You're doing an awesome job finding lost loved ones. It's a great thing to help find a since of relief and comfort to know what happened.

[@thaliazelmer2327]

Wonderful work as usual Jared and team. Been daily watching this mini-series documenting your Sacramento week's worth of searching. It is astounding experiencing the expertise & empathy of your Purpose developing from your diving beginnings to now. AWP is the only YT channel I have subscribed to ever, and I will to the end of my days. I firmly believe in Jared and his true dedication and sincerity.

I was 9 when my mother died. She was 40 years old in 1973. A flu was winding down called the Hong Kong flu, which was considered a minimal issue per capita. My father never remarried. He passed in 2007 of complications related to Altzheimers. 😢 I have one sibling who never got past our loss.❤

[@LouiseMalmhag]

I am so sorry to hear about your mothers passing at such a young age. And I am sorry to hear about your sibling never been able to overcome the loss. I hope that you have been able to live a good life despite losing your mother at such a young age.

[@dcricket1]

I had the Hong Kong flu right in that time frame. There was no minimal to it. It was deadly. I was a junior in high school and literally had to have assistance getting to the bathroom. Fever 102-103. I felt I was dying. I weighed 98 lbs and could not support my own weight. My Dad carried me to the bathroom. I’m so sorry you lost your Mom. This was considered from my newspaper clippings I only recently threw away a National health epidemic.

[@jadedmonk7001]

I remember that flu...Big love coming at you❤

[@dcricket1]

@@spacecowgurl57 just a short addendum…I lost my biological Dad when I was 4 1/2 yrs and he was 40 after a car accident with a drunk driver. I understand losing a parent early. I don’t know if being any older would have made things better or worse. I’m so sorry about your loss. You would think I could not possibly have memories back that far but I guess I’m just one of those that do. I have memories or the Christmas before. My Mom was just paralyzed emotionally after his death. His death was never discussed due to it upsetting her. We actually moved in with her brother just younger than her whose wife died the year before and had 3 boys just about my age. He was a blessing to her and me. Due to her depression and anxiety I was in my 30’s before we actually had a talk about him. I told her I wanted to tell her what I remember and see if they were truly my memories of what happened or something I’d heard. She was in a state of shock as I started telling her things said, done that full last year. Things she thought no one knew. I didn’t have that conversation until after I had gone to my Dad’s gravesite in a large county cemetery a couple hours from where I’ve always lived. We had never been back after his burial and drove straight to it. In the middle of this large cemetery with the little town having a population of about 500 people. Flat marker. Could not be seen sticking up and had never seen pictures of it. How I just knew where to go I’ll never know. I told her I’d been to the cemetery and found the grave and she turned pale. Asked how or who told me how to find it. I just said no one, I just knew. After that was the long awaited talk. I feel so much empathy for both you and your sibling. I too am like your brother, I’ve still to this day at 68 never gotten over losing my Dad. It has become more comforting when I can now tell my Dad and myself when I pray that I’m no longer further away but getting closer to a reunion with him. Holidays are still tough for me as he was killed December 23 and buried Dec 24th. Mother died November 22nd and was buried November 24th on my husband’s birthday and the day before Thanksgiving. Turning 40 was a shock. In my mind I’d grown up believing 40 was old!!! What a shock it was to discover he was young!! You and your family are and will remain in my prayers. Merry Christmas!

[@GLITTERandSKULLZ]

In 1977 my aunts boyfriend and love of her life went missing from Everglades City, Florida. He left in his car and was never seen or heard from again and she's never gotten over it.

[@belindawhisman2806]

So sorry. Email them. 😢

[@gregadams558]

I see the cars on the scanner better when I take my glasses off, odd.

[@MaryRobinson-pp2in]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, God Bless

[@KK__x]

That RX7 looks like a 70's Datsun Fairlady 240/260/280Z

[@NZMOPAR]

I was thinking the same thing by the rear lights . Looks like a 260 because of the side light

[@southernhali1596]

Just a FYI, a lot of old plates have the year of 1955 but newer cars will have the 1955 plates on them, could be a DMV thing at the time. Just keep that in mind

[@deannawheeler4362]

Did you use the absorb pads to soak up the oil and gas?? Really needed to on this one if the goal is to clean up the water. If you need more let us know how to help you get some. Thank you for all you do.

[@LouiseMalmhag]

Something is telling me that something went wrong when the deal he was going to close, went wrong and he ended up dead. And someone hid his body somewhere. I really hope that I am wrong and that it is just a tragic accident, but mostly I hope he will be found so that his children finally will have answers to where he has been. And so that they can give him a proper funeral and have a place where they can go and visit him.

[@travismcmaster3310]

I don’t know if anyone has already reached out to you but I live in Gridley Ca and two teen brothers have gone missing in a lake between Gridley and Oroville Ca. It’s been 8 days since they fell in. Please reach out if you can help

[@leeholden8658]

The red car looks more like an old Datsun 260z rather than a Mazda RX7. Again I could be totally wrong but I was right about the Chevy in the last one.

[@coachgeo]

most folk will identify a Sprint in the mind better when you describe it as the more common name of "El Camino". Yeah... same but not same vehicle "technically" just El Camino name is more known is all.

[@shanapalmer8763]

today me and my mom picked a person and she said she heard her kid scrheming under a house and both kids were missing its so sad

[@yomamasmama]

When is Day 4 coming?

[@gregadams558]

Is it possible some of the cars were dumped across the river and floated to this side?

[@roxanecordle6705]

[@henrikkofoed9822]

[@edrobins6739]

First time since the 70s that anyone has searched for his father. Rather than stay and watch, his son says he is going home to do housework. Have you ever heard anything so crass...

[@lucius6667]

Need to look at that mercury part as they shared the parts bin with multiple models you might find it belongs to a missing car

[@organrick]

That’s true, and in some cases, used for different brands. I heard somewhere that both GM and Ford used the same roof for their full size wagons between the late 1970s and early 1990s, in other words, they both used the same supplier. I remember being in a Toyota Camry and the rear view mirror was the same one I had in the Ford Taurus I had at the time. Ford used to make a similar vehicle to the ElCamino/Sprint called the Ranchero, so there might be a possibility that there was a possibility that maybe some of those parts might’ve been used for both vehicles.

[@SHARONKEEF_FkR_justice4john]

I just don’t understand why they want he’ll find #mitondanielfrost #walkercounty #alabama #carrielawson is also missing folks where chartered but she was never found !

[@tanyapeters5062]

To the last Tow truck driver, What does to the River mean for those that live near Tracy, Stockon, lathrop and Manteca ? Do you come this far ?

[@gregadams558]

Poor Jared needs a car wizard to hang out with.

[@TylerMetz-wf7em]

I have seen cars jump a guardrail it depends on how fast they're going when it comes to guardrails in car accident

[@georgiagamer2816]

Hey Jared, couple questions for you is regarding to Julie. one question what if she came back to Georgia? And the other question you said that she has three uncashed check? The last question for you is who does she know in Georgia?

[@georgiagamer2816]

Since Julie has a Georgia license plate on her car

[@gregadams558]

[@moorzy2k7soton]

Hi gared Hi, I really like watching your website and video, but it would be easier for me to understand everything you say, if there was a translation. Could you please add the Hebrew language to the list of languages ​​that can be translated from English? Thank you very much. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 In the settings it says that whoever publishes a video, can change and add whatever he wants, on his website.

[@lorawiese5897]

34 cases solved. 35 individuals. Samantha Hopper & her young daughter, Courtney Holt are combined into one case; even though she was pregnant, officials only count individuals born via a live birth.

[@KathrynMiller-n9l]

The dad was 38 when he disappeared.

[@surge_quicki]

Not an rx7!

[@NZMOPAR]

It's looks like 260z

[@lindatarlton2578]

Does Jared have an underwater drone? If not, we all need to step up and help him get one! What say you?
