CASE DETAILS
Stephanie Torres (43), was last seen December 21, 2017, in Waco, Texas driving her Kia Rio just after midnight.
Starting our day at 9:00, Jacob Grubbs and his team met up with AWP, along with Bianca (Stephanie's Daughter) and Johnathan, (Stephanie's Son) at Brazos Park East.
Working from clues as to the events prior to Stephanie last being seen on December 21st, both dive teams began scanning the Brazos River on the West side of Brazos Park East Boat Ramp.
In less than an hour, our teams identified 3 targets 13 feet underwater at the East Boat Ramp.
After marking the targets in question, Doug and Jacob dove on all 3 vehicles, identifying a Kia Rio matching the description of Miss Torres' car.
The vehicle was upside down, 55' from shore, 13' underwater.
The local Waco Police and Fire Department arrived on the scene and prior to 5 pm, through the efforts of all organizations working together, the vehicle in question was removed, confirming human remains inside.
A full autopsy will need to be conducted before confirmation can be made that Stephanie has been brought home.
The Waco Police Department, Fire Department, Kings Towing, and all involved were very cordial and great to work with, sharing their appreciation of our efforts to bring closure to Stephanie's family.
It is our honor to have brought Stephanie Torres home.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Bianca, Johnathan, and their family during this difficult time.
Hug the ones you love for you never know when it might be the last time you see them.

it’s wild to me that she was RIGHT off the ramp & it took y’all less than an hour to find her yet police couldn’t find her for 4 years. tells you they didn’t look at all.
They just didnt have the experience or the tools most likely
Ong
They don’t care abt her
4 years to long
Maybe they just didn’t think about water.
The fact these men are doing more than the whole justice system & policemen… speaks VOLUMES.
Many of these localities just don't have the resources to do the search the way they should be done. AWP has always been very careful about playing the 'blame' game on local authorities for not finding what they found so quickly. :p What these search divers are doing is absolutely amazing; and it would really be nice if our paid authorities had the resources to devote more time to these cases.
and the whole justice system has to care about more then just one case .. because thats what it simply is: just one case. it sucks to say but thats the truth, there are other families out there who are also missing loved ones, justice system cant be anywhere and also has to care about the daily business.
these guys specialize on this and her family was the lucky ones to get help ( / faster then others ).
could the justice system do more in some areas? yes. but comments like this dont help but spread toxicity towards people who for the most part try to do good. think about your words.
Watch the video where they do a recovery with heavy d they explain why that is
❤️❤️🙋♂️
@@user-lj4yt4zt4r heavy d sparks channel, they do a recovery with them and they explain the reasons why they are able to do more then the police department
What’s heartbreaking is that when Bianca said the reason she didnt reach out initially was because she didn’t think people would care… that brought tears to my eyes. We do care, i promise the world cares. So happy the family has some closure. May she rest in peace!
What got me when he said why didnt you reach out to us and she said she didnt think anyone would care. That was like a punch in the gut. No one should be lost in a vehicle under water all by themselves forgotten about. Glad Stephanie was found.
Genuinely what I was going to say ❤ heartbroken the family thought noone cared
Thank you, Torres family, for sharing this experience. We do care. We really, really do.
Mr.🎉 posted homework
Little does she know, she has a whole community here that care about her
❤❤❤❤
A spokesperson for Waco PD said they had "no reason" to look in the river. With three cars in one location, it seems they don't care to solve anything and it's upsetting. So thankful for this dive team and their compassion and desire to bring answers to loved ones.
It's a funding issue
@@kevinbutton4580 no it isn't, it's a Greed issue, everyone pays taxes, even the unemployed, even our elders, our disabled, our veterans!! everyone is paying into the system but where does our money end up? in the pockets of the already disgustingly wealthy, instead of filling up our local coffers, US is THE RICHEST country in the whole wide world, you guys can afford to give every citizen an incredible life but the super rich control politics and they make laws up as they go along that mean our taxes never come back to our communities
Yeah, Waco PD only cares about making drug charges.
Also those other vehicles are more than likely insurance jobs OR kids that stole it joy rode in it then sent it in the water because of the no plates thing
you should do some research before opening your mouth about law enforcement
I loved the scene where Doug described how to get the car out without breaking the windshield. The level of expertise your team has developed on this is truly breathtaking.
I spent time with app while they were in Lakeland fl and that time gave me a deeper understanding of what they do, they know what they are doing and are good at it. They can't find everyone but they have a great average.
My thoughts exactly!
And as they travel around they share what they have learned and these agencies have more information navigating future recoveries.
Doug owned a towing company and did early recoveries for Jared before actually joining the team and learning to dive :-)
@@julierussell8876 Didn't know that. Thanks for info
According to her daughter Bianca's statements, it seems that she was in distress in the 24 hrs leading up to her disappearance, and she had fixated on water during that time. How the police thought she wasn't in the water is beyond me. I'm just glad that she's home now, and she's back with her family.
she had a bad night and then it is all over. so sad
@@alliinwonder9675 I hope her family don’t read these kinds of insensitive comments.
I suspect the blocking her in was to do with her vehicle & preventing her from drunk driving.
We also know nothing about the kinds of help & interventions they had utilized or had the means & access to..
@@MelaBellaRose AMEN!!!
@@alliinwonder9675 gives you the creeps?! You do know in psychiatric wards where people are on suicide watch, they are locked into the wards for their own safety. This is no different. You really should know what you’re talking about before you write such insensitive comments!
@@alliinwonder9675 it is not always as easy as “take her to a mental ward”. My brother in law was terrible and no one would take him and the police said they couldn’t take him unless he was willing. Well, he was totally unstable! He definitely wasn’t willing. It was horrible. My sisters only recourse was to “lock him in”. EMS wouldn’t take him either unless he was willing. Mental health issues are unbelievably difficult for the family to try to get help!
You people are literally heroes for giving closure to this family.
Fr
Her son is a friend of mine, the pain and damage that this has caused them is heartbreaking… I know they are very thankful to finally know where she was and she is home now. 4 long years they searched for her and they never gave up!!
My thoughts and prayers go out to them. I can’t even imagine what they’re going through. I bawled my eyes watching this. My she Rest In Peace.🙏🏻
awe prayers for her children, so many never get that chance to have a family member returned to them, I am thankful for these young men that return missing family members home, yes alot of people have a hard getting help to find missing loved ones, Thank god for this man. he brought resolution to this family. gave me back my faith in people this video
Please convey my condolences to her family. It's heartbreaking but I'm glad she's home. She was a beautiful lady. 💐
Thank you for being their friend. May you and the Torres folks find peace and some start to comfort. Blessings to all
Many prayers for her family and friends.
As someone terrified of deep water, you gentlemen have my full respect & awe. This type of work is truly not something that just anyone can do.
Im scared of deep water tooo have a phobiaxxx

Watching these videos makes me realize how much better I need to be as a person. If we all helped each other like this the world would be so different.
Stephanie was from my city. I had no idea this happened until recently. I ran in that park. Right by that exact place. I'm also suffering greatly from depression and physical pain and so this is really resonating with me. No one should live in horrible pain like that pain where you come home and cry everyday. It just hit home for me in so many ways. I'm about to go release a really pretty flower into the water in hopes that her spirit is in resting once it left that place. 💜
It really would be a better world. it’s so refreshing to see people out here like this who care about everyone no matter color religion etc. everyone deserves to be found and brought home so they can rest
You guys are inspiration to all of us keep up the great work and God bless
RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT YOU ARE GOD BLESS YOU A M E N
I'm a mother about the same age with suicidal ideation. This crushed me. And helped me so much. How devastating. I love what you do
Sending you lots of love!
Please!! Please do not follow through with ending your life. I hope you’re doing well.
You've got this, mama ❤ stay strong for your baby(ies), they need you.
Whether or not, even if you have adult children, they don't deserve this kind of pain!!
Hello
I'm in Sacramento, CA. A cold case involving a missing airplane carrying 4 passengers has been open since the 60's. About 2 years ago an airplane wreckage was actually discovered 120ft deep in Folsom Lake. Authorities seem disinterested and will not assist. The pilot's body was recovered just after the plane went missing but the other 3 passengers are still missing. Families are still here and need help, do you guys think you could work with an airplane wreckage situation? I'm not related to this case, I just know what it's like to not have closure when a family member goes missing. It would be nice if these families could have this blessing.
They get so many comments, yours is not likely to be read. Emailing them about a case is better.
@@JaneWagman Will do, thank you!
I hope this is seen by them
I really hope your post/email gets seen and I hope they can help bring closure after all this time and hopefully bring the missing people to their families.
YES I THINK WE CAN SWING IT HOW MUCH IS THE REWARD FIRST OF ALL
It’s even more sad to see that they found not just one but three other vehicles I hope those vehicles get brought up and searched
Most likely insurance fraud but could possibly be something else
Insurance fraud is surprisingly common with letting cars go in rivers. These guys are headlining and showing the world about it, I once saw a video where they must have found at least 6 cars underwater, some in weird locations since I didn't think there were means for the cars to get there - but they didn't pull them all up, they just found where the cars were.
@@101Volts that was here in oak ridge tennessee… and there’s now another one as my neighbors daughter tried to commit suicide in the same area.. all the cars are still in the water besides the missing older lady’s they came here for.
I is just so scary I can not belive stuff happens like that
In the Behind the Scenes video, the PD said one of the other cars was stolen out of Austin
I don't think the daughter was ready for this kind of closure. Poor woman
Waco just recently got a dive team.. I believe it’s bc of you guys. The fact that we never had one is insane especially bc of all the drownings around here! Love you guys thank you for solving the 2 cases here! I’m sure there are more. 🤟🏼
Oh wow. That’s amazing. Hopefully there will never be a reason to use it
Most counties don't have dive teams due to budget and overall lack of resources. Some places it's hard for the departments to even have standard equipment because they are not properly funded. Sadly this is reality, but fortunately we have independent organizations like AWP that provide this service when law enforcement can't at the moment.
@senyuri7496 they steal our money but cant afford a diving team?
@@MrsDuck356the federal government "steals" money and then distributes to multiple agencies
@@MrsDuck356...
They'll get a dive team.
Usually it's any relative of the sheriff with a boat, a stocked cooler and a cell phone to use when they get into trouble.
Don't argue with me.
I've seen it.
You guys should make a Netflix series, the amount of time and effort you put into bringing closure while also getting the viewers attention is incredible and I’m almost completely sure this would be super popular
Many people, including myself have wondered about that.
At the moment AWAP own their own ethos and make the family their main focus.
I wonder if being contracted to a network would create conflict with that Ethos.
Or if being contracted would put pressure on the families.
The money would help find others and the coverage would give more credibility to the endeavours.
Just listing some pros and cons. It’s a good thing to query.
Netflix is corrupting
Netflix is woke trash. They can find a better Avenue
It’s more pure to have it on a RUclips channel, you’re you’re own content boss, you decide what you upload and when, they can put more of themselves into the work, no one censoring their actions or deciding what cases they can and can’t take, and honestly while they’re not uploading for the money itself, I’m sure they make more off RUclips than they would a Netflix series as they can decide how frequently they upload and each upload just keeps racking up views which in turn makes more money without having a cap set at “this is how much we’re gonna pay you” almost infinite in a sense which helps them fund their missions and gear and maintenance of said gear, and travel expenses as well. Netflix tends to suck when it comes to making their own series as well. This episode alone felt way more personal and better to watch than most series I’ve seen on Netflix.
meh, for what? These guys essentially already have their own Netflix via their own channel. We shouldnt give too much credence anymore to old media.
Adventures with Purpose and Chaos Divers deserve Federal and States funding for all the work they do in solving missing persons cases. Period! They are specialist, highly trained and solve cases that local Police can't. Their success rate speaks volume! Thank you.
If they got that then the bureaucracy would start.
The "Red Tape" would hold them back!
Exactly, there are strings/chains attached to those funds. Never accept anything that another person/entity can "take" back whenever they so choose.
What they need is a wealthy patron(s) who can give them the funding they need. I mean we can help more modestly, but if they had a a mid 6 figure influx, they could do wonders.
yes they do!
Awwww, May God richly bless them and give them peace. Thank you, Adventures, for bringing another loved one home to rest. 😢❤
I really love how soft spoken the team is with the family, each other and LE. Such respect. Thank you.
This programme makes me realise how many families are suffering with grief, especially of loved ones never found, hoping often in vain for some news,any news that if their loved ones have died,they can Bury them in a dignified and loving manner. These guys are helping some of the families with that,and that is something to treasure.
💯
The way they immediately make it clear that anything that the family doesn’t want to be shown won’t be is just amazing. They aren’t people that are like “oh the cameras are here whether you want them around or not.” They always show that they do this for no other reason other than to help people. They only document it to show people what it’s like to do things like this and the actual process. Which I didn’t even know was a thing, and I definitely had no idea about it. They drive across the country on their OWN time and money, without a single thought of whether or not that they’ll be rewarded with money, thanks, gratitude etc. They’re not in it for the likes, for the clout, for the publicity/popularity. This is their passion. And one that I’m sure they are aware is dangerous.
I can’t believe how this started out as them just cleaning the environment and blossomed into this amazing thing of finding people’s lost loved ones and finally giving them closure and maybe even healing too. Amazing work AWP, I’m rooting for you just like everyone else here! Keep doing what you do best 😁
Well said and 100% true. They are amazing.❤
RIP Stephanie. These guys are so good at interacting with grieving family members. It's clear this is what they were meant to be doing with their lives.
What strikes me most watching these is the sheer number of self harmers who choose this way to go. It's unfathomable to me, and my heart goes out to these families. 😢
It is such a horrible permanent solution to any situation. I understand it though sadly. Sometimes things are just too hard to carry whether mind or body. May all those who choose this choice rest in peace. May the families know their loved one is hopefully in a better place or that their loved one was hurting..
We all care. We do.
The work AWP does… Humanity at it’s very finest.
You described it so well humanity and I will add empathy a wonderful group of people. May God bless the family and all of those who help in finding the deceased family member so closure may begin.
I’m left wondering why the police did not send divers in these rivers to look for the car considering how close she lived to waters. This family suffered so long and these men who brought closure are heroes to all of us. Thank you
Because they are jokes. They really dont give af. Well most of them some are nice.
Likely, because they either don't have the equipment or the expertise. Jared and the guys have said time and again that more often than not, the authorities just do not have the stuff they need to thoroughly dive an area and search it.
@@stormangelus6638 it's not impossible to find those resources or reach out to groups/individuals who may be able to offer the kind of assistance they don't have the equipment or expertise to do themselves. These departments lack the initiative at some level.
I've been wondering the same also with the pregnant woman and her 22 month old baby they found in river they had went off a overpass had been missing 23 years the mom told them the location where she thought she was and AWP went right to her so y didn't law enforcement Check there years ago makes no sense
If you look, spotting things on sonar can be easy to miss, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. Most small towns likely dont have their own dedicated dive teams. Some forces dont give a F, but some also have to put time into more high profile cases as well because of higher up pressure... it is unfortunate.. but that's why AWP is so valuable.
The fact that this whole team is so professional no matter the circumstance and putting the family above everything else is absolutely amazing. I Thank you and the Chaos Divers by giving people and families their justice and closure.
Watching the children being told that there is human remains in the car,is just soul shaking ...
Cried with them...really isnt nice to watch someones world shatter.
However the work that is done here,is just amazing.
Bitter sweet to say.
Heart goes out to the family.
🙂😇💫🙏🏽
I appreciate that Jared asks detailed questions to find out the area someone may have gone. His expertise on human nature is one of the reasons they are so successful. As painful as the recovery is, the not knowing is worse. And I love how compassionate you are with families.
It’s not brain surgery… they search water in the area lol
The questions that could seem way too personal or offensive are asked with no judgement on the target or family. The answers are always right there just waiting for the right question to uncover them.
I just love them so much! They do the best heart felt search ever!they always put the family first!🥰!They don't show boat! They are always humble! Always!the whole team is Bionic!All of them!Godbless them!Like they said if they are in the water they Will find them!Thank You for all you do!🥰🤘😇

My ❤ goes out to Bianca and Jonathan on the heartbreaking loss and witnessing the recovery of their beautiful, beloved mom, Stephanie. Grateful for your team who work so hard to bring resolution to these families.
Leaving her cell phone and purse behind sounds like she wasn’t thinking clearly. You guys are so awesome for doing this! Thank you!
Missing underwater for four years? that is so painful! The team did a great job searching for her. She finally home! Comfort and peace to her family.
Truly a shame she had to die.
I’m lucky to have the only people in my family die my grandparents, and they died of natural causes.
Kind of, the hospital workers let my grandma die on purpose cause they “needed the bed.”
@@quantumtabbylargo7457 thats awful
There was one guy who went missing underwear for 20 years (I think) until he was discovered by the help of Google maps, what’s freaky was that his skeleton was still on the seat.
@@fukyu2 Is it wrong that i think thats kinda cool?
@@quantumtabbylargo7457 Well not at all, I thought it was pretty fascinating as well, and while it was still freaky to think about, I actually wanted to see how it looked like.
"This is not a good outcome but it's necessary outcome for the family that they have answers."
I love how Doug articulated that. It's better that they know and have some answers rather than never knowing.
I hope by now Bianca knows a lot of people do care. I’m glad AWP was able to find her mother, Stephanie and bring her back to her family. It must have been torture not knowing what happened to her for four years.
Your team is doing amazing work. I hope you are able to do it for a long time and perhaps teach others to do the job as efficiently as you do. ❤
Crazy how the found her so fast and she was missing for 4 years !! All the officers and firefighters just taking instructions from these guys is just gold. So glad they found her and gave her family closure ❤ praying for them 🙏🏼
Josh and Carson's camera work and editing are really exceptional. The music, the drone footage, the framing, all these things make your videos as good as anything on TV.
Better
I really love the music,
The production quality often makes me think it is a drama or a movie, I agree fantastic work , however often the sound quality of family members and others is poor as perhaps they don’t want to be fitted with microphones .
Agreed
I agree. They do a wonderful job
RIP Ms Torres, my thoughts to her family. Jared and the whole AWP are such an awesome asset to the USA & to family’s who loose someone to the waters of the world
Saw this car being pulled from the other side of the river. Glad family got some closure and it’s crazy that she hadn’t been found for so long.
This team is unbelievable. So compassionate and professional. May all these souls RIP and May their families find closure and peace.
This absolutely breaks my heart😭. My brother has been missing for some time, so I know how hard this type of thing can be.... I keep praying that my brother will turn up and everything will be okay 😭.... His name is Bj can everyone please keep him and our family in your prayers?
The not having answers is very hard. It is the old story if a rich person goes missing. The police and every resource is used. A signal poor Mom oh well who cares. Shame on us. All lives matter and all families need closures and answers. God bless this family and the recovery team.
Sorry should have read :God bless this family. And the recovery team.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@youhngwehbrumskine5889 I hope your brother is out there still alive and well and shows up to relieve your family of all the stress. If not and one day before you make to heaven. You can receive support from your family and friends and church family. May you find peace in whatever unfolds. My prayers are with you.
Prayers from Australia
It's heartbreaking to hear that a family doesn't reach out for help because they think no one will care! This channel cares, the members of AWP & and the other teams that join AWP for these searches and all the subscribers and donaters to this channel care - please reach out!!! PLEASE!!! All of us are involved in whatever way we can because we ALL care!! Finding your loved ones matter to you, to us, to AWP!!!!
Amen
My Uncle has been missing since 1981. Trust me. Few really care when it comes to dealing with the authorities. It took me 20 years to get him declared a missing person. 20 years. They finally took dna from my Aunt a year ago in case he's found to make a match. My Uncle is just another number in the database.
@@TexasHomesteaders VERY sorry for your ongoing situation, may you one day get answers to all your questions. Yes some of us do care in the world. 🇦🇺💜🇺🇸💚😪
@@TexasHomesteaders First, I am incredibly sorry for everything you & your family has dealt with. I have always said "Missing" would be worse than "M*rdered!!" Obviously, both are horrible and nothing I would wish upon anyone - ever! But the latter, you know what happened, but 'missing' is just neverending psychological torture with no answers. (I hope I am making sense. I also think m*rder is torment.... I am not lessening the emotional impact of either....)
Truth of the matter, I don't think the general public really pays enough attention to missing persons - especially adults. The Gabbie Petito case highlighted the fact that the public just doesn't demand enough attention to these cases. Obviously Gabbie got lots of attention, but other families who have missing people are wishing they could get even a small percentage of that attention for their loved one!!! When it comes to adults, law enforcement likes to fall back on the "adults can do as they wish....they are allowed to disappear!!" WTH?!?!?!? We do only slightly better with children. Even so, we end up with cases like the Orson (3 y.o) and Orrin (4 y.o) West - missing over a year and Summer Wells (5 y.o.) missing almost 8 months! None are getting the attention they deserve!!! I could rant forever on this subject, but I won't!! Just know that there are many here that care, I wish this fact could make things better or bring your Uncle home! I wish I knew what could be done to change the way these cases are handled. Actually, I wish this never happened to anyone! Hugs for you and your family!!! And thank you for sharing! Your perspective is enlightening!
Their professionalism is second to NONE. I recently found this channel through Christina Randall with the Kiely case and I’m so impressed with this group. Tearful and grateful knowing there are people like them in the world. Wow.
These folks deserve a TV show! Seriously! It is a sad situation every time but you just can’t stop watching.
They have full control this way
The last few finds you’ve had, and the way they have been edited have been incredibly respectful to the families! Well done AWP
Exactly & they go to GREAT lengths to HIDE any footage of remains, not just from the family at the scene, but the camera. Some YTbrs wouldn’t bc they’d go viral. That’s the sadness of our reality these days.
I think they’ve always been edited with the highest respect.
Qqqqqqqq
Thank you for giving her the respect to blur out her body. Kudos for answering that family's questions.
Love seeing everyone working together. Well done guys. Rip lady 🙏
hey im from the uk we dont have anybody like youi guys i know its different in usa with all the lakes ect i'm hoocked watching you i even fall asleep watching you on a night now i love what you are doing and helping families even the support you give them after is amazing,! keep it up you should get paid for what you do love you all from toni in the uk
The though that their own mother decided to die in this way is just awful. She probably thought they would never have to see her again. But her family never stopped looking and found her. This episode made me cry 😢
Well she was intoxicated, it may not have been by choice, rather by accident. Alcohol is so dangerous and serves no purpose.
We do have a GoFundMe Account up for her if you or anyone is willing to donate anything this will be going to her funeral expenses
@@StrongHerTogether So true. Decades ago I was driving while intoxicated. Mind you this was long before DUI's were so heavily reinforced and yes as an adult I know better now, but anyway I dozed off behind the wheel and my car went off the road. I got lucky because it hit the curb which jarred me back awake, but had the car veered to the other side of the road I would have ended up in lake ontario.
The level of professionalism is incredible. This would be a great show on Discovery. This channel needs so much more attention.
Encrible! 4 years under water with no one suspectingi it! Didn't airplanes catch a glimpse of it? What happened to the other two cars? The men said there were three!
This should not be on broadcast tv or cable. Those producers will not be as considerate of the family, they'll want to punch up the drama, they'll stick cameras in the faces of the grieving family as the news is broken, they'll make debates between divers about where to look into full-on arguments, etc. Keeping creative control with the creators themselves is key to keeping it good.
1.9M subscribers is quite the audience
No one cares about TV anymore, im happy its on RUclips and not on Discovery. Then you know they're getting every penny for their work and have full creative control.
I found them thru a video from Inside Edition that was posted on youtube . So they are getting a bit of exposure. I agree tho ,they really should be getting national attention for their work. The states should be paying them for doing their jobs for them.
This rescue brought me to tears. Condolences to the family.
Just curious , I am aware that you were there specifically to find Stephanie Torres . But during your search you came across two other vehicles . How come the police didn’t extract those other vehicles the same day , I just find it strangely weird that knowing there are other vehicles the possibility of people being in them is fairly strong . Wouldn’t the police have a obligation to extract them ?
I wonder this on every one of these videos where there are multiple cars located. I hope they at least run the VINs or check for remains inside of them?
AWP appears to be very thorough so I would think they at least check the vehicles for remains and get the Vin and/or license plate number of the other vehicles.
Trust me, I’m from Waco. They’d be pulling cars out for days if that was the case
In Josh cantu's behind the scenes video, the detective did say one of the other vehicles was stolen and they were going to get them out of the water after they got Stephanie's vehicle out because hers was in front of the other 2
@@Twistedsquirrel317 Thank you
I am tearing up so glad you found this poor soul nobody’s family should go threw this
This one was heartbreaking to watch. Especially because the family thought no one cared. To everyone who is reading this and has a missing loved one: We all do care! Please reach out to AWP, Chaos Divers, Exploring with Nug, or Depths of History! They are here for you!
My heartfelt condolences to Stephanie's family and friends. May she rest in peace. 💛
I admire the way you deal with the family members so sensitively and respectfully. You guys do so much for people ❤️
the sun rays are right in the right spot showing her that she was finally found. I love sun rays showing the way, if you get what i mean. You guys and your crew are absolutly amazing.
Good job everyone. Doug you handled the family perfectly. Not shattering their optimism but not giving false hope either. Keep up the great work and bring home many people as you can. Keep the movement growing.
Thank God you had a mid-life crisis and decided to use your scuba skills to clean up rivers, then recover vehicles and it shifted to finding missing people in lakes and rivers. You guys are a special breed. Few people in our world would volunteer to travel around the country, search for people who are missing and the law enforcement had pretty much let become a cold case. The level of respect, integrity and professionalism is very much a level we all should take to heart. Thank you.
Don't forget to give credit to Jared's wife and family for letting him go on his crusades home support is critical
They have 2.73 million subscribers! If everyone donated just $1 a year... look at the support and funds they would have to keep doing what they are doing. Look at how many more families would be that much closer to the closure they deserve. Thank you AWP for the many lives you touch each and every day!!!!
Not the subject
@@abigailcagle6652huh?
2.73 mill subs that are getting them paid.. what are you talking about? most people do youtube to make $ and by simply watching and commenting, it help them a long way....but i hope you donated. these guys do amazing work
The compassion you guys display when talking to the family and law enforcement is really just inspirational. It doesn’t matter how or why someone ended up under water, they are a person with people who love them and they deserved to live - thanks for showing that humanity supersedes judgment. You guys are really doing some amazing work.
I'm in tears, and I didn't even know her, so I can only imagine how the family feels. I knew when the windows were blurred out that she was in the car and visible. 😭 My condolences to the family and friends, but I'm glad they finally found her and have some closure.
Same… when I saw them blur the windows, u knew. I cannot imagine what made her do this or if it was an accident and she had second thoughts but it was too late? So incredibly sad man. And we definitely CARE. I hope her and her brother are ok having some kind of answers now. God bless them.
@@Sigma2HisAlpha I kinda know how she felt, but I would never let it come to that.
They really need to release unblurred versions on Patreon or something. Really kills the reality of it when it gets blurred suddenly.
@@skussy69 They blur it for privacy and respect.
@@skussy69 No, they don't need to. Have some respect for the dead and their loved ones.
You guys explaining to the family every step, including the process for retrieving their mom's vehicle is true professionalism. The law enforcement allowing everyone to work together, is commendable as well. Good job.
I loved that too but, when Waco pd got there. They were yelling for them and for us family members to leave. They were pissed that adventures found my cousin in 30 min what they couldnt do in 4years
@@virginiaramirez1096 my sincere condolences to you and your family. I wish, people (esp. in cases like this) could overcome their pride and if they didn’t do a good enough job once, just say sorry and do better next time instead of getting angry and causing more pain to the people involved.
@@Iwoasasaned it’s anger based in embarrassment that they were unable to provide answers. But AWP provides such a specialized servicet honing their skills with frequent successful searches, no public agency is going to have that practice rate because AWP learns something with each dive.
@@virginiaramirez1096 that is sad. I am so sorry for your family😠
She was so very pretty - her poor kids, having to live with this tragedy for so long without knowing where she was…truly you men are doing God’s work.
I love how compassionate AWP are towards the family. It’s not just business to them and you can tell. Angels walk among us
Depression is such a serious problem in this country. We need to do more.
Its in all countrys a big problem we need to help and talk to this people.
I know makes me so sad to think that she was so depress she didn’t want to live.
It’s the unfortunate part there’s so much corruption on both ends of the stick and no one does anything to change That’s what makes depression a worser thing everywhere
THat's all you people ever say. ANd you do nothing
You'd be surprised at how many people think you just WANT ATTENTION! IT'S SICKENING!!
3 important things here.
1. Let us not forget the hard working members of the tow truck industry who are called on to assist with all these situations. They deserve all our thanks and mental health support too.
2. The care and compassionate response with which the filming and editing are shown and also blurred out where needed to provide dignity to a deceased family members body.
3. The additional benefits of every dive trip which locates and identifies additional vehicles which might be other cold cases. Plus the opportunity to give local authorities the chance to clean up the bodies of water from environmental hazards.
All these aspects are what I believe make the AWP movement such a worthy cause to support, with views likes, comments and subscribers.
Whilst we all might look forward to another video, someone who was missing is found and it's a bittersweet moment for all of us viewing the results. A sobering reminder to hug our loved ones, message our friends and family.
I support #mentalhealthawareness #disabilityawareness #environment and #1800respect
BEYOND AWESOME DESIGNS
I was thinking the same thing about the tow truck team. I hope they can in the heaviness also remember they did a compassionate service. And that it helps them feel a sense of purpose.
Everyone involved needs credit.
They all did a fantastic job! 👏 💝
Giving everyone credit, is for the cameras. In reality AWP deserves all the credit in this episode. Cop's didn't go nowhere with the case in 4 years and the tow truck company all it did was take a call for tow service just like any other day and got paid without having to freeze their asses in cold water.
Seeing these Grave-cars being lifted out, knowing they're finally going home... it's emotional.
It's such a somber feeling. Not happy, or relief, but a sense of peace an answers
I am watching from sweden and I am speechless about your work you do for families. The time and effort you putting….I dont have words to describe it! You and your crew are so respecful and heart warming people. You talk with knowledge and you put other humans emotions and integrity first. I hope it gives the system in the US a wake up call and improves the way in their investigations. Keep on working! Big hugs from sweden.
I cant imagine what it would be like to lose someone and never find them, but i can imagine how I would feel for you guys to find them.
Thank all of you forever and thanks for the likes but you all should really be supporting these guys for me because I dont have any money to donate or join the cause that they have set up. Or not. Do whatever you want.
I so agree
Ua
@@crazyanimallover4562 what does that even mean? As Jared says hitting the like button is giving to them because every like gives them money from RUclips along with all the ads people see. These guys are paid well by youtube they made over 600,000.00 dollars past 12 months also they get money from Facebook. Give if you can but don't say negative things because these guys are busting their ass and away from family to do this
@@crazyanimallover4562 You don't need to donate. Just watch the ads if any.
They get money from the ads on their videos. Not everyone can donate including me. Take care
Your ability to use the right words at such a horrific moment reflects on your empathy as a son.
Your dedication memorial at the closing of your video was beautiful!!!
Your team is truly hero's with fins as wings!
I love the fins as wings....that couldn't be more accurate!
The lady is gonna be dead :(
That last sentence was beautifully said !
What a heartbreaking but amazing service you provide.At least these poor families have closure, and they can lay their loved ones to rest. ❤
the toy car for demonstration..
returning to the family every second that you get feedback….
the dedication, the motivation.
purely amazing
God Bless you all. ❤
To see a forlorn, long-sunken car lifted out of the river, knowing someone died there, breaks my heart. Deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
Watching how transparent and compassionate the AWP team is with the family, how helpful and professional they are with local law enforcement, I'm rather in awe. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
I been watching a couple years of AWP ,, THIS the saddest one I've seen an saying this as a man I'm in tears like a baby,, so many prayers to that family
I watch these quite often.
When you think your day is going badly, then you see the such utter pain that their loved one is not home, and you can't do anything but be on their side, pulling hard to bring them on home.
I hope you guys are blessed beyond belief with health, happiness, and love. You deserve it for what you do for these families.
The caring and comfort you showed the family, and the respect you showed to Stephanie touched my heart and all the while you had the utmost professionalism. Bianca, my heart goes out to you and your family. Sending you all much love and comforting hugs.
So impressed with your sensitivity, Jared. That poor girl. And shame on the police for not searching in the water for Stephanie; it is all about budgets! Thank you for giving the family closure, and bringing Stephanie home. May she rest in peace.🙏
I know you probably hear it over and over but what you guys do is incredible. THANK YOU!
The sensitivity shown videoing this recovery is to be applauded. You should be very proud of yourselves.
It broke my heart to hear her say no one cared. We all care and I’m so glad your mom is finally home. @adventureswithpurpose you guys are truly skilled at what you do and bring a sense of healing for these families! Keep up the absolute amazing job that you do
Yes, so many people care. Every day each of us has an opportunity to show our love to another. Love strong in the small things and the big things you do.
The emotional toll on both the family and your team are heart wrenching to see. While the results are sad, the closure it brings families is what makes your work valuable. Thank you
This team is incredible! The expertise and care that you show to the family is amazing. It is so good to see the local department being respectful and listening to your suggestions. What happens with the other vehicles when you find more than one?
I cannot express just how well these videos are made. They improve every time.
For real. The videography is fantastic
Doug: from driver to diver. I think he really found his purpose in life. Thanks for sharing !
A few days in, I’m still binge watching your channel. You guys truly are incredible & I’m in such awe of you & your work.
We need more people like you guys may God bless you and for the family I'm so sorry for your loss sweetheart ❤
As a retired SAR K9 handler my hat is off to you gentlemen. Thank you so very much for caring, and for doing the work you do. You guys are so important!! ❤️💙
Thank you for the work you did as well!
Unfortunate circumstances for an introduction, but it was an honor to meet & work with you guys on this case; exceptionally friendly and professional crew. Like I said there, I immediately knew that it was y'all whenever I heard the radio traffic about a civilian dive search team finding a vehicle in the Brazos (a mark of the reputation that your channel has developed for doing this work). I know I speak for many when I say that what you do is beyond appreciated... providing peace for victims' families, and ultimately for the victims themselves. I pray the Lord continues to lead you to the next one, and then to the next one, for as long as you're able.
Their next video will be in Lakeland Florida. I just saw the news report on the local broadcast
How did you meet the guys
@@davidm3maniac201 Am local forensic
How do you know a lord exists ?
@@irshviralvideo He does. I know you may not be able to hear that, but I’m saying it for the benefit of others as well. The Lord is good.
It’s always heart warming watching and listening to you guys taking care of the family. You’re always always meticulous and helpful on how to pull the vehicle out with the least disturbance to the remains. I hope I’ll never need you but it’s reassuring that you guys are there. Stay safe and God bless❤️
Came across this channel and these guys are literally hero’s finding peoples loved ones
RIP Stephanie, no one should ever reach the depths of despair that you did.
Thank you to Adventures with Purpose and Chaos Divers. Your work is priceless in bringing closure to families who need answers.
You guys are great for doing this for families I just want to thank you.
It's so sad that anyone can be in so much pain that this is the only relief they can find. Nobody deserves to suffer like that. My heart goes out to her family. I know its difficult to understand.
That is so sweet of you
the amount of peace you bring to a family when finding their loved ones is AMAZING!!
The compassion shown to these families is what keeps me coming back. It’s hard to lose a loved one, harder to not know where they are, and harder still to feel like no one cares or is looking for them. The AWP Crew is amazing, you’re a balm to all that’s difficult in this world.
I’m so addicted to these shows! I like how they are done and how much they care. The music I can do without lol but still love it.
I'm amazed that this channel reached this point where they are finding missing person.
This story really hit me, I lost my love and father of my son four years ago he jumped off a bridge, it was the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life, they were able to recover his body, as it went to the rocks, he traumatized people who saw it 😭 sometimes the bodies are not found! Please people if you read this, DON’T DO IT!! 🙏💔
Sincere condolences to you and your son! ❤️🙏🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss! 😪💜💜
I'm so sorry for your loss dear...may god bless you and your son.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Based on my experience.
Their internal pain must be so great that they need to end it and may not be of clear mind to think of how their body will hit others when found.
@@baddie1shoe thank you so much for sharing your story, mental illness is real and more needs to be done help people because it can be hard for them to talk about it and a lot times people try to find other ways to cope, sadly with drugs, which can make mental illnesses worse because it’s not getting to the real problem, I wish this world would wake up!! sometimes all these people just need is someone to talk to.
You are so kind helping all these families find their loved ones.Thank you❤
Something about when the families are there the whole time. It’s like they lost enough time already, they just want to be by their side through what they can still. It’s so touching, and a huge respect in a spiritual sense.
