That lady is easily bothered????
Why…funding……taxes….you
Adventures With Purpose just keeps stepping up and using their sonar to find folks. They’re incredible. I just wish they weren’t needed here. So sad.
She was drunk, at least she didn’t take anyone else with her. Do not drive drunk! No idea why her parents let het go to a party with alcohol.
I consider this the parents fault
I was hoping they would help bc I knew they would bring results if she was there.
That areas law enforcement must be completely worthless.
They are totally, every town where these guys find a body could have done it , too afraid to go in the water.
I’ve been saying from the beginning to use AWP. I’m glad they finally did. I hope the family has some closure. Such a sad outcome.
AWP is showing the country all you have to do is invest in standard fishing sonar equipment. They aren’t using anything special or “cutting edge.”
It’s the experience in how to use that equipment and interpert what you are seeing on the screen.
Their skills with the equipment is “cutting edge.”
Probably got really drunk and drove in thinking she was driving to the road.
We all support The AWP movement 👍. Been a fan since the beginning. I knew they could do it.
More people should watch AWP so many lost people in water that weren’t found until they ( AWP ) went looking
So sad !
Suicide?
Maybe a fairly local police agency doesn’t have the budget for the equipment that the private search team has and that’s why they couldn’t find the car
They had local, county, and state officers including a regional S&R team there. Nothing AWP is expensive or hard to use. Unfortunately the police keep using the money on useless military equipment to play commando instead of stuff like this that is VASTLY less expensive, to use, train with, and maintain.
It’s down to training in how to interpet what you are seeing on a sonar screen.
I pray for her family and her soul. May she rest in peace.—-You need to consider providing more reporting on anyone’s moon upcoming landings and pre landing information. Ukraine is not receiving saturated coverage therefore we would appreciate some moon and mars updates.
Have they found the killers ?
She probably was drunk and drove herself into the lake
the lake was her killer bruv
My heart goes out to all the missing women and children of color that don’t get this type of coverage. You ABSOLUTELY matter!❤❤
@Pac4Prez on Maury Povich
M issing
W hite
G irl
S yndrome
is the technical name of this phenomenon
@Big Tay 😂
They probably followed the tire tracks into the water, and the car was visible from the air , choppers and horses, hundreds of searchers and they could throw a rock and hit it from where she was last seen.
I guess you didn’t hear the part about the use of sonar. Shame on you 🤦🏻♂️
so sad 😭
NBC loves it.
Imagine if she killed someone drinking and driving? but it’s ok because shes a white girl.
Wow. How do they NOT HV ADVANCED training??? Hats off to Adventures w purpose!
They didn’t try to find her. NOW people are seeing what black and indigenous people go through on a regular basis from so called law enforcement 🙄🤔
That’s what you think about when you see a story like this? I hope I never end up that bitter and miserable.
What makes a victim worthy of national attention? Wealth or social status? Looks or popularity? Not asking for me.
Ask yourself. Hmm
It’s not about being worthy, it’s about generating views from people like you.
Criteria is: white or fare skin
@Just lovely AKA REALLIELLIE, I don’t see myself is missing posters either because I’m such a victim.
@Just lovely AKA REALLIELLIE white, young, skinny female
SO SAD AND SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS FAMILY OF KILEY BUT THANKFUL FOR THIS OUTSIDE TEAM THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN LOCATING HER – GOD GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO ENDURE THE PAIN ❤️💞🙏😢
You think the family actually go on YouTube and read comments?
@Sik Style They are leaving condolences, same way you did to those people in the truck. 😇
These guys are amazing!! Cops are useless!!
law enforcement dont have the equipment or knowledge , they have a budget i guess and have to decide how best to use it , but i do think it would be worthwhile each state having a unit like this
True, even if they had it; they dont have the experience on how to use it effectively
Nothing AWP does is particularly hard, and there were state and regional S&R teams there with a VASTLY higher budget than what AWP works with. Police don’t bother to train and they spend too much money on military surplus so they can pretend to be commandos instead of using a little bit to run two boats and some fish finders.
Adventures with Purpose does great work.
Its not equipment, its called (BALLS)
If one of my kids ever goes missing near water im calling these guys , been following theor work for 2 years they are amazing , please donate , they are vuluntary and funded by kind donations
The government should hire these people and learn from them
The man at the end says “youtube” like it is the first time he has ever said it.
1) Parents shouldn’t allow minors to go to parties with under age drinking. 2) She shouldn’t have been driving while intoxicated. Intoxicated drivers not only put their own lives at risk, but risk the lives of other drivers on the road. 3) In California, it is illegal to tattoo a minor (under 18). How did she have a tattoo? What kind of parents allowed this? 4) The people who gave her alcohol or drugs and allowed under age drinking need to be charged with a crime. 5) Did her parents know about the party and that alcohol would be involved?
@Bryan Everett I brought up her having a tattoo because it was intended to question the judgement and parenting of her parents. Also, what parents allow a teenager to go to a party with hundreds of people and likelihood of alcohol? Driving while intoxicated is unacceptable. She should have slept in her car and gone home the next day when completely sober and there was sunlight.
@EX-TV Ratings Guy, you must be a conservative if you question a person’s parental abilities based on a tattoo.
@Bryan Everett It is a cumulativation of factors including that she was 16 and at a campground with hundreds of other party goers. There was alcohol involved. She drove her car into a lake and died. Would a reasonable parent allow their 16 year old to drive to a party (most likely involving alcohol)?
I’m not a conservative. I’m just saying this tragedy could have been avoided with better parenting. It probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars searching for her. The tragedy could easily have been avoided, and that money could have been better spent helping the homeless or people in need.
@Tiahna Rodriguez, I’m a conservative. I don’t think minors should be getting tattoos or getting gender reassignment surgery. Conservatives still believes in parenting.
Why do people keep saying they know what happened,how did she get in the water was she murdered did she drive into it her self it’s still a lot of questions that need answering.
No. She’d been drinking, it was dark, what she thought was a road turned into a slipway. If you watch Adventures with Purpose’s channel you’d know this happens far too often.
@PeskyPenguin well sorry I don’t watch that chanel I’ll have to subscribe but the way the news was painting the picture she was sobor and them saying she left early like maybe she wasn’t in the mood to get hammered but I see what your saying and if she was drunk how it could of been an accident
The simplest solution is nearly always the likely solution.
🙏🏾
how much good stuff does the news tell you??? just wondering?seems its all fear or there trying make you angry….where are the good storys????the good news???
The rabid t-shirt ignificantly request because lunge elderly pedal below a keen door. whole, sore aluminium
Adventures With Purpose is a wonderful group!
😇😇😪
only thing this story proves is that Law enforcement is under equipped and incompetent.
I figure they will investigate for foul play?
Why?
So in the end it was her fault all the long and the who kidnap story was just a fabricated lie for media attention.. Who woulda thought?
AWAP is amazing. May Kiely Rest In Peace.
AWP should be training every police dive team in the country
“Law enforcement” in this country is TOTALLY worthless.
Doesn’t help when people keep calling for them to be defunded.
@Buck Down Under but they haven’t been defunded. And should do their jobs. No reason a group of guys who doesn’t get a penny from funds distributed to law enforcement should find something in under an hour that the agencies are paid for can’t. It’s unacceptable
@Daniel L awp get more donation money then any law enforcement agency could use to s&r. They also do this on a regular basis so they’re a whole lot better than Leo’s
@Buck Down Under it doesn’t take much to be a whole lot better than law enforcement. The sheriffs department told AWP not to search that area because they already searched it. If it wasn’t for these guys that girl would have never been brought back to her family.
@Buck Down Under I’m not trying to talk trash. And I respect the fact that you support law enforcement. This is just unacceptable though.
The sheriffs department actually told AWP not to search that area because they already cleared it. Worthless!
Wow!!! What’s up with that?????
That’s not true.
They don’t have any equipment because of trump hole defunding
My prayers go to all of her family and friends. Watch out for your people n have em watch out for you. Let’s all tryn take better care of each other.
It bothers me a lot….a private company out did …the law, does the private company have more money for better equipment..?
Yes. Youtube viewers fund them as well as them getting lots of money from views. They’ve bought 2 huge RVs, boats and all the equipment in the last 3 years. If someone asked for donations so the police could get all the modern equipment they’d probably say no 🤷♀️
Neither. AWP just cares about finding people. Their equipment doesn’t even cost a lot compared to more professional companies.
The cops fail, the superheros show up and save the day.
It’s a cliche, but expected.
2 weeks and multiple dive teams found nothing, AWP shows up and finds her in a couple of hours? Defund the Search and Rescue teams, we are just paying them to party.
AWP uses fish finders that you can buy at Walmart. The two that Doug use cost around 55 hundred dollars. The Garmin is about 2000, and the Hummingbird is about 3500.
No kidding, you can get the hummingbird used on eBay for sub $2000.
Not just the equipment though. It’s the experience of how to use that equipment for the task at hand and how to interpret what you are seeing on the screen.
But the train, just about every day, to use them.
Yes. They’re pressing police to investigate the parents and friends of hers! Finally AWP stepping up to find out the REAL truth. Its never ok to feel sorry for underaged drinking, and drug users. The family let her go to parties to do just that. Her friends seen her last. Kinda messed up everyone feeling bad for druggies! AWP will continue until the parents and friends are locked up!
AWP does not blame the parents.
When it’s a white person preferably a Caucasian young girl the whole country or state make such a big deal about it.
Any other race or ethnicity is never taken this seriously. At all.
This is reality. Even since the early 19-2000s.
They don’t have the equipment because they rather use that money to buy guns and military type equipment to protect themselves.
That’s what happens when you give a 16 year old a vehicle and allow her to go a party drunk vest. Shame on her parents.
Police need to spend a lot more time in search and rescue training and update Thier tech and innovate for cutting edge tech… especially when two regular dudes can find every single police search mistake(neglect) with a boat and their own sonor
It is not that simple. AWP trains with their equipment every day. Police don’t have the money to spend on a full-time, specialty dive team.
what kind of parents let their 16-year-old kid drive to a party in the woods a 16-year-old should only be using their car for school n maybe getting food near the house shame on the parents. Whoever bought that liquor for these teens should be prosecuted to the fullest.
I totally agree! My teenage sons only drove to school (until they were 17 years old), and that was it! Now they are independent adults.
So sad, AWP has found so many young people who accidentally drove into bodies of water after leaving parties at night when inebriated. The combination of being drunk, the darkness and being young and inexperienced drivers and nearby bodies of water seems to lead to this outcome when a young persons disappearance occurs
If it is her, or whomever it is, my prayers for this tragic, sad death. But, I have to say, at least she’s not chained in some sick Epstein-type’s basement.
Even if law enforcement was given all the equipment, they still wouldn’t have found her. The difference between law enforcement and AWP is exactly in the name…they have a purpose.
These gentlemen are her heroes none of us wanted fish only to be deceased but we all probably thought it but thank God the parents and the family didn’t have to wait for years to find their daughter May she rest in peace
friends like that.WHO NEEDS ENEMIES.
I HOPE THEY LIVE WITH THIS THE REST OF THEIR PATHETIC LIVES…
Amazing, local authority put in several thousands of hours searching, ended up empty handed. While ‘Adventure With Purpose’ discovered the missing car and a body. 😲😲
Law enforcement doesn’t GAF! That’s why. But the police union will make sure the police budget is 115% completed. adventures with purpose has done this several times with the police coming up empty handed several times.
AWP has also missed vehicles that they only discover after going back months later.
Did she drive herself into the water or get murdered?
To be fair to law enforcement: AWP does this full time, using the best equipment they can buy, and using it almost daily. Law enforcement gets equipment from the lowest bidder and uses it like twice a year, if that. In addition, they usually have 27 cases apiece in addition to the missing person, whereas AWP can focus exclusively on one case at a time. Different missions, different rules, different budgets, different experience. That’s why AWP is becoming known as a specialist resource that smart agencies are utilizing to supplement their own efforts. If you need something done, call the pros.
AWP’s entire set up including trucks and trailers is less than $100,000 which is NOTHING to a police budget. Instead they buy military surplus and then don’t even train with it. It would be cheaper and faster for the police to have their own gear, it is not that hard, but diving is harder than PRETENDING to be special forces at the pumpkin festival.
more dumb parents that need to be busted for child endangerment..
God bless you Dr OSABA on YouTube I use your medicine for 14days now am cured from Herpes virus, I really want to recommend you to great Dr OSABA on YouTube he has cure all king of diseases
Agencies need to be trained by AWP. They are experts and it would be money well spent. Most agencies, even large ones do not have full time experts and lack the training that AWP has. They do this everyday.
Any decent fisherman could train these officers. AWP uses fish finders which is why it is so infuriating that thousands of man hours of local, county, state, and regional officers could not find her and AWP looked for about 4 hours and found her.
Maybe if the Rich PAID taxes
9,000 man hours with hundreds of police and it took AWP something like 4 hours to find them. Police are too busy taking all of our money and jerking off with it and pretending to be navy seals instead of using that money for proper training and equipment.
Law enforcement is useless
Always unroll your window and unbuckle your seatbelt when you find yourself driving into a pond lake or river! Also, WHY WAS THAT LITTLE GIRL AT 16 YEARS OLD DRIVING BY HERSELF AT ANY HOUR?????? HER FAMILY IS CULPABLE FOR HER LACK OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE WERE THERE DRUGS OR ALCOHOL INVOLVED ?WAS SHE THE ONLY VICTIM? WERE THE WATERWAYS OR ROADS MARKED? SHE WAS 16 YEARS OLD WHO SHOULD HAVE ACCOMPANIED THIS LITTLE GIRL TO DRIVE HOME ALONG SUCH OR ANYBROUTE ALONE? HERE IN CALIFORNIA NO ONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE IS ALLOWED TO DRIVE WITHOUT A LICENSED ADULT DRIVER AGE 21 AND OVER!FOR THIS VERY REASON FOR THIS VERY REASON…AND STILL WE HAVE 18 , 19 20 21 22YEAR OLDS DYING ON THE FREEWAYS ON THE ROADS FOR TEXTING FOR FIDDLING WITH CELL PHONE MUSIC PLAYLISTS FOR RADIOS FOR APPLYING MAKE UP OR LOOKING FOR SOMETHIN IN BACK SEAT OR UNDER SEATS. COME ON EVERYONE THESE DEATHS ARE PREVENTABLE PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU..NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT NOTHING NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT LIDE YOURS AND OR SOMEONE ELSES PLEASE BE SO CAREFUL AND REALIZE HOW PRECIOUS AND IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE YOUR LIFE IS TO SO MANY…EVEN MOMS ACROSS THE NATION LIKE ME PRAYING WE DONT LOSE ANY MORE KIDS PLEASE LORD HAVE MERCY GO WITH YOUR KIDS DRIVING TEACH THEM NO DRINKING DRUGGING TEXTING MUSIC SEARCHING WHILE DRIVING PLEASE…
My heart my love and my warmest tightest embrace goes to those mothers. Sending so much love strength and support. Amen.
So glad my kids don’t drink but especially, don’t drink and drive. What a tragedy!
Adventures With Purpose should receive the reward for finding her, because there is a $75,000.00 reward on her were abouts and Adventures With Purpose deserves that reward because they found her so I really hope they receive it because they take their time to go out and find people’s loved ones and they are a such a remarkable dive team and they have gave a lot of families some closers on finding their loved ones.
She lived a short but seemingly good life
She did not know where she was and she drove off into the lake… If they put lights up around where the lake and land..ends this would did not happen… Anybody can drive off until they like if they don’t know where they’re at
Shows how well the police searched
Police DO NOT like these guys at all… #nogoodcop
Great job guys, doing the real work!
16 years old and obviously drunk and driving , she drove right into the water. Parents are to blame for letting a 16 year old drive to a party where there is booze and who knows what else.
Don’t drink and drive!
My son is 17 year old and got his driver license..still I never let him drive alone..not to mention going to party and do whatever at midnight…no prejudgment here but I don’t think there is anything wrong with the car..just have to wait for the autopsy report..
World full of evil and this stuff will only get worse, because folks praise what’s evil today.
Seems like to me every sheriff’s and police stationneeds a squad trained by jarred and his crew
Classical death from misadventure
This is a specialty that AWP has spent hundreds of hours honing their skills and continuing to learn because they are not tied to one geographic area. It’s not something that most law enforcement at least at this point would have the resources available (both time and money) to dedicate to learn it to this level. AWP will be the first to say that they work with law enforcement, and that law enforcement has the skills for multiple other parts of their job that AWP wouldn’t even begin to try to do. They also talk about how hard it is to find a car that is newly sunk with radar, and it also depends on the clarity of the water.
Keily fly high with the angels baby girl and sincere condolences to lindsay and Daniel ❤️ 💙 💜
Jesus, people – stop blaming the parents! Consider yourself lucky that you aren’t the ones who paid the ultimate price to learn this lesson for everyone else. Count your blessings and stop looking for someone to blame for an _accident._
Some of those off-duty cops were there probably and they had something to do with it because the interview with the cops from that town was so nervous and shaky something is going on but it’s not just local to that town it’s on social media too it sounds weird but don’t block me for saying this because it’s the truth
Money lady, MONEY. Departments dont have the money to spend on the equipment.
I don’t believe she drove in by accident or suicide… I believe someone did this and left her to die….
Terrible! And only 16. Very sad!
How to escape a sinking vehicle. Adventures with Purpose video.https://youtu.be/dDgxMMM8omg
I saw the 14:24 video on this channel from the helicopter of the car being pulled out of the water. My question is. There should’ve been tracks of the car going in. I’m just surprised that somebody hasn’t noticed them during their initial search the day Kiely was reported missing.
So foul play or teen texting and driving ?
How drunk was she? If it ain’t killing black folks, cops don’t do anything. Because all their equipment is weapons.
