Brian Ognjan, 27, vanished on November 22, 1985, after leaving St. Clair Shores, Michigan, with his childhood friend David Tyll for a weekend deer hunt in northern Michigan. The two drove Tyll’s black 1980 Ford Bronco and were last reportedly seen in the Mio area; they never reached the family cabin near White Cloud and never bought hunting licenses. Neither man showed up for work the following Monday and the Bronco also disappeared.

Early searches and thousands of leads produced no trace of the men or the vehicle. Rumors in the Mio community centered on a local family with a violent reputation. In May 2003 a witness who had been too afraid to speak earlier testified she saw two brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, beat Brian and David to death with a baseball bat after a bar fight in the Linker’s Lounge parking lot. Other witnesses said the brothers boasted about killing the men and claimed they fed the bodies to pigs.

The Duvall brothers were arrested, and in October 2003 they were convicted of two counts of first-degree murder and given life sentences. Brian’s and David’s bodies and the Ford Bronco have never been recovered. Is there anyone who knew Brian, David, or the Mio scene in 1985 who can add details about that weekend or the Bronco’s last movements?
