CASE DETAILS
Samantha came home from work in Russelville, Arkansas and told her mother that she, her 22-month-old daughter Courtney Holt, and a friend (Selena) were going to a concert in Little Rock, Arkansas, and would be back on September 12.
Turns out, there was no concert, and Selena was not going for the real story is that Samantha had a boyfriend in West Memphis that mom (Debbie) did not approve of.
Samantha dropped Dezarae off an hour earlier at her mother’s home, leaving in a blue 1989 Ford Tempo with 22-month-old Courtney Holt, never been heard from again.
We had few other details until meeting up with Selena, Debbie, and Dezarae on the morning of October 26th, 2021.
AWP then breaks down a search area looking at the most likely access points into the water near the last known routes and locations.
Jared and Doug begin their search off of Mill Creek Road, and send Jacob Grubbs and his team over to Pleasant View Road to search under 2 bridges.
In less than 60-minutes on the water using sonar, Jacob identified a vehicle underwater under the West Bridge on Pleasant View Road
Upon diving on the vehicle, it was confirmed to be a blue Ford Tempo.
The Pope Country Sheriff, Dive Team, Elmo’s Crane Service, and all others involved deserving recognition for their delicate handling and recovery of Courtney, Samantha, and her unborn baby.
We are humbled by the opportunity all of you have given us to help in the search for answers as to what happened to Samantha and her babies.
Hug the ones you love for you never know when it might be the last time you see them.

Prayers for the family
I admire everything you do for these people, but please do not call 911 for this. You can look up the non-emergency number for the police department wherever you are for this kind of thing. Your call to 911 to recover a missing person that has been missing for 23 years could be taking the chance to save someone’s life that is in an emergency situation.
This guys won’t miss , damn
may the souls rest in peace so sad about the children never got a chance to grow up
Heartbreaking…so sorry
Im not good with words.i very rarely write comments.these guys are heros.taking time helping strangers get closures.if i could give out a award these guys would get it.
good lord, AWP found the car and the bodies in under 48 hours, whereas the cops didnt even TRY. this is inexcusable, no family deserves to go through 23 years of pain when their loved ones’ remains were just miles away because of cops’ complete ignorance and laziness.
There’s a man Stephen Eimers who goes over how guardrails should be set and what to do after finding one damaged it’s great to echo this message on these safety measures and how to properly handle them. So glad they’re found.
Its really cool to see when LEOs aren’t pissy about everything, cause then you get to see all these experts coming together and coordinating to bring these people home.
Its always so fulfilling to see family members finding answers and peace in these videos. Another cold case solved!
My heart broke when they found out it was Samantha. Hopefully they can heal now.
Your work is incredible. <3
I just don’t understand how the police can investigate for sooo many years and these guys come in and do their job in a day and get results 🤦🏾♀️
you guys are amazing, you had helped so much
God bless you all for your hard work bringing this family peace.
So heartbreaking for the family but now they can start to heal and the wandering part is over with they know they have three Angels watching over them ❤❤ you guys are truly doing the best work that anybody can do for these families you guys are a blessing to these people that need your help remember that ❤❤
Thank you for helping!
love this from malaysia
Thank you for finding my auntie and cousins
God bless you guys for what you do for these families
🥲🥲🥲RIP
AOYPs❤❤❤
I just recently found your channel.
This video was so incredibly sad but I’m so glad you guys were able to give this family answers.
The west Memphis 3 may have been responsible for this!!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
So very sad, God be wit you, AOYP❤
the duality of the diver being just under the surface encountering a heart breaking scene and they support team sitting on top quietly waiting.
I amazed how fast you found it vs how long it has been taking law enforcement.
It might just be a case of Paradolia but at 34:54 is it just me or does there look to be a young child’s face?
21:43 Dude is NOT Ok.
You men are amazing. Your compassion is above reproach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad to see tragic accidents ended up into missing person case and get solved 23 years after. But its never too late for relatives to find closure with the help they got from Adventures with a purpose. Plus, technology has advanced through the years that would make similar cases resolved faster. What great work you guys have for all these families. Bless you.
a womans strength at these times is amazing. Daddy couldnt handle it but mama needed to be there. And that poor child. She finally knows for sure her mama didnt leave her just to leave
Y’all should be thanking bass fishermen for this technology. Without us this wouldn’t be possible and these people wouldn’t be found.
When she said she didn’t have much life left, that broke me😢
I pray their last moments were spent with thoughts of love and peace. The momma was just a baby herself. We need more organizations like this to help heal the heartaches like this out there. Truly amazing.
I don’t understand how she end up there? The bridge has high concrete walls. My heart breaks for the family.😢

Diver: You ok, sweetheart?
I don’t understand, did they think after almost 25yrs under water she was going to be alive?
Id want Chantell Ross to go missing
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication in finding my mom, sister, and baby. You have given me the chance to have peace and the answers I never thought I would have.
THIS IS DEF. THE TOUGHEST ONE IVE SEEN… ITS BECAUSE OF THE KIDS. JUST HEARTBREAKING!
Wow
You guys are Angels. Thank You.❤❤
I cant imagine both the heartache and closure this family felt all at the same time ❤
did they ever solve HOW they got into the water?
My entire body went weak once he mentioned he got the shoe, sock and I think bones. Laying next to my baby right now I couldn’t imagine the fear she felt for her and her baby. By far one of the scariest things that can happen in life. Just terrifying 🥺🥺
This was really emotional. I still cannot understand why no one investigated a broken guardrail.
Wow! Great work! Thanks! 💜🇦🇺
Sending love and healing to you all, may that beautiful lady and her babies finally rest in peace, I cannot imagine the loss you all feel, I lost one of my brothers sadly took his own life but still I cannot imagine the loss you feel, my heart goes out to you all, Samantha and her beautiful babies, rest in peace angels
