Jerrid, I know it’s difficult knowing you may have missed something but you never gave up and followed your instincts and found Ralph. You guys are angels on earth. Take care of yourselves and know what you do makes a huge difference in so many lives. 💜

[@tricky1992000]

Don't be so hard on yourself Jared, you are still on a learning curve that may last for as long as you are doing this type of recovery. You can only work with the knowledge you know. You are probably one of the best in the world at what you do.

[@shellos8]

Do you guys ever search for bodies not in a vehicle but known to be underwater?

[@trentgay3437]

Don't beat yourself up the water depth probably made the difference in the sonar "picture" and picking a car out of that pile. You're skill and determination is what found him.

Thank you for your diligence in bringing Dad home!

[@dianemackey]

My sincere condolences to your family Laurie. I'm so grateful AWP found him for you and relieved that awful feeling of not knowing what happened. May Ralph rest in peace.

[@breezy7987]

All my condolences to you Laurie and your family your father seemed like a wonderful man.. you can tell how loved he is.. god bless xoxo from Philadelphia

[@furryblue6377]

I just wanted to pop in here and say, there is no shame in the joy that he's been found. I know so many people are so judgemental and berate loved ones and the search teams for being happy, and uplifted when the missing are found, but you should be happy. You should feel blessed. You have them back and it lifts such an immense burden from your soul. Ralph can rest peacefully now xx

[@melissaford4824]

He was a wonderful man and very loved by many! I never knew him since I live in another state but this group has honored him! Many people who never met him know his name. It makes me wish I knew him. I’m so sorry for your loss.

[@kathiealghsein9993]

@@DougBishop did you ever find out if that little stuffed bunny was any significance ? This is a very teary-eyed moment. So thankful for Jared's intuition that took you guys back to that spot. You always put your life in danger for every second you are in that water. Thank you both for your bravery and perseverance. You are a hero to many. May Mr.Brown rest in peace.

[@kelsiefletcher]

​@@soundman6241 yes ! you are so correct.

[@moonshayde]

If the car was covered by logs & debris Jared wouldn't have found it the last few times he scanned the area but he trusted his instincts. No doubt the logs & debris moved enough to enable Jared to find it this time & bring Ralph home. The bunny was a sign just like the balloons. R.I.P Ralph

[@lisa4freedom662]

My sincere condolences Laurie, Mom, Brother and the rest of the Family. I am glad that AWP was able to bring your Dad home and closure for the Family. ❣🙏

[@pfeilsusan]

So true! Why is Doug doing most of the diving?

[@ry.kauai7]

Jared, I am a detective and have been in law enforcement since 1995. A back ground investigator once asked my husband what my best trait was he said, "tenacious" the investigator then asked what my worst trait was he said, "tenacious" You fall in that same title as me. This episodes reaction is proof positive you are the best at your work. Never ever ignore your intuition. Your dedication, determination, and tenaciousness is why you never gave up on Ralph. Keep up the good fight! Excellent work.

The fact that you felt the way you did when found the car after retracing your steps is what makes you the perfect person for the job you do.

Absolutely. I wish everybody with a missing loved one could have somebody so humble and sincere trying to bring them home.

[@pjef1956]

[@annav1767]

Jared, don't beat yourself up. You were meant to find Ralph when you did. No sooner, no later. You and the team are doing great on bringing families closure.

[@pieyedapple]

Totally concur...in the bigger picture, Jared provided closure...that's what counts. A hundred years from now, that's what will stand in the records...

[@daleskelton8963]

I agree with you Anna. Things happen for a reason that we can’t explain. It was meant to be for him to be found when he was.

[@thespectralsociety4888]

I commented the same thing. Ralph knew it wasn’t time to find him yet!

[@emmyBsims]

Such a true comment. We may never know why things happen they way they do but it always works out in the end

[@annav1767]

I can also understand the frustration and disappointment in the moment knowing that the area was searched before. In the end, the family got an answer on where he was and are able to have some peace in his return to them. I hope they are all doing well given the circumstances.

[@Alyssa684]

The way Doug started consoling Jared immediately was so touching. You guys are an amazing team due to your skills, empathy, and understanding of each other.

[@alicesheeler1215]

Doug,all that you've done as an adult,came into play today to get Ralph rescued and onto land. What a statement from God that each year of your adult life s experience was used today.You are special and have confirmation from heaven.

[@TSBOFRLM]

Touching…it’s beautiful to see. They brought him home as a team. They did it.❤️

[@casperstour]

Im a 30 year old man in tears because of this episode.... Jared, NEVER beat yourself up, debris moves, indications become more clear over time and you did everything you could in your power and whether it took a day or a decade you found that familys loved one! Keep up the good work! Much love to all of AWS team. You guys are amazing at what you do.

[@behindthespotlight7983]

I’ve got 22 years on you and my eyes are leaking too

[@tmurphy0919]

Jared, don't do that to yourself. You're an amazingly selfless person doing a difficult job. We all see the dedication, skill, and perseverance of you and your team. As Doug pointed out, there's a lot of current and a lot of debris. It's entirely possible that Ralph's car has been buried and unburied several times in the last year. Missing Ralph isn't your fault.

[@rebeccatatum4574]

I totally agree Jared said that it was a pile of trees last time and easily missed.

[@swearenginlawanda]

Agree 1000%

[@NinjasAK]

Came to say just this. If Jared had never come back for this 4th (?) time, that would've been letting the family down. BUT HE DIDNT. HE CAME BACK. He chased that gut feeling, he came back even though he thought he'd cleared the area. That's not failing; that's dedication, and a willingness to keep an open mind and consider that he may have missed something. 100%, He has never failed these families.

[@joannepantale483]

@tommurphy THIS

[@kitarrah1422]

I could tell how torn up Jared was about having missed this vehicle on his other searches there. It's not your fault, Jared. There were a lot of circumstances that prevented you from seeing it on the sonar. My guess is that it was camouflaged by the trees and debris at the time. You trusted your instincts and didn't give up. You have learned and gotten more experience. Try not to beat yourself up. I know that's easier said than done, but remember, no one else found him either. You kept asking yourself "What if I missed something?" and kept going back to make sure; and in the end, you found him and brought him home. The fact that you were so upset shows how much you care. Thank you and Doug, and the rest of the AWP team for doing this. You are appreciated!

[@charliespragg662]

I can understand how much you want to bring everyone home and you do in the end I love what you do xxx keep up the amazing work love you

[@ciannamessinger]

The important thing is that they're home

[@MasumiSeike]

"Today is not the day to start learning how to do stuff." This quote right here from the Mr. Elliott at 47:07 ... that's what helping is about. If you can't do it now, let those that do make it and learn while they do it. No pushing down, only lifting up. I'm happy to see that the AWP movement came so far that people now are more open to it to help people finding their loved ones.

[@zublacus]

Right??? That kind of understanding by Law enforcement to put common sense before ego is amazing and makes you feel good they do exist.

[@Garbox80]

I actually laughed out loud for that. That was SO on point. Kudos to those guys too for being true professionals.

[@rachelpassmore8747]

"I have your dad." Omg I lost it. Jared I cannot believe you could doubt yourself ever. The amount of good you have done. ❤️

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

Jared, a professional grows with every intervention they perform. This is every professional in any field. I am a retired RN with 40 years critical care experience. I have done sleep studies as well as noninvasive vascular studies. There is a learning curve with everything you do. I have walked into a patient's room in the ICU and instinctively knew something was wrong. So you check and double check. You think on it and go back and check again. It could be that an EKG lead is a little loose. It could be anything. You said yourself the water is deeper than it was. There is a lot of debris. Atmospheric changes could have moved the debris and now the car is visible. Your gut led you back. You have not let the family down. Don't kick yourself around the block. But the fact that you question yourself is the sign of a consummate professional. When you question yourself you grow as a person. Stay safe.

[@imaprincessdammit]

Jared, seeing you beat yourself up over clearing that area before makes my heart hurt. You guys are doing work that other people can't do and you do your best, every time. If his car was covered, in debris, it was hidden then...and your heart drew you back there again, so that's pretty amazing. You did this for that family. Good job.

[@izayahkxchannel4419]

Totally agree broke my heart to hear his pain and anguish in that moment but these men are wonderful and so compassionate true heros and should never doubt what they do or their ability. They're learning as they go as he said and for that alone they should feel confident and proud to be bringing so many cold cases back to their loved ones xoxo

[@JohnyComeLately]

Jared, you've said in defense of other agencies that things can read different at different times. And that your skills developed over time. Extend that graciousness to yourself. And that you've kept searching you've not let them down. If you would've said 'it's clear and we're done', that would've let them down. It's ok to feel sad that you missed him before, but forgive yourself any ill will you've got. As you say, you're learning more and more every season. Ultimately you brought closure to another family, thank you for being tenacious in your drive to help.

[@Jay-yl9th]

[@YouTubeExplore777]

Agree, nomatter how many times they've scanned the area and searched it can be an easy miss each time, details that are camouflaged into the aquatic floor is easy to miss; the fact they find missing people including this one shows they care and really work very hard to find missing people their heart cares so much that they develop an emotional connection for the missing and the family with the missing loved ones. I'm glad he's found and the many others they've found too.

Jared and Doug are true empathy. The care and concern that they handle every case shows the commitment to the purpose. I am impressed with the way the vehicle was rigged to recover it as intact as possible. The towing company was very good and worked well as a team with Jared and Doug. The sheriffs office deserves a shoutout for allowing the team to use their expertise and not demand to recover the vehicle themselves. I’m sorry for the families loss.

exactly.. I didn't see anything of what they were seeing on their scopes. I saw the boat, but that was it. Something was telling them, and their training and instincts, led them to another successful recovery. Nothing at all to be ashamed of.

[@davidtammyames1242]

Jared, my heart was breaking for you in your self frustration over not finding him the first few searches. For believing and telling the family Rogers Landing was cleared. Many people searched and missed him, many people moved on to somewhere else. What makes you so OUTSTANDING is your instinct and determination to continue the pursuit. I firmly believe you did something that nobody else could have done and you got the results nobody else would have. For that, Sirs, you have my utmost respect and quite likely the same will be said by others as well.

[@glenstrecker55]

I really think what hindered y'all in the earlier searches was the sheer amount of debris over and around the area. You also stated there had been a couple of floods since Ralph went missing, so the amount of debris has changed over time and the vehicle was finally revealed. You guys are still doing things that no one else has done. Keep up the great work.

Jared, you should not be so hard on yourself. You guys do this for free and you started out by finding abandoned cars that didn’t have people in them and over the videos that I have watched you guys are still learning it doesn’t matter how much we know we still are learning as people. And I have so much respect for what you do.

[@FlyMIfYouGotM]

Jared, no one is infallible. Everyone has made and will make mistakes. No one, no matter how good they are or how hard they try will ever be perfect. That you are willing to try says everything about where your heart is and how much these families mean to you. The main thing you should take from this is what you learn that will help you help even more families. Thanks for what you are doing.

[@smnlikdat]

Jared, the bottom line is you “found” him. Without your instincts and persistent he would still be down there. Give y’all some emotional and mental break.

You are on this journey for a reason, you have the knowledge you have because you didn’t find him right away. So, you followed your gut, you learn from every case just like you’re meant to.

I cry along with many others for the emotional moment you go through Jared. You held it together knowing you were on camera but I can tell you this, if it were me, I would have/and have been balling my eyes out. Such a testament to you and Doug and the crew for not giving up. And the bunny is clearly a sign from God in my humble opinion. Doug you brink up the Carrie may Parker point of the balloons, and you are right, there is 'extra energy' or higher power at work with you guys, don't dismiss those signs. I don't know if anyone else notices this but EVERY time Doug goes under water he crosses his chest in prayer. I do it with you Brother, every time.

[@MissLilyputt]

Jared, you found him when you were meant to find him. You’ve learned and continue to learn so much and so quickly. The important thing is that you didn’t give up and you listened to that voice inside you that kept pulling you back. Give yourself the same grace, love and understanding that you would give your crew, your friends or your family. You deserve that much for yourself. Beating yourself up isn’t going to make anything better or easier. Now you can take the knowledge you’ve gained to help other families and going ahead you’ll learn to trust that instinct or inner voice when you feel it. You and Doug are really an amazing team. You talk things out when you disagree about what you see or don’t see but you understand that the other isn’t saying it to be hurtful but to help a family. It’s a kind of understanding we all should try to have for others.

[@dianemackey]

Ralph was found because YOU didn't give up, Jared! He never would have been found otherwise. You have always been honest with the families, and did the best you could on every search, it's just that wonderful intuition that beats away at you, that gives you reason to try again. I recall Maria Shriver telling a story of her mom, who would ask each child what they did that day to help others. As each replied of their accomplishments, Eunice would ask them, "Did you do enough? Could you have done more?" and I happen to think you are a shining example of someone who always does more. This video certainly proves it. Doug is such a motivational and inspirational person and he truly understands that your expertise grows over time and revisiting cases and areas with new info is what can make you successful. I'm in total awe of what you all do, and how you inspire others to help pro bono. That is amazing in itself.

Jared - you should never feel guilty for telling the family you were confident in clearing the area before. Nobody is perfect. And you kept feeling drawn to come back. And you kept gaining more experience to know more than you used to know. You didn’t give up and that’s honorable!!! Your heart is gold!!!

[@void9938]

Oh Jared, seeing you so upset hurts. You're such a caring person doing such a hard job. You haven't let anyone down, you kept trying. You found him. There are so many factors to these kinds of investigations as others have mentioned. You did good here.

[@staceypennington919]

I would like to take a minute and praise Jayden & Carson on their videography and editing. These videos have been AMAZING since you guys came on board.

[@jasonhaynes2952]

The background music (score) is perfect too. Fits the mood and dramatic moments perfectly.

[@TSBOFRLM]

Oh my! It’s so good!

[@reginab722]

I totally agree!

[@hotmoon2959]

I want to say same thing after I watched the very first AWP video. High quality videos with perfect background music

[@shaf3006]

Agreed, the sounds and cinematography are excellent

[@robhay57]

I think it's invaluable that Doug used to run a tow truck. His approach to extracting vehicles has made the difference in a successful outcome once the vehicle has been located. THank you Jared, Doug and all involved in AWP for never giving up. To Ralph's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad he's been found. ❤ I feel the 🐰 bunny was a sign. Edited to say that all of the cases you've done since he went missing a year ago enabled you to find him this time. Each case is an opportunity to learn something for the next case.

[@Amandavg]

The important part is that you kept trying and learning along the way. You still brought him home and brought his family peace. Now you can use this experience to find the next person faster. Don’t let it eat you up too much. Your work is too important. Your determination is incredible ❤️

[@polycatmagic1236]

I am so, so glad that you finally found him. And Jared, anyone would have missed the car in that debris pile. The fact that you kept coming back to this area shows your dedication and drive to find these missing loved ones. Yes, you had cleared this area before, but you came back! You kept looking because something didn't feel right, and you ended up finding him. Keep growing, keep learning, keep bringing people home.

[@roxannegallinger7511]

Don't start feeling guilty for what you do. You guys have brought many people home to their loved ones. You are awesome at what you do.

[@Smart-Towel-RG-400]

That's what gives him the drive to not give up

[@2bigrivers]

As a Newberg resident, I so appreciate your thoroughness on this case...even though it caused conflicted feelings on your previous searches...the fact that you came back and the Family has closure NOW 🙏 is A BIG TESTAMENT TO THE TYPE OF PEOPLE YOU ARE. THANK YOU Jared, Doug and crew and your family ...Blessed to have you in our neighborhood.

[@eirschu8973]

Conflicted feeling? Why, if I may ask?

[@ghostlyexe]

@@eirschu8973 I think they feel guilty cause they had already searched that area before and completely missed the car, several times. But they shouldn’t feel bad because they were determined to find him and bring his family peace and went back to the area again, to check again. Like he was saying, he’s worried if he missed this car checking three different times, how many other missing people did he miss in the past? What they did was extremely difficult and even law enforcement was unable to find the car. They did something incredible and solved his case for free, because they cared about the family members and finding the missing person, not for profit. I understand why he feels guilty, but they’re doing their best and they cannot beat themselves up for not being perfect, because no one is gonna be perfect. They’re good people who are doing something so kind and selfless, they cannot forget that just because they may have made a mistake. They never gave up, and they brought peace to his family.

[@SqueakyOojine]

I hope one day, an obligated party would recognized you guys. Because for me, you guys deserve any humanitarian award for what you do for the community not only in the US, but overseas. We need much more groups of people like you guys, especially in a world that we live in today, where any decency is hard to come by. I know I'm commenting on an older video, but I've binged watch your entire content for a few days now and I'm not even half way done. I've been living in a state of mind where it's hard for me to believe if there's any really good people left in this world , or are they just fakes, doing it just for content, and what not. But not you guys, I can feel the emotion every time you guys found your target and it feels real. I'm glad you guys shares your journey here on this platform. I believe you guys are honest people, and I believe that you guys are blessed to have the ability to do the things that normally people would charge for. I'm personally wishing you guys all the best from across the world, let it be known that AWP also has their supporters here in Malaysia. God bless.❤

[@cindycreateforlife]

If Jared and Doug had not been drawn to this place over and over again, this dear man, Ralph, would most likely never be found. Your expertise, your dedication and your intuition and your relationship with your team made it possible to find Ralph in some very extreme conditions so thank God Doug was safe and the family can process their loss properly now! Nothing is perfect in this world Jared so cut yourself some major slack, you and Doug found him!💕🇨🇦

[@CamLedbetter]

Absolutely no one faults you for not finding him sooner. As you have said, with every difficult recovery you learn valuable lessons and acquire more experience that helps you do your best work. Everything happens when it’s supposed to happen, and this was the day you were meant to find Mr. Brown. This lesson is going to help you find someone else in the future. Keep looking for signs, guys, because the balloons in the Parker case were way too on-the-nose to dismiss! Millions of people are praying and cheering you on, and that’s a whole lot of positive energy making things happen in the Universe. Thank you, from all of us who can’t be there every day! #BringThemAllHome !

[@kristineteall368]

Amen, exactly as I said!

[@SportsShorts1212]

Stumbled onto this. Absolutely remarkable! Had no idea this kind of thing existed on KZbin. As a videographer myself, this is excellent work. Storytelling, editing, audio, angles, and of course the purpose of the work…. just remarkable! I don’t subscribe to KZbin channels. Very, very rarely. But this is one that moved me enough to subscribe. Keep it up gentlemen. Amazing work you all do!

[@gdhaney136]

AWP and Chaos Divers are worth the subscribe. Using social media and the community for good is a rare find.

[@destinydesrosiers-clark1641]

Highly recommend watching all of their videos. AWP is an amazing team and have so many well done up videos! They deserve all the love, follows and support! 🤍

[@shavondaconway3518]

Omg me too narketing and do it for a non profit stumbled upon this been addicted since

[@jasonhaynes2952]

I started watching 2 years ago. when they only had 2 cases solved (the first one they stumbled upon a missing person - Timothy Robinson). AWP became the first channel on KZbin I subscribed to. Since then, they've solved another 20+ cases, and the production value and their skills continually get better!

[@candacecurtis5739]

THANK GOD FOR THESE MEN! I am so grateful that if I am ever missing a loved one, I could plead for help from these amazing and incredibly gifted human beings!!! These are incredible first responders that have volunteered their way into the hearts and minds of the world! Now they have managed to build a following and upgraded their equipment and RV, and in true hero style donated their used RV to a fellow team doing the same thing. The supporters have managed to fund over twenty recoveries of missing loved ones! Even one is worth immeasurable funds and time.

[@colleenbird8816]

This is such an incredible and emotional episode. Sending my love and condolences to Ralph Brown's family. Mr Brown looked like such a wonderful and loving man. I am so thankful to Jared, Doug and all the members of AWP for all they do to help families bring their loved ones home. The fact dthey found the car under all the trees is amazing. It broke my heart that Jared felt bad that it took longer to find him - I don't think any one else would have been able to bring Mr. Brown home to his family and the community who loved him so much.

[@bridgetcornman4495]

Please don’t put yourself down Jared,it was the right time that you found him,so many times you may have been there, but you weren’t meant to find him until you did,that’s how life works,it puts where you are supposed to be at those moments,it’s fate and you can’t change fate! Be it water conditions, or whether the family was ready,it was all meant to be at that timing! God bless you for all that you do!

[@summerhobbs7146]

100% agree! God Bless✝️

[@johngomes16]

My heart was broken seeing you upset like this Jared. Don't beat yourself up. Things happen and can be overlooked. What matters is that you listen to your gut instinct and found Ralph and brought him home. Your on the road alot and of course your bound to get tired and off key. I know, I'm a paranormal investigator and how many cases I invested, evidence to review and more gets to you. But you never gave up and kept following your instincts. Thank you so much to you and the AWP Team for what you do, go through and bringing the loved ones home so these families can have answers & closure. My prayers & condolences to the Brown family

[@mrsacarter24]

Don't beat yourself up Jared, all that matters is Ralph is going home because you guys never gave up on him! You guys are learning so much so fast and another year from now you'll know even more. Sending you all lots of love and thinking of Ralph's family x

[@sallykoelling7741]

I’m so overwhelmed with the dedication you all have to finding people and giving closure to the family.

[@asdsdjfasdjxajiosdqw8791]

You guys really have a very different definition of "clear as day" as the rest of the public. It's incredible how anyone can read sonar.

[@honey3202]

I’m glad someone pointed this out! When they show the screens they’re looking at, my mind is blown & completely lost. Takes incredible skill to read it all & to have full understanding of what it all means. Credit to them.

[@amandaf6101]

I look at the readings they get and have absolutely no clue what they’re seeing but I’ve really glad they do!

[@kaitmae6671]

As a SAR volunteer myself, I absolutely know how you feel Jared. That feeling of disappointment when you feel like you let the family down for not finding them first round. It just shows your passion and determination to do what you love and to bring them home. You guys are amazing. You made the find. Good job team!

[@CalTek]

24:06 just shows how much empathy Jared has....as much as we want to say "don't be hard on yourself....you found him"....the fact he feels guilt over "missing" him shows how much he truly cares. Love it. What I love even more is that 26:00 the team takes the time to continue to learn, grow and educate (and follow their gut) themselves. Sure they may have missed this the first time but IMO the fact they are out there doing this while others are not.......well that trumps any "misses" the first time. Keep doing what you do which is bring grieving families closure.

[@CraigMorry88UTV]

Literally found your channel about a week ago, and omg you guys are absolute heroes! The pure fact that you had 8 goes at finding this man who you didn't know for free is a credit to you and your team! You shouldn't believe that you made a mistake and missed him the first times you should be proud that you carried on looking and eventually got him and gave his family the answers they needed! You guys are amazing!

[@chadreynolds6804]

You guys have to remember, you're pioneers in this kind of searching. YOU ARE, literally writing the book. You haven't let anyone down. Your effort alone is enough . Never forget the value of your work.

[@chrisgalliher497]

Jared, please don’t be so hard on yourself. What you do for so many is so hard to do. My heart breaks each and every time I watch your recoveries. I can’t begin to imagine the stress on you and your entire crew along with your family. I’m very proud of you for doing all of this at no cost to the families. It takes a very strong person to this because you know in your gut that when you find your target it’s the end to a tragic loss. But it’s the beginning of the healing as well. It’s very humbling to watch you all at work. May God bless you all and keep you safe. And please take time to destress and mourn in your own way. Yes, it is closure! But it’s not a easy closure for any of you. Love you and all of your crew and thank you so much for your continued fight to help all in need for answers.

[@nikkirobeson9953]

This doesn’t define you in a negative manner. You turned around and tried one more time. You listened to your gut. If anything, this makes people believe in you even more. The point is, you found him. Doesn’t matter if you cleared it three times, you didn’t give up. You found him! The emotions. The heart. You’re amazing and so is your team.

[@lilkideyme]

This is an extremely emotional video. Watching the the conversations about their doubt and how stressed they felt about missing him in previous searches was upsetting to watch. You have not let us down.

[@michaelpayne5545]

Jared, don’t beat yourself up over this. We’re human and all make mistakes. Most important thing is you found him and the family now has closure. As with most things in life, this may be a “lessons learned” experience, and you may learn from this in solving future cases, and apply what you learned in this case to future cases.

[@y.t.grandma6419]

Straight up PROFESSIONALS. My youngest son is an Army Combat Medic, Veteran. He was deployed drinking and suicidal, suffering from PTSD. The powerlessness as his mom that I experienced, with him 1/2 way around the world was overwhelming. Thank you so much for not giving up. These families need you.

[@logicalannie4794]

I hope people fully realise the danger that Doug puts himself in with these rescues, not once but several times over from the dives in dangerous conditions to the dangerous task of vehicle recovery, utmost respect to anyone willing to risk their own lives to do this for others. I cried several times from the heartfelt guilt from missing the car previously to the respectful recovery. Worlds a better place for such amazing people as yourselves.

[@BrookeNC]

Jared, you are an amazing person and you have found people that have been missing for years that NO ONE else found. No one is perfect and what makes you so amazing is your humility, your integrity, your selflessness and your heart. Please never stop what you are doing, never doubt yourself, and do not beat yourself up. If I ever have anyone go missing you will be who I call for help!!!!

[@franceswatts4001]

This has to be the best episode you have ever done. I was completely gripped the entire time, not only by the emotional and sensitively handled storyline, but the incredible cinematography and editing. It was on a par with corporate productions. All of you have grown as a team, and I salute you all.

[@freshfinds189]

You can tell how relieved the family members are. From their happy reactions you can tell they've gone through the grieving process and now they are just happy to have answers. Well done, guys 👏

[@angelawilkerson2703]

Jarod, I understand why you’re feeling the way you do, BUT, you never gave up or quit when others have! You didn’t miss something earlier, because it was buried by debris. You followed your instincts and brought him home! Please don’t let this haunt you.

[@angeliquewhite6631]

AMEN!!! Just what I came to say...he could have "missed" it 100 times for any number of reasons but that was 100 times you never gave up on Ralph or his family!! All of you guys are angels to so many families ❤️

[@ODGreenZa]

Bless you guys. My uncle has been missing since October last year. I wish we had someone like you here. It's been tough on the family. Closure is such an underrated thing.

[@kristainyoung9358]

Ralph kept bringing you back here. He kept showing you that he was there in different ways. You found him, you gave the family closure. You did amazing!

[@samanthas3248]

I love how comfortable the police were! Like usually theres a least one point where they question or eye the camera before seeming to be okay with it, these guys even let some cinematic/creative shots fly 🤣 love it. Proud of y’all for bringing Ralph home! ❤️

[@wesleyshoup3936]

Thank you all from Northwestern towing to the law enforcement Jared, Doug, Carson Matt and the family for never giving up and letting you guys do the recovery. I am so glad to be part of this movement. Jared please don't beet yourself up about this case you all have learned so much over the year, you guys brought him home to his family and that is truly what matters NEVER GIVING UP

[@Sdsacanita196]

Jared, don't beat yourself, you're keeping going til you find him, you're human, you're certainly the best people for this job xx

[@nanmattingly6402]

Every time I see a car coming out of the water, with almost a 99% certainty contains the body of someone's loved one, I get chills, then I cry. Thank you AWP for the wonderful volunteer work you do. Not enough words for how awesome you all are.

[@karenreinholt4207]

Thank you to Jared and Doug. I’m a native Oregonian, living in Portland. Every case you work on is special. But the ones you do in Oregon are near and dear to my heart. Thanks for your perseverance which led to finding Mr. Brown and providing answers to his loving family.

[@margaretsalyer5442]

This recovery shows how AWP is dedicated to what you do! You didn’t give up! You used that 6th sense that you have. Jared and Doug you are amazing as are all the teams that are searching for loved ones. Thank you for bringing Ralph home! Love from Hanford, California

[@tiffanybrown1715]

Jared, it's impossible to be perfect. I know it hurts your heart when you miss something but you're human. Thank you for caring so deeply about what you do.

[@dorothyc6390]

Hey Jared. Ralph would be proud of you.. You , Doug and The Dream Team did it! Along with the Authorities and Norwestern Towing & Recovery and all who assisted. This is a miracle guys. A true miracle. Rest in Heaven Ralph

[@juliecoleman1898]

oh Jared you guys have worked so hard on this case. Please don't beat yourself up for not finding him when you looked before. He wasn't meant to be found at that time. This is why you were drawn back here, because it was now your time to find him. Kudos to all of you for another lost one found. Your tenacity is what brings you these results and helps a family to lay a loved one to rest and help them move on.

[@barbaraanderson58]

You guys have no quit. You keep learning and developing your skills like the pros you are. If not for those qualities, Ralph wouldn't have been found. This was a tough one! Thank you for your hard work!

[@marti_malkani]

You guys are an amazing team and you do a great job. You are replacing the institutions that should have solved these cases sooner. I admire you for your calmness and composure, full of professionalism! Chapeau bas!

[@CharlotteJanvier30]

I nearly cried when Jared started tearing up 😭 please, please do NOT feel bad. You found him and the family will forever be eternally grateful. Do not second guess anything. You did amazing, as does Doug and the rest of your team. Chin up, you've not let anybody down. Families out there are very lucky to have you guys do what you do. Don't feel bad at all, your instinct is always right and it just proves it when you said you found Ralph before you even dived on the car. ❤️ Keep being amazing. X

[@cookim8364]

Don’t beat yourself up Jared. The thing is that you kept going back, your intuition drew you all back. At the right time. At the beginning you said it yourself, same time of year and fresh eyes and new and growing skills from the past year of learning. And you all are continuing to grow and work as a team. That benefits more and more as you continue on this amazing journey… deepest condolences may you Rest In Peace Mr Brown.

[@LAJACOBS1]

I cried many tears in this episode. I felt so many emotions, but when Jared was so hard on himself made me hurt even more. The AWP team is amazing. The respect and dignity that you give not only to the family, but to the person who is being recovered is so warm and loving. There are no words to describe how the closer you give to families other then love and compassion. God has given you a mission and you do it with such passion. God bless all of the members of AWP.
