(machine whirring) - [Amy Hall] God damn, you. - [News Reporter] Officials
have confirmed the body found in Jed Hall's car was
that of the missing teen. Despite the area being
searched multiple times before, AWP found the car within
20 minutes of searching. - Jed-
- Jed- - Jed-
- It's Jed. - Jed hall disappeared
nearly three years ago. - There was some indications
that he was depressed. - No lead, no nothing. - It's wonderful to know
that a lot of people care about him. - We crumbled those walls,
taking away all hope for a mother that her son is gonna drive in any moment. The mom, Amy, was not
ready for us to be here. (gentle music) (uplifting music) - Matthew Jedediah Hall, known
as Jed to all of his family and friends, vanished January 22nd, 2018. He had a height of
5'11", weighed 120 pounds and his eye and hair color
were both brown in color. He was last seen driving a gray
hatchback Nissan Versa 2009 with a license plate reading 8BEF732. January 22nd, 2018 at
2:30 AM, Jed was seen on security cameras at American
Heritage Charter School, his school just outside city limits. Jed broke a window to enter
the school, left a note, a necklace, and money
in a friend's locker, exited the school, then
left in his vehicle. It is not clear whether
Jed left from this point or if he returned home before vanishing. 6:51 AM, Jed's parents did
not see him getting ready for school, and when they checked on him, they found a note that he had left behind. Idaho Falls police officers
immediately began a search for the missing teen. Over the next few hours,
Idaho Falls Police Department and our agencies from the
surrounding area searched areas that Jed was familiar
with and or frequented including wooded areas
of neighboring counties. Idaho Falls Police Department
also conducted interviews with Jed's friends and family. Jed's cell phone was
also continuously pinged. However, the phone either died
or was turned off at 6:48 AM. Its last pinged location showed the phone 0.43 miles southeast of the Verizon tower. That area, included the nearby river, has been thoroughly searched
for Jed or his vehicle. There are also access
points for Interstate 15 and Highway 20 in that area. (car engine revving) - This is down like a cold beaten path like in the middle of the night. 3, 4:00, nobody down here. (gentle suspenseful music) - [Jared] Coming into
this four years later, not having a vehicle, not
knowing where Jed is at, our team specializes in
underwater so does search and recovery investigations,
and today might be the day that we find Jed right here in the river. - To bring you guys into what's
going on here this morning, we do have the "Dr. Phil" show
here with us who's covering our purpose while we're
covering Jed Hall's story. So there'll be a little
bit of change in the flow of what you guys are normally used to. So bear with us. It's an amazing thing that
they are here helping spread awareness to our purpose. - Appreciate you meeting up with me. Officially, I am Jared. I know we spoke just briefly on the phone. I come into these and it's difficult. It is difficult for me as it is for you. You're a mother of a,
right now, we don't know where Jed is at, and right
now, within your family, With you and Allen and
others within your family, you have this hopefulness
that he's still going to be driving in the driveway and- - Every single day.
- Every single day. And so that's what makes my
conversation so difficult with every family is because
they go through different stages of, are we at the
acceptance stage of now, we have to be looking
elsewhere, but then, and it's, there's no defined timeline for you. So I want you to know, what
you feel is completely natural. That some is like, they know
immediately within a month or two, some know after
four or five years. And so I guess kind of, just
kind of coming into this, let me kind of just go down
the path of what is that I know of the entire case and why
I've chosen to take this one on for you and your family. We have a YouTube series called
"Adventure With Purpose"- - Right.
- Where we focus on underwater sona search and recovery. We're divers, we identify missing persons who have been missing in their vehicle. We don't take on any cases that
are newer than three months old because the families
are not yet ready for that. A lot of times, your family
didn't reach out to us, but a family friend of
yours reached out to us more recently, but we've
known about Jed for a little over a year and a half now.
- Okay. - When we started doing
our own investigation into this case, we did
not take it on because of there's license plate
reader information down in California, which kind of
ties into your hopefulness right now of potentially... We'll let you tell your
side, that's how your story in a few minutes. So with that, we just kind of
stopped our investigations. It's like, all right. I was 16 once upon a time. Similar to a story of Jed
where I don't know his complete background, but I had
the desire to run away, to start a new life, to
go start my millions, that as a 16 year old, I
actually left the entire country, and this is back in the days
before Google and where can I go as a young man to just
start fresh, to start over, to get away from it
all, and I chose Grenada out of the encyclopedic
book at hand it's like, it was an English speaking country, sound like we did something
in the 80s with Reagan, seemed like they didn't hate Americans. And so that's how I
ended up down in Grenada. I actually made it outta the
U.S. back in the early 90s as a 16 year old. And so when I come into this
and I hear the story of Jed and we're doing our pre
investigation, we have a direction of travel, a potential
travel down into California. Does he make his way into
Mexico to start a new life for whatever reason? Does he make his way into
Canada to start a new life for any reason? But this also is not the early 90s. This is 2018 where now we have- - Have a passport to
get across the border. - Yeah, IDs, passports, and
everything, license plate readers galore everywhere. So we stopped. At that point and we said,
"Yes, we know about Jed. We put it on our big
map of potential cases." But we did not move forward
and we did not reach out to you and your family at that time. Now we fast forward, something must have happened in the news. Anytime we start getting a big onslaught, it's usually because there
was a reminder in the news of, and so our viewers with 15
million viewers a month started reaching out to us and said,
"Hey, do you know about Jed?" And I was like, "Yes, we're
very much aware of him." And we just kind of left at
that because of our previous research, but then a pastor
friend of yours reached out to us and he really started pushing hard. Like, "Can you please
look further into this? We do have the cell phone ping. Can you look further
into the license plate reader as well?" And so we did our own investigation. It took us a whole four
minutes with the license plate reader information down in
California, and it came back to, yes, it was the same tagged number, but it was a California plate. It was non-Idaho plate. It was registered to 68
Volkswagen Beetle who happened to live right around the
corner from this license plate reader that it picked up a couple times. So now, I come back into
this of I'm two years into what started as a hobby
of simply getting in the water to clean up the environment,
of finding cars, turning this into families that
started reaching out to us, viewers that started
reaching out to us said, "We see that you have this
ability to find and recover cars. There's lost loved one, their cars missing and they're still missing. Do you think you can step in and help?" And so the success of this
is, we now have 21 lost loved ones that we have brought
home in a two-year period, and some people say, "Well,
what's your success rate?" I say, "Our success rate is
a 100% that I'm gonna give you answers today one way
or another of whether Jed is in the area underwater." The success rate that
we have had is 15 to 18% of a finding a lost loved
one, and what we simply go off of we come into this with
the, where did he live? Where did he go to school
or where did he work? Where was he last seen? And do we have a cell phone ping? And within that five mile
radius has led to this 18%. Now, for the other 82%,
it's not a failure. It's still successful
and that you have answers as to keeping that hope alive
that he's going to drive in the driveway and or
once, maybe someday, we have to come to terms with the, maybe he did according to his note. But now, when I'm done here
today, I have to be so confident in my skills for what I've
done that I have to be able to look you in the eye and
shake Allen's hand into this and say, "I have cleared this 100%. There's no reason to
wonder about Jed being in the water here anymore." And so then we come back
to the investigations that have taken place
prior to our arrival today. In speaking with your local
detective and the sergeant, it sounds like, there is
a dive team in the area, rumors of vehicles being
down there, but nobody seems to know what kind of vehicles
or where they're at or, "Hey, there's a rumor
of an ice cream truck." - (laughs) Okay.
- Well, I think that if there really was an ice
cream truck down there, I mean, it would kind of probably
make the news and might be a, "Hey, whose ice cream truck was it?" And, "Hey, we found your truck." And I don't think that
story has broken here in Idaho Falls yet. And so as I was talking
to the detective is, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that I only trust myself. I only trust my team to be
able to look you in the eye and to give you that
answer that I did my job because we have found
lost loved ones in places that other dive teams and
other sonar teams have come in and they said that they've cleared. So that's why I'm here today for you and to give you those answers. - Okay, sounds good. - From there, if you'd
like to share your story and your heart, and I don't
want to go into your stories as to why you feel like
he's gonna come back in another 10 months,
that we're within a window that you and Allen are hopeful. Is that a story you'd like to share? - We've had a lot of different
thoughts of where he might have gone, what he might have done. Maybe he's joined some militia
or something like that. The latest theory that
we've come up with is maybe he's joined the French Foreign
Legion 'cause supposedly, his tag, his license plate
was tagged in Stockton, which is a port city, and
so maybe he caught a boat and he's gonna come back
after his five-year stint with the French Foreign
Legion speaking fluent French. So we've got about another year to go. - And I like that you still
have that optimism of, and I hope that 100%, I
hope that this is true because even if we don't find Jed today, and he is out there, we're
seen around the entire world, and if anything, half a million, a million viewers-
- Publicity is good. - Around the entire world will say, "All right, here's what Jed looks like. His mom misses him. Jed, you're not in trouble. Just come home, call your- To find a way to get ahold
of your mom, and let her know that you're okay and that you're alive." In that way, she can, you guys
can mend whatever happened and she's gonna help work you through. If there... I mean, I don't know if
he's in any trouble, really. I mean, it's been four years. You've broken into school,
but really there's nothing big that he's gonna be in
too much trouble for. - He's not in any trouble
that we are aware of unless he's done something
since he left here. - Yeah, so anyway, so
if you are out there Jed or if you happen to see Jed or know Jed, get ahold of your mom- - Yeah, I'm your mom, damn it. - Yeah, or the Idaho
Falls Police Department and let them know, give
them any tips that you have. Anything else that we can
answer for you and your feelings of us even coming in on this? I mean-
- I think it's great. - Okay.
- Publicity is good. The more people that
know that he's missing, the more likely somebody is to see him. - Okay, well, I'll do
everything I can for you today and we're gonna start here
at this local boat ramp, which was the reason for us
because it was the closest- - Yup, the ping included this. - Yup, and then my feeling
is if we have, we cleared this area, it sounds like
he was kind of moving north and I'm going off of the 2:30
in the morning at the school, a four-hour window to
the last cell phone ping, a lot of time to think
and contemplate if this is was his decision, that there's
no reason why he would've actually stayed, that he
does have the potential of going further north to
one of these other areas. - [Amy Hall] There's highway right there, there's another highway right there. He could go in any direction he wanted. - Or sat down to Stockton
and he jumped a boat. So yeah, all those
possibilities are out there. So, but anyway, I'm gonna work
on the my 18% success rate that brings me into this
five mile radius right now. - Okay, sounds good.
- All right, Amy, thank you very much. I'm gonna get in the water.
- Nice to meet you. Good luck.
- Thank you. - [Doug] How was he as
a child, his hobbies, and just who he was as a person? - Jed is a happy kid. I guess he's not a kid now 'cause he's 20. He curious, always wanted
to know as much as he could about everything. He was a good student. He would finish, the work,
the school he was at kind of let them do their own pace. And so he would finish what
he was, what he had to do, and then he would tutor
the other kids in his class and help them with the stuff. - And that was the American
Heritage Charter School? - Yes, at the American
Heritage Charter School, and he was just interested
in all kinds of things. We traveled a Fairmont, and
I remember spending days on the beach, going
through the tide pools, and looking at all the
critters, and then looking them up later to figure out
what was that that we saw and that sort of thing. He played soccer, he was
a good soccer player. Coach always loved to see him show up. He was a member of the Civil Air Patrol, which is an air force auxiliary,
and he enjoyed flying. They have a small plane
here and they were able to go up in that. He went to a summer camp
with them over in Boise at the air base over there. They got to fly in helicopters and things and he thought that was great. (giggles) Ever since he was little,
he had always been saying that he wanted to grow up to be a soldier. And so that was kind of
what we were headed for. He was taking college prep classes. He was planning to apply
to the Air Force Academy. My father is military air
force and he actually knows a member of the faculty there. And so we'd been in
recent contact with them. My parents had visited them
the fall before they came out for Christmas here, our
last Christmas altogether as a family. He was a good kid. He was helpful. He was working part-time
at a local restaurant here, Grandpa's Southern Bar-B-Q. Gotta say a plug for them
'cause they're wonderful. He'd been working with
them for ages and seemed to really enjoy the work. Just a well-rounded, good kid. - So Jed vanished January 22nd of 2018. Bring me into that
timeframe that he vanished. What, was everything normal? Was this completely unexpected totally? Or, I mean, bring me into what
was going on at the moment. Was he actively going to school every day? Was he in a specific activity? What was it like at that timeframe? - So we'd just been
finished Christmas break and he'd been back to school. It'd probably been a couple of weeks. Everything seemed to be completely normal. We very rarely fought or
disagreed about things. Like a typical teenager,
he'd grumble sometimes about, "Oh, I don't really wanna do
that chore," but he'd do it. There hadn't been any
fights in the family. No, like I said, no
disagreements, no anger. He didn't have any formal
girlfriends or anything like that. He knew a lot of girls
who he was friends with. So there was no drama with a girlfriend or anything like that. It seemed like everything
was absolutely normal. The only thing that was
different that one particular morning was that my husband
was very, was sick with the flu or something like that. And so he had slept in a
different part of the house than he normally did, but that was it. I mean, he was just in a different bedroom and he hadn't been as engaged
with us for the last couple of days because he hadn't felt
well so he'd been sleeping a lot, but I mean, that's
just normal part of life. And so we were completely
and totally blindsided, never had any inkling that
anything was happening, anything was going to happen. It was completely out of loop. - [Doug] And this is a
government software for search and rescue, and we set up
a five-mile radius here around Idaho Falls. This icon here representing
the cell phone ping. - Oh, okay.
- The last radius here. This boat ramp here is
that's exactly where we're at right now.
- Yeah. - [Doug] Now, the other points
of interest that we have on this map is a boat ramp
to the north, which is just a little bit outside of
our five-mile radius, a boat ramp to the south,
which is still in the five-mile radius, and then another one
here to the south, a little bit south of our five mile radius. That typically our five-mile
radius is what we go off of and when people are missing
and missing with their vehicle. Five mile radius is what's
most successful for us, and it, we usually end up
finding what we're looking for within that radius if
our case victim is there. This icon here represents the school. That's the Charter School there. Now, to make this complete,
we're lacking two things on this and that go with the story,
which would be the general area of the home address. We don't wanna put the exact,
but if you wanna put the, show me where Jed was staying at the time. - Between those two, - Between those two, so
let's just say right here. All right, and we have a
timeframe of, what do we think, four hours? We're not sure what happened
three to four hours? - Between 2:30 when he left
the school and 6:37-ish when the ping, the last ping was. - Yeah, it was like 6:51 or
something like that, yeah. So we have a four-hour
window are unaccounted for. Now, the cell phone last
pinged in this area here. Did he ditch his cell phone
here before he disappeared? - Could be.
- It's a very possibility. - Oh yeah.
- It's a very possibility. Now typically, when a cell phone dies, we have two types of shutdowns. We have a hard shutdown, which
represents going underwater and or hard crash, phone
breaking, and we have a standard shut down, the battery
died or somebody powered their phone down. Do you have any information
to the cell phone data that represents how the
phone was shut down? - Nope.
- All right, so we don't know if it was a hard shutdown
or a standard shutdown. - The police might know.
- Okay. - Because they got the
information about the ping. - Okay, well we have detectives here. That's a question that I have
on my investigative slate that it would help us if-
- Yeah, definitely. - 'Cause if it's a hard
crash, we know that cell phone experienced something
unusual when it was shut down and that's typical underwater
and or it was smashed, broken, and so forth. If it was shut down, we now know it was in a deceptive manner and
in a grand scheme of thing, that's a good thing because
we know in a deceptive manner, he's disappeared and that
leads us down to theory of he's out there somewhere and the search for Jed needs to continue. And are there any other
points of interest in the case that should be on here
that's gonna help us because knowing his travel
and knowing his points of interests are gonna help us. Is there any points here
locally that he liked to go to, that he liked to frequent? Was there a park or any
place of significance that would be sentiment
of emotional value to him? - He used to go to the Elks Lodge for the Civil Air Patrol meetings. - Where is that at on here? - It's that way. (laughs) - Let's see if we can look it up. - I'm sure you can. I'm sure the Elks Lodge
would be in on a map. - So we have the Elk Lodge
here off of East Elva. - Yeah, that's the right one.
- That's it? All right. So we'll add that to the
map and you said he liked, he had meetings here? - That was where his Civil
Air Patrol meetings were. - Okay.
- Thursday evening. - All right, so we had
the Elk's Lodge there. Any other places of significance
that he liked to go to? Was there hangout spot with friends? - I mean, he worked at
Grandpas Southern Bar-B-Q so he went there a lot.
- You said grandpa's? - Yep, Grandpa's Southern Bar-B-Q. It's on Broadway. - It's gonna be right
here off of West Broadway. - That's the one. - Nice, and we're gonna add
that to our search grid. - That's very regular. - All right, so we have
home address, we have school where he was that night, and
we know he entered the school and he was leaving something sentimental to a female friend of his. - So that's another
potential spot on the thing. We know that he was visiting that girl that he left the money
for and the necklace, and she worked at Reed's Dairy. - She worked at Reed's Dairy. - Yes.
- Okay. - And that will be within
that five-mile radius 'cause he would often
finish work and then- - And that's also on West Broadway? - Yes, and he would stop by
the dairy to visit with her before he came home. - And in regards to the money
that was left in the locker, do you know how much it was? - $1,000.
- $1,000, and what else was left
along with the $1,000? - A necklace that he had made. - A necklace he made, oh, awesome. That was very sweet of him. Was there any note or-
- Yeah, there was a note. - Okay, did we know what
that note said at all? - Yeah, Dr. Phil's got the... He had me read it. - Okay, all right, so
we have that already. - [Man] Can I jump in real quick? I just wanna ask you something. What is, they put down
that red marker there. What does that mean? - That means they have a car. - Thank you very much. I'm gonna get in the water.
- Nice to meet you. Good luck.
- Thank you. We usually come into this
when the families have already moved through that process
of, I do believe my lost loved one is underwater and so it's
even that much more sensitive for me to have these
conversations and that much more difficult to have this
conversation of I'm going to clear this for you in
hopes that we don't find him, and if we do find him, it
takes away all hopes for Amy and for Allen that Jed's gonna
be driving in the driveway. You heard her. I think he's gonna come driving
the driveway any minute now. And that's difficult to hear,
and that's what makes it even more difficult for me
to be out here right now because it's almost as though I'm like, "I don't believe you at all
and that's why I'm here," and I don't like that feeling. I really do dislike being
here today, and you might say, "Jared, why are you there?" In some small ways like,
well, what if Jed is here and I can give his mom
answers sooner than later, but I don't wanna take that
hope away from her either. I don't know how to explain it. It's hard. Yeah, this water is not deep
out here at all right now. Like it's only six feet deep. We did have that shelf up
by the bridge as the channel comes down. It got down to 25, 30 feet. Oh, oh, oh oh hold on. What do we got it right here? It's only six feet of water. It's only a few inches under the water. (boat engine rumbling) Right there, what is that? No freaking way. You see that? Give me the camera. Right there. (suspenseful music) (Jared breathes deeply) Right side up on its wheels. Just put a magnet on it right
here on the, it is right here. I do not like this at all
because if this is his, like I just took away all
hope from her for what it is we just got done talking about,
Josh, and I don't like that. God, there it is right there. 14 feet of water right
there, right off that cup. Right here. It's right underneath
this far out for sure. Gosh, it's not what I wanted, Josh. It's what I wanted, but I didn't want it. I just want it to be a rock. We're on it, crap. I mean, it's a solid lock. Let me have a buoy. I wanna look that car up. Hatchback, I have a hatchback. - [Man] That's what you're
seeing on your screen? - Yes. Hatchback car, small. (boat engine rumbling) - [Man] So what, that
positioning right there, does that have any significance? - Yes, that has a, where
that buoy is positioned is that means the vehicle that
entered there came directly off this boat ramp, floated
down, and then rested right there on the bottom. It's classic. That's about, I would
say, 75 yards or so here from the boat ramp. So we have a very small
vehicle, light in weight, and for the vehicle, a large cabin space. Yes, of Nissan Versa is not big. However, the cabin space
compared to the size and weight of the vehicle
is a lot of air inside of the vehicle, which makes
it buoyant, which is why it will float so far. That combined with the
air in the tires will, the vehicles will float sometimes
two up to 10 minutes long. - [Man] Okay. - Obviously, if worst case scenario, this is what we're looking
for, so then it's be gonna become a crime scene. The authority and
detectives are here already. This is not what we're looking
for, we're gonna dive it, we're gonna move on. we'll clear it, but we'll continue our search. We're gonna make the most
out of daylight as we can. - Okay.
- This is one of those situations whereas
I'm out on the water, I'm having conversations with Josh of the, I don't want to take away your hopefulness that he's gonna be driving up the driveway in the same way that right
now, I don't want to say that I have found your vehicle
and that I found your son. What I'm going to say right
now is I have found a smaller vehicle similar in shape to
the one that Jed left in. We do not, until we put eyes
on it, and this is where it becomes really difficult for
me because of the, do we want it to be, do we not want it to be? As Doug goes down, we're
all up here on shore holding our breath until he
comes up and he gives us. So for the next hour is
intense for all of us with a slew of emotions,
and it's gonna take Doug about 20, 25 minutes to get suited up. Hang out on shore, hang out
with your husband right now. While Doug is suiting
up, I'm going to continue to scan additional 'cause
we're not hanging our hat on. There's so much that can still happen so- - Okay.
- All right, Amy, thank you. That's my live. Only eight feet deep.
- From side. - No, it's on its wheels, look. Looks like it's been
smashed like something's ran over the top of it from time
to time 'cause it's so shallow at times in here. - [Amy Hall] Jed is a happy kid. He was a good student. He was a good kid. He was helpful. It was completely out of the loop. (upbeat suspenseful music) - [Man] Remember the plate number? Had an E, F in it. - Yup. - We've got Doug is able
to stand directly on top of the vehicle right now. It's been crushed down? It's been smashed? So boats, have boats have
ran over this vehicle multiple times so it's been
hit over the last four years, crushing the top of it,
similar to what we did, what we saw with the Nadine
Moses up in Marine City, Michigan, where a big,
big barge just came right over the top of it. And we've seen it with other cars as well in shallow bodies of water. - Okay, he's got the rope
and he's gonna go down. - So Doug popping down just
now, it's only gonna take him 30 seconds to identify if
this is our vehicle or not, but what he's going to do
is he's gonna stay down probably two to three minutes at least. He's heading around the vehicle
right now working to see if we can get a plate. A plate is gonna be a solid 100% yes, this is the vehicle we're looking
for, and he'll do his best to take that off and bring
it up for law enforcement for verification. (water burbling) I did some additional scanning
all the way to the end of the island and out. There are zero cars in this river here. - [Doug] License plate reads 8BEF732. Oh my God, we just found Jed's vehicle. I'm going to begin my
assessment of the vehicle. Back window is open, silted in. I'm coming around the driver's side. Driver's side and passenger's
side rear window is intact. Passenger's side, front window is intact. - If this was not our vehicle, he would not be down there
as long as he is down there. He would've already popped up to be like, "Nope, this is what it
is," and we can move on. (water burbling) - [Doug] I just found a gun holster. I'm gonna begin my ascent topside. (suspenseful music) - Well, he doesn't look like
he's got a license plate in his hand. Oh, he does have a license plate. I think that was his license plate. (water burbling) What was that license plate again? Yep, that's the one. That's his license plate. It's the same one as the matches the- - So at this point, - See-
- So it is a Nissan Versa. - EF732.
- It's a Nissan Versa. At this point, this is a crime scene. The authorities are gonna
take possession of the area. They'll do an assessment as
far as recovery is concerned, and obviously, even regards
to the circumstances that was known, worst case
scenario has to be theorized to protect the integrity of
the evidence in the vehicle. So until the medical examiner- - So you would find the body in there. - Correct. It's his vehicle. I did my assessment of the vehicle. Front windshield is out,
rear windshield is out, front bumper's missing,
but no heavy damage. It's just current over
the years, so forth. I did try my best to make identification. The entire vehicle was silted in. I went in as far as I could
through the front windshield. I did place my hands on a shoe. There was nothing in the shoe. However, it is silted in. It's like cement in a sense. There was a bag on the surface. I was able to remove a pistol
holster that was empty out of the bag. I tucked it back in the
bag and pushed it bag back into the vehicle. So the front end of the
vehicle is faced this way, really easy to recover. All the wheels are accessible
and that's pretty much where we need to be.
- Okay. - So we would recommend
a rotator at this point for pulling power.
- Yeah, we'll get Hendrickson's out. That's who we trust when we're in the mud. - And then just keep it, make
sure that we're not lifting it up and don't make stuff out the back. We need to keep it right on
the bank and just bring it up with the power and just
lift it up enough just to bring it up and out. - It is very critical
that nothing go wrong. If anything goes wrong in this recovery, you run the risk of
losing all of the contents of the vehicle. So I will rig each side
that where we pick it up, nice and even, set it over
here, and then your medical examiner do the assessment of
the evidence in the vehicle on the land, but because
those two windows are open, it's critical that nothing goes wrong. - As we continue to watch
Amy throughout the day, the still not wanting to
believe, and I'm 100% support her in not wanting to believe
that his father was mil, not military, but was law
enforcement, that with Jed, has a bug out plan. Is this a red herring? Is this part of his bug out plan? As we continue to find
more and more evidence, that bug out plan and those
theories become less and less. We now have a tennis shoe in the car. We now have the ammo bag in the car. We now have the holster in
the car, which now leads us to believe that this
really is the location in which Jedediah ended up. - 16 Years old. That's heavy. As a young man, he's still a baby in life, and if indeed there are
human remains in this car, it's just tragic as it gets
regardless of the circumstances. Just 16 years old. - It continues to be a tough one for me because the family did not call us in. They've not yet accepted that Jed needs to be found regardless of where he is at. The family is much different
than we have ever worked with before and right now, emotionally, working with a family,
I continue to say is the most difficult that
I've ever worked on for that reason as as a parent, so- - You know, when you lose someone you love and you don't have answers,
in order to move forward, you have to put up walls to
exist, and fortunately for us, we're able to travel the country
and provide those answers to nightmares and it's never closer. It's never closer. You never get over
losing someone you love, but having the answers is gonna
allow Allen and to just move forward and tear those walls
down and know what happened. It's a lot mentally and emotionally, It's just, it's unfortunate
set of circumstances that they're gonna need moving
forward with those answers. We'll bring it right up
the hillside right here, and what we'll need to do is
we'll need to obviously shut down the entire area that way
nobody's coming in or out. I'm sure a media will be here soon so... (gentle music) - [Jared] So I know this is
it, what we were hoping for. It's not, I know we're here
to do this, but it's not, as we were discussing, it's
not what we were hoping for. - [Amy Hall] This isn't the happy outcome that I was hoping for. - [Jared] No, no. - [Amy Hall] But it isn't
necessarily the horrendous outcome that it might be. We don't know. - And in the end, I hope that
you have your happy outcome. I hope that Jed is- - Somewhere else that he
ditched the car and ran. - Yes, yes, that this was
just part of his red herring as everybody keeps saying that. We have all these little red herrings so- - Yeah, we had a lot of red
herrings at the beginning where he has gone off to the mountains and that sort of thing. - And I hope that this
is just another one. - Yep. - All right, we'll
continue to do what we can. - Okay, thank you. - Yeah, one step at a time. (gentle music) - So we have Hendrickson's
record service here. They operate out of Idaho, Utah, Wyoming. They have over a hundred
trucks, rotator, 60 ton, three stage, gear end. This is the most ideal piece of equipment that it's gonna take to do this
as efficiently as possible. That's got a three stage
boom, got a total of about 40, 41 feet of boom out. I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna
take these soft shackles right here down and rig
the front of the vehicle. We're gonna pull it up nice and slow, and then we'll rotate it over
right into this grassy area right on the other side of the rotator. (machine whirring) - Everything. (water burbling) - So I don't know what's
going on 'cause I feel like that's the back of the car
unless the buoy just has some additional line in it now
and we kind of moved it off or something, I'm not sure. Unless he's just trying
to fill it out some more or to see if there's any remains and make sure we're not
gonna lose anything. He's just doing an additional
assessment under there. (water burbling) - [Man] Stay right here. I'm gonna come back up for that. - [Man] Copy. (water burbling) - Give me that. (water burbling) - So we need to clear this area. We're pulling it in right through here. (somber music) - So at this moment in time,
I believe that Doug's happy with his hook points. You've got the toe guy
that has the wireless cable controller and then Doug will
hang out up there next to him and just kind of watch and
make sure that everything goes as planned, and then the next,
probably four, five minutes, we should see the car begin
to surface right here. (machine whirring) - We have the remains
inside of the vehicle. - Doug came up and he
told me there are remains inside there.
- Damn it. - So I mean, at this point, obviously, we're gonna assume the worst. I just wanted to warn you guys
'cause they're gonna kinda drag it-
- You're gonna put it right there, yeah. - So you know, that's, so- - Okay.
- I'm sorry. Well, not the closure I think
we were looking for, really. - No.
- Not really, not really. Very, very, very unexpected. Very unexpected. - [Amy Hall] So we're still
not gonna get any answers why. (somber music) (machine whirring) - [Doug] So the first
remains are gonna be able to identify right on the back. You got some clothing. - Okay.
- They're in the clothing, still dressed. - Okay.
- There's- - So you did find, you
did see some of his- - [Doug] Oh yeah, yeah. I did identify him. - Okay, I didn't know if
there had been anything, but you guys found him.
- Yeah. (men conversing faintly) - [Amy Hall] God damn, you. (sniffs) Thank you, I think. - [Doug] I'm sorry. - [Allen Hall] No, you
did your job and that side of what's closed up and it's
not the ending we wanted, but it's an ending, right? So more than- - It's answers is what it is. - [Allen Hall] Is what it is, exactly. - Do you do hugs?
- Yes. - Thank you.
- You're welcome. - Thank you. Thank you. - [Jared] I'm sorry. - [Amy Hall] Thank you. - [Jared] You're welcome. - Had so much to live for. - [News Reporter] The car
16-year old Jed hall was last seen driving was found in the
Snake River in Idaho Falls Sunday morning. Inside, investigators found human remains. - And continuing coverage
now, it is now confirmed that the body found in
Jed Hall's car is indeed the missing Idaho Falls teen. - [News Reporter] Officials
have confirmed the body found in Jed Hall's car was
that of the missing teen. Despite the area being
searched multiple times before, AWP found the car within
20 minutes of searching. (men conversing faintly) (somber music) (truck beeping) - Just needs to... (metal clanking) - [Amy Hall] Well, I think
I have a new worst day. It was awful. It's kind of strange, in some
ways, it's a little better just because we know it's not all those- - [Allen Hall] What if's.
- Yeah. (sniffs) (gentle music)
