who came and saved us after about a half hour of dod-paddling, towing the heavy canoe in. All told, we were in the water for about an hour and a half and what started as fun and horseplay almost ended in total tragedy. I've remained friends with all those in the lake with me that night and thinking particularly of the friend who can't swim, sometimes consider how all our lives (his future wife, kids, and family) would have changed forever that night and it gives me the chills. I live in Washington state now and raised four boys of my own but that incident made me crazy about making sure they never went close to water without life jackets and they all learned to swim at a very early age. Anyway, seeing this video (it all looks the same) with the sun going down was really strange. And, oh, yes...the sheriff was not the niceest guy either, but he had good reason not to be...that said, the guy in this video shouldn't be in law enforcement. Sorry, too long a tale but it's still a vivid experience even after all these years...and these guys are true heroes for the work they do to help grieving families through some awful moments in their lives. So sorry for the loss of life here...R.I.P.
Thanks for sharing. Yeah, life changes in a matter of seconds, minutes. God was truly watching over you all that day probably due to mother's steadfast prayers
JARED & DOUG I've recovered drowning victims and grew up on an island off NC. Thats not a stump. Jared trust your gut brother!! If I'm wrong so be it, but I think you already know. Sympathy for his family, especially his wife and kids. Heartbreaking.
Wow. What a disappointment. Wonder if the family knows they rebuffed your help. Wow
Lot of different teams want to get involved. Most aren’t slightly Qualified. AWP is Overqualified.👍
@@laker3 Yes of course. lol
@@chuck26241 yes of course they did 🙄
@@LazloNQ I agree.
The jackass Sherriff sure didn't mind taking credit for finding Kevin this morning. I just read the article on the local news. He didn't even give you guys any credit for locating him. Keep up the good work!
Y'all are great
I figured they found him. Jerks didn't bring up the body till the next morning probably .
Whos the local news for this case... I'm calling them out
@@southerngrits they FOR SURE wrapped the body in the water, it don't take 15 minutes to identify a tree stump, rock or other such item. They felt real little about them not finding Kevin's body.
Man, I wouldn't want to find myself handcuffed to a chair in a room with this Sherriff! He has issues.
Sad that some individuals are so intimidated by great people
like your AWP group. Keep doing what you do please. Your
results speak for themselves and families of missing loved
ones are beyond grateful for your efforts🥰❤️
We all know who actually located Kevin Carlisle. It’s very sad that the family could not, at least, respect your sacrifices to help them locate their loved one. Some people still have really skewed ideas of You Tubers, because of historical stupidity that has gone on. It would take seconds to confirm that Adventures With Purpose is not a glory-seeking frivolous channel. Local law enforcement and this family did not bother. Walk with pride, guys. You bring peace to bereaved families.
You know what? If the original sonar image located by Jared WAS actually a stump, the stump will still be there! And Jared has the coordinates. If it were me, I'd go back and see if the "stump" was still there.
Makes you wonder if the sheriff had so much hate against them if the victim was down there caught on debris and the freed him to let him float farther down so they could find him. No way they were under water that long for a stump. No way!
The patience you guys have is astounding. Even the family was so ungrateful for the help
The family may have been so distraught that thank you wasn't in their vocabulary. What a terrible time for them!
You guys amaze me! Your equipment seems to be flawless.
Just ignore the nay sayers out there, keep up the fantastic work you do!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
As one who has lost a family member to the murky waters of Fern Ridge Lake, I too am saddened by the comment & actions of that deputy. I lost my brother in 1958 and at that time the sheriff's office couldn't have been nicer. A lot of things have changed over the years for sure.
@@ToysRUsKid76, thank you for your thoughts.
I am so very sorry Harold. Myself, my adult children and my grandchildren love to go to Fern Ridge. This segment has certainly raised my awareness. Bless you.
Have you ever heard of Black Water? That is who trains the police now. They are UN police. Black uniforms say it all. They used to be BLUE and friendly.
I’m so impressed with how you honored the family and their wishes - for “privacy”, for the story to be told their way (not how portrayed in the media), and waiting for local law enforcement to handle confirmation of your target. All while you were being incredibly gracious to them and at least the brother was being rude and insulting to you. I’m sorry but at the very least you deserved civility. Just by watching the video it is clear that strange things were going on and I have no doubt that the target you found was indeed Kevin. Thank you for bringing him home!
Me and my husband want to thank you and your team for what you do to help families get closure and put their family members to rest. That means a lot to people in their position of total uncertainty.
I was somewhat baffled by a couple of times by people's almost ungrateful sounding remarks to your more than generous help and services offered there? I don't know, maybe I am reading too far into it. You guys are too amazing and generous and wonderfully skilled at what you do, FOR FREE, to be treated or spoken to poorly or taken for granted in any way. Anyone lucky enough to receive your help is so blessed!
Yeah world's going to hell when people like that are given the same freedoms as the tender hearts.
The biggest shock I ever had was that when my body hit really cold water, I reflexively inhaled in response. Didn’t matter that I knew I was heading underwater, the gasp happened. Autonomic system rules. I’m a strong swimmer, never knew that extreme cold could provoke that.
Man, you guys absolutely are fulfilling your purpose in life. I don't know how to express the amount of honor you've deserved. If I were a rich man I'd cut you a check for $1M right now just to support your integrity. Thank you for being.
Was thinking the same thing💖
After watching a few when popped up ..I agree wish I had money or what ever you need. I sit and cry. It amazes me how different people who are players in tragedy react. Makes me wish I could dive.
Nah..if you were rich your heart would have turned to stone like so many.
@@koro287 you're projecting
@@kevinkinney5445 I think its probably true both of us are projecting right ?
Hey guys just wanted to say Thank You!! Whatever set off the sheriff is on him, you guys volunteered and helped with skills and tools many of us know nothing about and without you guys they probably wouldn't even have a starting point. I'm baffled as to why the family wouldn't want your help especially when you don't charge for it, and yet again that's on them. Appreciate you guys! GOD Bless you and your efforts guys as you move on to help another family!
Can I just say Kuddos to your families for their support of what you do? You are away a lot and I know as a military wife how important it is to you to know you have them behind you. Keep up the good work. It’s so valuable. Thank you for what you do.
I really appreciate y'all not cussing. It's a pleasure to watch something that brings closure to so many families. Y'all are awesome. And yes TN reports incorrect news ALL the time. It's sad.
I don't know if the sheriff knows this. Being bias shouldn't be. In any law officer job duty. While on duty and wearing the uniform. Any officer representing the law. Personal feelings should not factor in, but kept at home. If a law officer can't separate the two. He shouldn't have the position. The sheriff should have thanked AWP graciously. It didn't cost the sheriff's dept. a dime nor man power. ⚖️⚖️
It just messed up that Sheriff's lazy planned day...
On the subject of life jackets. Have you thought about having them for sale on your website? I really think that if you're passionate about it, then you should consider selling them. I'm in the UK and it's encouraged that fishermen fishing from rocks should wear them. It takes one rogue wave to knock you off your feet and into the water; you don't need to be ON the water to need them. I live near the sea and hear reports of fatalities every year. BTW do you ship merchandise outside of the US?
You weren’t treated right by anybody involved. Not even a thank you.
I am assured that if this is the townspeople action, they don’t hear “everyone is so friendly here “ or read letters of how we welcomed them and tried to make their visit or wait while car was being repaired, in our city of. 6,000. Drop in stay awhile in Perry, Oklahoma.
Jared and all staff are you putting on sun screen and re apply during the day? The exposure you get now will show up in older age. I am enjoying your adventure with purpose.
Im so sorry that you were treated this way by one of our sherrifs. He should really be ashamed of himself!
You guy's in that area need to blow up the sheriff's spot on social media!! Show him what we the people can do with social media Embarrass him and get him out of office!! PLEASE!!
Thank you for updating us yeah I was up all night wondering how what had happened when I saw this particular one yeah I noticed there was a lot of little backstabbing remarks coming from one side here but I'm glad everybody is okay now and the gentleman is at home with his family you know at peace his souls at peace now thank you ever so much
Bet this Sheriff Deputy hasn’t been Missing a Child. He needs to Find a Different Line of Work.🤪👎
@@KarinaTheDreama AMEN...!!!
The sheriff is a liar that definitely was the body under the water
Yes it was, u could see it clear as day😢
They found him early the next morning after awp left, makes me wonder if they tied a line to the body while they were down there, then picked him up the next morning to not lose face.
@@davidwest3903 I have no doubt that's exactly what they did. The way that marker buoy kept moving was strange, too. At least twice I saw it move AGAINST the wind, which is something that simply does not happen unless something/someone is pulling it around.
I live in Springfield, Oregon and just found your channel yesterday, I used to be a volunteer firefighter and water rescue tech in Lowell. It is not easy to locate a person in or around any body of water. I would have delivered some gas to you if I had found your channel before this video was made.
I was a Deputy in my home town, EMT and helped out at the funeral home my friend owned during his life. I can tell you that it's unfortunate that there are officers and Deputies like this. I can also tell you that there are times when you can't say anything but in those cases my response was I'm sorry I just can't release information at this time. Never have I or anyone I've worked with ever acted this way toward anyone who was trying to help. Or if there was a cross word said that person would always come back and apologize.
Thank you for sharing your story and for the selflessness of the work in personal community.
Apparently, this young man has been found. It's on the news for 6 to 7 hours ago. It's amazing how the police found this man's body when AWP was out there. Who knew, right? AWP, I support all that you are doing. We ALL know who found Kevin.
I was thinking the same thing. I bet that was Kevin that AWP found and the deputy was embarrassed an outsider found him.
@@djdezyn8838 an outsider there from Oregon where he drowned and ya for sure that was deff Kevin they removed the bouy and took all the credit bc they were embarrassed that they didn’t locate him sooner and for them to be down 20 minutes for a stump is highly unlikely if that was the case they should’ve only been down 5 minutes tops
Was the body where they dove, where JARED marked the spot. What did the police have them secure the body and the nerve so they weren't outshined...WE SHOULD CALL THE LOCAL NEWS AND LOAD THEM WITH CALLS OF THE TRUE STORY
That's right...Jared found him...NOT his family...and surely NOT that ugly mouth Sheriff...
Amen,you did.
Thank you guys for all that you do, my son drowned when he was 17 years old and wasn't wearing a best, I wish I had known then what I know from watching you guys thanks again
I’m so sorry. I lost my son under different circumstances. I know your pain.
I watched it all live and all I can say is that I hope that "brother" can live with himself. I said it last night and I'll say it again, 10 second confirmation with a mask and snorkel, no wasting of resources and everyone's time, hours later. Those cops were acting like most firefighters I've run into....That brother? unusual.
Ego and jealousy from official law institutions is a terrible thing. Praise God they're not all like that.
We deal with that here in Maine DEEMI is very similar to AWP in Medical SAR
Liberal minded law officers, big attitudes because of a badge, loyalty to the government, not to the people. You guys keep up the great job you do, people appreciate your care and love to people.
I hate our government. It is getting too big and infringing on our freedom
Wow! I'm so sorry for the horrible reception you received from the Deputy. So uncalled for. I see Kevin was found today. Thank goodness for that! Probably because of you guys! You are doing God's work!! Keep going!!
Adventures with Purpose, Jared, I have to question the friendship with Jim. Has he not reached out to you, or any of the family to show their appreciation for what yall did? It's not just the rude deputy but sounds like all involved. Sometimes people are just stupid, to put it nicely.
I agree. He doesn't sound like he's on the up and up
I will give Jim the benefit of doubt. Hos actions and job were probably under the control of the sheriff.
I agree! My first thoughts were "Jim" stay clear of anything, anyone that has brought sketchiness to your work!
I was wondering about Jim too. Wouldn’t he have told Jared if it WAS or WASN’T Kevin maybe a few days later?
Just discovered you recently. Anytime you are in Eugene, or outlying area and need some help, PM. I can feed you or be a chaser of things or even family members that you may feel should not drive due to being emotional. It would be an honor to help. I grew up going to Fern Ridge or the "Lake" as referenced by my neighborhood. I can't swim, I wear my life jacket! Use to raft S Umpqua few times/wk during the season. Take care. I LOVE Hawaiian Time, Mauna Loa Chicken.
The cops are embarrassed that AWP did something on a small budget that they could not do with their large resources.
@@Ateezwooyoung If you are correct, why did they give the AWP such a hard time and why were they so nasty? They should have thanked AWP.
They have large egos.
and in a small amount of time!
@@Ateezwooyoung If the police department can't do a good job, might as well they hang up their badges and go find another job. Let others who can do a better job do it.
@@airadaimagery692 Their egos are bigger than their useless balls.
Good Morning, Jared and Doug! I watched your search from start to finish last night and I’m so sorry you were treated with such disrespect. You showed nothing but compassion, sensitivity and professionalism! I’m proud of AWP and everything they do and stand for! God has used you greatly and will continue to do so in the future! ❤️🙏
I totally agree, WEARING life jackets has to be MANDATORY. I was seconds away from drowning and yes I'd been a very strong swimmer however, when underwater and upside down orientation is COMPLETELY messed up. You don't have time to figure out where the lifejackets are when you're trying to stay afloat.
I was always against mandatory life jacket, until this very same thing happened to me. Now, I understand how ignorant I was. It’s a split second between life and death.
My brother was a drowning victim He was a strong swimmer That is why a life jacket is important and to get the message out there
My condolences to you and your family!
Sorry about your brother. My husband lost his much loved cousin when they were teenagers in a drowning accident. May God comfort you.
Sorry for the loss of your brother. I've lost 2 brothers suddenly. Also my father and then my husband of 27yrs. 😥
So sorry about your brother. 💔😢
We love Jared and his good hearted diving friends for their sacrifices and devotion. I think the family was misled by the Sheriff. The family was grieving and bombarded by the news and I think it's just that simple. We know Jared and his friends are humble and selfless.
Must be hard to sit like that for hours. Love you guys . GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE
I'm shocked the family didnt stand up and mention AWP.. WE ALL KNOW LOCAL LE DIDNT FIND KEVIN. AND ITS THE TRUTH THAT GETS AWP WHERE THEY ARE TODAY.
I really don't understand the people that have complained about members getting videos early, it's ridiculous. Everyone gets the videos eventually.
I'll admit, I've been a bit gutted to know I could have seen videos sooner etc. But as soon as I'm back in a more stable employment I'll be becoming a member and buying merch. It's that simple.
People are just entitled. These men leave their families behind to do this work. This is physically, mentally, and emotionally taxing work. NOTHING is wrong with getting a little money for it. I've been following from when he was picking up rubbish in the rivers. I live in another country, my currency conversion is high but as soon as I get money I will become a member.
I just started doing the five dollar a month one. Jared actually grew up in the town I’m from. We went to the same high school. But I’m old enough to be his mother. But I wanted to help a local boy in someway so I just did the cheap one because I’m on a fixed income. But you are helping by being subscribers
I was born in Roseburg, Oregon then raised between Estacada, Ore & Christmas Valley, Oregon..So I pretty much know exactly where you guy's are at.. ANYHOW GOD BLESS YOU ALL & THE MULTITUDES OF FAMILIES THAT YOU HAVE HELPED !!!! & LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT YOUR WIFE'S & GF 'S !?!!
Honestly, it doesn't seem that this family wants your help. Maybe it's time to help another family that actually appreciates your services?
I agree. The family is suspicious and controlling. They already started a fight with the Press and they are clearly not open to outsiders at all.
So if the family wanted him dead he doesn’t deserve to have someone that does care?
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 I agree, he needs to be found and put at rest properly. Nobody should be out there and fishing to find something they are traumatized but either.
@@davidwoermansr It is just odd because there wasn't a whole lot of details at all. Just that a child was in the water and the father was trying to save him and drown.
@@davidwoermansr Oh, the ones I did watch didn't mention anything negative at all.
Police hate being exposed for what they are. I hope he is made to answer for his statement. Don't allow him to get in the way of your amazing work.
Just came up on the news that the 17 year old surfer at the park here in Bend, Oregon has passed. My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of this young man.
I couldn't believe how the sherriff acted towards you out on the water much less what he said to you on the ramp. Hope to heck the TYRANT losses his job!!!! And I hope the family at LEAST said 'thank you' - I kinda of doubt they did tho.
Amen. The family told news sources they found him.
@@sassafrasandthorwanchese1630 The family didn't find squat.Sheriff didn't ..Jared found him..!!!..
I can’t believe how rude, evasive and defensive some U.S. L.E.O’s are. “To swerve and prevent” must now have replaced “ to serve and protect”. Keep doing what you do best AWP.
The ignorance of this sheriff is unbelievable! Sad to deal with such individuals. Keep up the good work AWP and a big thank you to your team for jobs well done!
I have some choice words for that Sheriff but I will refrain from using them. He should be thoroughly ashamed of himself and his agency! 🤐
Here is a link to their FB; Please join us in leaving a few choice words! business.facebook.com/LaneCountySheriffsOffice/
The sheriff department should all jumped into the lake for all their jealously and seriousness.
@@missourikatt Jared ask everyone to PLEASE do NOT do this...!!!
Jared, I am always impressed by your integrity. Keep taking the high road, is a witness to thousands. Wondering if you all should focus on the cases where you have been asked to help. There are so many of them and you wouldn’t run into the problems you’ve had with this case. Wishing you all the best and thank you for your service to the broken and hurting.
My son's girlfriend bought an inflatable paddle board, the first ting she did before she got it home and inflated it was to buy a live jacket, she is a non swimmer. Doug, I read her the stats you gave out about the number of drownings each year in the States. I am sure Canada see our fair share of drownings every year also. Thank you for those stats, she river tubing with no life vest either, she promised me this summer she would wear one.
What an ungrateful SOB,,, shame on him for being so disrespectful to Jarred.
Hey Jared remember when your outstanding you stand out, those cops don't like you guys because you walk your talk!! Peace brother!
Thank you guys for all you do. A huge THANK YOU TO YOUR FAMILIES FOR THEIR SACRIFICE THAT THEY MAKE IN YOU BEING ON THE WATERS, 💙😇🦋
I remember Jared finding the man in Feb. and was told to take his marker off and then they sadly couldn't find the car again themselves. They had to come back and have Jared relocate the car for them. Talk about having egg on their face! I thought that guy was a big enough man though to come back and apologize after the fact.
I hate that this happened; this isn't the first time you've gone through this and sadly, I'm sure it won't be the last time. I just buried my 20 yr. retired police officer brother-in-law, Ken. Jared would probably say this also, don't lump all the good police and sheriff officers and their departments together with the really small amount of total JERK individuals.
If this was the deputy sheriff that acted this way, then the sheriff needs to be made aware of the incident.
Sorry for your loss, I agree not all sheriffs are bad. But sometimes one bad apple makes the rest look bad.. the AWP are the prime example of goodness and grace 🙏🙏☘️☘️☘️
I unfortunately was unable to watch the live so I'm watching now. I'm at 1:21:33 where they are talking about people asking why are they doing this and not allowing the Police Departments do it. As they were saying not a lot of PD's have had the adequate training and if you are a follower of this channel they have touched on this many times. I'm going to speak on something people may not want to hear and that is everyone is so quick to jump on the bandwagon of defunding the police departments. What do you think is the first things to go??? The water rescue teams and any other departments within the PD's that can save money then its the staff. Also, I don't even have a clue on this answer but I would like to know how many PD/SO's even have a water recue unit or access to one. I'm sure its not as great of a number that we all wish it was. AWP is providing an amazing service to this country. And, no I'm not with or have family members that are in law enforcement. I just observe and listen. There is no way most small counties or towns can have access to water rescue. Most can barely keep the doors open. I want to ask those who are so quick to jump on here and question these amazing men to please stop and think about what you are about to say and then think about it again. They are giving up time with their families to help bring loved ones home. I can't even imagine having someone missing and not have a team like AWP to turn to. Thank you Jared, Sam, Dan and everyone else involved with AWP for what you have done, what you did in this video and what you continue to do. Keep up the good work.
I was a volunteer firefighter for a long time and I wanted to let yall kno I love what yall do for all the family's lives.
You're neat Jared, you've climbed your way up from a bad place , that you found yourself in, to fulfill your calling and help mankind . You have also created an online family.
Some cops are just pricks, and they wonder why people won't cooperate. Don't let it bother you.You guys are doing a great job and they get mad at your success when they couldn't find him.. RIP Kevin
GOD BLESS and THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO. After listening to you about life vests it got me to thinking in the summer about my family spending a lot of time on the lake in a pontoon boat. We need all of our passengers need to be wearing life vest. Thank you for your reminder of safety.
So sorry to know you were treated with such disdain by a person who is supposed to be a peace keeper.
I cried when you spotted the target and was so hopeful about it being Kevin. It stirred my spirit the way you are careful and respectful. Keep your spirits up and don't allow someone else's misery interpret who you are. You are much needed and appreciated.
I am a weak swimmer but I am really good at floating... I have sailed offshore single handing for years. Before going on deck even on calm days I used tethers and life jackets religiously. I have been thrown from the deck by rogue winds and waves out of the blue. Having nearly choked to death on a hotdog at a young age taught me a great deal about being cautious when alone.
I don't understand boating whithout a lifejacket. I can remember boating since I was a toddler in the 70's! We ALWAYS had life jackets on, both adults and children! Remember this is a time when, we didn't even have car seats as children!
My husband is a strong man swims. When we took our boat out to the inlet water a few weeks ago, he got out of boat to put stern anchor out, the current was so strong he had to hold on to the anchor rope to keep from being swept out to the Atlantic. And we were in water just below the waste at an island. So don't think because you can reach and are in shallow water nothing will happen, it can. I appreciate all you guys do.
My dad had us at the lake when I was young to fish and ski. My dad did not drink alcohol (thank God he hated it) and NEVER went on the lake without a life vest. That was in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. Those were the big fat orange ones back then. I would never go with anyone else. Water is serious business.
Oh and by the way the person I was with he drowned. You don't ' need to know how to swim. If you can bicycle your legs and move your arms that's swimming. That will keep you afloat. Just move your legs move your arms. You don't have to move them around wild just move them. Pick a spot in the horizon and swim towards it don't take your eye off the target. That's the advice my friend gave me before he drowned. And it saved my life
They didn’t give credit where credit was deserved awp found him. But lane county sheriffs took credit
Yes of course they moved the body lastnight that's why they were down there for 20 minutes and told Jared I don't like you
It like Jared said their not in it for the glory and he always shows everyone respect no matter how he is treated and I think that is what pulls you in. I just love what they do in bringing closure to family.
The family took credit
First and foremost, you guys are amazing for doing what you do. I wish that my daughter would watch this video. She lives in Florida with 4 of my grandsons. Her husband takes their family out on their boat and they do NOT put life jackets on my grandsons. I am terrified of the possible outcome.
You guys are amazing. I love what you do!
That was so wonderful of you to take your time and $ as usual to help a family find their loved one, but the the whole situation was weird! What was this family hiding? It was shameful to watch the two of you being treated like you were but you both handled it with the utmost dignity. Thank you for all you do!!
Yeah.,. I wondered that too! Even if it was suicide, you would still want to have them found! Squirrelly for sure!
Also, it's important to mention, that where/when drownings have occurred, TYPICALLY (but of course not always) ALCOHOL IS A FACTOR.
PLEASE KEEP THIS, AS WELL AS THE IMPORTANCE OF LIFE JACKETS, IN MIND WHENEVER OUT ON THE LAKE, RIVER, ETC.
Especially with this upcoming 4th of July holiday weekend.
Happy 4th.
Have fun.
Be safe.
💜
I was in a very serious boating accident many years ago we did a lot of stupid things that led up to the boat sinking well that's kind of besides the point. Best advice I would give anybody is get control of yourself and do not panic. Panic will kill you. I panicked at first and then got a hold of myself. Panic will keep you from thinking. All I needed to do was swim. And that's what I did. But panic seriously I would have drowned . No doubt I would have drowned if I had continued to panic. Keep your wits about you.
So basically the cops ignorance was him verifying the target was Kevin. Good Job AWP.
Nobody ever wrote a song called
"F the fire department" 🤷
I love what you do to help others , my mother lost a brother to a drowning when she was 30 and he was 28 . It was a suspicious drowning and they never found him , my mother passed away in 2018 and weeks before that she broke down crying wishing that she knew what had actually happened and where he was
Thank you for your dedication! ❤️ Our family lost an uncle who was caught up in a flash flood and drowned 10 years ago. The family finally found his body 1 month later. Please wear a life vest! It saves lives! Our uncle was an excellent swimmer as well, but the river took him.
🤔 Coincidentally Kevin was finally recovered a short time after AWP was there, located a target and then was so rudely treated. Thanks AWP for making the sheriffs department look good.
Make them look good? *No-one could possibly do that!* Divers surfaced (and body seemed to be lifted, divers having drifted from buoy) only once AWP (and likely observers ashore) were obscured by Sheriff's boat. Total arrogance. Utter Jobsworths! "Cant let you see that, more than me job's worth to let you see that!"
and they reported that they (the family and sheriff) found his body around 1pm on the day this was filmed....
I wonder how?
Just to let you know I'm happy y’all are talking about safety and wearing life jackets. So very important. I remember a time when I was a teenager and I went with my friend and her family on a vacation to the Rio Grande. We begged her mom to let us go down to the water and she only let us go after we promised not to get in the water. Well being teenagers we started wadding in and the current started pulling us both further out. We started screaming and her family had to come in after us. My friend had three older brothers and they along with her father had to come help us. It's something I'll never forget. The current pulled me one way while pulling her another. Her family went after her first and then me. I'm not sure how many times my friend was pulled under but I know it was at least 3 times for me. I just kept kicking and fighting and it finally pulled me down to a part of land I could get up on, then I waited for them to come get me with the boat. We were both lucky to be alive along with her father and brothers. So very thankful and know God was there for us. Needless to say though we left to come back home the next morning. I think it messed up her dad's health after that. I love the water and not afraid of it but sure have a greater respect for it. Thank all of you for teaching a strong support for life jackets. Love your show and all yall do. ❤
Here's a thought too.. when the sheriff said leave you should've said ok give me my anchor and buoy and line. It's my property and it's not needed if it's only marking a tree stump.. right??? Hell it's not needed if it's marking a victim either. If it's your property take it with you and let them drop there own sheriff department anchor and buoy and marker. If they tell you to leave, fine leave and take your stuff with you.. it isn't needed, unless they tied the victim to it! And listen, who says other people can't search for a missing drowning victim? You mean to tell me some sheriff is gonna tell me I can't have other dive teams go search for my kid or dad or brother if they drowned somewhere?? I'd tell him to go pound sand up his ass quicker than anything. There ain't no law prohibiting anyone from helping search for a victim and If their IS some law it needs to be changed. And if some sheriff ever tries to tell me I can't have some dive team help locate my family member he'll be looking for a new job because that's bullshit.
Comments have been made by the family that it was the family that rejected AWP assistance. For certain reasons that I will not be mentioning. Its the families choice
Regardless that does not allow still for the mistreatment of AWP by the deputy at LCSO.
@@awrench99 if the family didn’t want AWP’s help they had their chance to make that clear. I am sure Jared would have respected that. Be aware they wouldn’t have Kevin’s body if it hadn’t been for Jared and his team. We all heard the family say they “ruled that out as the wrong size” because they didn’t know what they were looking for, Jared explained what they were looking at. They didn’t appreciate his help then either.
Amen Robert S. Well said and I agree with you.
Jared thank you for your graciousness and maturity in handling the sheriff. Also for a heart to serve and take care of the families. Well done.
Respect water, always. You are not special no matter how strong your swimming skills!
