In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we are truly humbled in the experience of finding 17-year-old Nicholas Allen, in Linwood, North Carolina.
Originally contacted by Judy, (Nick's Mother) and aunt Trudy back in May, we couldn't dedicate time to make the trip from Oregon.
After being contacted by a local firefighter, who knew 6 vehicles had been identified in the river at the York Hill Boat Ramp, he knew that something had been missed by the local agencies, asking us to really consider making the 3000-mile trip to help Judy and her family bring Nick home.
After a short period of just 30-minutes on the water using side-scan sonar, we identified 3 vehicles underwater with one of them appearing to be in the shape of a Dodge Journey, similar in size and shape to Judy's car.
Sam and Jared suited up in their dive gear and within minutes, were able to identify the Dodge Journey, pulling the license plate, confirming what the family had feared.
The windows were up on the car and as such, we could not yet confirm if Nicholas Allen was inside the car.
After a short conversation with the family, the local Sheriffs Department was called, turning the case over to them with services being offered to help in any way our dive team could.
The local agencies pulled our team out of the area, taking over from there to remove Judy's car from the river.
After the car was recovered from the river, it was confirmed that human remains were indeed inside the car but could not yet confirm with the family that it was Nick.
Within the week, the Sheriff's Office has confirmed, it was Nicholas Allen.

So how did Nicholas and his car end up in the river?
Unfortunately, a late-night breakup with his girlfriend was just too much to handle, leading Nick to take mom's car and drive it into the river at the York Hill Boat Ramp.
Hug the ones you love and reach out to those in need.
We are humbled and thankful for this opportunity and experience to bring closure for Judy and her family.

[@ProfessorDisaray]

I've been a Detective for over 25 years. The reason why your team where treated that way, is because you found the car and they didn't. It's actually very embarrassing to be shown up by someone not in authority. The correct way it should have be handled would have been. The senior officer or agent thanking you for the discovery and informing you that it is a crime scene, taken your information and that you will have to leave. Then talk to their dive team what you encountered, any hidden dangers in the river. They should have thanked you for the locate and allowing the family to grieve privately. Since my fellow brothers in blue can't say it, I will.... Great job Adventures with a Purpose.

@@kathrynblair8845 No they don’t, once Law Enforcement deems it a crime scene. You can not enter the restricted area, and maybe arrested for Interfering in a Investigation. It’s rarely used, but if they ask for assistance the Sheriff’s Office or County takes a huge amount of liability and legal ramifications.

I applaud you for commenting this. This just highlights that not all law enforcement are the same. Unfortunately, this sheriff needs to take a course in professionalism.

A typical government. LAZY is my nice word for them. His mother always said thats where she knew he was! Jarrads team found the vehicle in a very very short time. They dove on it and WHAM! The time it took for anyone to even turn up was atrocious. The arrogance of the 1st officer was so far way beyond what he should have been doing or saying. He upset me so much as well. The timeframe in which they were involved in this case was so long. SLACK GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS who like to sit on their fat As and do anything that is easy. Nothing else. They think theyre beyond anything else. It happens in virtually every country sadly. He should have been severely repremanded and stood down to be re trained and how to deal with this type of situation. If that has been part of training in the first place, MAYBE (some people you cant teach - you cant even fix it with Duct tape and Id say hes one if them). Sad to say this but I hope HE has this situation in his family. That MIGHT be the only way he will PULL HIS HEAD IN and learn to treat everyone the respect they deserve, especially in regards to deaths and missing persons. I dont know what chip he had on his shoulder bit he was so very arrogant! Thanks Jarrad and all your Team. You do something that rarely happens. I also watch a few other sites and found youve all joined at some stage with what theyre doing. What a lot of very special individuals, all teaming together yo help mankind.

@ only a silly goose would make assumptions about what a stranger thinks on KZbin and think they know them personally enough to call them a _narrow minded moron_ But hey, if you actually read what I wrote... As I said, police *hardly ever* want to search waterways because of the complications and training involved- also money and time. Facts. You can try to dispute it.. but it's well known within the law enforcement community that searching waterways is the last resort in a missing persons case. Which is why it is normally not until a fisherman stumbles across a body that they actually have the dive team suit up and recover them. As I also said this could be seen as pure laziness by some people, on this departments side, considering they were told and given good reason to check there. And considering it's someone's life involved. Just like the lives of the other cases you're saying they are "stacked" with. So no excuses then. It's the same thing. No life is more important than another in their work. Which is why I said in the end, we need more people like this willing to volunteer their time and knowledge to help families out who would have to wait much longer for the sheriffs department to get to it otherwise.

Even trying to say ‘it’s not worth doing bc some new decorations/rocks had been moved in’ or ‘yah the cars been identified with a license plate but he’s probably not in there’, when we all know this dive team offered him every help & locals will volunteer to remove & replace or do anything to help. These people needed answers for months and months. They could have had it in days.. it’s incomprehensible they had all the RESOURCES and A DIVE TEAM yet they did almost nothing. ~~When Jared said “we’ve done more” the officer didn’t let him finish before he said ‘oh no you haven’t’ and Jared finished saying ‘we’ve already done more sonars & dives this year than this county has’.. he was speaking about credentials.. but the officer gets defensive & doesn’t let him finish a sentence. ~~Divers not greeting other divers is also a great point about ethics. It’s not difficult to say ‘hello & what did you do or see?!!’ ~~ Also the best point made here is for local fishermen to scan as they’re out fishing for a few minutes here & there.. & then call some local divers to get in the water & look. ~~Remember this type of interaction, a persons demeanor & sheer lack of empathy as a public servant when it’s time to go vote. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯💯

The way this sheriff acted is infuriating. Thank you Jared for sticking up for this family and telling them we are not playing this game. Thank you for finding this boy. Rest in Peace sweet soul Nicholas.

[@yemayajk594]

Bless you for all you do. Watching the complete denial by locals who failed to locate this easily found vehicle and Nick is exactly why we need you. 💖 Condolences to Judy and family. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@triciamarieferguson3455]

This is the 1st time I've seen this episode. Being a suicidal survivor myself. I love the emotional little talk that was said. Bless you Jared and all of AWP. Bringing closure to families is so important. No answers = pain.

[@SuperZytoon]

The sheriff is more afraid of being filmed rather than working to bring this young boy out of the water. He showed his true colors when he began the conversation on the offensive. He should be deeply ashamed.

[@peteheyde7999]

The good news is that Sheriffs are the only police force that are elected by the people, and can get thrown out by the people. That is a HUGE difference and a way to remind them that they work for US! I wish more citizens would realize this and get involved instead of just whining!

[@kimF510]

The sheriff is embarrassed because he knows his department is incompetent!

[@BookswithAmanda]

I really hope the residents vote this sheriff out. He's useless.

[@ncsaddlehunter77]

I live in a neighboring County and I can assure you that folks around here do not take kindly to officers and sheriffs acting this way and it is extremely likely that he will not be in office much longer if the residents are made aware of how this was handled.

[@SkateSpeech]

Detective Parks was the one being a jerk. The actual Sheriff shows up later in the video and is the guy with the tattoos on his arm that sent the film/dive crew and family to the bridge to watch. Parks has always been an asshole. He’s useless unless you need some teenagers harassed. He tried to search my house one time and used the plastic from a pack of chicken to try and make it out like I was selling drugs. I told him to smell it and his dumb ass almost threw up when he inhaled all that rancid chicken stank. His partner laughed uncontrollably at him and they went on with their day.

Dont u worry I live in Lexington n.c and that peace of shit will b purged out

[@shaynelowther8893]

Wow, with what is going on right now he should have known better. He truly is a complete arsehole. At least you can find some closure and he can rest in peace.

[@emeraldisle70]

@@blanning2058 a quick google search of the so called Detective Parks revealed he was officer of the year back in 2016. I guess he lost something along the way. 🤷‍♂️

You've influenced me to join my local rescue dive team. Thank you for what you do

[@tiffanymichelle8080]

I was just scrolling and ran across you guys... I've literally been binge watching your videos, and each one I watch I cry. I especially love how human you are. You allow yourselfs to show and feel your emotions. I Don't know any other way to say it 😊. You are a GOD SEND... Ok im about to cry♥️❤️

[@nicolepalmer9795]

That officer acted SO inconvenienced. That was disgusting. How DARE he act that way while trying to find a child.. an actual child. I’m so mad.

Hasn't it already been 8 months tho and u know they gone

[@blakeholte4602]

@@joshuaw4258 well yeah he was totally dead, but it is important to get it out, confirm it and allow that family to come to terms with what has happened.

[@kellylarue9813]

Exactly! I know there are procedures and protocols but his attitude was nasty!

[@Reddaisy61810]

The officer trying to say that the team was just “lucky”. Yeah no, they didn’t drive across country for you to sum it up as “luck”.

[@shelbyj612]

Yah wtf officer cop person

[@kyethebluepotato536]

I hate that guy

[@johnnyboxer6671]

N then for him to say " he's probably not in the car" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Maistro69]

When you find something within an Hour of being on scene and have also located an additional 2 vehicles in other places in the river in that timeframe, that's not luck. That's knowing WTF you are doing.

[@EastMiguel]

Lol officer got kinda denied

[@billyparker3372]

Thank you Jared and your team for what you do. It’s so inspiring to watch you help so many families and get closure for them. The Sheriff should be ashamed of himself acting like a complete heartless person!! The Sheriff’s attitude definitely gives law enforcement a black eye!!

[@donnaw4692]

I think the words you are looking for is" given our experiences, we are encouraged that we have the most likely vehicle"...thank you AWP for all that you do!

[@user-ez8pf8kt1o]

Optimistic is the perfect word.

[@carriee.9712]

I love how the cop goes “YOU GUYS GOT LUCKY BECAUSE THE CURRENT IN THIS RIVER PICKS UP.” Suuure buddy, the current was so strong that it didn’t move the car for 9 months? Such a joke. No wonder the mother of the missing teen is upset. Incompetence is incompetence.

[@christophercoker2395]

I live less than 5 minutes from this launch at the river the current through the area gets really bad especially after a rain event even if it's in other states this area is the first lake on this particular estuary system which is dam controlled hence the rapid current on most days

[@paulalenker6603]

He was talking to guys that dive all the time!!! He has no idea!

[@annamcwhorter9046]

They dove the Missouri with currents so strong it emptied Jared's tank. He had no idea who he was talking to.

[@CovBert]

They could dive it yes but he wasn't lieing about it geting bad and stuff geting stuck to the car can stop it from moveing and who knows if it has moved or not we just know where it was found on this day

[@carriee.9712]

@@CovBert The fact that the mother told them where to try looking and all the police told her was IF SOMEONE SEES SOMETHING THEY’LL CALL US. The police didn’t have a diving team go search the river before and that’s not right PERIOD. The fact that they also got their own diving team on the scene so fast too was beyond me. Where was this months ago when the teen had just gone missing. Pretty sure they just got lazy.

[@jo8260]

That cop saying "I bet he's not in there. He's in Georgia with his girlfriend" tells me that they didn't take this case seriously and never really attempted to locate this vehicle in the river regardless of what they say. The cop stated that he knew that there were numerous vehicles at that location so did they check sonar, see the vehicles and then decide to do nothing about it?

[@stephen5113]

@krvnjrcbs even if they had proper funds, i don’t think that would’ve changed anything. the local pd seemed to have thought this was more of a joke rather than a missing persons case.

[@julianneinducing3476]

@krvnjrcbs In the case of the war between minorities and the police force, I agree with you slightly. No case is black and white and I acknowledge the police is important for civilian peace and safety. However, in this case it's about a human life. They should take it seriously. What if it was foul play? What if the body was another case? Just saying, not every police is bad, but not every police is good as well.

[@joysgirl]

@krvnjrcbs, and yet there are volunteer divers in their area, willing to put in the effort at no charge. Caring is the first step.

[@Rockwell19701]

Somebody should give that Sheriff a lie detector test

[@183charlesspiva]

@krvnjrcbs The man counted them out as the camera paned, did you really not watch this after 'deciding' the sheriff was being rightful in being such a p***k, he was elected to serve the public and the price to remove this car from the river that had plenty of suspicions that the boy was probably in the car is something that doesn't matter the cost!

[@karenmusa3052]

I know this was some time ago but it doesn't stop the emotions that come watching something like this. I sat with tears in my eyes and a awful sadness in my heart. A beautiful young man finally found and bought home to the loving embrace of his family. I don't even want to think how differently this could have been if they hadn't called in these wonderful guys who just want to help. As for the local law enforcement...I won't comment as I'm still pretty emotional but what I can say is shame, shame, shame. On your heads it sits. Godbless u all Kaz.. Perth Western Australia. ❤

[@joanmiller8209]

You all are awesome.. I just started watching today and cant quit watching the episodes... If only law enforcement in all areas had a heart like you all.. Maybe the families would not have to wait so long for answers... I have cried multiple times today.. May God bless all of you....I am in West Virginia and there are so many unsolved missing persons cases that have never been investigated.
