Michael Johnson Sr, 70, was found dead in a wooded area near Highway 40 in Dadeville on Friday, July 23, 2021. He had suffered multiple blows to the head from a blunt object. Johnson is survived by two children, six siblings, and four grandchildren.

A suspect, 49-year-old Willie Frank Wyckoff, was arrested the following Monday afternoon near Dadeville and charged with murder. Records show Wyckoff was out on a $5,000 bond from a 2019 second-degree assault charge at the time; court files also reflect prior guilty pleas for second-degree assault in 2006 and third-degree assault in 1994. The District Attorney filed a motion to revoke Wyckoff’s bond from the earlier assault case after the new charge.

Does anyone have information about Michael’s movements on July 23, 2021, or about the area near Highway 40 that could help clarify what happened?
