Another article about Mrr. Brown being found, with more focus on AWP, the group who was able to find Mr. Brown's vehicle in the river.

I am glad they were able to give yet another family closure in the disappearance of their loved one. Truly a remarkable gift this rescue group has, to be able to help so many families. Rest in peace, Mr. Brown.
