Our mission is to find the Martin Family and solve one of Oregon’s longest missing person cold cases.
The Martins’ disappearance spurred the largest missing persons search in Oregon history and the mystery has remained perplexingly unsolved to this day.
62-years later, Adventures With Purpose Dive Team takes on this Cold Case Mystery, searching the waters in the Columbia River between Oregon and Washinton in hopes of finding the Martin Family and their car in the river.

Multnomah County Sheriff’s Detective Walter E. Graven, who was always convinced the case was a homicide and worked tirelessly to prove it.
Graven, however, faced real resistance from his superiors to bring his findings to light.
Used as a trail left behind after his 1988 death to guide future researchers, Graven’s personal documents provide a fascinating insight into the question of what happened to the Martins—a path leading to abduction and murder, an intimate family secret, and civic corruption going all the way to the Kennedys in Washington, DC.

I want a AWP t shirt but the postage options are difficult to the UK XX
You and Scott seem to buzz off each other 😂
I hope one day the rest of the Martin family are recovered.. i enjoyed the banter and the serious stuff.. thanks guys..â¤â¤xx
When you were diving Jared, you made me chuckle big time lol.. you're so funny woooo xx
Awww 2 of the girls showed up? 😢xx
Jared, I saw Chaos divers looking for grandpa Pike and Robert Caufman. You started those searches what gives?
I would buy a shirt
I brought the book just got to the place where the two youngest girls bodies showed up.
This would certainly be your magnum opus. If anyone can solve this one, it's AWP.
Jared I'm addicted to ur channel i enjoy watching you keep up the good work
Bro no way i fingerboard too!!â¤â¤â¤ its a great hobby!!
I remember this it was on a special television show about them while now you are doing it that is so cool I appreciate you guys I really do
I love this episode so far
This was interesting especially as the two girls were found nearby. one of the images on Jared sonar, at 6.46 looked like it had multiple window holes, as the car had been down for so long could the metal have crusted over looking like rock after all that time. I think a redive on that spot would be worth another look.
Imagine you picked up a bottle and there was the car
It being the 58th anniversary of this, became very interested. Very happy to see Adventures With Purpose followed up and decided to "Get to the bottom" of this case.
I am in shape, as rond is a shape 🤫ðŸ˜
I wish you two would come back and start doing the videos again…. that long haired bearded guy with the dead eyes? there’s just no life behind those eyeballs at all.
It's been such a long time that I doubt that anything is really left or anything identifiable anyway. I just looked at a documentary about this family and they suspect the son of killing his family. In fact the son had four children and never talked about his family to his children. He never talked about their disappearance and he didn't collect the ashes of his two sisters after they were cremated. The ashes sat on the shelf of the crematorium or funeral home for 10 years, unclaimed by their brother. He moved to Hawaii with his family and his kids just don't want to talk to the media because they don't want to know. I'm sure they've had a lifelong suspicion of their father but they don't want their memories of him to be ruined. And also he didn't attend the funerals for his two sisters. He said he got mixed up on the dates so he didn't attend. He's dead now. He was able to live his life, get married and produce a family and even live on a beautiful island. His sister's didn't get that chance to grow up and have families. I didn't read the book so I don't know what else there is to it but the son looks highly suspicious
Awww, he collected all those bottles. That's a good friend right there
Wow…
Jared can sing like a crooner.
Sturgeon perhaps?
Has it ever come up that some of the missing may be in witness protection?
Holy cow! 1958 that's the year I was born.
I like the new guys with this show better. Jared kinds sounds corny
You guys keep me smiling even tho it is a serious business, the humor is awesome!! Like 2 little boys in men's bodies..don't change!!! Thanks sooo much for renewing my faith in the "GOOD GUYS" STILL EXIST!!
Scott is Hilarious
I lived in The Dalles
