We returned to Hampton, Iowa yesterday in search of Ethan Kazmerzak who has been missing for 7 years, after receiving new information. 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 is a match to Ethan’s car.

The Sheriff and Local Police Chief were contacted, meeting us on the scene.
We can confirm that human remains have been identified inside of the car.
It will not be until after a coroner’s report that we can confirm the remains found are Ethan’s.
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.
Location we found Ethan’s car.
