Lots of dead giant squids are found every year. No one has ever been able to document sighting a live one.

There is a Discovery Channel special which is a documentary of an Australian scientist who DID find archituthus larvae alive off the coast of New Zealand. None survived longer than 48 hours. They tried to keep them alive, but the water temperature and the light seemed to do them in. They dragged nets down hundreds of feet constantly for hours. It was really interesting. No adult has ever been found. That's true.
