Reply to comment by endeavour3d in Truck belonging to Donald Messier - missing since ’06 - found in the Winooski River — Waterbury Roundabout by daughter_of_fortune

That's cool/crazy Adventures with Purpose was involved in this! I've been following them for quite a while. I haven't read the whole story, since all of these articles tend to be behind pay walls, but i think what they are doing is great. Law enforcement seem to have an issue, but if they help solve these cases, maybe they should back up and welcome the help that they obviously need.

I hope they come back to look for Brianna Maitland. For some reason her case really haunts me.

Wow. I have been watching them for awhile and assumed they would never come to Vermont, because I thought we likely have no one missing in that manner around here. It's sad that someone in our own community could be sitting missing in the river for that many years and all it took was one professional dive team with sonar to find him. If police had the right equipment and cared enough, he could have been found a long time ago.

I know! It was shocking and sad to learn how common it is. I'm glad they're doing this to help families.

Well we haven't found him. We do not know if he went into the water with the truck.
