What's good everybody? Welcome back to Body Cam Vibes. Back with another body cam video we're going to react and discuss to today. Shout out to EWU Body Cam for this video. We're not going to waste any time. Let's just jump right into it. Always remember united we stand divided we fall. report is based on official police records released today and most of the footage has never been seen before until now. On February 23rd, 2026, a woman in Putnam County, Florida calls the Sheriff's Department unknowingly setting the stage for an extremely unusual multi-agency operation. Putnam County Sheriff's Office 1451 911 Yes, ma'am. I wanted to report a car that's been abandoned on our road. What's the address? Um it's just the beginning of Korean Church Road in Melrose. What kind of car is it? It's a white Ford Fusion. Okay, I will have a deputy out there. Thank you. The car has been found near a Vulcan Materials gravel and sand excavation facility. The responding deputy meets with the company manager upon realizing he already had an encounter with the vehicle's owner 3 years ago. What's going on, brother? All right. >> There's some riff raff running around these days. I'll tell you this guy this guy last time dude it was like 2023 I think it was it was when it was. >> I remember hearing about it. Yeah. So I remember we had he kept going in kept going in we finally got up in there and got him caught. Court records show that Andrew Giddens, the registered owner of the Fusion, was arrested for criminal mischief and trespassing at another Vulcan Materials processing facility in 2023. Right. It was weird, man. He had he had chains and weights and just like are you like killing somebody and burying them back here? Like what are you doing? At the time, Andrew pled no contest and was sentenced to 12 months probation and ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution. It's beginning to look like that wasn't enough of a deterrent. But then I got to thinking like on the way back to towards town I was like wait a minute there's sand. See the sand? Oh, yeah. So he's definitely Oh, yeah. >> same old MO you know. He just showed me the blood on the seat like that's that's our tailing blood like he's been a walking right there somewhere. It's that wet and silky type. >> Yeah. That dude was weird. What did he say? But he had like chains he had some kettle bells. That's what I remember he was telling I I guess the story the same thing he was saying was I guess he said he was filming YouTube videos. >> Yeah. Yeah, he said He was like workout videos and Hey, Sarge. I want to roll over there. I want to check that fence line. I want to see if he cut if he cut A barbed wire fence surrounds the property as much for the public safety as the company's. If he hits that tailing blood over there like he's done for. He ain't coming out of it. Uh he was he was around water last time. Uh I kind of looks like it's been squished down a little bit. Yeah. What are you doing? Yeah. Yeah, movement right. So the way the grass is folded down right there. Out here. It's clear sky we can fly that chopper. Damn right. That's what I'm talking about. But an aerial search of the property finds no sign of Andrew and soon the Sheriff's Office learns that his disappearance has stretched on for days. Andrew's father tells them he hasn't seen his son since February 14th, a week earlier, saying it was highly unusual for his son to be out of contact for that long. Andrew is entered as a missing person but it's not until 2 days later that the Vulcan Materials manager calls 911 with an astonishing update. What's going on? Um what you guys have a missing person. Okay. Andrew Andrew something I can't remember his name but they've been looking for him. He's on site right here. He's still he's alive. He's down in the mud. Okay, is he trapped in like quicksand possibly? No, he's down he's down in the mud at our at our sand plant. What? Vulcan sand plant? Yes, sir. Is he stuck in there? Yeah, he's stuck in the mud. Is he responding to you? Yes. He's looking at me. He talks. Okay. Can you ask him if he's going to need rescue? Uh yeah, he's going to need somebody. Are you going to need rescue? Yes. Ask him what part what what's his pain pain at? Man, he's been >> serious? The man's stuck in mud and you can say ask him does he need rescue? >> And he's been missing for what 2 weeks? Fire this person. >> I know, right? They ain't how you how he lasted 2 weeks? Damn. Let's get back into it. Yeah. He's been missing for 10 days or something like that. He's going to start out here dehydrated. The situation forces the caller to act as a go-between for Andrew and the operator. How long has he been there? Can you ask him if he has any idea? How long you been here, buddy? Man? I can't understand it, brother. I can't get out there any in there with it. How far away is he from you? I walked back to the get in the water right now for him but he's probably 100 ft from solid ground. Yeah, a good 50 from solid. The manager agrees to have someone open the gate for first responders though it's not immediately clear how anyone will be able to get Andrew out. If I can get out to get him a water out here but I'm going in with him. He looks in bad condition. Yeah, he don't look good. Hey, man. Hey. Man, I can't get out there to you. I can't get to you. Here's your water. It's cold. Be careful. Yes, sir. How deep is he in the mud? He's up to his shoulders. And has he changed at all since you seen since you first called me? No. No, he looks like he's been like this for days. He's got mud caked all on his head like sunbaked. Damn. They say he ain't pretty solid. Yeah. Man, brother I'm fat now I'll take a boat down. >> [laughter] >> You don't need a rescue, do you? No. No, I think I'll be [laughter] all right. I hear you need a rescue. >> Getting anywhere near Andrew is a risky proposition as deputies and fire rescue personnel will discover for themselves before long. He's moving around. Um let me get up here where All right. where I can hear you good. I got to go around some of this mud hole. Yes, sir. Hey, how you doing down there? Okay. He said not good. How you got down there? All right. Give me a favor. Tell him if he's not sinking when he's staying still tell him not to move so he doesn't sink down any further, okay? If he can help it. Yep. Yep. Don't move around, buddy. We got help on the way. Man, do you have any medical conditions? Yeah, I do. How many days you've been out here? What day did you come out here? I don't know. Maybe 56. Six days with somebody else. He said six days. With somebody else? Six days else? Yeah. Where are they at? I don't know. I only know first names. John. He said he come out here with a guy named John and left. Yeah, the John guy left. What day did John leave? Saturday was Do you know what today is? No. No, he don't know. Do you see any visible injuries to his face or anything? No, he's covered in mud up to just under his shoulders and I can't He's got some kind of a chair or something behind him. A table or something. All right. Playing in the mud like maybe they were using to crawl out there on or something. I don't know. Yeah, I can hear them. They're must be about to pull in the gate. I can hear sirens on. Officials from Putnam County Fire Rescue, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office, and other agencies joined forces to begin the rescue operation but even getting out to Andrew's location proves to be a challenge. Damn. What was you thinking, dude? Oop. Mhm. Damn. I feel that. I ain't Oh. Oh, [ __ ] Oh. Oh, yeah. Damn. Dude, I feel that. I ain't there. Hey. Yo. >> [laughter] >> Ain't funny but damn. Yeah. Hey. Good thing you didn't bring extra uniforms. Come on, sis. All right. Which way did he say walk walk walk over there that way? What do you think? Which way did he say to go? Probably where all the footprints are. I can see why people get stuck out here. Damn. This crazy. It is all in my pants. The muddy ground leading to the pit is unstable but what Andrew has found himself in takes things to a new level. >> Oh. He's trying to grab hold of that wire. All right. Don't touch the wire. I got the rope back on. Okay. I've seen this before. Yep. What y'all do see him what was he in? No dude he he wouldn't even respond. I thought he was dead whenever I first seen him. So he I just looked for his tracks man. We've been looking for him supposedly he's been out here for Saturday or something like that. Even with the manpower and equipment getting Andrew out of the muck won't be easy. Cuz there's no way to really get a good grip down in there with him without you ending up with him. The difficulty leads to moments of frustration. If you shut up I can talk to you. You tell him Daniel. What's that? You tell him Daniel. God damn they shut the hell up on this radio that's all I'm busy. And of course these frustrations extend to the environment as well. Dang he got to put the whole everything on. So they don't have a like a certain kind of rescue team? >> think so. There we go. Dang. And if being weighed down in this mud is a problem the responders are about to realize why Andrew is stuck so firmly. Didn't he just walk out there? He [snorts] apparently got a chain and a and a cement box. You don't want to Yeah. Right around his ankle. Sir? What? Say what? He had a chain and cement that he had a chain and a weight. Tied to his step further down that ladder. What was he trying to do? Is he trying to 60? That's all. No. Your leg caught on something? It's that chain. Come on. As the last light fades from the day the deputies begin to consider the next move. So he's going to jail after this right? There's sandwich in that bag. His phone is hot. These are pants. That's a shirt two water bottles and the hot eating sandwich in that bag. After more than two hours of effort Andrew is finally pulled from the pit. The police report describes what first-hand photographs confirm that Andrew is fully covered in mud and without any clothing. Fire rescue authorities note that he had a 100 lb kettlebell chained to his leg. Andrew's family told officials that he recently went through a breakup and had been depressed. Andrew himself tells first responders that he was chained and left here by a man named John he met online but the reports make no mention of a follow-up investigation. I'll take them bolt cutters somebody. Got a nice coat of peanut butter on him. Nice. According to a Facebook post from the Putnam County Sheriff's Office Andrew was flown to a trauma center in critical condition. Due to his mental health the post says no charges are being considered at this time. What in the entire hell we just watching? >> That is crazy. Somebody said in the original comment of the video on the original video they said EW comes up with these bizarre ass stories. >> [laughter] >> No these are regular people. >> Yeah these are regular people out here doing some crazy stuff. >> Yes. Yeah dog what what what was he trying to and they said he they said what the police said was he trying to 60? Okay. >> know what that mean. That unalived himself. You think that's what it is? Yeah probably. Yeah and that's probably what it was. Yeah. That is crazy man. >> I don't even know what to say. It's like one of these crazy videos where somebody just Like Okay I'm I'm not trying to make a joke of that y'all. It's it's not it's not funny. So I'm not so please don't come for me in the in the comments. I'm not trying to make a joke. But there's other ways to unalive yourself. >> thinking the same thing. Yeah like you said not Like it'd be funny but why would you choose this way? Like Like I don't understand that. >> he said I'm I'm depressed I'm going to try a new way to unalive me. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah and then people do things like this >> Mhm. and they never think about their family. Your family's going to be worried they're going to be looking for you and when people take matters into their own hands and do something like this >> Mhm. by the time you're trying to complete the action and it doesn't happen I'm pretty sure regret sets in like this was dumb or I shouldn't have done this or now I'm in this particular situation and now I can't get out of it. Um Huh? >> No go ahead go ahead. So this this would just be an example to all of us. Mhm. If you have these thoughts please think of your family. Yes. Even if you can't consider yourself at the time think of your family and >> [sighs] >> I know. Yeah I want to want to say something different but I don't want to be insensitive. Yeah I know what you're saying. You don't want to do anything harsh. You don't want to do anything like really dramatic or tragic >> Mhm. but putting yourself way out here your family will forever be thinking about if he wasn't found alive. >> Mhm. Where is he? It will spend their entire life. I know families that have both parents have passed away not knowing what happened to their sons and daughters. That's not how you want to live out the rest of your life especially as a elderly parent. You don't want to be thinking about um where your child is because even if you as an adult you're going to always love your children. Right. To the deepest most part of your soul you're going to love your children. >> Mhm. And to not know where they are even if you like say if they're just homeless or on drugs and they're out in the street that's worrisome to a parent. >> Mhm. But to just not know at all where your child is can you imagine parents trying to go to sleep Mhm. >> day after day night after night month after month year after year just just not knowing? >> Yeah. Let's let's stop doing these things to our people. >> Yeah take the time to think about and and think of So he must be it must be happening uh before or something because they said he went somewhere else to try to to another one of their plants which is weird. I don't know why he would have that desire to want to go into a mud pit. I don't know. >> I'm going to tell you something. When a person See I see that's why I I wanted to take psychology in in college. Mhm. But I didn't cuz I love the mind and the reasons why people do stuff. >> Mhm. A lot of people want to prove something in their in their death. When they want to get back at the person that hurt them >> Mhm. they want to say you know what I'm going to make them really really hurt. >> Yes yes. So I'm going to unalive myself in the worst way so they can feel bad. >> Mhm. That's what he probably was thinking. So I'm going to do this and they can find me like this and and and it'd be it'd always be on their conscience of what they did to them. >> Right yes. People think like that sometimes cuz they they want to get you back for the hurt that they experienced. Like they said he broke up and he was depressed. Yeah. >> want to tell anybody who's watching this video and you have those thoughts. You know I'm going to share a little bit of my story. People like me to tell stories so I'll share a little bit of my story. I have been going through health issues since started in 2018. I have had bad thoughts but my mind never wanted to really say well I'm lying. I have been to that point where it said hey jump off this. Mhm. Just being honest cuz when something's new happening to you you don't you know you you used to being well all your life and something happens it makes you feel like you don't want to be alive then you go through those issues and you be like oh my god I don't I don't want to be alive man. And you do get those thoughts. But I want you to think about something. What if you could be healed Right. >> Then if you're in a relationship there's always be somebody out else out there for you even better. Right. >> Don't unalive yourself for one person. Mhm. Just because you hurt. If you feel like that and the person hurt you that hurt's going to hurt but it's going to go away. Yep. >> Trust me you going to get over that. Mhm. Time heals. They say time heals wounds it do. Mhm. Time and somebody else somebody else come in take your mind away from that person you'll forget about them. So don't do that to yourself. We already dealing with poisons in our food poisons in the air. Mhm. We already got to die die anyway. So why you want to rush it? Right. >> Just live life. Right. >> Just live life. That's my message right there. Right yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah I should already said mine. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> Thank y'all for being here. Thank y'all for the love support in this channel.
