[@allenhonaker4107]

All the different search groups should get together and upload a data base of what bodies of water have been searched in each state. It would save time for any follow up searches

[@susanfranks-craun811]

I have been thinking the same thing! It would be nice to have everything in one place, easy to search for info. Put some security in place along with data managers and it would be awesome! 😀😀😀😀

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

No. One group might find someone - and the do - in a body of water some other group has allready searched. Nobodys perfect, these two guys might miss something another group could find.

[@allenhonaker4107]

@@rudolphbondefangerer5513 Your point has a lot of merit but this would give the other groups the ability to search the unsearched areas first and then double back on the previously searched ones.

[@Michelle-jn2kb]

Yea Nug was making a page for that but i dont think it went anywhere.

[@stancherry4716]

Agree 100%

[@graciemaca6996]

Hey guys, maybe keep a set of long pants and sneakers in the truck as a back-up for when you're wearing shorts and flip-flops. It will spare your feet and legs when you have to walk thru the briars.😊 Great job hunting for this woman and all that you do!

[@JoshCantu]

Nice works guys! Was really hoping you had found her when i saw the title! I appreciate you guys making the effort. The 1% chance is plenty of reason to try in my eyes!

[@joannastratton8395]

It's heartbreaking that she's been missing all those years.. I pray one day her family will have answers.. God bless you for giving it all you can to search for her.. God bless and be with you always ..

[@SaltwaterSean]

Adam you are just levelling up the work you're doing.

[@NeatNoodle]

I was just thinking that if a car went into a bogy area, would it be possible for the bog to eventually grow over it making it impossible to ever find it again? I've spent a little time on a bog and its amazing what they can reclaim over time.

[@DanaCrosby]

I just found me a wave kayak Now to buy the Propulsion system and remote control

[@sykwookiee]

Ever consider a sail? I did that in the 80s...

[@shookbrii]

Hows it going? I got the wave kayak a little bit ago too

[@verna-r9p]

Nice job guys. I think you're going to have to get some more information to proceed. Old maps, route's that weren't there 40 years ago. What the neighborhood looked like. Most of all, try to find out where she was going. The Little Buddy is definitely a useful piece of equipment. Keep up the good work guys. You will always be needed. This is sad, but try. In today's world it is going to get worse before it gets better. Love you both. God speed and be safe.

[@dawnlindgron5570]

That would be a great idea Allan ! That Sonar boat is really a time saver and leaves no doubt that there might have been something there ,

[@CarCrazy12804]

Keep on the great work! Its hard to say by now her car could be totally buried by under water sediment if she didnt go over state borders instead.

[@doreenpople3760]

I so wish i could do what all you search and rescue people do.

[@dannagilliss6310]

It also could be covered by other stuff from all the rain and other weather. Thank you for all you guys do. Prayers from north Alabama ❤

[@stimpy1ful]

Great job 🤘😻👌 thumbs up 👍

[@Suebe1962]

Great job, guys!!! 😊

[@mariaocallaghan-lp5nw]

Adam n Jeffery yer quite a team n only d two of ye working together.amazing .dat prtable boat is fab.keep up d good work ❤❤

[@dsinavich5141]

Hi . 40 years is a very long time to be missing . She could be close to home or even in another state . Not very much information about why she left home or her state of mind . Also all the years have definitely changed the landscape and waterways . Tough job to locate a car or remains after all this time. Good luck . Take care . Deborah 🇨🇦

[@kathrynboyd8621]

Love your lil remote vehicle ❤

[@Yodatell]

Thanks for all your doing for families, stay safe ❤

[@manderson3231]

You guys should carry some boots and long pants in your truck. 😊 Great job guys!!😊

[@gcangel7673]

Hey guys forty years ago the water tables were really high. Lake st. clair one.of the big lakes in Michigan had dropped 20 feet since 1980s. Just saying, the pond might be shallow but might be hiding a car in the debris muck. I lived on a lake where the muck was 20 feet deep.

[@saintsefo4763]

Hi, Adam and Jeremy. It looks like even just using BOB to search smaller areas, isn't as easy as one would think especially with having to make your way through the undergrowth. Good effort on this very old cold case. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe, you guys 👍

[@Wherethewindblows524]

Amen to that 🙏❤🙏 love for humanity!

[@Aaron-hu1rm]

Good to see you two consistantly out there searching, Best of Luck of course!

[@NeatNoodle]

Well done, always appreciate you looking.

[@peteraitken6494]

Great search again guys must be frustrating as hell at times when there is not much to go off , and with such a small car if in the water how much could it have deteriorated and could be buried a couple of feet in silt too ,very hard to find but I’m sure if it’s in the water you will find it great effort thanks for sharing take care and all the best .ps. Hopefully the woman who’s purse you found got in touch 👍👌❤️🙏

[@galemilton1741]

Hi Guys keep up the good work!!

[@lynnholland8355]

I did a lot of hiking through some fairly dense briar bogs. I made gators of different lengths to cover bare skin on my legs when in shorts. They are easy to make. I prefer zippers to Velcro. You might prefer carrying them because they are lightweight

[@justchriswilldo...7179]

Question?.. Adam is there, anyway, you can put a small box in the corner of what's being scanned?.... It's fascinating seeing what's under the water and you never know a viewer might spot something you guys may have missed! Not likely being ya both Pro at this by now!....but the radar is super interesting content... Keep up the amazing work guys and stay safe.

[@lindadee6603]

Hello Adam & Jeremy 😊 Awe long time that lady has not been found.

[@Bayougurl1961]

Hello @ Adam & Nug much love to you both ❤❤

[@debrasimons5599]

Adam that is a neat little boat it does such a great job and saves a lot of diving. It is so useful. Great job guys.

[@donnanewberry1904]

Good luck.

[@MrSamisue27]

Algorithms and engagement day 3: that lake/pond you drove along was such a beautiful little area!!! Bet those trees were babies 40 years ago!

[@gcangel7673]

Recently saw a video of a VW rabbit pulled from the water. I don't recall which of the diving teams recover it. They're pretty rare car and get like 60 mpg.

[@keith2059]

Greetings Adam, Jeremy, and fans; hope everyone has a wonderful week and Thanksgiving! Take care, and be safe!

[@ChristinaSealey-lh1mz]

Love the video's keep up the good work

[@kathrynboyd8621]

You're doing a awesome job!

[@beckysvintageandmore6002]

Maybe you should bring a backup pair of long pants and shoes that are better than flip flops in a bag you can grab easy! Stickers are hard on you all! 😊

[@kraigkline4375]

You guys found a rectangle shaped thing on the bottom of one of those ponds. If most of the car was burried in silt after 40 years, and all that was sticking up was the top of that VW Rabbit, it would look like a rectangle. Maybe you better go back and check out that rectangle.

[@kathymonahan8024]

Get one of those new mini chain saw tools to clear brush when needed

[@jennypursche4488]

Well done Adam making that boat. Cheers from Adelaide South Australia 😊

[@Wherethewindblows524]

Man i love that boat setup! ❤❤

[@Wherethewindblows524]

Thanks!

[@AdamBrownAdventures]

Thank you for the support 🙏

[@Wherethewindblows524]

U 2 r a great team! ❤❤

[@wheelytrue]

I would suggest to connecting the rc boat with a fishing line and use a reel and rod to bring it back within radio signal range.

[@tracybeardshall4508]

Well done with your search guys 👍👍

[@elinsmestadandreassen4129]

Hi Adam, if you have seen Adventures with purpose, They or Jared uses a map that can seen areas back in years. I haven’t the name of this map

[@amadagongora2666]

Not not fair giving away things or equipment Jared have, people should mine their own business 😮

[@saintsefo4763]

​@amadagongora2666 This isn't a competition. It's about hopefully locating vehicles and maybe, just maybe, a missing person.

[@christinablair1978]

All of these guys/groups know who AWP is. They all used to work together, until Jarod's past resurfaced (rape.) They all broke ties with him after that.

[@katesharrow5077]

the map is called SARTAUPO

[@MarianneD1952]

1980 VW Rabbit is just about 4.6ft tall.

[@MarianneD1952]

1420mm in height.

[@alanshaffer6724]

Hi Adam. Hi Jeremy.

[@tammiecox7709]

Keep up the good work

[@michaelbruner6551]

Have ever asked around if the city elevated a pond and filled it in with dirt

[@t.n.9720]

Great work and video ☺️

[@geneg4246]

Love the little boat! How about some wheels under it and a wagon for the monitor.... ;) this is making me tired. I seen you walk the boat and stuff a long way once. So just putting it out there :)

[@elikapeka5905]

The landscape could look different 40 years ago From Reddit, she could have drove to a different state I hope one day her family will have answers One day, i hope to get to look for her again I'm glad HOA gave you permission to search a lake Barbara, give the searchers a sign You and Jeremy need to be more prepared for snatching in the bushes Give us an update about the purse 👛 Like Jeremy said she could be a shallow area, like the college young man Jeremy needs some energy/motivation

[@stancherry4716]

Go back and look at 15:00 to 15:40 on the left side of screens was that a car??

[@Dreamz-vr8zc]

Remember that every pond could have been 1 meter deeper 40 years ago. That much mud can definitely form during this time.

[@debbief2882]

Long pants, Adam!

[@RobCoop]

Hi there Adam and Jeremy I was wondering what type of sonar you guy's are using here?

[@noeleenward4211]

What happened to the lady handbag and why was it there. You didn't give an update

[@kjking66]

Didnt Chaos divers rule out lakes etc? Or am I thinking of the wrong person?

[@lauranowak3632]

I absolutely love that you’re focusing on a case that is almost forty years old. To think that I was just starting my sophomore year of high school when this woman went missing is almost unbelievable, but I know there’s cases even older than this one. I can’t imagine how hard this must be affecting her family. Are you aware of any group outings in 2024 where multiple search groups are going to get together to try to find missing loved ones? I feel as if there’s been a separation between the groups since the whole disaster that shall not be mentioned. The group efforts seemed to give such a momentum to such an ambitious important mission! Please stay in touch with each other, I have massive respect for all outside of one. Thank you as always for everything that you do, I have the utmost respect for your kindness, sacrifice and diligence!! P.S. Perhaps you should keep some extra shoes / pants in your vehicles in case you run into rough terrain? Along with some gloves, and a first aid kit? I truly want you to be able to continue your journey, and don’t want to see you injured in any manner 🤞

[@Michelle-jn2kb]

Did ever hear back from the lady about her purse?

[@bellanatalie333]

This is what I'm worried about.

[@glenncowie6536]

Adam, you don't carry, extra close, in your truck??

[@gordonchaboyer1636]

Seek and thy shall find .

[@deloresdunbar1464]

Google Earth to see what the areas looked like earlier.

[@henrybucki7813]

31:15 84 years ago?

[@saintsefo4763]

😂 Yeah, I thought I heard that, too.

[@katesharrow5077]

40 years ago

[@danmcgraw325]

You need a straight shaft weed eater with a blade for those briars. We grow them mean in Alabama. 😂😂

[@SHOINOFF]

I think thats a vw rabbit.

[@t.n.9720]

🌸

[@brandiewade7107]

She went missing 5 days&16 months before I was born

[@bobbykennedy4274]

Yall gotta think a car underwater 40 years its going to sink in the mud at least 16 to 19 inches in bottom of Lake or river and that car maybe 5 foot tall it be at least 4foot on bottom sunk into mud

[@williammorris1507]

💯❤️🙏

[@Windy-clouds76]

Good try…❤

[@SMcCaskill]

I suspect this poor lady may have chosen to end her life in a remote place where it would be difficult to find her. Having read up on articles about her it sounds like she may have been severely depressed.

[@coolinwithlaura4114]

Everything I c one of this all I can wish is that I'm lucky enough to come up missing.... I hate my life and one day I'll abandon all the people I know and bounce

[@garyduvall7266]

watch out for the gators in them swamp areas

[@Mega_Trond]

Where is the pink car? 😂

[@angelahewlett1872]

Losing daylight, fast, maybe??

[@lucyl6135]

It looks like you scanned it but neither of you was watching the screen to see if anything was in there. Both of you didn’t seem motivated enough to even be there. Just my opinion

[@sisan8397]

Adam when are you going to learn about wearing pants and real shoes for your trips 😭😰

[@caroltetreault5946]

Hey, guys. I'm wondering is Nug as uncomfortable in his skin as he seems?

[@grumpyvet7670]

It's sad that such a beautiful woman's life ended tragically. Where did you get your RC boat from?

[@mary-jomarshall2027]

To long
