Our 141st episode begins a 5 part series on the disappearances of Brian Ognjan and David Tyll, who had been friends since they were kids. In November of 1985, the two travelled north from their homes in the Detroit area to do some hunting, and were never seen again by their family and friends. Over the next 5 episodes, we'll be covering the investigation into their disappearance, the eventual theory that they met with foul play, the laundry list of bad actors who were suspected of their murders, and the decades long fight for justice once authorities believed they had their perpetrators.
