    I have cried with this story. The fact that someone else found Donnie tells me that, indeed, you started a movement in which more and more people search for someone missing by giving answers to their loved ones. Jared, I admire you so much. Greetings from Mexico

    Make no mistake Jared. Donnie wouldn’t have been found if you hadn’t started this movement! I’m happy/sad for his family. The knowing is worth the pain. I’m proud to be a tiny part of AWP. You’ve always approached each case and each family with the utmost dignity and respect. You have taught so many the techniques they’re now using to help find lost loved ones. I’ll never forget that. We love you guys. Hi Dan! 🫶🏼😎🫶🏼 Be at peace sweet Donnie😔

    Jerad is so knowlegeable about water; river, lake, pond it is comforting to listen to him explain why it maybe possible or not to find any car in there. Because of me living by a river while I was growing up I was able to see how it changed day by day. You could walk across on one day but the very next day it had dug a hole large enough to cover you completely. Eddies can dig and dig out holes over night.❤❤❤❤❤

      We learned something new with every case that we work.

James Hinkle did an incredible job working angles that we did not. He’s the one that deserves the credit for finding Donnie.
