Ralph had been missing since May 16, 2021, suffering from dementia, and had not had his memory or heart medication since he left his home.

CASE DETAILS
Former mayor of Cornelius Ralph Brown missing since May 16, suffers from dementia and had not had his memory or heart medication since he left his Cornelius, Oregon.
His daughter, Laurie Saunders, said during a news conference that she spoke with her father the night he went missing shortly after 9pm and that he wasn’t sure exactly where he was.
He told her he was “literally in the bushes,†and that he might be near a golf course, but couldn’t give her more specific details. He also asked if people were out looking for him.
She told him to wait for a call from his son, who was going to go out and find him, but Brown didn’t answer the phone after that, and nobody has been able to find him, even though hundreds of people out there helping with the search.
Brown is 76 years old, about 5-foot-10, with white hair and blue eyes. He’s also missing the tip of his index finger.
His car is a dark blue, 2014 Nissan Sentra with Oregon plates.
There had been a few sightings reported, but none were substantiated, said Daryle Brown, Ralph Brown’s son.
Daryle said his parents were in their home on May 16 when Brown stood up and said he was going to his “other house.â€
Ralph has early-onset Alzheimer’s symptoms, which leads to confusion. He no longer has a driver’s license and has not driven a car in more than a year, Daryle said.
He drove away from the home in the 600 block of South 12th Avenue in Cornelius, Oregon.
There had been no location pings on his phone after 10:25pm that evening, and no communication from Brown in the time since he’s been missing.
This video/documentary shares with you the final search for Ralph and what it took to bring him home.

This makes me so emotional. My dad has Alzheimer’s and this could have easily been him. I am so thankful for the group of men that brought this man home. I will always pray for you guys.
Did the family keep the bunny?
You guys are so amazing I’m new to your channel and I just love you guys if you have a suggestion or a question I guess is there anyway when you edit your videos and you’re looking on your screen like when you say there it is there it is you see the tire If you anyway to put arrows on your screen so we know what exactly you were looking at
So happy there is closure of sorts and the bunny had to be a sign. Adventures with Purpose are awesome
This was almost 8 months ago? Love your videos by the way!
My ancestors said that if someone died in water … if you let the dead man or woman pillow float it will just stop where ever he/she is inside the water
My â¤ï¸ watching how upset Doug was when he figured out he found Mr. Brown this time. What a hero. Praying for the family of the loved ones they find. I can't imagine how people live not knowing where their loved ones are. You are all heroes in my book. â¤ï¸
Jared, you have a real talent. This is the first time I have commented on your channel but I have been following you a long time. I have seen your transformation and you should be proud of yourself. Whatever you have been through in life, God has put you on the proper path now. Love you, brother.
Should of used a barge to put tow truck on
There are always signs….from the ones who have passed, because they want to rest, so to rest their families needs to have closure, when we greive for our lost family we keep them here….it's beautiful they are finding the long lost…I feel too this opens a can of worms..with the missing I never thought of cars in water …and there seems to be a lot.
THANK YOU you guys are sent by GOD!! BLESS YOU for ALL your HARD WORK !! You are TRULY Appreciated!
Please give yourself a break.It is obvious you did your best. I am sure the family will
appreciate you not giving up.
Jared, what you all do is so important, but you are all doing your absolute best every day. When you clear a location, you are clearing it to the best of your ability on that day. Like Doug said, you're listening to your instincts. Jared, you kept coming back here. You kept thinking about Ralph. Please don't let this shake your confidence in what you've done. You didn't give up. You could have just ignored those instincts, those whispers, but you didn't. That is what is important. You have been learning every time you go out on the water. You are awesome and appreciated, all of the AWP team.
This one had me sobbing. The perseverance of the team to not let this case go unsolved was really inspiring.
Jared & Doug – May the Lord bless you & your wonderful team… There are not enough words to thank you for what you are doing for these missing people & their families â¤ï¸ You are the true definition of heroes.. May the good Lord protect you always ðŸ™
15:57 can you help me confirm I see a wheel here at 24ft.8 mark
I'm from Tennessee and. National Guardsman and after going to La after Katrina, I realized how big and heavy vehicles can be washed into small, seemingly impossible areas due to a small amount of water!
RIP Ralph. May you and your family have peace. Blessings to all that helped bring him home to his family.
new fan. thank you guys for the amazing and important work you do. Just started watching your guys' videos today and I am hooked and learning a lot from you guys. Just wanted to point out, besides the stuffed bunny, another meaningful symbol/sign was also the only man fishing on the pier in one of the first videos of your search for Ralph – he was fishing right where you guys found the car too right ? I dont believe in that type of thing, but after seeing the videos, it almost makes me want to.
Aw poor Jared, you found this man for his family.
Like you said, your learning every case, you could have moved on but your gut brought you to this man.
I tried to watch this when it first came out but felt upset that you reacted to how bad you felt , I put it off.
You guys are compassionate, caring, kind and helping many many broken families.
You put yourselves out there and we the viewers, respect everything you all do.
Ralph is home, his family have him back .
RIP sir ,awp never gave up on finding you and they did
What was crazy about the balloons, she was on her way to her sons birthday party and had his present in the car too.
WE COULD SEE YOU DETERMINED THE CAR WAS THERE IN THAT SPOT,GOOD JOB AND TRUSTING YOUR INSTRUMENTS AND DETERMINATION,NOT BEING SWAYED..EXCELLENT
FAMILY FIRST ,PLUS POLICE MIGHT TELL YOU TO GET OUT OF THEIR INVESTIGATION, THEN THEY MAY TAKE DAYS TO FIND CAR AGAIN…
ANOTHER GREAT JOB MEN. AND THAT YOU CALLED FAMILY FIRST
..CALLING THE COPS FIRST MAY NOT WANT YOU TO NOTIFY FAMILY UNTIL THEY HAVE HAD THEIR INVESTIGATIONS……????
😪😔â¤ï¸â¤ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ™ŒðŸ™Œ Thank you AWP
Once again amazing work, I’m so thankful for your crew, you seem to bring the best out of everyone. Happy to see Ralph has been brought home and his family has answers.
I cried and cried , actually crying now. It was an honor to watch you pull Ralph out of there. I will watch and like and comment on everyone of your videos. thank you so much for what you.
This was incredibly difficult. Amazing. Those strong thoughts Jared had over that area where he just couldn’t let it go? That just tells me our brains pick up more than we can see and hear except we don’t know what it is. Im really glad you listened to that. Awesome job you all.
Hello and thanks for sharing. Just a simple recommendation… for the tarps on the cars use heavy magnets to hold them in place so that persons don’t have to be in harms way holding the in place??? Hope that may help and keep up the good work. God bless
I have even more respect for you than I did before. God bless your heart. You are a good man who isn't perfect. But, you give it everything you have. God bless all of you!
what is wrong with Allen's eyes? looks link someone punched him???
can't see the screen, too much reflection
@28:35 you got your newer case with Kiely Rodney !!!!!
You all are so amazing!! Thank you for everything you do!! May God bless you!!
Hey you all can only do your best ..nobody asked more from you..no blame games..not here all you Cando is your best which you do..you all do great job..thanks for all you do ..
I just really admire the humble humility and selflessness these lads display on every massively important search. Top notch real life heroes!!!
Can I just say that Doug is my latest pin up. Don’t worry, I live in England and I’m old. Good on you boys, you’re super stars.
