🎬 Episode 1: • Mysteries In Dark Plac...
🎬 Episode 2: • Mysteries In Dark Plac...
💔Kidnapping & Murder of Julian Kirchoff:
On February 8, 2007, in Bisbee, Arizona, a chilling abduction unfolded that remains unsolved to this day. Kirchoff, driving his mother's gold 1992 Nissan Maxima, found himself embroiled in a violent confrontation with up to seven cartel members at Esperanza Apartments. In a desperate attempt to escape, he collided with another vehicle, a moment shattered by the sound of a gunshot. Witnesses watched in horror as Kirchoff was forcibly dragged from his car and shoved into the backseat by one of his assailants, before being whisked away south towards the Mexican border, just five miles distant.
Police, alerted at 11:30 p.m., arrived to find only a haunting clue: an empty .380 shell casing. Kirchoff, along with the Nissan Maxima, vanished without a trace.
Despite identifying four suspects believed to now be in Mexico, and the lack of evidence of Kirchoff or his car crossing the border, authorities have been unable to charge anyone. Kirchoff's disappearance, leaving behind a girlfriend and young son, is out of character and foul play is strongly suspected. His case remains a haunting mystery, a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in the cartel shadows of our communities.
💔Kidnapping & Murder of Ella Mae Begae:
In the serene yet remote landscape of the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona, a horrific mystery unfolded that shook the community to its core. Ella Mae Begay, a respected elder known for her exquisite Navajo rug weaving, vanished into the night of June 15, 2021.
Ella Mae’s disappearance is marked by unsettling clues: her truck, a silver 2005 Ford F-150, was last seen leaving her property at 2:30 a.m., an hour wholly out of character for the cautious Begay. The discovery of her home's kicked-open door & blood only deepened the mystery. By morning, with no sign of Begay, her daughter sounded the alarm. An investigation ensued that has uncovered evidence of murder & mayhem. Our team dives deeper into this case in an upcoming episode that will leave you absolutely shocked. Begay and her F-150 remains missing, her community and family left grappling with the haunting possibility of foul play, mutiple retaliations and much more. Her case, emblematic of the dangers that loom even in the most secluded of places, remains a stark reminder of the vulnerability of those living on reservations, their safety eclipsed by the shadows of unsolved crimes. A crisis beyond comprehension that deserves justice.

Great episode, I admire this Teams work. The exquisite drone footage goes a long way to illustrate the remoteness and beauty of the area. Well done !!

[@christophergolding4823]

That's weird I live in Tucson and fish and camp at that campground and right at that boat ramp all the time.

[@MsLiz2005]

​@@christophergolding4823I'm in Tucson too

[@rosedavis4405]

The name don't matter its what they are doing is what matters. Proud of you Doug

[@StacieKing-cm3eb]

Who is Doug? He is a beast of a diver and locator of missing persons in their vehicles underwater!❤️

[@tyreljohnson9207]

Man I was pumped to stumble across this!! Love seeing you back in the game Doug

[@leesasees]

Thank you Doug, Josh and all the crew for another video. It's so good to see you two working together again.

[@jeffheaslip]

Exceptional video guys! Thanks Elite towing for helping in the recovery and nice to see Doug , and Josh doing what they do best! A lot of great teamwork by all involved!

[@bonerush]

Much appreciated as always Jeff.

[@Dazza_21]

Get answers for families. I always say that you guys are doing God’s work here on earth and I truly believe that ❤

[@angelathomas4391]

Love how Doug just threw out our crazy temps like they were no big deal. I’ve lived here my whole life and 127 is brutal. No mention by Doug about the crazy wildlife lol

[@john3Lee]

Great content - and perfectly presented... Thank you.

[@OBG623]

I live in Arizona, you should check the Gila river from the reservation to gila bend, I've seen a lot of sketchy stuff fishing that river over the past 20 years 😬

[@PistachioVentures]

One of the weirdest things I've ever seen was in this exact area back in 2018. I was driving home to California coming down 85 late at night (driving into the sunset for hours is no fun lol) when I came across a: a semi on the shoulder with his trailer open, no lights on, driver using a flashlight b: a police explorer parked in front of that semi and c: ANOTHER semi with his trailer open and lights off. No headlights, no emergency lights, no hazards, nothing. I saw one flashlight as I drove by and have always wondered what they were up to.

[@kathyfreeman5281]

Good luck doug

[@briannecaswell6204]

I love that you say, "unless you have been living under a rock" lol....that part!

[@jakiosborne7631]

I love you all for your help in these cases

[@robertanderson8537]

love you passion doug keep doing what yall do

[@marlainarizona2100]

I live in Arizona and it’s true there are so many missing people. My great aunt went missing in the 60’s. It has always been thought her husband killed her and buried her in the desert because he was very abusive but there has never been any evidence. She simply disappeared without any personal property, so slim chance she would be in water unless in a barrel. Keep up the wonderful work you do!

[@linebrunelle1004]

hopefully there will eventually be a resolution. 😥

[@aletcloete6910]

Good work Doug❤

[@karawonder4492]

Thanks going out to everyone who keeps going and searching for that are lost

I've been a die-hard fan of your show for about 4 or 5 months now. Love what you are doing. I have a question, I've noticed everytime you dive on a vehicle. You walk into the water backyard. Is there a reason why you go in that way? Thank you for helping these people find their loved ones. You all make a huge difference out there ❤

[@Suebe1962]

Great job, Doug, Josh, and Bone Rush!!! Keep searching, I'm hoping and praying you will find the missing and bring them home. Big shout out to Elite Towing for doing a fantastic job getting the truck out of the water!!!

[@SoldierBoy13]

Born and raised in phoenix. I would be shocked if lake Pleasant didnt have 10 plus cars and dozens of boats as the lake is very large and getting a car into the lake in a secluded area wouldnt be difficult at all. Ive always heard the backside of lake Pleasant specifically table mesa road was a place to dump all kinds of things in the water.

I live in a city where a river runs directly through it. I KNOW there has to be cars in the river! I've tried multiple searches for an estimate of how many cars could be in the river and..... nothing. I live in a city of over 100k people....there are no less than 6 bridges that go over the river that's not including the highways! Just in my city! Not to mention the boat ramps....Technically the river runs through almost the whole state. I've been binge watching yours and awp's videos. It brought up the question: How many cars are in the river in my town? I tried looking up how many people are missing in my area, and I only got how many are in my state. I truly believe there's someone in that river! I would LOVE to try to search it!

[@kimortiz452]

I’ve been following you for a long time you do a great job on everything you do from searching to diving to pulling the cars out the cops dive team CANNOT even do it better than you

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

So glad you have your own channel now and you are doing the great work that you e been doing all along. What you do is a calling and a blessing from God. I know it can’t be easy when you do find a missing person in a submerged vehicle. God bless you!!
