This missing person documentary brings you alongside Adventures With Purpose's search on September 21st, 2021, following the clues John left behind, leading to the discovery of where John and his SUV had gone missing in the Missouri River 2-weeks earlier, before being found and recovered by AWP.
CASE DETAILS
September 21, 2021, AWP began our search for 72-year-old Veteran John Zarkowski who was last seen on Friday, September 3, 2021, at 4:30 a.m. departing his residence — possibly without his shoes, phone, or wallet.
AWP was in Omaha at 11:45 p.m. getting ready to work a missing person case the next morning when they received a call from Jacob Grubbs from Chaos Divers (http://bit.ly/SubChaosDivers) after a friend of John's family reached out asking for help from anyone to come in search of John who was believed to have driven his White 2018 Tahoe LTZ into the Missouri River.
We connected the next morning with the lead investigators, Tony Hemmer and Sgt.Doug Durkan from the CASS County Sheriff's Department along with members of John's family.
Around 5:30 p.m. we identified a target in the Missouri River outside of Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and around 7:45 p.m. we confirmed it was John's Chevy Tahoe, 22' underwater.
