CASE DETAILS
Former mayor of Cornelius Ralph Brown missing since May 16, suffers from dementia and had not had his memory or heart medication since he left his Cornelius, Oregon.
His daughter, Laurie Saunders, said during a news conference that she spoke with her father the night he went missing shortly after 9pm and that he wasn’t sure exactly where he was.
He told her he was “literally in the bushes,” and that he might be near a golf course, but couldn’t give her more specific details. He also asked if people were out looking for him.
She told him to wait for a call from his son, who was going to go out and find him, but Brown didn’t answer the phone after that, and nobody has been able to find him, even though hundreds of people out there helping with the search.
Brown is 76 years old, about 5-foot-10, with white hair and blue eyes. He's also missing the tip of his index finger.
His car is a dark blue, 2014 Nissan Sentra with Oregon plates.
There had been a few sightings reported, but none were substantiated, said Daryle Brown, Ralph Brown’s son.
Daryle said his parents were in their home on May 16 when Brown stood up and said he was going to his “other house.”
Ralph has early-onset Alzheimer’s symptoms, which leads to confusion. He no longer has a driver’s license and has not driven a car in more than a year, Daryle said.
He drove away from the home in the 600 block of South 12th Avenue in Cornelius, Oregon.
There had been no location pings on his phone after 10:25pm that evening, and no communication from Brown in the time since he’s been missing.
This video/documentary shares with you the final search for Ralph and what it took to bring him home.

Jerrid, I know it’s difficult knowing you may have missed something but you never gave up and followed your instincts and found Ralph. You guys are angels on earth. Take care of yourselves and know what you do makes a huge difference in so many lives. 💜

[@tricky1992000]

Don't be so hard on yourself Jared, you are still on a learning curve that may last for as long as you are doing this type of recovery. You can only work with the knowledge you know. You are probably one of the best in the world at what you do.

[@shellos8]

Do you guys ever search for bodies not in a vehicle but known to be underwater?

[@trentgay3437]

Don't beat yourself up the water depth probably made the difference in the sonar "picture" and picking a car out of that pile. You're skill and determination is what found him.

All my condolences to you Laurie and your family your father seemed like a wonderful man.. you can tell how loved he is.. god bless xoxo from Philadelphia

[@furryblue6377]

I just wanted to pop in here and say, there is no shame in the joy that he's been found. I know so many people are so judgemental and berate loved ones and the search teams for being happy, and uplifted when the missing are found, but you should be happy. You should feel blessed. You have them back and it lifts such an immense burden from your soul. Ralph can rest peacefully now xx

[@melissaford4824]

He was a wonderful man and very loved by many! I never knew him since I live in another state but this group has honored him! Many people who never met him know his name. It makes me wish I knew him. I’m so sorry for your loss.

@@DougBishop did you ever find out if that little stuffed bunny was any significance ? This is a very teary-eyed moment. So thankful for Jared's intuition that took you guys back to that spot. You always put your life in danger for every second you are in that water. Thank you both for your bravery and perseverance. You are a hero to many. May Mr.Brown rest in peace.

There are probably less than a dozen people in the world who can do what you guys do, this was no mistake it was a miracle that he was ever found. You should have no regrets. You guys are heroes!

[@kelsiefletcher]

​@@soundman6241 yes ! you are so correct.

[@moonshayde]

If the car was covered by logs & debris Jared wouldn't have found it the last few times he scanned the area but he trusted his instincts. No doubt the logs & debris moved enough to enable Jared to find it this time & bring Ralph home. The bunny was a sign just like the balloons. R.I.P Ralph

[@lisa4freedom662]

My sincere condolences Laurie, Mom, Brother and the rest of the Family. I am glad that AWP was able to bring your Dad home and closure for the Family. ❣🙏

[@pfeilsusan]

So true! Why is Doug doing most of the diving?

[@Bluey_adorable]

Jared, I am a detective and have been in law enforcement since 1995. A back ground investigator once asked my husband what my best trait was he said, "tenacious" the investigator then asked what my worst trait was he said, "tenacious" You fall in that same title as me. This episodes reaction is proof positive you are the best at your work. Never ever ignore your intuition. Your dedication, determination, and tenaciousness is why you never gave up on Ralph. Keep up the good fight! Excellent work.

[@annav1767]

Jared, don't beat yourself up. You were meant to find Ralph when you did. No sooner, no later. You and the team are doing great on bringing families closure.

[@pieyedapple]

Totally concur...in the bigger picture, Jared provided closure...that's what counts. A hundred years from now, that's what will stand in the records...

[@daleskelton8963]

I agree with you Anna. Things happen for a reason that we can’t explain. It was meant to be for him to be found when he was.

[@thespectralsociety4888]

I commented the same thing. Ralph knew it wasn’t time to find him yet!

[@emmyBsims]

Such a true comment. We may never know why things happen they way they do but it always works out in the end

[@annav1767]

I can also understand the frustration and disappointment in the moment knowing that the area was searched before. In the end, the family got an answer on where he was and are able to have some peace in his return to them. I hope they are all doing well given the circumstances.

[@mattburns7229]

The fact that you felt the way you did when found the car after retracing your steps is what makes you the perfect person for the job you do.

[@belindapaul9828]

Absolutely. I wish everybody with a missing loved one could have somebody so humble and sincere trying to bring them home.

[@pjef1956]

It shows your integrity, lack of egotism, humility, and the perfect character to do this work. Open minds continue to learn, closed minds that blame circumstances do not. God Bless all of you.

[@imaprincessdammit]

Jared, seeing you beat yourself up over clearing that area before makes my heart hurt. You guys are doing work that other people can't do and you do your best, every time. If his car was covered, in debris, it was hidden then...and your heart drew you back there again, so that's pretty amazing. You did this for that family. Good job.

[@izayahkxchannel4419]

Totally agree broke my heart to hear his pain and anguish in that moment but these men are wonderful and so compassionate true heros and should never doubt what they do or their ability. They're learning as they go as he said and for that alone they should feel confident and proud to be bringing so many cold cases back to their loved ones xoxo

[@nickinunudalby7031]

I agree, don’t beat yourself up! Your instincts brought you back to that place.

[@mussobrosfan1]

Jared, you are too hard on yourself! You said it yourself, you said there had been floods. The debris has changed.

[@casperstour]

Im a 30 year old man in tears because of this episode.... Jared, NEVER beat yourself up, debris moves, indications become more clear over time and you did everything you could in your power and whether it took a day or a decade you found that familys loved one! Keep up the good work! Much love to all of AWS team. You guys are amazing at what you do.

[@Alyssa684]

The way Doug started consoling Jared immediately was so touching. You guys are an amazing team due to your skills, empathy, and understanding of each other.

[@alicesheeler1215]

Doug,all that you've done as an adult,came into play today to get Ralph rescued and onto land. What a statement from God that each year of your adult life s experience was used today.You are special and have confirmation from heaven.

[@TSBOFRLM]

Touching…it’s beautiful to see. They brought him home as a team. They did it.❤️

[@kitarrah1422]

I could tell how torn up Jared was about having missed this vehicle on his other searches there. It's not your fault, Jared. There were a lot of circumstances that prevented you from seeing it on the sonar. My guess is that it was camouflaged by the trees and debris at the time. You trusted your instincts and didn't give up. You have learned and gotten more experience. Try not to beat yourself up. I know that's easier said than done, but remember, no one else found him either. You kept asking yourself "What if I missed something?" and kept going back to make sure; and in the end, you found him and brought him home. The fact that you were so upset shows how much you care. Thank you and Doug, and the rest of the AWP team for doing this. You are appreciated!

[@charliespragg662]

I can understand how much you want to bring everyone home and you do in the end I love what you do xxx keep up the amazing work love you

[@tmurphy0919]

Jared, don't do that to yourself. You're an amazingly selfless person doing a difficult job. We all see the dedication, skill, and perseverance of you and your team. As Doug pointed out, there's a lot of current and a lot of debris. It's entirely possible that Ralph's car has been buried and unburied several times in the last year. Missing Ralph isn't your fault.

[@rebeccatatum4574]

I totally agree Jared said that it was a pile of trees last time and easily missed.

[@swearenginlawanda]

Agree 1000%

[@NinjasAK]

Came to say just this. If Jared had never come back for this 4th (?) time, that would've been letting the family down. BUT HE DIDNT. HE CAME BACK. He chased that gut feeling, he came back even though he thought he'd cleared the area. That's not failing; that's dedication, and a willingness to keep an open mind and consider that he may have missed something. 100%, He has never failed these families.

[@joannepantale483]

@tommurphy THIS

[@azul-t6m]

You didn’t let anyone down, in fact you didn’t give up when you could have. That’s what makes you great, the fact that you keep going when no one else does. On behalf of everyone thank you for what you do. It is amazing and I wish there were more people like you guys around the world helping find the missing.

Your style of documenting your rescues, and not stretching it out without revealing what happens, makes you truly inspiring. I stay tuned because of your professionalism and compassion. It just shows that the old style of not revealing the outcome until the end is so passé. Your work is admirable and makes me want to help.

[@melaniemoody1343]

Hearing the weight being lifted off of the daughter when she found out her dad was found was heart warming because she no longer has to worry about not having her dad home to have a proper burial. I'm sure they have grieved and already came to the conclusion that he was gone. They just wanted to give him the burial that he deserved. You guys are awesome. Thank God for you all 💗

[@YouTubeExplore777]

Agree, nomatter how many times they've scanned the area and searched it can be an easy miss each time, details that are camouflaged into the aquatic floor is easy to miss; the fact they find missing people including this one shows they care and really work very hard to find missing people their heart cares so much that they develop an emotional connection for the missing and the family with the missing loved ones. I'm glad he's found and the many others they've found too.

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

Jared, a professional grows with every intervention they perform. This is every professional in any field. I am a retired RN with 40 years critical care experience. I have done sleep studies as well as noninvasive vascular studies. There is a learning curve with everything you do. I have walked into a patient's room in the ICU and instinctively knew something was wrong. So you check and double check. You think on it and go back and check again. It could be that an EKG lead is a little loose. It could be anything. You said yourself the water is deeper than it was. There is a lot of debris. Atmospheric changes could have moved the debris and now the car is visible. Your gut led you back. You have not let the family down. Don't kick yourself around the block. But the fact that you question yourself is the sign of a consummate professional. When you question yourself you grow as a person. Stay safe.

[@hawksnest7527]

Jared really understands the mechanics of cars in the water, drifting and sinking. It’s a gift.❤ good job guys. Your work is amazing 😊

[@JohnyComeLately]

Jared, you've said in defense of other agencies that things can read different at different times. And that your skills developed over time. Extend that graciousness to yourself. And that you've kept searching you've not let them down. If you would've said 'it's clear and we're done', that would've let them down. It's ok to feel sad that you missed him before, but forgive yourself any ill will you've got. As you say, you're learning more and more every season. Ultimately you brought closure to another family, thank you for being tenacious in your drive to help.

We need much more groups of people like you guys, especially in a world that we live in today, where any decency is hard to come by. I know I'm commenting on an older video, but I've binged watch your entire content for a few days now and I'm not even half way done. I've been living in a state of mind where it's hard for me to believe if there's any really good people left in this world , or are they just fakes, doing it just for content, and what not. But not you guys, I can feel the emotion every time you guys found your target and it feels real. I'm glad you guys shares your journey here on this platform. I believe you guys are honest people, and I believe that you guys are blessed to have the ability to do the things that normally people would charge for.

I have watched this episode like 5 times, @23:59 when Carson asks if Jared found Ralph, the look of determination on Jared's face and the emotion welling up in him get's me every time. I cry along with many others for the emotional moment you go through Jared. You held it together knowing you were on camera but I can tell you this, if it were me, I would have/and have been balling my eyes out. Such a testament to you and Doug and the crew for not giving up. And the bunny is clearly a sign from God in my humble opinion. Doug you brink up the Carrie may Parker point of the balloons, and you are right, there is 'extra energy' or higher power at work with you guys, don't dismiss those signs. I don't know if anyone else notices this but EVERY time Doug goes under water he crosses his chest in prayer. I do it with you Brother, every time. I have seen the news about your loss recently Doug and I am so sorry.

Jared and Doug are true empathy. The care and concern that they handle every case shows the commitment to the purpose. I am impressed with the way the vehicle was rigged to recover it as intact as possible. The towing company was very good and worked well as a team with Jared and Doug. The sheriffs office deserves a shoutout for allowing the team to use their expertise and not demand to recover the vehicle themselves. I’m sorry for the families loss.

You work hard and give up time with your families. As well as you obviously can't do this as well as hold down a 9-5 job. And from what I can see loads of money is going into updated technology & obviously upkeep of equipment etc etc.

[@tammyblankenship8742]

Not to mention, it's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. Jared has yet to be convicted. People are so quick to write the man off before he's even had a chance to go to trial. An arrest does not equal quilt. Wait until there's a verdict in the case before passing judgment.

I really think what hindered y'all in the earlier searches was the sheer amount of debris over and around the area.

You guys are still doing things that no one else has done. Keep up the great work.

Jared, my heart was breaking for you in your self frustration over not finding him the first few searches. For believing and telling the family Rogers Landing was cleared. Many people searched and missed him, many people moved on to somewhere else. What makes you so OUTSTANDING is your instinct and determination to continue the pursuit. I firmly believe you did something that nobody else could have done and you got the results nobody else would have. For that, Sirs, you have my utmost respect and quite likely the same will be said by others as well.

Can anyone see this? You never gave up looking for Ralph Brown and gave it everything you had and more. From the comment section, Ralph’s disappearance was always on everyone’s mind from the very first video. out. I continue to be impressed by how steadfast and loving this group is. Thank you!

Jared, no one is infallible. Everyone has made and will make mistakes. No one, no matter how good they are or how hard they try will ever be perfect. That you are willing to try says everything about where your heart is and how much these families mean to you. The main thing you should take from this is what you learn that will help you help even more families. Thanks for what you are doing.

This is such an incredible and emotional episode. Sending my love and condolences to Ralph Brown's family. Mr Brown looked like such a wonderful and loving man. I am so thankful to Jared, Doug and all the members of AWP for all they do to help families bring their loved ones home. The fact dthey found the car under all the trees is amazing.

You guys are amazing!

This is an extremely emotional video. Watching the the conversations about their doubt and how stressed they felt about missing him in previous searches was upsetting to watch. You have not let us down.

[@MissLilyputt]

Jared, you found him when you were meant to find him. You’ve learned and continue to learn so much and so quickly. The important thing is that you didn’t give up and you listened to that voice inside you that kept pulling you back. Give yourself the same grace, love and understanding that you would give your crew, your friends or your family. You deserve that much for yourself. Beating yourself up isn’t going to make anything better or easier. Now you can take the knowledge you’ve gained to help other families and going ahead you’ll learn to trust that instinct or inner voice when you feel it. You and Doug are really an amazing team. You talk things out when you disagree about what you see or don’t see but you understand that the other isn’t saying it to be hurtful but to help a family. It’s a kind of understanding we all should try to have for others.

[@lisad.9847]

I am in tears! This was a very moving video (as they all are), and you guys are Angels on Earth to do what you do time and time again! Jared, you should never feel bad about not finding anyone right away. If you gentlemen didn’t do this, these people would NEVER be found. ❤️🙏😇

Spiritually speaking, sometimes the deceased let you know when they are ready to be found. Remember Carey Mae Parker had the birthday balloons 🎈, and now Doug mentioned as if the sunlight was shinning on Ralph’s car, so please don’t be so hard on yourself.

[@dianemackey]

Ralph was found because YOU didn't give up, Jared! He never would have been found otherwise. You have always been honest with the families, and did the best you could on every search, it's just that wonderful intuition that beats away at you, that gives you reason to try again. I recall Maria Shriver telling a story of her mom, who would ask each child what they did that day to help others. As each replied of their accomplishments, Eunice would ask them, "Did you do enough? Could you have done more?" and I happen to think you are a shining example of someone who always does more. This video certainly proves it. Doug is such a motivational and inspirational person and he truly understands that your expertise grows over time and revisiting cases and areas with new info is what can make you successful. I'm in total awe of what you all do, and how you inspire others to help pro bono. That is amazing in itself.

[@eledatowle8767]

I second that! Beautifully said, and I completely agree with it all!

[@johngomes16]

My heart was broken seeing you upset like this Jared. Don't beat yourself up. Things happen and can be overlooked. What matters is that you listen to your gut instinct and found Ralph and brought him home. Your on the road alot and of course your bound to get tired and off key. I know, I'm a paranormal investigator and how many cases I invested, evidence to review and more gets to you. But you never gave up and kept following your instincts. Thank you so much to you and the AWP Team for what you do, go through and bringing the loved ones home so these families can have answers & closure. My prayers & condolences to the Brown family

[@BrookeNC]

Jared, you are an amazing person and you have found people that have been missing for years that NO ONE else found. No one is perfect and what makes you so amazing is your humility, your integrity, your selflessness and your heart. Please never stop what you are doing, never doubt yourself, and do not beat yourself up. If I ever have anyone go missing you will be who I call for help!!!!

[@kylepannell8866]

Jared, your end goal was to locate Mr. Brown and return him to his family so they could receive closure. You did exactly that! Whether you did it that day, a month earlier or a year earlier doesn’t matter. In the end, your determination to help Mr Brown’s family brought you back to that location. And maybe it’s just me, but I don’t recall seeing hundreds of other search and rescue personnel lined up on the banks of that river, waiting their turn to search for Mr. Brown. I just saw you! That alone says it all. Great work as usual, and may God continue to keep you safe.

[@robhay57]

I think it's invaluable that Doug used to run a tow truck. His approach to extracting vehicles has made the difference in a successful outcome once the vehicle has been located. THank you Jared, Doug and all involved in AWP for never giving up. To Ralph's family, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad he's been found. ❤ I feel the 🐰 bunny was a sign. Edited to say that all of the cases you've done since he went missing a year ago enabled you to find him this time. Each case is an opportunity to learn something for the next case.

Absolutely no one faults you for not finding him sooner. As you have said, with every difficult recovery you learn valuable lessons and acquire more experience that helps you do your best work. Everything happens when it’s supposed to happen, and this was the day you were meant to find Mr. Brown. This lesson is going to help you find someone else in the future.

It makes me feel a little bit better about how many times an area has been searched by other dive teams, then you come along and find it within an hour or two. When even experts like you can miss it the first try, it is easy to see how those other dive teams can miss something. But you didn't give up. Something brought you back. Forty feet down, covered with trees, how easy it would be to miss it. But you found it, and you brought him home for the family. Good work. Thanks for being as wonderful as you are.

Conflicted feeling? Why, if I may ask?

[@ghostlyexe]

@@eirschu8973 I think they feel guilty cause they had already searched that area before and completely missed the car, several times. But they shouldn’t feel bad because they were determined to find him and bring his family peace and went back to the area again, to check again. Like he was saying, he’s worried if he missed this car checking three different times, how many other missing people did he miss in the past? What they did was extremely difficult and even law enforcement was unable to find the car. They did something incredible and solved his case for free, because they cared about the family members and finding the missing person, not for profit. I understand why he feels guilty, but they’re doing their best and they cannot beat themselves up for not being perfect, because no one is gonna be perfect. They’re good people who are doing something so kind and selfless, they cannot forget that just because they may have made a mistake. They never gave up, and they brought peace to his family.

[@CalTek]

24:06 just shows how much empathy Jared has....as much as we want to say "don't be hard on yourself....you found him"....the fact he feels guilt over "missing" him shows how much he truly cares. Love it. What I love even more is that 26:00 the team takes the time to continue to learn, grow and educate (and follow their gut) themselves. Sure they may have missed this the first time but IMO the fact they are out there doing this while others are not.......well that trumps any "misses" the first time. Keep doing what you do which is bring grieving families closure.
