However, this was only till the crew from the famous youtube channel Adventures With Purpose pulled his car out of the Willamette River during a live stream of an environmental clean-up on 26 May last year.

As the group was pulling the car out of the water, the  Adventures With Purpose host Jared Leisek makes the grim discovery.

"Call the cops, call the cops, call the cops!" he shouts at the other volunteers.

"So this got real, real quick. We were actually doing a live as we were pulling the body out, we were showing a little bit of the car and there's a body inside of it."

He further shares: "We were actually doing a live stream at the time, when we were doing our normal environmental clean up, we were pulling the car out of the river and at that moment in time we realised there was actually a body inside of it.

"That body belonged to Timothy Edward Robinson, who actually went missing 12 years ago."

After the video clip was shared on the internet, family members of Mr. Edwards posted a heartfelt thank you for giving their family closure. 

Mr. Edward's niece, Jessica, wrote: "I've never watched your channel before, not until we got the call from detectives a few days ago asking if we knew a Timothy Robinson, and well, it's been 12 years since he became missing. This is my dad's brother, my uncle.

"I wanted to personally thank you for bringing closure to this family. It's been a long time and now he can finally be put to rest. Thank you and God bless."
