Diving YouTubers Have Found Remains of 16 Missing People

In 2018, Oregon-based scuba-diver Jared Leisek started cleaning up local rivers and posting videos of the underwater adventures to his YouTube channel, Adventures With Purpose. When the group began recovering submerged vehicles, families of missing people began to take notice. Montana resident Bob Goff had been looking for his wife, Tammy, for nearly three years when he contacted the group for help searching for her truck in the river where Tammy’s dog was found shortly after she disappeared.

“..148 weeks...”
This man was literally counting the weeks gone without his wife. I pray for this man to live a happy, long life.

He’s not just a youtube diver, they’ve literally helped families who were refused help by the police. They’re amazing

I can't imagine being underwater and finding a human body down there. That's horrifying. Credit to those guys for helping find closure for 11 grieving families.

Solved 16 missing persons cases.. These gentlemen deserve more recognition, they should be given Medals. Well done. It is a real shame Police don't have the resources and time to fund these searches.

Makes you wonder how many people have gone missing in the water that we don’t know of yet. God bless this man and the work he does.

[NStalgia]

How is he more capable than public servants and "professionals"? This guy deserves a hell of a lot more credit

Just the other day my friend Jeremy and I solved another cold case. 84 year old Miriam Ruth Hemphill. This is such a heartwarming story snd I’m proud to say I’ve been able to work with Adventures with Purpose in several instances.

I don't know why these guys aren't all over every social media site and news station. I can't watch enough of them. They're amazing!

This man helped me find my wife who was missing for 3 years. I can’t thank you enough my friend, I now can sleep in peace. god bless that beautiful soul of yours.

This is incredible. How amazing would the world be if ordinary citizens pitched in to help each other like this.

It’s been a great blessing to be able to serve others in this way. Glad I followed my dream to become a scuba diver. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagined all the lives that would be touched along the way. Grateful for the journey! I encourage all of you to follow your dreams and hug your loved ones ❤️
You never know where it might take you…

This is clearly a case of these guys finding their calling in life, it’s a difficult job but the peace and answers they get for people who lost loved ones can’t be expressed how important it is for the family’s of those missing.. well done guy’s. The worlds a better place with people like you in it.

Incredible that the police divers “couldn’t or wouldn’t” search the waterways yet this group of divers have found 16 - that’s incredible for the families. May God keep these divers safe at all times.

[unknown_wanderer]

Oddly terrifying but it's good that he found missing people who have been unsuccessfully searched as a contribution.

[grimcity]

Damn, never heard of these guys... what they're doing is incredibly honorable. Much respect.

[ritachira]

when he held his wife’s license plate in his hands… you could tell he was fighting a battle field worth of tears- imagine this youre wife of 42 years is missing and you find her truck, with the license plate and her corpse in it this is so sad my heart goes out to him and I hope he’s doing ok now :(

[eveline]

He truly gives his life purpose. Amazing

[ashleynichols]

They recently found my aunt’s brother-in-law who had been missing since March. The work they do is amazing!

[ripwednesdayadams]

I am crying watching that man break down with his wife’s license plate in his hand. I can only imagine how difficult it is to lose your best friend and partner in life. It’s amazing to see the love between them after 42 years together. One can only hope to be so lucky to find that kind of love.

[triciac]

That is so good they helped this lady find her brother relatively soon.
