It seems like the most dangerous part is dealing with the lines. They are getting tangled up and if you are ever tangled in them it’s all over. I hope that something is figured out to make dealing with the lines safer. I also hope that you are swimming with some sort of cutting device to save yourself.

This video brought back memories of a similar incident that happened to me and my crew several years ago. I will never forget it. A special need 13 year old boy fell through the ice on a winter camp in Marion county Iowa. He went there to meet new friends because he had trouble socializing. The last day he walked out on the frozen lake to pose for pictures for his new friends. Suddenly he dropped through. Just dissapeared. vanished. The sherrif called me because he was looking for some one that was overhead-environmend and dry suit certified. The shop I usually went to gave him my number. I called some friends that I had dove with frequently before and trusted that were willing to volunteer. We had to wait 3 weeks before it was safe to dive. Set a plan and did a circular search based on where he went under. We found him laying on the bottom with his arms crossed accross his chest. Long story short. When he was brought up we realized he was protecting an 8x10 group photo of him and all his new friends. We turned the body over to the medical examiner and sat together around a camp fire still in our dry suits. No words were spoken and the sherrifs deputy approched us with an envelope for each of us. We were paid $400 each for our efforts. As we sat there one of the guys said, "Are you all thinking what I'm thinking?" We all knodded. We all got up and approched the boys mother and handed her our envelopes. "We hope this helps" She broke down and hugged us all and thanked us. I think about that a lot even now. I'm 62 but I would do it again in a heart beat. Brovo to you and your team for bringing closure. Thank for bringing that memory back.

You aren't aware of how these departments budgets work. Once you spent a couple of decades into budgets and realise that these budgets must be planned years in advance (at least two more) and these budgets must cover everything (salaries, fuel, equipment and other standard cost) imagine planning for you annual household budget and then someone comes to visit and wrecks your car and expects you to pay for all the repairs to your car and the other damages they caused and you say, "I can't, I don't have enough money" and someone says to you, "I just hate your attitude" this is pretty much what your comment is saying.

[@JeffSmith-eq3kc]

@@janemarsee3311 so if someone in a sheriff's area goes missing and say, they believe he drove into a river, the sheriff can then say "sorry, we don't have the money to look for them?" That's not someone coming to visit, that's actually what they're budgeting for. That's their job. Maybe if they've tried to find them and couldn't, you could say that but outright refusing to try? That's not acceptable. Then it's ok for the sheriff to be a jackass when they hire outside help since the sheriff decided they couldn't do it?

Never forgot the unmoving dead weight that it had when I picked him up to put him on the floor to begin CPR. In my experience, it's not the body that affects you, it's knowing that it's someone's loved one. I'm a medical student now, and working with corpses doesn't affect me in the slightest anymore, but seeing people go through the worst kind of pain, losing someone they care about, still does.

@SkyCop Wife We know all that we are not stupid, but an "Intelligent" or compassionate Sheriff would fully embrace any, or all, help from the public, or a private company, to help solve a case (because they work for the public, not the courts or Federal government, A Sheriff is elected by the people, for the people). These cases would have gone nowhere had it not been for the professionalism of that company, and the suffering families that hired them, so a bit of common sense and compassion would be the appropriate response from any Sheriff concerned in one of these cases. It's plain to see, that ego's are involved in many of these cases, and that is borne out by the differing responses of Sheriffs they deal with. If it was purely just because of "the law" or protocols, they would all have a uniform response. So, no, it's not a clueless, moronic response at all.

As the Capt said there is a real and present need for divers and dive teams around this country. Being a 20+ yr firefighter, peace officer and recreational Master Diver. I saw the need locally, many years ago, In an incident not too dissimilar to yours. I took it upon my self to become a Public Safety Diver at my own expense to fill that need. Not only to file cases on the bad guys and keep our waterways clear of debris that could potentially cause more personal injury or property damage. But more importantly to bring closure to the family's of those who lost their lives in a marine environment by recovering their loved one/s. Having that closure, and being able to lay their loved ones to rest. Brings a level of peace to the family that few truly understand until you see it. When you see that peace in their eyes and hear it in their voices.....It was worth every second! You and your team are a model example of professionalism! When I have been in those shoes before, I don't impress easily! Jared you, and your team, have impressed me! Be Safe Brother. As you were gentleman...

[@randyporter3491]

As a career firefighter/medic on the dive team for over 25 years, I have to comment on these guys. First, the Sheriff is correct about the tight restrictions "agency" divers are governed by. Black water diving is dangerous, even in calm water. Add swift current and the danger escalates. Jarad and his crew are more proficient at this type of diving than most agencies. Watching Jarad and this team here, brought different emotions, but most of all was how proud they made me feel watching them. Even though we never met, I felt a closeness to these guys and just wanted to thank them and give them a hug. Strange ? maybe to some. But, we all do the same things, for the same reasons, whether it's 100' underwater, or inside a 1300* structure fire. But these fine men "offer" their help and expertise and make personal sacrifice to do it. That says so much about the character and conviction they have. These are among the most professional, caring men I've seen and it was an honor to watch them work. God bless you all and please stay safe. 🇺🇸

Don’t EVER give up on that dream! Since I was 10 years old I wanted to be a Forensic Pathologist. Unfortunately, an abusive man had me in his clutches from age 15 to 24 and I didn’t get to go to Baylor to continue my education and accomplish my goals. I was lucky enough to get training by the leading pathologist in a large city and participated in several summer programs at the University morgue. Those were the best years of my life. I learned the most amazing science I’ve ever seen. However, that’s as far as I got. I’m 35 now and my biggest regret in life is not fighting harder for my dream. I really wanted to help people and solve murders to bring justice to the victims. Granted, my mother ended up becoming brain damaged and paralyzed and I had to give up everything anyway (I take care of her all by myself), but the fact that I gave up eats me up inside. Don’t let anyone or anything get in the way of your dream. Harness that passion and allow it to keep you focused. You CAN help people and you CAN make a difference in the world.

Rest In Peace kid. Sorry your story was cut short.

Tyler Tapp in reality he’s been born again already. We’re just energy and this is a never ending ride.

True that. Its easy to make sense of. Everything turns into something. Even bird shit.

[@BrandyBB]

Idk how I ran across this video but there are so many uncovered mysteries in the Mississippi River!!! They gave up on these families and people. I really would love to see y'all solve some of these closed cases. Wow... you guys are amazing and I know for a fact that God is proud of the good deed you're doing. It feels so good to do good in this world. I guess this was y'all purpose. Wow. God Bless y'all for doing what y'all do when others have given up and stopped.

Brandy Pearson yeah a lot of Unsolved black mysteries from the 60s

[@LucianCorrvinus]

Do not make a police dept responsible when they get new cases and run down every apparent lead but hit dead ends. These people can run down leads, focus on just one case, and spare then time to look high and low. It is not wrong to say sometimes some Dept's don't do the job. But to pass judgements on how good that job was, only seeing this entry, is really offensive to all those good investigators that feel more upset when they cant find the person or the culprit than toubeber will, you investment wndsnwirh the enfnofbtour opinion. They can be haunted by the inability to find closure for the rest of thier lives even upon retiring and after....oh, and they couldn't do any thing with out the police collecting information they , give em. Try a totally unlooked at mystery, they wouldn't know how apply the pressure to get witness statements to identify all the known players and motives.....so, they find the body, but if there's some responsible party what are these guys on going to do about that....

[@lillian-annwhitingmonkarel2774]

Brandy Pearson would it be possible for these vehicles and such to be brought up periodically to bring closure some sort of closure to the family if not the person at least a vehicle

This sheriff is what other sheriffs should go by, so humble and caring, thank you to AWP for everything that you guys do🥰🥰🥰

[@cedricthomas9338]

This Sheriff is so professional and compassionate. Exactly what all officers should strive to be like. Great job Sheriff!!!

[@IngridGonzalez-hs9ux]

I had just finished watching Nick's story from North Carolina and wow! This county is so much better. They actually care about bringing closure. You guys are awesome. Thank you for sharing the stories.

[@AdventuresWithPurpose]

Thank you Ingrid

It was heartbreaking how rude they where specially towards the family.

@@mpshotattwice3253 I understand, but what I'm asking is for clarification of who was rude to the family. Also, was hoping to get examples of what she's talking about.

[@davidm3maniac201]

@@MAWA-Vik19 Different video Tim. In another video the deputy was being rude to adventures with purpose and the family of Nicky Allen. Ingrid was comparing that deputy with this one. You need to watch the Nicky allen video to see the difference

From watching Nick’s recovery to this one directly afterwards makes me even more sympathetic for the Allen family! Thank you for all you do!

[@KimDunman98]

Absolutely!

[@DragonWolfAngel372]

I watched that one first too

[@ncisfan78]

I just got through watching the one about Nick. I cried like a baby. And wanted to slap the hell out of the jerk from the sheriff’s office.

[@fancyme.alter1311]

I also went from Nick to here. So nice to see officers doing their job with professionalism. I really think the other sheriff knew he messed up and I wish we could have found out about the other cars. Something smells to me.

[@marlainaabel8410]

Gave me chills about how thankful the Sheriff's department was. Even canceled his plans that evening when he didn't have to. I'm so glad the family got closure. I'm so sorry for their loss

[@b.j.dee2702]

Wow, at first I was like- how did they know the truck was there... but to know these guys were the only dive team willing to go down there... smh. These guys need continued funding and recognition for going where others won’t. I’m glad they were able to provide closer for the family and the Sheriff’s department.

[@SnackySquirrel]

This is a good, caring sheriff who’s explaining the predicament he was in, unlike those officers in the Nicholas Allen case who didn’t want to move a rock to retrieve a family’s loved one.

[@sherryhunt3995]

I just watched that. I couldn’t believe it. I’m totally for our police officers but this guy lacked empathy. That kid wasn’t even the age of an adult.

[@philippinespeopleandplaces]

My Super Light 17 dive helmet is off to you guys. I am a retired commercial diver I went through CDC Commercial Diving Corporation in Houston Texas. I was the lead diver for the Nautilus Corporation. I assisted with the recovery of the aircraft that crashed into the Potomac River on January 13, 1982. Air Florida 90 a Boeing 737-222 went down into the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., killing 78 people. Then went on to doing salvage work anywhere the water was deep enough to get my head under the water! Kudos brother divers!

[@shannonvetter7122]

Thank you so much for doing what you do, and have done! Much respect for being you, you sound like a wonderful man!!💕🙏

[@haileygrey5047]

Off topic here but sir you look so much like my father from the hat (he had one similar) to your mustache which he’d twirl the ends of sometimes in his fingers and even your nose. It’s like seeing a ghost. He was murdered 12/02/2003.

[@jessicamurrish735]

Thank you for your service. I too wanted to be a commercial diver and rescue diver. I got scuba certified at 14. I love the deep water and all the unknown. Although life had other plans for me, I still am in awe and wonder at those who do this work from the heart.
