In this captivating series, we delve into the emotional turmoil experienced by Jacob's family, especially his anguished mother Joanna, desperately seeking answers to the haunting question: Where is Jacob? Jacob VanZant, a vibrant young man with his whole life ahead of him, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a void in the lives of his loved ones.
Armed with unwavering determination, AWP embarks on a perilous mission to uncover the truth behind Jacob's disappearance. We follow their tireless efforts as they meticulously comb through the riverbeds and waterways, employing state-of-the-art sonar technology and underwater exploration to locate any sign of Jacob or his vehicle.
Jacob was last seen driving a 2004 White Honda Pilot, bearing the license plate number 5JBC311. Our search focuses on scouring the depths for any trace of this distinctive vehicle, as it holds the key to unlocking the mystery surrounding Jacob's fate. As the team diligently investigates the river channels and submerged structures, they encounter a myriad of submerged vehicles, each presenting a glimmer of hope and anticipation, only to be ruled out as unrelated to Jacob's case.
With every twist and turn, the search intensifies, into the enigma of Jacob's disappearance. Gripped by a mother's heartache, we witness the indomitable spirit of Jacob's family and their unwavering commitment to him. Their resilience serves as a beacon of hope for countless others who have experienced the anguish of a missing loved one.
As the video unfolds, we witness the search team's painstaking efforts, their determination unyielding despite setbacks and false leads. The gripping footage captures their encounters with submerged vehicles, the tension mounting with each potential discovery.

[@katperez1726]

Jacob was my coworker, the day before he was missing was the last time I saw him. He was leaving his shifting and I was starting mine he was in a great mood smiling and laughing. This how I will remember him, Praying for his family.

[@judi_just_judi]

Thank you for sharing.

[@roadtriptovegas]

My heart aches for you and his family.

[@tammymorrow6301]

Jacob has always had and has a beautiful soul he is greatly missed.

[@sarahstorr]

❤

[@unsheepled]

He looked like a sweet kid/young man

[@tammymorrow6301]

Thank you so very much Joanna is a good friend of mine Ive known Jacob since his birth. My 17 yr old son went missing in our neighborhood 15 years ago and was found floating in the canal blocks from home Joanna went through this with me He was found a week after so after a week had passed of Jacob being gone She called me and said what do I do now I said keep him in the public eye maybe get a hold of the diving team I'm so grateful that she no longer has to wonder neither do I I know that our sons have found each other on the other side Joanna was like an aunt to my son as I was to Jacob Thank you for giving us the answers You're amazing.

[@PegAMurphy]

hugs to both of you I'm so sorry my deepest heartfelt condolences go to you as well 💔

[@tammymorrow6301]

Thank you at least we know what happened now to Jacob. My son's case was declared accident although it began suspicious he was in canal and knew how to swim. Still Unsolved. Joanna has been with me the whole 15 years my son has been gone so I'm grateful that she at least knows what happened with Jacob but my heart breaks for my friend. She has stood in front of Courthouse with Posters of my son with me her and her children including Jacob have attended many candlelight vigils at the canal where my son was found. Now I will stand by her in whatever she needs.

[@tammymorrow6301]

Kenneth Wade Felchle jr case unsolved.

[@tammymorrow6301]

Thank you Jared and AWP I wish you were around 15 yrs ago. My son Joseph walked that canal and did not find his brother thank God but 3 days later his brother found by a passerby . I tried to get a search and rescue team but Stockton has no dive teams. So when my son was being removed from the water the men were making jokes about how long it will take the rookie to get my son out of the water. I never got to identify my son or see him before we buried him I don't know if that's good or not but think I should have had the choice. So at his funeral all I could think is I want to open that casket but 1 of the guys ( in my son's police report of over 100 pages declared accidental drowning)a supposed best friend sat in front of his casket on floor whaling and crying. So then my focus turned to that supposed friend whom seen him that night and lied on police report as did many others. If you were around even though it was only a week missing you would have been more compasionate regarding remarks being made. Thank you for always considering the families feelings.

[@lancewebb5990]

Sorry for both of your losses. And they both may of found each other in Heaven with Jesus Christ. Again Prayers to you and all.

[@Beth11271]

That image, I gasped. He fought to the bitter end. Bless his family and you all for helping to bring him home

[@MrKeychange]

I feel for the guy who had to dive on that. He volunteered to live with that image in his head, just to bring a family closure. Respect. ✊

[@judi_just_judi]

❤

[@tammymorrow6301]

I feel for Jacob being down there for almost 2 months I think when authorities knew of cell phone ping action should have been taken here in Stockton we have no Dive team??? After seeing all those cars underwater hopefully Stockton will put together a Team. A lot of unsolved cases could be solved and my friend would not of had to wait and search herself for 2 months. Also there's no reason a barrier should not be there authorities have to know those cars are down there and that road is most likely why. Just unbelievable. Action needs to be taken and I will help his mom to make sure of it. Thank you

[@ATLTraveler]

Underwater for 2 months there wouldn't be much left honestly.

[@kathyjones4869]

Good job Jared! Thanks for your hard work and images that you have to endure for the families! This should send out red flags again that drinking and driving do not mix!! God bless everyone!

[@DrRawBalls_TheDummy]

@@ATLTravelerI mean you not see the image on screen it gave a body image of torso and arms and head.. uggg it’s so sad and happy the family has closure but the not the one they wanted and now can lay him to rest 😞 that county/town needs to do something with this road

[@AvaSimone999]

I really respect that you showed the scans to Jessica and explained it to her. Most people wouldn’t take that kind of time.

[@judi_just_judi]

Ava, many will agree with you. Just another reminder, Jared is as interested in solving these cases as the family.

[@tararobinson6769]

I was going to say the same thing. She voiced that she was wanting to do the same thing he is. So he took the time to explain how it works and answer her questions. I love this

[@kirstenf.e4071]

The very last image of the next episode gave me chills. That is so absolutely heartbreaking.

[@ozarkzoe]

It did me too. I busted into tears. To know he was desperately trying to get out to Safety. Prayers for his Loved one and the Crew of AWP💙

[@lizzieturbeville4089]

I know, me too! Every case is heartbreaking but this is just so much more if that's possible. 💔💔

[@gaylemartin6995]

It's always so Heartbreak when they find someone love one's in the water in their vehicle that have passed away my heart goes out to the family and friends

[@fluteloops22]

Instantly burst into tears. Wow…..

[@lisamelton4221]

I literally gasp! Crazy! Glad his family has him home 💔

[@angelaorndorff8134]

Thank you for everything you do. As a firefighter/medic I appreciate everything you all do to help families when we can’t. It’s people like you that we always like to work with and support!

[@DramaMustRemainOnTheStage]

Thank you for your service too

[@oldermusiclover]

thank you and God bless had an older brother who was a retired fire fighter ps does your station have fire shirts for sale thanks again

[@OnceUponReddit]

How do you know a firefighter is near you? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

[@joannenash5377]

The image of him trying to escape the car gave me chills. How awful for him and his family.

[@zweety4287]

Wow, seeing him trying to escape on sonar was mind blowingly horrifying. Though deeply upsetting I'm sure he would be at peace knowing Jessica and any of his family or friends who tried scanning themselves didn't find him like that. You guys are heroes for what you do.

[@tammymorrow6301]

Yes Jess didn't find him because he didn't want his sister to live with that the rest of her life. I used to babysit Jess when she was little she always been a determined girl and loves her brother so much she never gave up and I'm sure Jakey is so proud of her. Let the Healing begin thank you Jared and all divers that do this.

[@wiktoriagwozdowska5484]

Sonar image absolutely broke my heart 🤧 Especially that he was so close to freeing himself ,if I could turn back time to save him I would do it even if that would cost me something I would do it even that I never knew this guy It breaks my heart because I'm only 2 yrs older than him and I can't imagine dying that young in that way. May he rest in peace in heaven 🙏 💙🩵🩷

[@marciphillips790]

They really are

[@deborahhartley2586]

God bless you guys for what you do and God bless his family. So they can begin to heal. ❤

[@meighanlynne]

My heart breaks at the last image shown of Jacob! My heart goes out to his family and friends. I will never understand why there is not some type of barrier where he went into the water that can stop cars. Jared, thank you so much for coming back full-time. Family members always hug you so tight, which shows your empathy and compassion that you give these grieving families. Take care of yourself and your crew after this sad recovery.

[@tammymorrow6301]

I will help Jacob's mom to make sure a barrier is placed there also some type of Amber Alert for people that are not children or Seniors. And a dive team for Stockton California ( maybe trained by Jared) because when his phone pinged if Stockton had a dive team they could have searched early on and we would not have had to wait almost 2 months and Jared found him in under 2 days. Sad Sad situation that could've been handled more efficiently.

[@judi_just_judi]

​@@tammymorrow6301 ❤🤍🖤

[@allthingsharbor]

@@tammymorrow6301 I pray you are successful.

[@colleenkerr4237]

Exactly my thoughts. Didn't he say 7 people already lost their lives there!?! Why add more when something can be done about it!?!?! That's what would piss me off. Barriers should have gone up after the very first car to have entered that water. All the deaths could have been prevented

[@matthewmosier8439]

​@@colleenkerr4237 Now it's possible that it wouldn't have helped Jacob. He was traveling very fast, it sounds like (my guess is he was buzzed from the alchohol and mistook the gas for the brake) The barrier needs to be something that will slow cars down without creating a fatal object for them to collide with.

[@suannlawson6142]

The family went through hell for sure and knowing that Jacob tried to save himself was unreal. You do so much for families that are missing a loved one. Thank God for people like you. Prayers for the family of Jacob VanZant.

[@NatYourAverageNerd]

Seeing Jacob appearing on sonar like that reduced me to sobbing almost immediately. That’s a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies!

[@Skerz4TheWin]

The way he was found... almost feels wrong to see it. Horrible. No one deserves to be left like that. Thank you for finding him.

[@fifnalfantasy13]

Every police force needs to take notes from these officers, amazing job by both the crew and these officers

[@monicahester1172]

Yea I don’t understand they find these people and normally close to where they live but, the police send their rescue boats and people and they can’t find them ?

[@cannedheat2264]

My friend from high school. They just found him a month ago after missing for 4 months. Apparently he fell off a tower he used to climb on the outskirts of town. It was winter time. We all thought he took off south because he wasn’t on his medication that kept him stable. It’s brutal. But people like you find the lost and bring them home.

[@judi_just_judi]

Thank you for sharing your friend's story. I am very sorry for your loss.

[@moimeme1928]

We're astonished how many vehicles are in waters around the country.

[@Crystaladdams1031]

Holy cow.. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but this one left me in tears the way he showed up on sonar. Thank you guys for all you do, truly. You have given another family closure, and maybe even helped other families by checking on those other vehicles. ❤

This is one of the most powerful 2 episodes. It's not your hormones sweetheart, it's your heart❤

[@evawinebrinner8817]

Not just pregnancy hormones. Me, a 53 year old male, teared up in an instant. How excruciatingly sad… 😢

[@mbwalsh2106]

Many get me welled up and I'm not pregnant. Water signs cry often. I blame being piscean.

[@tessabakker662]

There's simply no other reason needed to cry than the mere fact that he was so very close. Harrowing and absolutely heartbreaking.

We are never so lost that our angels can't find us. Jared you have a special calling. Thank you for all the souls lost that you are continuing to be guided to. ❤

I am glad you didnt give up on your calling Jared. I respect you for that. You absolutely are the best at your job. Families need your heart & your expertise. Still a fan. 💪✌️❤️

[@nikkifulani]

This is so heartbreaking😢. Is there someone who lives in this town that can start the process of advocating for this area to have guard rails of some sort? You’ll definitely have a team of supporters backing you. This is just awful to know this could have easily been prevented. It’s such a short distance from the end of the road into the water. It’s such a major “blind spot” area. There are so many cars below😢”sigh”.

[@brahtrumpwonbigly7309]

I hope none of these people ever think that we're just sitting here getting entertainment out of their loss and trouble. I never lost someone in a situation like this, but after my dad died it really resonates with me when another family loses someone and I guess I hope it shows some respect to learn and care about their loved ones and how they passed, as well as the struggle they go through to find that out. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense necessarily, but I just feel for them and wish I could express my condolences in some small way.

[@tammymorrow6301]

Sorry for your loss of your Dad. Thank you for your compassion. Bless you

[@Ashley_Mo]

Well said. That’s why I don’t condemn this channel, because they treat every case and victim with dignity and respect. A channel like this could very easily just milk it for views and content but you can tell they actually care and want to honor the victims and give them and their family the respect and right level of privacy they deserve. It very easily could become too invasive as well which certainly would garner more attention but again, would be done for all the wrong reasons and cause more unnecessary trauma for the family. No death like this should be made a spectacle and I truly believe they have found the right balance of sharing the story, the discovery and the end result with minimal damage and upmost respect and curiosity. And condolences to you and your family. May you find peace. Know you have an angel watching over you now. 🕊️ 💐 Sending love from Florida!

[@judi_just_judi]

​@@Ashley_MoAs an AWP fan and Jared supporter, I share & appreciate your point of view and positive input. Thank you.

[@ashlyns6580]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I found adventures with a purpose like two weeks after my dad passed from suicide and watching their videos helped so much to know that I wasn’t alone in my feelings. Everyone in my small town thinks what my dad did shouldn’t be spoke of so their videos help.

Great job guys. Although I'm trying not to cry at that last clip. How terrifying and sad. Having seen what you saw on sonar, then diving it. I know it's what you do but I shouldn't think it gets any easier. What makes it worse is that he was trying to escape. 😭 Thank you for bringing him home. I'm not sure I'll be able to get the last sonar image out of my head though. 💔 X

Yes me too my friend would have been searching forever we have No dive team in Stockton which is crazy because we are surrounded by waterways.

[@cutierabbit2063]

Maybe he’s accused of something he actually didn’t do because he’s doing things authorities can’t. Giving closures to the families who lost their loved ones are indescribable. Maybe, some of the cases AWP solved were actually crimes made by those we trusted to protect us. Jared, my love and respect for you and the whole team ❤❤❤

[@Blipppppppppoo]

Love how he educates and always shows genuine compassion

[@judi_just_judi]

Teaching is one of Jared greatest gifts. It is evident if you watch any of his older videos. He shared specs about the equipment he used, tips and tricks, always inviting other's to join him, and he'd answer any questions.

I am so grateful you found him. I am in tears after seeing he did everything he could to get home to his family. He fought to the end. I pray this closure can bring peace to his family.

That last sonar image broke mt heart. I can't imagine what was going through his mind before he passed away. My absolute prayers go out to his family and friends.

I was playing sims while listening to this and just happened to glance over when he was on sonar. Seeing that on sonar is one thing, but diving it is entirely different, I hope your mental health is doing okay, Jared. It's good you found him, but it doesn't make it any less sad and devastating. Jacob wasn't much older than me. 😢

[@johnschneider3082]

[@tammymorrow6301]

Yes that is Jessicas beautiful ❤️

[@stevie-ray2020]

Can understand that for the relatives' sake you don't really want to find their loved ones underwater, but if they really are there you do want to! Keep up up the great work you all are doing! Just curious to know whether you've considered fitting hoods above your sonar-screens? Movie-production companies use them on their video-monitors for shooting both outdoors (as well as indoors) to reduce the amount of light shining on the screens. Another tip is to carry a micro-fiber cloth along with a small spray-bottle containing a very weak solution of dishwashing-liquid to occasionally clean your sonar-screens!

This has got to be a one in a million chance of being stuck out of the vehicle and trapped. This is insane, never seen something like this. This had to be a very sensitive recovery, wow. I’m speechless

[@servdv]

I was trying to peace that together if I had to guess being that deep I dont know if he actually got stuck but ran out of oxygen before he could get loose plus being intoxicated. I think the moment he was able to get out he drowned.

[@judi_just_judi]

​@@servdv My opinion based on info in comments by AWP and the description of what he was last known to be wearing, I believe it was the laces of his work boots got tangled in the rear seat headrests; preventing him from getting his legs out.

What these guys do isn't just incredible man. Giving families the closure that they possibly would've never gotten without them, it's a beautiful thing.

[@littlezentz]

I have chills all over and I have not even watched anything more than the intro.

[@Fuggybugs]

Wow I couldn’t do what you do, the dive part and what you have to see. It’s great we can watch these videos to help support your good work .

[@100SteveB]

Just so sad, sdo close to making it out. I cannot even even begin to understand how the family must feel knowing it was so close to having a different outcome. Heartbreaking. Well done Jared and team, the work you do is amazing.

[@ninjamaryes3983]

That last image, I gasped and I’m in tears. Praying for his family. Thank you, AWP.

[@RicardoCooper]

Thank you Jared, you have touched so many people!

[@cherylmack1260]

Just wow! I don't think I could deal with this as the mother with him barely escaping.

[@Tigeress1962]

Omg how sad this broke my heart seeing the image of him that he was trying to get out. My thoughts go to his family. My deepest condolences.

[@leudast1215]

You all are doing a great job showing up the local police departments. Keep it up.

[@sergeel-mir1795]

omg heart crunching... he was trying to escape!!! how was he stuck???? what can people do in such scenarios, I hope you can raise awareness on this Jared!!!! we live next to a huge lake (not in the US), so very interested to know what are the options!!!! thanks for all the amazing work that you and the AWP team does ❤❤

[@lancewebb5990]

Seat belt cutter tool and he sells a little button thing that shatters windows very easy inportant tools to have. I would hang them from the rear view window. Extremely sad story. Lord willing he is with are Lord and Savior now Jesus Christ. Prayers to the family very sad we never no when are time is up. God Bless!

[@sergeel-mir1795]

@lance webb thank you Lance and god bless you... will look into this device!

[@Sariluhoo]

Hey may of been able to get out the window, but foot caught or belt caught, and he just blacked out before being able to get out the rest of the way, we have no idea sadly how long he even struggled to get out that far. Rip to him and peace be with his family.

[@lancewebb5990]

@@sergeel-mir1795 welcome and God Bless you as well Brother!

[@terrilynn1110]

Just like recalling drop, drop, and roll. Everyone needs learn how to operate the tool for cutting the seat belt and busting windows. Not all of those tools are equal, so check out the pounds per pressure. I live in FL and we are conscious of water escape, but I never thought to place one by rear window. Thank you for that post. I will be placing one with every seat belt and the back window. I would also add that electrical windows will stop working a doors won't open until pressure is equal in and outside of the car. Be safe you'all

[@RVREVO]

That final image was haunting. Human shape trapped like that. At least he was found and the family have peace. My sincerest condolences to family and friends of Jacob

[@ChargedDak]

Great job jared and the crew with AWP you guys have changed hope for so many families keep up the great work❤

[@allisonbiere7894]

Oh my goodness this is sad. I was so shook up looking at the picture on the sonar of Jacob trying to escape his car

[@vancemcgill8314]

That preview for next episode, him showing up on sonar. That has to be the most shocking thing I've seen from ANY of these search and recovery videos from any team. Holy cow! I am very much looking forward to next episode! My heart goes out to Jacob';s family.

[@coldblue9mm]

Jared, I don't know how you do what you do, but I know a lot of people are very happy you provide this service so they can get closure. I've been around deceased people but to be around them underwater is just way too much for me. You are one brave man. My folks lived down in this area and there are so many places a person could get in trouble with all the canals and waterways. With all the wrecked cars in this particular area, I wonder how many people got out of those wrecked cars, only to drowned and bodies floated away to be lost forever. Sad deal for sure.

[@jakeniewold3094]

What you all do is amazing and heaven sent. Prayers for all the family's you have brought closer. And prayers to you and your crew 🙏

[@geoffap0]

Jared and Team are the Real Deal! Thank you for donating your time to such a great cause!

[@Sheila612Miller]

Bring all the cars and trucks up. Not only may you find closer for other families but will save fish/ turtles/ducks from cancer and death from the metals in their waters. Condolences to the family and friends in this case. Great job.

[@tammymorrow6301]

And possible evidence.

[@stackhouse1-km4rw]

I was shocked at how many vehicles are in that waterway! I hope that they do begin to recover all the cars in there. I cant see them all just being ditched for insurance money, etc.....

[@Free_Ranger_CT110]

I can't imagine the torment the last image will cause Jacob's family. RIP Jacob & very best wishes to his family & friends.

[@jennifertansky9569]

The fact you took the time to take screen shots to pass along your knowledge and experience, says a lot about you as a person. You have a compassion for families and you and your whole team deserve so much love and respect. Ty for your efforts and time everyone involved. ❤

[@kimbreitbarth457]

I am so appreciative of the documentary feel to your videos. It's a serious somber subject and the videos deserve the professional edit, commentary and camera shots. Personally, we boat the Delta waterways and are by the ferry crossing on Little Potato Slough numerous times a summer. Prayers for Jacob will be given every time we boat over that site. RIP Jacob.

[@tricial7468]

I wish Doug Bishop would have had your back but at the end of the day, you taught him everything he knew about recovering lost love one's im just thankfully that you're back behind the wheel and still helping these families that are searching for there lost loved one's who are missing keep doing what your doing because without you AWP would not be what it is today

[@tammymorrow6301]

Thank you for your prayers.

[@rpurdy4821]

Oh man, that last sonar image really freaked me out! I thought, that cant be what I think it is. Then Jared says exactly what I feared it was! My heart dropped and I got chills up my spine.

[@RapiersSting]

glad to see you back Jared.

[@MrsMoon-qs2gf]

Thanks for all you guys do!

[@bo6142]

53:23 That is ablsoutly horrifying. I cant imagine the things going through yalls heads at night, the thoughts and scarrs left from this type of work. I hope you all the best with your mental health

[@kristenwilliams3632]

I can (and at the same time, can't), understand how these families feel when they say, "I hope you don't find him". Because as much as they want closure, they want to hang onto that hope that their loved one is just out there living their life somewhere. No matter what the circumstances, just alive and well. That inner struggle must be pure h*ll and I'm so deeply sorry for anyone and everyone that has to experience this 😔 😢

[@GrammyTammy13]

I Love that you took the time to answer questions and teach this lady a few tips and it was Pretty Cool to see Matthew Moss in the video he is a Good human.

[@leoniekaur8145]

Seeing him on that scan trying to escape....felt like actually seeing a ghost. Horrfiying, but so glad his sister wasn't the one to find him that way.

[@JustalilJaded]

Thank you for continuing to help these families. You do so much good in this world, Jared. That last clip got me!! I went to school with a young man who used his exhaust, they found him window down door cracked, like he changed his mind, just a little too late. Rest easy Boys.

[@judi_just_judi]

I am sorry to read about your former class-mate.

[@culturebreath369]

You guys hold the up most respect to these victims and families. Cheers to you all at the team! ❤ Edit: that last image.... 😮😱

[@dloregon]

I am glad to see that you finally got someone working with you, It has been a while since I watched any of your recoveries,, Keep up the good work.

[@sarahstorr]

You are so patient and thorough. You do a fantastic job helping these families. Thank you. ❤

[@deplorableinyogapants]

Absolutely RIDDLED with goosebumps at the last scene. Oh my goodness!

[@sherrieowens9195]

Y'all are such good people for helping these families find their loved ones. I have been watching yall since the start. I have seen y'all help so many families. I know they tell y'all thank you, but Us watchers also want to say thank you so much We love you guys. Prayers for the family 🙏🏼

[@cedarcottagefarm2885]

My heart goes out to Jacobs family. I’m so sorry for your loss. May Jacob Rest In Peace.

[@noelinerenwick5347]

Well done Jarrod and crew, i love the way you tell your storys, aĺ straight to the point and no dribbling on about stuff we dont or cant see ourselves
