The Appalachian Channel with John Ward

The Appalachian Channel is primarily a travel and destination channel, showcasing places that are not in mainstream tourist areas. People around the world visit the many mom-and-pop-run general stores and restaurants I feature in my videos. I also document Appalachian people and have them talk about their life experiences. Come along with me as I explore the many small towns and businesses that make Appalachia great!

Ginseng Hunting Mystery of Missing Hawkins Brothers: New Details & Possibilities of what Happened.

Join me as we uncover the Mystery of the Missing Hawkins Brothers: 4 Years Later. This video dives into the troubling series of events surrounding the disappearance of Scott and Tracy Hawkins on August 6, 2021. From their last known trip to ginseng hunt in the mountains to unsettling discoveries involving narcotics, we navigate the layers of this heartbreaking case.

Through heartfelt interviews with their mother, Donna, and other family members, this video brings attention to a family’s unwavering pursuit of answers and closure. We explore key locations tied to their disappearance, analyze evidence like their abandoned, burnt vehicle, and hear claims that suggest foul play may have occurred.

This is more than just an investigation; it’s a plea for justice and a chance to bring hope for stability to a grieving family. Unfortunately, four years later, little progress has been made, but there’s still hope that someone with vital information can step forward.

Let’s explore the facts, the community’s involvement, and how you can help by sharing this story or providing tips. If you know anything, please contact the Campbell County Sheriff's Department or reach out to me by email. Your voice could be the key to solving this case.

Support my efforts to bring awareness by subscribing to the Appalachian Channel. Hit the notification bell to stay updated on this case and other stories. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you for watching, and let’s keep the Hawkins family in our prayers.

I love this video and song. When people steal and can’t pass drug tests, they get evicted and then get a little, hate-filled YouTube channel to tell their lies.
