THE CLUE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING... (Michael's Last Email)

[@paulbhager]

Honestly, I find it impressive that the police have humbled themselves and asked for help and using all possible resources in the search.

[@serenity6415]

Yes!!! I just cannot stand when LE had any kind of attitude regarding this. A huge thank you to the Middle Township Police Department for showing how it should be done.

[@mandamorris7934]

Agree totally! Goes to show the reputation AWP has worked so hard to build. Really proud of this search for this team, and for the symbiotic relationship with law enforcement.

[@yms1974]

just goes to show not all LE are dicks. there are still some with common sense and decency !

[@gayle8153]

It’s so good to see all parties working together, each doing part of the whole process needed to find these loved ones. I know it’s not always this way.

[@destinydtownsend]

Thank you for helping bring awareness to huntington's disease im praying for this family. I lost my mom to huntington's disease and a few other family members.

[@MrsMoon-qs2gf]

I worked at a small family newspaper in California in the 1980's. Huntington's disease ran in their family. The father, an uncle and then the eldest brother all died from it. I remember the brother coming around at Christmas time handing out bonuses. He was in a wheelchair with a caregiver as he had little control of his limbs and bodily functions. When he came to my desk and was introduced to me he started singing "Moon Over Miami" so beautifully and perfectly it reduced me to tears! His arms flailed in all directions as he handed me my bonus. I worked for them for six years but never saw him again. Horrible disease!

[@michladd24]

I had an uncle that died from that disease. I don't remember him because my family never let me see him because of the disease he had and they didn't think it would be appropiate for me to see him at the tender age of 7 (1986). My Great Grandparents gave my sister and I balloons to pass out at school that said, "end Huntington's disease". It was like he almost didn't exist until he died, when my Aunt asked me to be his pallbearer at his funeral. I was an adult by that time (2000' something) and didn't remember him at all. I told her I would be because I loved her so much and didn't wan't to be an ass about it. His casket was so light that I wondered if anyone was in it? But then again there were 6 of us cousing, nephews, and family members carrying it. You are right though, it is a horrible disease.

[@michladd24]

Correction my uncle died in 1998. I was still a teenager at the age of 19. Sorry guys but my math and memories are bad. 25 years is a long time!

My husband and I have starting watching your episodes and we are really amazed at the work you all do! You all are so great and very respectful to the families that are searching for lost loved ones. Bringing closure to suffering family members is so very important. Keep up the awesome work and please stay safe!

[@janryckmans3902]

There are not much KZbin channels those days that are so genuine without focusing on their selves. Allways respectfull without looking for spectacle. An oddity these days and you guys can be proud of yourselfs.

Omg I know how he feels because I have Huntington's Disease too and it's a devil disease 😢

[@breezieb3297]

Hi guys, I just recently heard of a missing persons case, Stacey Smart. She went missing in Lewiston, CA, on November 2, 2016, and her family is still looking for her with no answers and little to no media coverage on her case. They're offering a reward, but knowing how you guys are, I know you'd do it without the payment. Please look into it 🙏

[@sarahp5244]

Did she go missing with her car ?

[@esthervanlanen538]

Send them an email because they might not see the comments on this video.

[@maarten252]

Thanks for helping to search for this man. I hope the family can find some closure.

[@bethroblek5563]

There is no such thing as CLOSURE….ITS CALLED RESOLUTION!!! These families still have to live with the fact their loved ones are departed from their lives, whether it’s intentional, accident or homicide……so CLOSURE is never possible….justice and resolution are all the family really get…….🩷🩷🩷

Did they search at the end of Grassy sounds road...below the bridge going into Wildwood? There used to be an old wooden bridge that was replaced by the higher bridge. The road now dead ends at the edge of the water.

I hope that they can find the car and bring closure to the family as to what happen to him.

Love your videos just a little feedback. Can you please post the date that the videos were originally filmed. Just an interesting piece missing from the videos!

[@herec0mestr0ble]

That’s how they create content. These guys aren’t even apart of awp anymore. This was recorded 1.5 years ago. It wasn’t worth it then, but now they realize they can make content even if it doesn’t amount to anything. A lot of channels are doing the same thing or opposite these days. A&E literally posts the same stories on a weekly basis. It’s all about making more videos to equate to more views.

They are public servants and have no rights to privacy in public. Anything seen with the eye is recordable.

[@kevinsworld.7086]

​@@robinhays1011 The type of person I am I wouldn't ever record an undercover cop for that reason specifically, but no matter if they are undercover or a street cop they can all be recorded they all signed up and was sworn into the same job. Even a court house clerk can be recorded as the constitution give Americans the right to do so. Regardless if it's a respectful thing to do. It says ANY public servant may be recorded. Except in cases of like the judge in a court room, but even then it can only be a court room .

I'm actually impressed Doug... You know that I've been a bit critical of some of your on-camera comments. This is much more of what the viewers would expect, the family, friends, and casual observers.

Do cops just not like when you do their job that they gave up on? You would think every officer would be right there helping them. 😮

The departments may not have the high tech equipment like AWP has. Watch the Kiely Rodni case, where Nick and Doug were stumped, yet kept looking at different angles and images, but had the experience to thinking it was a boat, to a wheel, (That I can still not detect in the image) yet it was her SUV.

[@loisenolp4746]

Ive lived in this area my whole life and I don’t know how you can narrow that all down bc in that area there are tons of places he could have done that. Literally tons! Plus there is ocean access in that whole area. Just drive right up RT 9 and you can exit any area from cape may (the very bottom of NJ ) up North Jersey. That literally is a needle in a haystack. Also I thought it was funny when he said I’m heading to The Cape May Court house. 😂 it’s a weird NJ thing and Cape May Court House is the name of the town 😂 for some reason NJ loves to name roads and towns the same names. For instance we have a Hamilton in south Jersey and one in North Jersey. Same with Monroe Township. Also some roads will just randomly change names!
