foreign [Music] is so you could drive a car straight in and someone certainly has it's got like that rounded boot it's got a beautiful family that loved him and he's got Mum and Dad we can find his pink now that Dale's gone [Music] for families who have all but given up on finding their loved ones this team is a last hope [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] to a new phenomenon civilian divers cracking cold cases for free so we're in the Derwent River Valley and we are looking for Da

le Nicholson Dale Nicholson went missing uh December 10 2016 in a Ford Fairmont so it was an older car uh it most definitely will be sitting on its Wheels I think when we find it we don't know if Dale went to the Eastern Highlands or if he just went off the road in his own hometown oh [Music] don't hurt me [Music] so we came around the corner here and I just to get a picture and I look over the guardrail Dan and I see a vehicle right there foreign so this is one of two boat ramps into Lake Sincl

air I have to go a long long way to get any kind of depth the water is crystal clear crystal clear we can't get any access further down that way it's all fenced off so we'll go up to the other boat ramp and see what that looks like [Music] so we're at the second water entry spot very very shallow yeah you're gonna get stuck in the sand long before you get any kind of distance out [Music] you know you can definitely get to the water from here and you could come down that road and launch it throug

h there but if you see it is shallow so you would hit it would not be comfortable and then you would be seen so that this is not the spot you can get in on all sides and look multiple locations he can get in here it really comes down to like what do they do for work where did he fish where did he go to hang out we've we're going to find some cars I know that I have a feeling that we're going to find cars here okay both between here and Hobart yep just a matter if we find the right car yeah well

I know there's of the least tube further down that I've found already so well let's let's locate those that were uh get on our game [Music] [Applause] sticks and cheese 30 on the left 30 on the right 5.8 meters of water which is calculated let's say it's six times three for 18 feet of water right here small stuff on the bottom nothing large Ford Fairmont is a pretty good sized vehicle it should show itself pretty well if it's there I got a I got an object in the bottom that that's filled with de

bris Square in formation there's the object right there this is Timely okay [Music] [Music] Rocky bottom nothing on the left nothing on the right to speak of mostly just larger Boulders I mean what you expect because of the geology of this area large bouldery field large Boulder Edge line on the river he was a guy that had a routine every single morning you go get the paper you go get his breakfast sandwich in this coffee and then we come back to the house which we don't know much more about the

m um we just reached out to family and friends have a lot of information so all we really have is what's on the internet on the police report not much so we're we're going along the lines of an accident um just because of his habits um and his normal pattern was staying within this region that we are in right now uh yes the family thinks that he went up to the Highlands to go put himself in a lake why would you not just do it at home why would you drive all the way that way far to go and do some

thing of that nature when I first came to the Derwin River to search for Dale this boat ramp that we went in was one prime target the second target that I wanted to look at was behind the local swimming pool it was a car Park area and back at the time there were no bollards in front of the water so you could explain explain what a Bullard is because that's not English it's like a barrier some people from going in okay so you reversed Into the Water by accident no pull no Rock no barrier no barri

er at all there is now pole stopping cars from getting through back then can you look on the Google Earth map it wasn't there [Music] 30 to the left 30 to the right 2.9 meters enough to hide a vehicle 3.0 sticks on the bottom trees on the bottom on the left [Music] we're 2.8 meters deep for throwing up a shadow right here of something right here here it comes what do you think what do you think that is looks like a car to me too don't gonna be broken unless it's a big lump of um cone crate but w

hat's the line the lights one point yeah look at that looks like a car to me it's right where that drainage so you could drive a car straight in and someone certainly has it's got like that rounded boot is the right shape it is the right color and it is the right size vehicle and the right shaped front end so it's sitting on its Wheels it's in 2.7 meters of water it's 1.4 meters below the surface it's going in there and it has gone in from there that's the town swimming pool this is the access t

hat's the car right there registration d as in David E is an echo eight five three six 1993 blue Ford Fairmont [Music] [Music] everybody [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] staying right on the front of the vehicle so it tells me that he's working on a license plate of some sort or something on the front of the vehicle he's not moving very far from that location so [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] the 22nd of January 2000 23. we have located this vehicle with his remains inside I can confirm his rema

water somewhere yeah we thought the legs at you he didn't go far he left his wallet at home it didn't take any money he left everything he just drove out left his left his gate open his dog had his slippers on his moccasins yeah and he just went yeah so he just got up and he thought right this is it it's time he already made one he'd already tried a couple of years earlier but he was found and taken to the hospital in time yeah but yeah yeah but at least now we can go at home and know where he i

s location a thousand times if swam here they're fished here and and that's typically what happens um we go to where we are comfortable yeah um and so you know it it's good I know if this was an excellent if he the family said to think no but maybe he put his car in Reverse we just don't know we're not sure but you know the great the great thing is that there's closure and the family left this evening with a sense of relief and and that's what uh if you when you listen to the video of the family

talking and the sisters the four sisters who love their brother Dale talking what they talk about was that they have a sense of relief that they know where their brother is yeah and that he was been close to home the entire time and they were relieved that he was actually right here and not somewhere all by himself in the mountains yeah yeah it's very powerful stuff it is and you know we we have the platform now to share this and we will and with everyone's support we can continue to serve the
