In this episode of Adventures with Purpose, we are truly humbled in the experience of finding 22-year-old Ethan Kazmerzak, in Hampton, Iowa.

Ethan went missing on September 15, 2013, just north of his hometown late one night after a party at a local quarry.

Ethan tried calling his mother from his cell phone at 12:15 am where his phone was last pinged at the corner of 190th and Olive, just a few hundred yards from where he was last seen at a party that night.

Ethan nor his VW Jetta has been seen since...

We returned to Hampton, Iowa a month after our first search aired on YouTube on October 2, 2020, after receiving new information from one of our viewers.

After just 30 minutes on the water with sonar, we identified a car underwater.

Within the hour we dove on the car, identified the car and license plate as a match to Ethan's car.

The Sheriff and Local Police Chief were contacted, meeting us at the quarry.

Location where we found Ethan's car.
42.808763, -93.232556

The windows were up on the car and as such, we could not confirm if Ethan was inside the car underwater.

Because of agency protocol, the Sheriff had a police dive team arriver the next morning to document and recovery Ethan's car from underwater.

When the VW Jetta was removed from the water, it was confirmed that remains were in the back seat.

Ethan's parents were on the scene, but we respected their privacy and did not speak with them as this is a hard time for their family.

It has since been confirmed by the coroner that the remains were those of Ethan.

How did Ethan and his car end up in the quarry?

We are told that foul play is not believed.

Was this a late-night accident or something else?

Where’s the $100,000 REWARD??
===================
We would be honored to accept the $100,000 Reward so we can further our efforts in helping other families like Ethan's.

However, the $100,000 Reward which has been renewed annually every September at the anniversary of Ethan missing, and extended yearly beyond its original 2015 effective date, is suddenly no longer available from the anonymous donors claiming the reward expired in 2015 even though it has been confirmed by multiple News Stations as late as September 2020 that the reward was still in effect.

In full transparency, Ethan's family was kind in making a donation of their own. We appreciate their gratitude for our efforts in bringing Ethan home.

Donations and rewards are how we are able to fund our operations in helping families such as Ethan's.
===================

Hug the ones you love and reach out to those in need.

We are humbled and thankful for this opportunity and experience to bring answers for Ethan's family along with the entire community of Franklin County, Iowa.
