Angels are normally portrayed in illustrations as having wings, but the Bible normally presents them as appearing like men (and so without wings). For example, three angels appeared to Abraham and at first he thought they were men (Genesis 18:2Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). Similarly, when an angel appeared to Samson’s parents, they thought he was a “man of God” (Judges 13:9-10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). Hebrews 13:2Open in Logos Bible Software (if available) says that some people have “entertained angels unawares”, indicating that they appear as ordinary human beings. Sometimes angels appear in white. Examples are John 20:12Open in Logos Bible Software (if available) and Acts 1:10Open in Logos Bible Software (if available). But wings are never mentioned. There is one passage which describes the angel in “swift flight” (Daniel 9:21Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)), but again no wings are mentioned. And there is no reason to think that a spirit being would need wings to fly.
I doubt angels have wings.lol That's something that Christians,etc started SAYING/PICTURING they had basically. Just like pics of Jesus that ppl have in their homes is false,noone knew exactly what Jesus looked like so why make up a pic of what you think he looks like?. That's the same thing as false advertising basically.
As a former Senior Emergency Communications Officer, EMT and Hostage Negotiator I applaud your team and its mission. You all are providing what I, in my position of authority often could not, closure and eventual peace of mind. Well done! As a thanks, I'll confirm the one rumor everyone has heard about law enforcement. Yes, it's absolutely true about the donuts. 🙂
Thank you for your service! 🙏🏼❤️ I know law enforcement has been.. horribly beaten down in the last few years.. but most of us do appreciate everything you do. Thanks.
Doug, you have come so far since the days when you were a tow truck driver, just helping out, to now leading these investigations. Your compassion really shows, and your analytical mind will help you go even further. My new shirt arrived today, and I will wear it proudly.
This really touched my heart… when my only son was in a fatal car accident at 18yrs. his best friend was killed and my son flew over 100’ thru thick woods he was in a coma for a month and brain trauma center for a month! He is truly a miracle! Please keep doing what you do and helping these families! ❤️
I am thankful for you having your son. I’m sorry for the family who lost theirs. I know your heart aches to even think of this tragic event. I pray your son will lean on Jesus as he recovers from the memories.
@@bread-gz3rl There are cases from WWII where pilots jumped out of their airplanes with no parachute, yet they lived. It's in the slowing down of the landing, even if rough. One pilot fell through layers of glass, the other hit tree limbs before he fell into a pile of snow. Later, the Germans came up and saw him smoking a cigarette. They were impressed.
Doug really gave his all into this search! His way of explaining cases and speaking to families and we the viewers is just so concise! He’s confident and puts his own skill set to use! Whether it’s Doug or Jared or both telling the story, they both have their strengths. They both are practically investigators! Doug, great detective work with Allison. I admire her knowledge of all cases and dedication! Astrid is such a strong woman. I’m not a mom and don’t have the parent and child relationship, but I understand love and her love for her family is so powerful and unconditional. I just want to hug her!
I just iwsh he had a little LESS confidence when speaking about things he has no knowledge of. It is not a measure of one's ability or intellect to say you don't know, or a state a theory as a theory -as opposed to a sure thing so often. The way he misuses the five dollar words and common phraseology all the time tho is kinda amusing.
@@sassafraspaul7528 I think what she is saying is that he doesn't know as much as what he wants people to think he knows. There is a difference between arrogance and confidence.
@@JamieManous Thank you 😊! I commented as soon as I saw him stumble but as I watched I realized that they new he had been drinking. But I should have definitely read the description better! I usually stop reading when I see the links in descriptions. After reading your reply I went to read the description and saw what you were saying after all the links. Have a Blessed day!
One day I was watching some Video and I took a chance and clicked on one of your videos. That was one of the smartest clicks I have done on a computer. You guys are so good it lifts my spirits up after I watch one of your videos. Thank you so much Doug, Jared and fantastic crew behind the cameras.
I love Doug and Jared's passion, persistence and perseverance! I know you will find Steve! Kudos to Carson and the team members for their excellent coverage and assistance!!
Left me in tears....My heart goes out to the family...I have 3 adult boys now , and I cannot even begin to imagine how I would handle it if one went missing. Doug you are an angel.
This one had me weeping at the end, when Steven’s mom talked about the dream she had seeing the light and her son in the arms of Jesus. God knows how to ease a mom’s worry about her son. Bless her heart! Thank you Doug for searching the waterways and spotting so many cars on sonar. Thanks to Allison of Guardians of the Missing with her continued search for Steven Mackrell. Video was so well done!!! Looking forward to part 2!
Doug I love your tact with the family members. You demonstrate great empathy and understanding! AWP is the only channel I support, you and all the members of the AWP team are wonderful people. Thank you for all you do for everyone to help bring closure to these families. I've never been in this situation and hope I never am. My heart goes out to the families in this situation. Keep up the awesome work AWP!
I grew up in South Florida and remember seeing friends posting about this when he went missing. I found this channel about a month ago and have watched so many of your videos and actually thought that this case would be one you guys could take on. There are so many canals, lakes and areas of water where a car could be dumped down there. South Florida really is a different world and I'm surprised your team is not brought in for more investigations in the area. Thank you for what you all do for so many families!
I agree with this comment. So much water to be covered down in South Florida, but I think about the amount of gators and how dangerous it must be to dive for cars and missing people down here. Just this past weekend, two cars went into the water. One person was able to recovered alive, which is amazing.
The mom is delusional and in denial. She is the epitome of a bad mom that never thinks her kid is responsible for anything. That is how kids end up being like her son. Drinking and driving, getting violent, just being bad people. I have an aunt just like her. Nothing is never her son's fault, he never does anything wrong, always an excuse for everything. He is in and out of jail, is an addict, but to her he is an angel.
Well done, Doug. Your interviewing and personal relations skills are developing beautifully. So proud of your efforts to move forward in an area you know to be so important. I wonder if you were voted the most likely to become a "tv/you tube" star in your senior year.
thank you Dough, Carson and team! as a believer myself who lost a family member, my uncle, dead in the middle of the night on a street left alone just after he met his friends in a night club, and we never know who killed him that night, more than 20 years it’s still making me wondering about my uncle. I can imagine how it feels for Steven’s Mom.. thank you for helping this family! 🙏🏻
@@Amandaaaaaa123 thank you so much Lola! Our big family already let it all to God because it’s Him and the perpetrator(s) know what happened that night. If we don’t get justice in this world, we will in another world.
@@froggylove4225 thanks so much! it’s been a cold case for more than two decades and our big family has let it be. We know God loves him and us, we may not understand why it’s happened this way, but in the end later it’ll be for our good. My late grandma had the same dream like Steven’s mom a week after the funeral. But I hope Steven’s mom gets the answer she needs.. 🙏🏻
It's also possible that he knew he was being followed, and instead of leading potential danger to his place of living; where his girlfriend, and daughter were, and risking them getting involved. He chose to lead them in the opposite direction. As a parent with a life partner, and 2 daughters of my own, had I gotten into that situation - I would have lead them away from my loved ones. Just a possibility to consider if it'll help expand the search area's.
@@Bluebloods7 The issue here, if you listened to the conversation with the family, is that he wasn't merely drunk. He worked all night, then went out fishing for 10-12 hours, did a few things afterwards, then out drinking. He had very, very little sleep in a 32 hour period plus was drunk. It is extremely well known that sleep deprivation causes cognitive impairment. Add alcohol to the mix and the dude is not making any really good "logical" decisions or having "moments of clarity" and that's apparent on the CCTV footage.
That's possible however, I have the occasional nasty exchange with somebody in a store or whatever. He may have just caught a stranger on the wrong day
@@ShandeleReynolds you must not have read their comment well. The op said that the missing person "wasn't merely drunk" as in, there were other impairment factors involved. So, no matter how little alcohol they consumed, the missing man would have still been far too impaired for any moments of clarity.
I don't subscribe/join channels (pay) ever, but this is one I absolutely had to. A good cause rather than just pure entertainment and I absolutely love knowing people are doing great things to help families!!!!
Me as well, the ONLY channel I “pay” for as the money is helping so many people. As they continue, update their equipment, they are finding more and more. The sad thing is anybody with a boat has the ability to do this. Yes, it may be expensive, but think about all the help you may be able to provide to a family…..God forbid it might be one of us seeking this kind of help…I just can’t wrap my head around the pain of not knowing! Godspeed AWP!!! Remember to take care of your own mental health along the way, this cannot be easy on the psyche
And the entertainment factor also plays in with more eyes and ears knowing the stories behind cases and drives the factor of more info being released and more awareness made I love everything the awp movement has done and will do in the future
I love what you guys do! may I offer a tad bit of advice, Doug? and this is only because I used to dive too ..Please take at least 15 minutes to catch your breath between dives...I got really concerned on your second dive when I heard how fast you where actually breathing---even in shallows you can get the bends if you breath canned air to fast...I only am suggesting this for your safety
Oh my goodness when the mom shared that dream she had at the end 😭😭 that was so beautiful. Blessings to all of you 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ This work you do touches so many lives and in so many ways.
Doug, you amaze me. Can't believe you started with a tow truck and you are now running the show. You can do it all, from locating targets, to diving, to helping with recovery. You are an incredible person. On a side note, you are really looking fit.
this is the importance of keeping your cool with strangers. You never know who you are disrespecting and how crazy they are. Him throwing that can sealed his fate
Regardless...his family needs closure. I'm pretty sure this show is not about the blame game. I know I have been an a****** at times when I've had a bad day or whatever I'm sure you can say the same
Doug, I could see how frustrated you were getting at the dumping ground. But you went “nah, I’m gonna work smarter not harder”, and used every tool available to cross them off the list. Plus your visual knowledge of vehicles-general sizes, lengths, window shapes, etc. is an extremely useful skill 👍🏼 You’ve been great since you first came on with AWP, but in the past couple of months have really hit your stride. Thanks for all that you and the team do. Carson, yes you were killing it out there too ☺️😜
My heart goes to this mom. I lost my 21 year old daughter 9 years ago of natural causes. The excruciating pain is the same from stillborn to murder. I pray that car is found to bring some “closure”. Thank you all for all the wonderful job you do.
@@ShandeleReynolds This disease is like Lupus, it attacks your joints and vital organs. You can end in a wheelchair. And she was lean and fit, was in the Color Guard in her High School Band.
I found this channel a couple weeks ago while I'm recovering from covid. I can't watch anything else. I couldn't see the cars in the beginning but now I am able to see it. My dreams are in sonar 😂 So grateful for what you do. Every recovery brings me to tears. I live in Minnesota-- 10,000 lakes. So many go missing up in Cass County-- now I wish there was a AWP up there. I'll never see the lakes and rivers again without thinking about this. Not to mention the mining pits that are so deep near the iron range. Keep up the good work. The other channels don't compare to how you let us "see through your eyes". ❤
Doug is such a smart, smart man. His gift of discernment is just incredible! I think one of his greatest attributes (although there are many) is that he truly listens. God bless AWP!❤🙏🇺🇸
What a fantastic search. Doug you are awesome. Mom breaks my heart. She so misses her son. I prayer y’all find Steven she needs peace. God be with you all. Prayers for all. Love and hugs. Thanks for sharing 🥰
I very rarely comment on videos, but this channel deserves so many more subscribers! They never "beg" for money (like some other channels that are doing nothing for their community) They are so deserving, so appreciated, and needed in this world! Thank you is all I can say!
I hope Doug will continue this adventures your empathy really shows your so appreciated keep up the good work of helping these families find there loved ones your amazing! 😊❤
I had a dream after my son passed. We met up and I asked him, "Do you hear word I say?" and he answered yes. I asked again, "Every single word?" and he emphatically said "Yes!"
I had one of my Mom. She said, "Tell everyone not to worry. Tell everyone we're all here." I asked, "Where? Who's here?" She responded, "I'm with my Dad now." It was real as day and I woke up in a fit, sobbing, and called a few people at 3AM to tell them about it. Never had a dream like it in my life.
Thank you Mr. Doug for the case presentation, the methodology of your search parameters. Worked LE and the resources have been dismal for years. Your tenacity and willingness to do this work set you apart. Thanks to the lady who has assisted in the searches from the beginning. Thank you Carson and Josh for your hard work as well!
Being from south Florida and having friends that knew Steven this one hits close to home. Thanks for taking this case guy’s! Hope you can find answers and bring him home
Outstanding video! Doug truly is a people person. He is so kind and considerate. The underwater video was so clear compared to the usual sludge that has to be dealt with. The scanning is so interesting seeing all the dumped cars.It was great the officer has stayed involved.Great video and prayerfully he will be found.👍🏻
It’s amazing to see how far this group has come. Doug is really doing a great job! I love this team of people. Hope they can help solve this case on day 2.
You guys are amazing. I"ve been a fan of your channel for many months now and to know that you are here in South Florida blows my mind. You guys really travel the country to do amazing things. I'm from this area and never heard of this case but so glad you guys are working on it. Keep doing what you do!
I’ve been made aware of a case this morning through TikTok but I really feel would benefit from y’all’s services. 22 year old Savannah Hale went missing without a trace with her vehicle on May 4th after leaving her boyfriends house in Shreveport. Sounds like she left in the middle of the night and they had been drinking some that night.
They must got your msg cause they have been giving her there all I don’t think that poor baby is in a body of water unfortunately something just don’t feel right about it
Thank you Doug! Praying for the family and for you doug and all that everyone does for these hurting families. Be safe out there and God bless you all🤗
As a fan of old sunken ships, it's absolutely amazing and alarming what mysteries, all bodies of water have lying on the bottom. Not just the litter or lost items but actual possible cold cases of missing folks. Scary as hell, when you think about it but the service you guys are giving to countless families is the lord's work. Please support these guys! You must never know what connection you may have to something or someone they turn up. God bless you AWP. There's truly not enough words, money or love to reward your passion.
Thank you for not giving up on Steven, for his baby girl and his sweet mother, thank you for searching. People like you make me believe in human kindness.
The work you do is amazing! Your growth in investigative process and film production is excellent. Keep your work private, who needs big production anyway!
The mom telling her story at the end about the dream she had with Steven and Jesus by his side just made me weap with tears of joy. No matter what happens to our bodies when we die our soul still lives on and Jesus takes care of us. That is something that we can treasure and have hope and faith in and something worth holding on to. Thank you soo much Doug for taking on this case for this family. The Lord has called you to use the skills you have in order to help give some kind of hope to these families even if you don't find them, you are still trying. What an amazing movement to be a part of.
Wow, saw one of your earliest video’s, one where you all were just looking to clean up trash in the waters. Not even sure there was a recovery on that one but it’s been quit a while ago. Somehow YT algorithm has pulled one up, now I have been binge watching foe 3 or 4 days… My wife kept asking why my eyes keep watering, then I showed her one. Now you have 2 more fans. God bless you and what you all do, heart wrenching as it is, awesome to see positive things these days. The peace and answers you all have given to so many families, relatives and friends is nothing short of amazing. As I have done some recording and video editing, and know the time, knowledge and energy required, I have to give kudo’s to your editing, videography, commentary, production of your video’s, and all your crew for their professionalism and dedication. And another to all the law enforcement with their cooperation, assistance, and information. Keep up the great work, Godspeed and be safe.
Wonderful efforts Doug!! I was hopeful that you would discover his vehicle, however timing is essential! Other vehicles needed to be found in the process first! Sending love and prayers to the family! Can’t wait to see the next update.
Another video, ready to tear up on a Friday with just utter pride and joy for you guys! KEEP ON KEEPING ON AWP! You got a whole army behind you with all their love and appreciation!
Oh man the videoorgraphy is just top of the line. And the 1 hr length video I like more better to. Just amazing work hands down with the interviews the editing the video quality. You guys are doing such a good job. Fantastic work.
I’ve been watching this channel since nick Allen, i absolutely envy all the work and care you guys put into this, you know some people don’t even have others TRYING to help and the fact that you guys are even trying probably means so much to these families! I truly enjoy watching everything you guys put out and tell anyone and everyone about you!
Thank you for moving slow enough so we can see what you see and thank you for explaining it as you go. Fascinating. You are a good teacher. You are helping to inspire others to learn in this field of work. ❤️
Doug this is your calling....You are amazing at this work which encompasses so many things...dealing with families hurting so badly....wanting desperately to help them....your level of compassion makes you one of the best for the job....thank you and Jared
Absolutely incredible. All of those cars makes you wonder just how many people could have driven off into the water, went missing and nobody ever came looking for them and since the cars are older (depending on age) you know the tech and resources were crap back then.
I love that you guys are getting into these kinds of cases. I know you didn’t want to but these are sooo good as well & could definitely use your expertise!
Well done Doug and team for all the hard work and dedication into looking into the cases and the way Stevens mom was talking about the dream at the end broke my heart that poor lady she knows in her heart hes no longer here she just wants to find her baby to give him the burial he deserves i really hope it was an accidental incident and not foulplay
I want all of y'all to know how much each of you mean to all of us who watch your channels. God bless each of you and your families. Much love, prayers, and good vibes always for all.
I just joined the team! I absolutely love what you guys do! Makes me wanna help… if you guys have any literature on what you do I would love to share with all the local police/sheriff’s offices around here. In Louisiana we have so many water ways… rivers lakes bayous and so forth. Thats not even considering the Gulf of Mexico. I’m positive your services would be a blessing to this area! Please let me know how to receive any of your info! May Gods angels surround and protect you all. You are truly His hands on earth touching the lives of so many families bringing them answers. God bless you all!
Born and raised in pompano, I have never heard of this case until now. I applaud everyone involved!! It truly does take a village. ❤️ ALSO, the images are outstanding!!
Wow, what a powerful video. Doug, you absolutely shine here with this mum. Her testimony of her faith in Jesus and the vision/dream she had was amazing. How comforting. And also of your faith in the Lord, too... although I think I heard vibes of this before in previous videos. Anyway, the crystal clear water (is that why they call that Crystal Lake, or was that the one with reeds?), that was amazing with that beautiful fish just watching you, unafraid (or wantingto know what you were doingto its 'reef', lol). How beautiful. Such trust. Right at that point, it struck me how glorious & heavenly that lake was, despite the dumped Volvo - either a crime or accident. Anyway, I'm absolutely blown away by this video already. How sad with all the vehicles in those waterways though, already. I'm so glad that you used the 360° sonar/radar, because those extra vehicles found was gobsmacking. It seems that Texas & Florida have a big car-dumping issue. Anyway, I suspect that maybe good news is coming re the sneak preview of Day 2's video to come, and also including the mum's testimony there. I'll be praying that if her son's body isn't already found by now, that it soon will be. God is faithful to honest such trust in Him. Again, great video. I love the planning, the investigations to date with that other lady, and then fresh help from your contacts in authority. We'll all be waiting for Day 2's video to drop sometime soon. We definitely need some good news after that last gut-wrenching video of a mother still expecting to see her son, yet had her world shattered. Such chalk-n-cheese reactions. Anyway, AWP, you do amazing work, and I look forward to more people being found as teams are doubled (& the AWP movement expanding, especially in finds, too). God bless you guys.
Doug did an amazing 👏 job! You came a long way and can not wait to see the rest of your search! Keep up the good work I look forward to watching all your searches
I sure hope you guys have a fun healthy outlet to decompress from these deep cases. I worry about how the emotional heaviness wears on you all. I absolutely love what you guys do; but please be sure to balance this energy so you don't burn yourselves out. ❤
What you see mostly on the AWP channel are edited to focus on the case at hand. The camera guys show some of the personal balance stuff on BTS videos on their own channels. Work hard, play hard seems to be a behind the scenes motto of the team for good reason.
Yes Doug this excellent explanation ppls don’t have any soul these days may you find Steven because a mother never rest until she bring her son home that will bring peace to her be God give you comfort
I have several questions about this. Who were these girls they had met? He had a girlfriend who was referred to as his future wife and a 1 year old daughter. He is described as wanting to spend all his free time with them but goes to work, gets off and goes fishing all day, comes back and goes out drinking and meeting up with other girls. Secondly, why isn't his license plate read after 5 or 6 days before he disappeared? He was at work and off fishing part of that time, but according to Doug, it should have been read the night he disappeared somewhere in the area he was in. Was his tag missing? Had he recently gotten a new tag? To some degree it seems like his true nature is being whitewashed a little. That isn't helpful in searching for him.
@Marc Garrett I love a guy who asks good questions!! I have a couple more to add if you don't mind.. what was the purpose in popping off the Volvo emblems and wheel cover? Does AWP run any of these extra bonus car-finds past the state and local Leo's or anybody with databases who can follow up, expand on the reasons for parking at the bottoms of lakes? Avoiding parking meters is relatable, but it's difficult to surmise any other explanation that is not nefarious in nature. ... Are they at all further investigated to potentially bring closure, justice, or/and insurance claims to other families? Are any of the municipalities alerted so they have the opportunity to be accountable for removing the environmental hazard from the water? And, When they float over other vehicles without investigating and following up, I mean, how many of these cars have a family worth of skeletons chilling inside? I'm not dogging on AWP, as what they do is far more good for humanity than most all humans do, I'm just wondering how it all works and imagining a world where all the people would come together *intentional double Beatles reference*
@@constitutionalli7522 Go and finish all the remaining work since you know so much,after bringing them down with your comment at the end your saying oooh they are doing amazing.So since you know so much go and finish up the work.
@Dorah Maybe you could go finish up the work of reading my entire comment, and explore the end of it where I clarify that I'm not dogging on awp; simply wondering what becomes of the unmarked target vehicles, and the extent of the interactions with other agencies. 🤗 Mmmkay?
He is out there somewhere. and someone knows something about this. so whoever you are come clean and give this family the answers to their prayers. its not fair that they gotta suffer anymore than they are right now!. if i was there i would be searching everywhere i could to help this family. no family needs to go through these painful moments of losing someone they love so dear. even if its an anonymous information its still Helpful. thank you doug for your determination and searching for steven. you know best what cars are worth diving on and whats not. vehicles that sit in lakes or bodies of water than have little to no movement in water flow wont move or really silt them in. if anyone is in that area and you have a boat and sonar check out places. your help could solve this case. i myself found 2 trucks in a strip mine lake here in cape breton. i dove on 1 already. awp gave me the motivation to search and someday help families find loved ones. thank you guys for all you do. all those who donate, those who comment, those who are there helping out everyday. thanks to the editors, to jared, you all brought us together as a huge family!. love you guys. from your friend and supporter james rideout.
