We traveled to Austin, Texas to help search for missing person Adrian Washington, last seen in 2012, we searched Lady Bird Lake for his missing car and discovered two stolen vehicles. We reported them to the police and also learned that 10 bodies had been found in this lake since 2022 killed by a suspected serial killer. In addition the two cars we found are suspectedly stolen by the Kia boys, a group of teen that steal cars and commit crimes.

More info on Adrian's case:
Adrian was last seen in Austin, Texas on May 25, 2012. He was driving a black 2001 Ford Expedition with the Texas license plate number CP1P982. At 9:00 a.m., he stopped at Planet Fitness off Anderson Lane. After that he went to a dry-cleaning business, where he was given $300 worth of dry-cleaning for free because he was such a good customer. Surveillance cameras filmed his car at a toll booth on Interstate 45 after that.

Adrian has never been heard from again. One of the two cellular phones he was carrying was found on a sidewalk in San Antonio, Texas a few days after his disappearance. It was in good condition and wasn't scratched; it looked as if someone had deliberately placed the phone on the sidewalk rather than dropping it.

Aldo Ray Washington, one of Adrian's cousins, is considered a person of interest in his disappearance. He was the last person to see Adrian, and the two men talked on the phone frequently. In the month before Adrian's disappearance, Aldo called his cellular phone over 100 times. After Adrian went missing, however, Aldo never dialed his phone number again.

Aldo stated he was with a friend, Kenneth Ray Hamilton, at the time Adrian vanished, but authorities haven't been able to confirm this alibi and they think Hamilton may have been involved in Adrian's disappearance as well.

Adrian left behind a wife and three children. He's missing under suspicious circumstances and his case remains unsolved.

    Always nice when enforcement behaves this way instead of acting like you are bothering them.
  • Adam, when you say we “kinda” do this for a living, it downplays what you guys do. It’s awesome what you guys do!
  • @timothyrill3825
    For limited water to check and you find two stolen cars. Stay at it guys, you are appreciated. ❤
  • @nancytanguay3178
    It's nice to get those cars out of the water even if you didn't find Adrian.
  • @Christine_J
    Well done! Nice to see a department that appreciated your work.
  • I'm an hour away from Austin..My old stomping ground back in my youth. Now I'm 62 and due to the things going on there the last 20 years..I have stayed clear of there.
  • I truly have so much respect for you and Nug. Thank you for going out and searching for the lost loved ones.
  • @muncheesuppar
    i remember how wary Nug was of LE when you guys started , it's great how well LE treats you guys now and the rest of the teams that do this , well done guys.
  • Great job, Adam. You and Jeremy make an awesome team. Don't downplay what you do. You 2, and all the dive teams help these families so very much. You all are loved by so many. Hugs to you both.❤🫂
  • @vickibird8007
    Great job, guys! I am actually very impressed with how well Austin Police worked with guys and for keeping you updated! Hopefully, Adrian will be located to help bring some peace to their family.
  • @pampage7162
    Beautifully done! You brought the story of the family and produced a very nice recording of the search efforts and interactions with city officials. You might have been disappointed about not having your new boat in the water, but your old faithful sonar boat and new magnet dropping techniques proved effective! As more ppl become aware of your efforts , you may get called in earlier by families tired of waiting on law enforcement that's low on staff.
  • @TinyBugg7042
    Great job!! I’m an Austinite and happy you found those cars Fact: about 7 yrs ago, give or take a year or two, Texas license plates used to be 6 characters and that changed to 7 characters. And they are, unless a vanity plate or something close to a vanity plate( ones where you can pay 💰 extra for) only black and white- exactly like the license plates you found. Grateful for all that you do!
  • @Suebe1962
    You guys have learned so much over the last few years, and now you are pros at what you do!!! 👍👍👍 Good to see “Bob” the little sonar boat in action!!!
  • @peteraitken6494
    Brilliant work guys law enforcement seemed pretty cool and helpful too glad these cars were empty and got taken out stay safe and have a great week ahead 👍👌❤️🙏
  • @laurafry3023
    Thanks for coming to serve Texas, guys!! We love and appreciate!!
  • @nadine_ghc3465
    Well made video. Cooperation and respect for what you do from local authorities was great to see. Doing most of the diving Adam. I hope you can get a new suit soon.
  • Well done guys. Adam needs dry suit if anyone can help. Adam put that on a list of things you need. ❤
  • @Theresa6121
    Don't ever down play what you guy"s do out there, when every time you dive you put yourselves in danger to help others. 💙💚
  • @ednaatluxton4918
    Another great job guys. I know you'll find Adrian in the future. You cleared places he isn't and found stolen cars. Those police were amazing for being short staffed. My heart goes out to his family.❤️🇨🇦
