  At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcwD9hj9vik&amp;t=1075">17:55</a>: &quot;13 years later, a search &amp; rescue guy became obsessed with the case.&quot;<br>He did a remarkable job and deserves to be recognized by name: Tom Mahood.

  I remember when this originally happened but I didn&apos;t know it took so long to find their remains. &nbsp;Thank you for honoring this family with your professionalism.

  I&apos;m an old desert rat who has spent many years exploring the desert regions of California and Nevada, including Death Valley. I&apos;m very familiar with the areas shown in the video. It&apos;s heartbreaking to imagine what these parents must have gone through and the horror of knowing both they and their children were doomed.

  They bring 2 little kids out in 124 degree heat and a vehicle not designed for off roading ? <br>It is very tragic but could’ve been avoided

  I never heard their story before and can only imagine the despair they must have felt in their final hours.

  In our 10 years stationed in Germany, we frequently heard German friends note how surprised they were by the size of the US. &nbsp;Some who&apos;d been stationed at Perrin AFB near Denison, Texas once thought it would be a good idea to drive to Winnipeg for a long weekend. &nbsp;As they approached Kansas City, they began to understand that it wasn&apos;t the same as driving from Frankfurt to Hamburg. &nbsp; This is such a sad story, but I suspect many Europeans share that impression.

  Being an old Arizona desert rat, people don&apos;t realize how unforgiving the deserts can be. Even now we have hikers in the Arizona desert that don&apos;t bring enough water and are ill prepared. Especially Euro&apos;s and out of state visitors. It usually never ends well. &nbsp;Great video Forrest and hopefully a warning.

  I worked in land surveying for 30+ years in Alberta Canada. I spent a lot of time in remote northern bush locations and remote southern prairie/badlands. I’ve been caught out without water a couple of times in 100° heat. If I had a choice I’d rather be lost in the woods than in the desert. I’ve driven into some scary locations but nothing quite so remote as these poor fools went down. If I were working on a project this remote, I’d take 2 vehicles and some serious survival gear!

  Sad story, unfortunately lots of people don&apos;t really understand how fragile a human being actually is once we are out of our comfort zone. Going out into the desert like that not realizing what danger they would face if that van broke down, and unfortunately that&apos;s exactly what happened. RIP.🙏

  years ago I was on the west side road in the early evening, came across a family with a flat tire, they where clueless as to how to change their tire. I changed it for them, showing the husband how it was done. (Big city people from London) they&apos;d have been stuck out there all night. Got them going and really nice family.

  Finally! After watching tons of other videos about the ‘Death Valley Germans’ FINALLY somebody shows us EXACTLY where they finally wound up. I’ve been watching tons of YouTube videos about the subject, racking my brain and scouring maps to find the final location of their bodies and the Forrest Haggerty Channel comes through and finally puts the mystery to rest. Thank you so much for your outstanding work. I discovered your channel last week and have been watching a bunch of your videos. I found Wonderhussy’s channel last April and one of the first videos I watched was about the Death Valley Germans. And she turned me onto the blog where that guy finally found them. And every video I watched after that never showed you on a map where it was, until you, Forrest. I really LOVE the way you show us on the map what you’re talking about. I’m a big fan of the map apps already so I can appreciate where you’re coming from. So I just wanted to give you a shout out, show you my love, and let you know I’ve subscribed to your channel, Like every video I see and let the world know what a great channel you got!
