Steve was my cousin, we were very close. Cant even begin to thank you enough for tireless work and dedication in finding him. I wish the ending was different but we now have answers. Cindy
My deepest condolences, sympathies and prayers for you and all of your families. I’m wondering, it was mentioned that his furbaby was also missing. Was he/she with him?
I lost my father about 20 years ago. He was working on a shrimping boat and fell off while working off the coast of Louisiana. The Coast Guard search for him but never recovered a body. His body was lost forever to the ocean. This video hits me in so many ways. Making my donation for Doug and hope he can solve more cases. God bless us all!
I’m sorry for your loss many of my former shipmates have been lost aT sea most were fortunate enough to be recovered. My heart always aches thinking about situations like yours
Every case has its own journey, but the goal is always the same: to bring answers to those who have spent years wondering and waiting. For Steve’s family, that wait is now over. In this final chapter, we take you through the emotional process of discovery, the recovery of Steve’s vehicle, and the heartfelt moments shared with his family. This isn’t just a resolution; it’s the beginning of healing for those left behind. Thank you all for your support!
These guys are so bad ass! Helping people find their loved ones lost for years-they swoop in and take care of business no matter how long it takes! Thank you for your service guys!!
I was a producer and lead editor for 12 years and I just want to commend whoever building your episodes... they are seemly well thought out, clean audio, sharp cuts and edits, and cohesive. Well Done.
@@kinsin66ah, c’mon be nice. He was just complimenting Doug’s team about something he’s experienced in. It was a nice thing to do, your response wasn’t.
I don’t see anyone talking about this, but it’s so awesome that the cops and investigative teams allowed you guys to do your work and don’t just say “oh hey you found the guy we will take over from here” instead they work with you on it and let you do the work that you started, so awesome! You guys are absolute heros and are absolutely inspiring. Thank you for taking the machinery and stuff you guys got and using it for incredible stuff like this!
its staged. Cops wouldnt let them do this. They have highly specialized highly trained highly paid people who come in and do this, who know what they are doing. There also should be a snake around the car to catch the fluids. You can see them all in the water. This is tampering with evidence if we didnt see a call to the sheriff or cops.
This deeply heartbreaking and complex situation has finally reached some closure. I’m so proud to have been the stepfather to Axel, Emily, and Travis. I was married to their mother Cheryl. She loves her children with all her heart, and I’ve always admired what a wonderful, caring mother she is. During our marriage, Steven-such a loving father-wanted to meet with me just before the day he disappeared. That meeting never happened, and tragically, neither did his return. From that day on, the lives of his children were forever changed. His parents, with their unwavering hope, believed that maybe, just maybe, Steven needed time to step away and would return. He was a devoted father, the kind of dad who never missed a single game. Axel, a natural athlete with an arm that could throw a fastball so hard it stung, always had his dad there, supporting him with pride. Axel was a star on the baseball team, but he never let that define him-he was always about the team, a humble young man. And just like him, his siblings, Emily and Travis, are kind, strong, and resilient kids. The unknown surrounding Steven’s disappearance weighed so heavily on their hearts. The speculation, the endless wondering, made it even harder for his children. There were no answers, just the painful mystery of his vanishing. Life moved forward, and though I was no longer a part of their daily lives, I would check in from time to time. Looking back, I wish I had done more. I wish I had stayed more involved, but we can only learn from hindsight. When Steven’s story resurfaced, I held onto a strong hope that this time, there would be answers. I felt so reassured when I learned that Cold Case Expert Ben Pender from the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office was leading the investigation. Having worked with Ben for many years when he was a firefighter, police officer, city council member, and now one of the most highly regarded cold case detectives, I knew Steven would be found. Ben is not just incredibly skilled, but he also brings such compassion and dedication to his work. Then came Doug Bishop from the United Search Corps and the unwavering Sparks Group, who are relentless in their mission. These teams joined together, and I knew that with their combined strength, it was only a matter of time before they’d bring Steven home. The Sparks Group never eases up-they pursue their mission with incredible dedication. Trust me, I know from personal experience that Dave Sparks pushes the envelope! This was the perfect coming together of experts who worked with their hearts and minds fully committed to this task. Detective Pender leads by building a team of the best, and it didn’t matter where anyone was from-what mattered was what they could bring to help. For the Anderson family, you had the very best working tirelessly for you. Because of their incredible efforts, Steven was found. While this may bring some measure of closure, I know the emotional weight of this loss is so difficult to bear. My heart goes out to Axel, Emily, Travis, Cheryl, and the entire Anderson family. I send all my love and strength to you. I hope that as you move forward, the return of Steven will help you find peace, comfort, and a sense of healing.
@@richpolecat6527 If you watch the videos of the search (Part 2), they say Steve wanted to go to the cabin with his son, so it didn't look like he planned to commit suicide. But I guess we'll never know...
Im a newbie i just found your channel i use to watch AWP but bored just seeing short or repeat video's. I remember Doug from there. He has real passion on what he and hes team are doing.Can i just thank you for helping find the missing loved ones. Love from UK 🇬🇧
Can't give the truth because it would make the sheriffs office look bad. Gotta stroke their pride when the truth is they didn't do ANYTHING to find this man.
Thank you Doug, Heavy D & others!! Doug thank you for saying "it's never closure, but some questions can finally be answered." God bless the family & your TENACITY ✨♥️
Finding the missing, gives some closure to the family who just desperately long for their loved ones. The hurt is actually relief and you are giving a family their loved one back, to properly mourn and bury. Thank you for all your hard work.
I’m sitting here crying for a man I never met and his family. I’m giving thanks to God that He created you and this amazing recovery team. The respect you show for these families and their recovered loved one touches my heart. I can’t begin to imagine the heartbreak of losing a loved one and not knowing where they are for 20 years. Then the wave of emotion they are dealing with when they finally have answers. May God continue to Bless you all. May He bring some much needed relief and peace for Stevens’ family. RIP Steven 😢💔😔🙏
@@richpolecat6527 He’s your God too. He created you and cares about you. Steven drove that car over the edge and God brought him home. Everyone has a time to be born and a time to die. My heart hurts for people who don’t chose God over this world. I’ll be praying that your heart and eyes will be opened before your time comes. Good Bless you Richpolecat6527.
I love how you said that you figured pulling the remains from the vehicle would be terrible but it's actually peaceful. That's such a beautiful sentiment. ❤
This is exactly what real men are mean to do. No politics, no fighting, and no fussing. Just coming together to do the hard stuff to help others. Good on you men for what you do. Keep up the good work and start strong for your community.
I always shed tears when Doug's efforts pay off for families and loved ones finally are given the respectful resting place. I hope his dog stays with him. Hugs to Doug, the Sparks team and since condolences to the family.🕊️
The mental and physical strength it must take everyone involved. I love watching all of these episodes as you continuously strive to attain answers for those who need to know the truth. God bless you.
My brother has been missing since 2007. Your guy's help with these cases and helping families of the missing is incredible. Thank You for all your hard work and what you do!
God Bless everyone that was involved in this cold case, it will give the family peace to know where their loved ones was & now Steve & his best friend (his Dog) can Rest In Peace 🙏🏻💞
God bless you great Americans! This country has many Patriots and your crew is definitely on that list!! We are not as divided as the media wants to paint us... united we stand!!! God bless him and his family im happy they have their father/lo ed one home to them! May god keep him 🙏 ❤️
Doug and his fellow recovery members that worked on funding Stephen are firstly AWESOME! But they are still so HUMBLE and KIND. I know it sounds cliche, but to be so persistent in their search but sensitive to those around them, those they are searching for and those who are needing the answers. Well done, good and faithful servants.. The world needs more leaders with "Servant" Leadership skills!
I've watched Doug since he first started with doing the rescues. I am so proud he has continued to help people find their loved ones. Thank you to Doug, Dave and everyone that made this recovery possible.
I think he started out as a tow operator helping another channel that does this. Then got trained to dive and went on his own when the other channel had issues.
Wow this is one of those when it grabs you and pulls you in because you are right there in the moment with all the emotions alongside those involved. Glad Doug was able to bring him home with the help of everyone.
It is always good to see Dave and Doug working together. Doug, your work brings results and I hope you never give it up. People need what it is that you do. Dave, your friends know they can count on you. That is a quality too many men don't have. I admire and respect you both.
I'm so glad that you are continuing this work in spite of he who must not be named trying to hobble and silence your contributions. You and your fellow companions do a needed job that we can't do. Thank you.
Doug and Heavy D. Thank you both for giving ANSWERS to this family. As to the police department you failed for 20 yrs. Give credit where credit is due. To Doug Bishop and Heavy D. Sparks for giving this family the ANSWERS to where their loved one was for the last 20years. Thank you! The production of all three videos, the filming,editing spot on. ❤
I am always so proud of the tireless work and dignity and respect you give these cases! My sincere condolences to the family. Thanks to everyone that brought Steven home to his family!
Thank u so much for everything u do. This is so important. So important. For every person who loved the lost and u helped them. God Bless u. Thank u so much. Take care of yourselves. 🙏
Blessings to the family and you guys for finally bring them closer and there loved one back to them after so long of waiting so he can finally be laid to rest
Awesome job Doug! I'm amazed and proud of how far you've come since your tow truck days. Extremely proud to be a fellow Oregonian with all the good deeds you do. Keep searching, never give up!
Credit where credit is due!! News channels need to get that right. Sheriff’s Office did not recover, this team did. It is utterly heartbreaking for this find. Drowning is a horrific way to die. I didn’t catch if the dog was found or not. My heartfelt condolences to the family. Not knowing is its own torture. I cannot even begin to imagine how it has been for you all. Glad you stuck with it Doug. Took a lot of work. Also the crew helping to make the recovery happen. It wasn’t easy. This family has him back and no longer lost. ❤
I began watching AWP when they were still just a diving channel pulling trash out the rivers. I remember when Doug was still a tow truck driver that took a liking to those guys and started helping them out. Over the last few years, Doug has evolved into a person that has truly found his calling in life, after a long and winding journey with a lot of twists and turns along the way. Unlike the guy he started out with, Doug is doing it for the right reasons, and I can't wait to see him get on his feet and get some momentum going. There are no limits to what he can do. Thank you for using your platform and resources to help Doug achieve everything he deserves.
This was unnecessary you can lift up Doug without mentioning other people and trying to throw shots. I prefer AWP I still believe in the mission for everyone. AWP is hashtag in this video, why?
This just popped up in my RUclips feed. I’ve watched other recovery channels like yours but I’m glad I saw this today. Thank you all for doing what you do. I donated to Doug and subscribed to both channels!
Amazing and, yes, very sad video. I can’t help but think about this man’s family getting answers finally. The whole team of people responsible for his recovery are to be commended!
Thank you, Heavy D and your crew, Doug Bishop, LEO's, and DNR for helping with the recovery of Steven Anderson and his vehicle. May Steven rest in heavenly peace. 🕊🙏 My sincere condolences to Steven's family.
I KNOW DONATING IS HARD AS WERE ALL STRUGGLING WITH COST. I am broke but gave $5 to Dougie. Please give anything you can afford so we can keep him searching and helping families ❤
I just want to thank you and thank God for letting you do this for the family 🙏 thank you for everything you do for everybody from Fresno California God loves 😢
This family’s deserves peace now after 20 years of loss and suffering and heartache! An this is the closer they need and countless others too! Those who are lost are never forgotten!
Thank you to Doug, Heavy D and the rest of the crew. After what AWP did to all of you I am so happy that you are doing what you were destined to do. God bless you and keep you safe and healthy and strong.
I joined a search and rescue organization and am training with my german shepherd to be a k9 team and a lot of the motivation came from watching Doug's video it inspired me to help people in the same way.
I tried once before, bought my puppy just before Covid, and all the puppy assessments we're canceled so was never able to fully certify me and the dog, but i didnt stop training him, so i got a awesome dog that all my little neices and nephews try and play hind and seek ang always loose haha
You can see their pain in their eyes in the tears as they recovered a victim no longer lost. Credit to everyone who came together to search and bring them home. Great video again guys as he is now coming home. THANK YOU ALL.
Steve was my cousin, we were very close. Cant even begin to thank you enough for tireless work and dedication in finding him. I wish the ending was different but we now have answers.
Cindy
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family❤

My deepest condolences, sympathies and prayers for you and all of your families. I’m wondering, it was mentioned that his furbaby was also missing. Was he/she with him?

Sorry about your loss. I’m surprised Katrina didn’t wash his body up. I live on the coast. Where did he go missing? Near Chandelier Island?
So sorry for your loss. Losing your dad is the worst thing ever.

Screw that local news channel giving cred to the sheriffs office rather than the youtube heros that are finding these missing people.
Mass media is the enemy of the people. It’s a tool of the state now.
I'm from here and watched the entire newscast and they did mention these guys and show footage.
I second this.
Also, 99% of the credit was knowing where to dive.
Can't give the truth because it would make the sheriffs office look bad. Gotta stroke their pride when the truth is they didn't do ANYTHING to find this man.
After 20 years Rest in Peace Steven.
I've seen both doing what they do separately but together leaves no stone unturned. It's miracle work that relaves years of pain

you all are amazing people, bringing answers and closure to so many families. 💙
SO GLAD TO SEE DOUG DOING THIS WORK STILL!!! Been wondering what happened to him!!!
We need more people like this
I’ve watched Doug from his beginning. I’m so proud of what he has done for others. His heart is bigger than Texas! Greetings from Texas USA 🇺🇸
How loving and selfless. You’re truly doing God’s work. Be blessed.
Well done to all involved for helping bring some sort of closure to a long-term grieving family. So honourable.
Thank You for not giving up on founding him. I know this is hard on the family but at least they have him back instead of still worry about him.
I am always so proud of the tireless work and dignity and respect you give these cases! My sincere condolences to the family. Thanks to everyone that brought Steven home to his family!
The Diesel Brothers are doing amazing work. Doug is an amazing person himself. Mad props to you guys.
Thank u so much for everything u do. This is so important. So important. For every person who loved the lost and u helped them. God Bless u. Thank u so much. Take care of yourselves. 🙏
Blessings to the family and you guys for finally bring them closer and there loved one back to them after so long of waiting so he can finally be laid to rest
Awesome job Doug! I'm amazed and proud of how far you've come since your tow truck days. Extremely proud to be a fellow Oregonian with all the good deeds you do. Keep searching, never give up!
Congrats to Doug on solving the case and to Dave Sparks crew for making the recovery happen! Rest in peace, Steven Anderson.
The way some people go out their way to help other ppl have some peace of mind is amazing big up everyone involved 🙏🏾👍🏾

What an amazing recovery. My heart goes out to the family but glad they now know after 20 long heartbreaking years.
This just popped up in my RUclips feed. I’ve watched other recovery channels like yours but I’m glad I saw this today. Thank you all for doing what you do. I donated to Doug and subscribed to both channels!
Amazing and, yes, very sad video. I can’t help but think about this man’s family getting answers finally. The whole team of people responsible for his recovery are to be commended!
Thank you, Heavy D and your crew, Doug Bishop, LEO's, and DNR for helping with the recovery of Steven Anderson and his vehicle. May Steven rest in heavenly peace. 🕊🙏 My sincere condolences to Steven's family.

What did awp do?
Remember, everyone deployed. God bless you all. Rest in peace.
I joined a search and rescue organization and am training with my german shepherd to be a k9 team and a lot of the motivation came from watching Doug's video it inspired me to help people in the same way.
I tried once before, bought my puppy just before Covid, and all the puppy assessments we're canceled so was never able to fully certify me and the dog, but i didnt stop training him, so i got a awesome dog that all my little neices and nephews try and play hind and seek ang always loose haha
You are all so amazing. I am in awe of what you do. Thank you Doug and everyone involved.
greatly admire Doug's tenacity and resolve.
Wow. This is big. Kudos on being able to help find closure for his family. After 20 years, being able to let that pressure go…. Just amazing.
You can see their pain in their eyes in the tears as they recovered a victim no longer lost. Credit to everyone who came together to search and bring them home.
Great video again guys as he is now coming home. THANK YOU ALL.
Thank you Doug for all you do for families.
