- She's saying that the 34, there's a pond on the side of the road with a six foot gap in the reeds. - We're only 18 miles from there. It's almost like I can't get
there fast enough right now. Just that feeling that you have. (tense music) You have a disturbance right there that there's no reason ice would be broken like that at all. I think I have something. - Robert and Loveda Proctor
went to Grand Island in January. They apparently got lost trying to get back home to Aurora. That was almost six weeks ago. - They're driving a
Chrysler Pacifica 2007. License plate, 10 30. He was a veteran for 21 years. He was a CB. He served in Korea and
he served in Vietnam. And Loveda and he were married
at 25 and 27 years old. On the date that they went missing, Robert was having some medical issues. He had been admitted to
the hospital at Veterans by his doctor and then was, actually, put in the ambulance and
brought to St. Francis Hospital in Great Island, Nebraska. Loveda has issues with
her eyesight at night. So, those are the things that, you know, start to really make us think
about what was going on. - You know, we have to
start building a profile. You know, where did they live? Where they lived up in Aurora. Where were, you know,
where did she pick him up? You know, she picked him up from Grand Island at the hospital, but then where was she last seen? And so, now we have the, you know, the flagpole incident, where
she backs into the flagpole. We have the, you know, just down the road, with the school at the roundabout, was the very last location. And so, that gives us a new ground zero that, here we are, 37
minutes away from their home. And so, I think, you know, to make the best use of our day one is we're dealing with
a new scenario for us. You know, we haven't gotten
into locations to where everything is now frozen. We have the 360 sonar that,
we can auger some holes, drop the 360 in there. But we also have a magnetometer as well. We have nothing in the way of a car. Yeah, I think that traversing that, on that side, is too far and too shallow. (suspenseful music) Rocks in the bottom. - [News] Robert and Loveda
Proctor were last seen this past Thursday, and their
sons and their families, along with several others, are searching tonight for the couple. And they're also asking for
the help of you, at home, to keep an eye out for
the couple and their car. - So let us know where you're
planning on starting tomorrow and we'll see if we can't meet you there. (tense music) (piano music) (uptempo music) - Email from the office just came in. Said, "I heard that
you're coming to Nebraska to search for the Proctor couple." "Please, please, please
check the Bosoman cabin next to the river." "I sent Lacey a message about it." "I hope you can help this family." - Okay, so that Bosoman cabin, we believe, is actually at the, right behind
the Motel Six on the river. Where it's the middle
fork of the Platte River. - Okay, I think we're near it. Let's go check this out right away. - Good morning. - Good morning. So, my dad was on the interstate, already passed Grand Island, and he pulled the Dukes of Hazard in the middle of the interstate. So, my mom ran in to
get coffee real quick. - Oh, I thought you were
gonna say he got pulled over. - No, he's lucky he didn't. But, yeah, they're over
there so they're ready to, almost ready to go. - Okay, yeah, we'll
just follow you over to where this cabin is at. And, yeah, let's put eyes on it, and double check it, and
then we'll go over our- - It is gated. So, we'll have to, I
think my dad has a contact he could maybe get ahold of to see if we could get information on, like who to speak to to get in or- - I mean, if it is been gated, I mean- What we're looking for is, we're just looking for
those easy accidents. What if, you know, your grandma
ended up falling asleep? What if she had a medical emergency? That's what we're looking at. So, I mean, if you're already
telling us a hundred percent no on that one, like there's
no way unless the gate is open, you're intentionally driving in. - I mean, I've looked at it several times. I mean, the ditch isn't, I
don't think it's super deep, but I wouldn't rule it out. I think we should still check it at least. - Okay, is the water open there? Underneath the- - I wanna say there's a fence around it. - Okay, yeah, let's wait for your dad. We'll just drive past it and then- - Get focused on the next piece. - Yeah, and then we'll, yeah,
and then we'll just break down the entire day of how
we're gonna grid this out and just start moving over on each one of these water
crossings throughout the day. - Okay, sounds good. - Okay, we'll follow you over. We're now back on 34. Part of our game plan in
the next two or three days, as far as our griding this out, is gonna be back on 34,
heading west from the school, and just visualize what
we're gonna see down there versus what she would normally see every time she drove from Grand Island. - It's very, very similar. It's very similar. - And at four in the morning, two, three, four in the morning, it's all gonna be black
and look even more similar. - Exactly, and he, Victor also talked about
the fact that they're the smokestacks and all
those different things. The farm, the large farm buildings. - All the silos. - This silos that he saw. Said that they would think that they were going close to Aurora because we have something
similar, on this side too, from Grand Island. So, that's sitting at the snow level. So, someone could have gotten in here, and, actually, that's what
popped the whole fence down. But it looks like they came in,
something came through here. But I don't see any marks, like where someone came off the road. - Yeah, I don't see
anything snapped in here. All right, so, yeah, let's go over, kind of what our game plan is today. Then kind of our, how we broke it down after talking to the game warden yesterday and really focusing on the rivers and how we want to grid
this now for the next, you know, for today and moving forward. One is, we definitely wanted
to hit this 34 anyway, heading back into Aurora, since, what if she did make it up north on 281 and then back, made the right over here. And so, where is she going to possibly go making this our new ground zero? And how are we going to
start searching this? We know that she kept moving this way. One of the things we really
wanna focus in on is 34 with did she happen to
notice any major sign coming west on 34, to
where, then, she noticed, alright, 80, "I know I
gotta get back to 80." "If I can get back there,
I know where I'm gonna be, and I can get my way back." With the game warden conversation, with the river being the only thing that was not frozen at the time, we want to drive each one
of these down to 34 across, and every paved road back up and over where there's any bridge crossing. So, this is kind of how we want to grid it throughout the day and just keep working our way down to Kearney. You know, maybe down, you know, another 10 miles past Kearney, see how far we get with this one today. And then, you know, are hopeful that we do find them somewhere here. - It seems like they've only gone 20 miles in eight hours. So she's stopping. They're eating, they're drinking, they're using the bathroom. They're stopping, asking for directions. They're in the wind. They're staying off the side of the road. She's almost waiting for the light. You know what I mean? Like, she's like, "I can't see." "I can't drive this way, he can't drive." "He's not capable of doing it." "I might as well just wait till morning and I'll just keep driving until I know where the heck I am." - If Grandpa tried to drive, he is like. - He's bad.
- He's flooring it. - Yeah, he drives fast and he's, and he drives like this. - Would she let him drive? - She has, but only once that I know of. And that was home from Grand Island, 'cause she couldn't see, and he was crossing the center line. The rumble strips was
continuously going off. And my mom said, "I am not
letting him drive a can." - Who do you think was driving going west? - My mom. - You think so? When they got back in the car
after you using the bathroom? - Yeah, I would believe my mom. My mom's better later at
night, as far as staying up. My mom usually stays up 'til two or three o'clock in the morning doing puzzles in the basement. My dad will go to bed,
and then she'll go to bed. She usually gets up around
10:00, 10:30, every morning. - Got it. - And she gets up, and gets coffee, and goes to the bathroom,
and watches her morning show that she's been watching for 50 years. "Days of Our Lives" or one
of them there, you know? And then she makes her bed. And that's kind of what gave me, you know, the thought that they weren't home, because their bed wasn't
made that morning at 10:30, and it's like, no, that's not them. They weren't here last night at six. They're not here at 10:30 in the morning. They're- Don't think they'd been home. And then, we started looking
and figuring things out, and we figured out, definitely, the last time they were
home was Wednesday around 3:30, or somewhere in there. - Okay. - But, I would say, if
Grandma did get desperate, I wouldn't put it past her, I mean, I wouldn't completely rule out that she would let Grandpa drive. - Let Grandpa drive, no. I wouldn't completely rule it out either. - That's where it would really be- - Dangerous?
- Yeah. - Especially if she's not- - She's exhausted? - Yeah, she is exhausting, yeah. She might. Or she might pull over and
say, "I gotta take a nap." My dad would say, "Well, I'll drive." - Well you know- - She might let him, I don't know. - I mean, when they take
a break for 20 minutes and he gets a Coke, I mean, that's what I would do, if I was gonna switch drivers, I'd tell my wife, "Hey, I, let's grab a drink, and
let's grab a coffee, and then I'll switch,
and I'll drive the rest." "I'll figure out how to get home." - But you looked at the footage, though, from the gas station there
when they had the Cokes? - Nope, they lost that footage. - They lost it the day before. - That was the one that,
they reviewed it on Sunday. And then, the next day, they
went to look at it again because then Paul Graham was gonna go and watch with them.
- Okay. - And it had already erased over because it was at the month. - Okay.
- Yeah. - But they indicated, that time, that your grandma stayed
in the driver's seat the entire time and she never got out? - No, she went inside. - She went inside as well. - They both went inside there. - I don't know who was driving when they left. - So, they only have
footage of them inside. They don't have footage of them outside when they reviewed it, do you know? - We don't know what they saw, but they said that they were,
are real sure it was them. - It's 1:39 in the morning. - Yeah, difficult to confuse two elderly people at 1:30 in the morning. - And, when we drove through there, there were only a few people in the parking lot at 1:30 in the morning. So, if there were one or two people that you would recognize and remember. - Right.
- Yeah. - All right, then, yeah,
let's do this then. Just, I'll take the lead then, and we'll just start covering these. And then, any place that we feel like we need to pull over and check. - I'm gonna walk up to the first one, because it's just,
'cause it's right there. - Yep, I'll pull up there to you. I'll meet you up there. (suspenseful music) - And it's not deep enough. That whole section, you can see the sand on the bottom. Yeah, you can see the
bottom all the way through. It's only like 34 inches deep at the
max, at the deepest point. There's no hole here that
actually could take a vehicle. If he's driving, it's a game changer. It's a total game changer
from the standpoint of speed, from everything. - Yeah. Which means, also, look at these bridges, also, for any bridge damage. Had he flipped on there as well. - He's tired. He's sick. You know, or he's not
feeling well, he's ill, and he's having issues,
you know, medically, and he's now taking the wheel, possibly, at 2:00 in the morning. At the Cenex, after they walk outta there, after taking a break, he gets in the driver's seat,
says, "No, I'm driving." "We haven't gotten home, I'm driving." That's a whole different game. - So see how closely these can be? So, no on this side. And you can see the bottom right here. (suspenseful music) - Water there. - Let's go hit two more.
- Okay. - And then, let's go hit 34.
- I agree. - All the way down. - Yeah, I think he was ripping. I think he got in the car, and just was like, "I'm going this way." - All speculation, that's all
we have to go on right now. Can we put ourselves in his shoes if he's the one behind the wheel now? (suspenseful music) - Did you guys see anything? - So, no, everything is just
like 18 inches, 20 inches deep. So, up there, in the Platte, I mean, the car's gonna be sticking out. But we do want to finish off, you know, the two more sections
between here and Kearney. Let's go ahead and do that one. - Okay. - And then, after that, I mean, we're making great time today. So then, we'll jump on to the 34 and then let's just run all of 34 and see what we have along that. - Sounds good. - Bill had something for you. He wanted to have you guys
run over and double check. - You want to check 32 mile lake? Because it actually
comes close to the road. It's right down here. - So we'll have you just double check that to see if there's any easy access. - Okay, sounds good. - All right, we'll see over there. - All right. - Was there an opening in
the pond itself at all? Got it, understood, I'll take a look. We'll take a look. No problem, thank you, bye. - Did you just break, the break we needed? - Huh? - Did you just get the break we needed? - I don't know, she said that she- Said that she was driving
down 34 to Minden and that- - I know right where it's at. We're not that far from there right now. - Yeah, that, well, we're
doing the Hartwell's first, then we're doing Mindon. But she's saying that the- At Mindon, and 34, there's a pond
on the side of the road with a six foot gap in the reeds. - Why don't we just go to there right now? - Because we're gonna stay on our track. - You have a hot tip
like that one, I cannot go search these other
ones where we've been dealing with 18 inch rivers. - Understood. - When you have a six foot gap. - Understood. - We're only 18 miles from there. - There's a pond at an intersection that goes straight or right. - So, from the roundabout,
this is gonna put us right at that 20 minute mark. Or 20 mile mile mark that
we were talking about. Yeah, it's almost like I can't get there fast enough right now. Just that feeling that you have. (suspenseful music) - So the reporter said
that she saw something, or a six foot gap in the trees, in the reeds that are all the way around, and there's one over there. You'd have to fly to
get through, into that. Yeah, there's no way they can get in here. - All right, you got a- Nothing there. This would be really obvious. - It would've to be on that side. - Yeah.
- On the dirt road. - Or some heavy, heavy damage. - This is the pond. This is the pond that's the turnoff. - All right, so we need to
head up towards Lowell then. Start the route. (somber music) - All right, so, no go off the right side. - Can't go off the right
'cause of the bridge. - Left side, too shallow. - It's mud. - Nothing's down. All right, well let's go and
meet up with Victor on 10 then. (GPS speaking) - There's tire tracks there. - How far do those go? - Jared, I'd more think here. - Huh? - I'd more think here if it was anywhere. - You have a disturbance right there. - Yeah. - I mean, look at the width of it. This is not somebody ice fishing here. - Put the boat in? - Yeah, I would say, just the boat and we'll just break it as we go out there with the sonar on it. I mean, I'm not gonna
say that we have, but we might have just
found your grandparents. There's no reason ice would
be broken like that at all. All right, let's put a boat in. (low tempo music) (ice breaking) Everything about this bill just says yes. - With the broken ice location, it's just- - Yeah, I mean, there's, nothing else is gonna break ice like this. We're 10 feet deep. Let me put 360 on here. Okay, that's a 30 foot swatch right there. We've got, the shore line is right there, so I can see everything
from here to the shoreline. It's not giving me a solid
car reading anywhere. I want to go out further. I'll let you hold onto that. (ice breaking) Come on, give me a car somewhere. (ice breaking) Yeah, I feel like all of this,
here, is recently frozen. I think I have something. I'm not sure. Let me go over here. Down imaging. I don't think it's gonna pick it up on that like I want it to. That's not gonna do it there. - Like it looks like the tracks go, right there, in the water. (low tempo music) - Okay, I'm not picking
up what I had before. But we're not dealing
with a newer car too. - We're gonna put a motor on and break it up, so that way, I can do a proper sight scan in here and feel really good about covering this. (boat engine running) Oh, this is so much better than
running it with the shovel. Okay. So, now, let's run 75 and 75. (low tempo music) Yeah, I keep getting a shadow over here. I'm just not convinced that we don't
have a car over here. (low tempo music) Okay, so, directly right in front of us. Right there. Potentially, we have
something of interest to us. So, it's gonna be 20 feet in front of us. (low tempo music) Right directly over the top right now. Just two feet wide that way. Very shiny. I wanna put my nose
right on that solid ice. That way, we're not moving around. - All right, I'm convinced
that this bottom one is a log, at this moment in time, 'cause it's about eight feet long. I'm gonna change this to 120 and cast underneath that ice as far as I can. See if I can pick up a vehicle. All right, let's just do
one more pass through there. Let's call this one good for now. Not clear, but good. Maybe we'll come back in a day or two, when it's a little less icy. I do want to double check
this area one more time through here as well, though. And then, the other thing, you know, as you start to scour this, the shoreline, I'm not gonna rule it
out, but I'm gonna say, we'll consider it and come back, is that there's a lot of
concrete that's over there. Sidewalk and curb. That could give a reading
that's bright and shiny. All right, let's call
that good for now then. We'll put a pin in it. We'll keep this one in mind. We'll come back if we need to. So, over on this entire section here, I'm a hundred percent confident. Over here what we had
a potential concern of was the thinking of it appeared to be body shape. However, what we have, is we have concrete that
will actually show up in the same gold type of a coloring. So, I'm not a hundred percent
convinced that we might have somebody that may have
swam out of a vehicle. I was able to cast 120 feet underneath and get a good reading. I didn't see anything
underneath the ice there. It's one of those things that, right now, let's put a pin in it,
let's come back, you know, in a few days when it's warmer
and more things have melted, but let's continue our search
for some other potential, you know, bodies of water that we might have a better chance
of finding 'em as well. But, over here, I'm a
hundred percent confident for everything I've covered over here. I don't feel as though a vehicle, it's more shallow on the other end. But where we were at, coming through here, it does get down to 30 feet deep. So, again, you know, we didn't see any tire
tracks except for right here. But, coming into the water, we didn't see anything that like went, solid into the water that said, "Hey, we have to stay on this one." - All this grass over here, right? There is a path a vehicle wide where it's all leaning that direction to where the motion is
standing straight up. Like, right through here. If you look at a lot of that grass, it's all pointing that direction. - Right. - And this grass is mostly
standing straight up. - Uh huh. Okay. (low tempo music) (auger whirring) I'm gonna stay close to the boat, so that way, if I fall in- Just like that. I found the soft spot. (auger drilling) (low tempo music) Oh, do I have a car right there? Yeah, I don't think it's a car. We'll see, though. (auger drilling) Okay, let's go further. Wish me luck. (auger drilling) (auger drilling) (auger drilling) (auger drilling) All right, we're good. - Okay, ready?
- Yeah. While you're logging
up there, I'm gonna go put some dry clothes on. And then, we'll head over to the 10 bridge. Oh, here's our bridge crossing. No go on any of that there. And then, this side, you would've ripped that fence out. You would've taken some trees out. So, there'd definitely be some- - Yeah, you can't get through there. - Yeah.
- You won't get through that. And there'd be all kinds of
fence that would be showing. - Yeah, and you have those tall stick and weeds over there too. - There's nothing showing that
anything's hit against this. - All right, well let's
head over to 10 then. - Soon as you get to Keystone Road, there's, on the left hand side, there's a big sand pit with
straight shots into the water. One large one. One large, you know, with multiple roads around it. You're actually going
over a long distance of the Platte River with a bridge
that goes for a long way. This is interesting,
with the double bridge. They could drive right in there. - See, you see the ripples there? Yeah, no, see, you can see the
ripples out there, the sand. So, you're not getting out there. Yeah, I mean, there's some
other water over there, but it's still frozen. - So we're actually going
down to see what we see, at this Y, where they would either take a right hand turn and
go where all these water, bodies of water are, to
get back on interstate 80. Or if they actually went 34, which goes right along the river. So, either one of 'em,
this is where you, I think, from the standpoint of
what we're looking at, these two locations where
they, where it Ys off, become more dangerous for them because they're going straight into water and they're going along water. 12:00 AM, it was at 26, 7
miles an hour, here at 12. And then dropped down by 6:00 AM, it was still 20 miles an hour. So, they had heavy winds in Kearney. - Almost like they would've
been following the wind, or staying in the heart of the wind. - Staying in the heart
of the wind, it seems. Just kept dealing with
it everywhere they went. Small stream with a
drainage swell on the left. And then, you come in, take
a left on Lakewood drive. That's it, right there is a boat ramp. - That's weird. Is it a house?
It's a house. Right, nothing broken there. - And you have another
one that goes straight into the water, again, on the next one. You know, and if she
decides, or he decides, or she decides, I'm not, you know, we cleared this area and I'm
not getting on the highway because he said that she
wouldn't take the highway. That 30 goes along and it has this edge right along the pond. All the way down, this whole section, like straddles the edge of these ponds. And then, again- - And I agree with you on 30 versus 80. - She doesn't want to go 40 miles an hour on the highway at four
o'clock in the morning. - Right. (suspenseful music) - Out of all of that
that we covered today, little disappointed that we
only had one body of water. Now, on that note, I'm
also happy that we had one body of water that I can now tell, you know, Lacey, and Victor, and Tammy, we've cleared that one. I feel really confident about
what I cleared on that one. - You know, we've been grid
searching this entire section. We started at Hastings and we've worked, you know, pretty much every single
main road that is blacktop up and back from interstate 80 back down to 34. We're working that 34
corridor all the way down. And then, we took 44 up into
Kearney, where, right now, we probably have about
30 or 35 bodies of water that are larger at the
sand and gravel locations that we're, you know, gonna have to clear just to make sure that,
if they came into Kearney, that this area is, that we're confident that it's clear. A lot of them are like
this one, here, which is, it's a big drop off, but
they're in spots that are just not normal for someone to drive into a back parking lot to get into. - Yeah. You know, and so, then we come back to the whole dementia, you know? With the, you know, she had a hard time even finding the hospital
that night to go pick him up. And then, you know, going from 6:00 PM to, you know, multiple times, she
would stop at gas stations. How do I get back to Aurora? You know, to stopping
off of people's houses, or running into flagpoles,
to the, you know, what really happens when
early onset dementia and full onset dementia just hits you. It really, we don't have anything that's really going to
make sense other than, at least we have five or six sightings that kind of started taking
them in the right direction. But then, what if something
else just completely snapped and they ended up east and
we're not even looking east. - Or south to Alma where that large pond is,
where the causeway is. You know, I think, we've also, we've cleared the Platte River. I mean we've seen that it's only six to 20 inches deep. - Yeah. - So, at every single bridge crossing, we've looked at every one of them, on, I'd say, 15 different crossings. And each one of 'em is clear because there's just not enough
depth of water there. So, I mean, I think at this point, the notion that they drove 20 minutes to 30
minutes and kept driving, and maybe stopping and driving, and trying to get to the
point where they had, could see that, you know, the
light came, of the morning, which doesn't come till about
6:30, 7:00 in the morning according to the family. You know, at that location in Holdrege, where there's a T off. 22 goes to the right,
34 stays to the left. Did they stay to the left
and stay on 34 thinking that this looks like we're
getting closer to home. That we're back in Grand Isle, and we're closer to Aurora. Or did they go to 22 back to,
you know, where we are now? - You know, and this is
where, you know, I do want to, many of you that have been with
us for quite a while, also, you know, that we just
pretty much stick to a, here's a five mile radius. Are they within that? That's where we normally will find them. But then, you know, we've been expanding to a 10 mile radius, and a 15 mile radius. Now, from Aurora, today,
we were over 60 miles out. As we work with what's
currently making sense to us, in our mind, as we try
to piece this together of something that does not make sense. So, we want to say
thank you for being here and supporting us along our journey. Part of that and the way
that we're able to do it is through donations. We do have a link down below. We do also sell merchandise
with window breakers in the event that you need
to escape from a vehicle. But the number one thing that
we ask of you, it's free. Simply subscribe and share these videos. And if you have not watched
episode number one of this, check it out in the description. - This is a search that we're
really dedicated to it, because we really wanna help
the family find some closure. And, you know, close
the chapter of this book that has been a nightmare for
them for the last 40 days. - Yeah, we, you know, it's
not just this family either. You know, we really put our heart into every single one of 'em. This one is just hitting me different. And, like I said, you know, if you watched the first episode, you watch this episode, you know, in tomorrow's episode, I think it's really gonna
hit you guys as well. So, we'll see you on tomorrow's search. (tense music) - They are so far from home. When did she figure it out
that she was totally lost? At 7:00 AM? - [News] Robert and Loveda Proctor were last seen this past
Thursday and their sons, and their families, along
with several others, are searching tonight for the couple. And they're also asking for
the help of you, at home, to keep an eye out for
the couple and their car. - Did they end up in the water, right here, that is not frozen. And it's gonna be right over. Straight behind you,
straight off the ramp. (suspenseful music)
