MORE PSYCHIC VISIONS

King wouldn’t have to wait long to talk to her second psychic. She got a call on May 24, 2002, from Vicky Ankley, who had just returned from her second recent trip north to Roscommon.

About two weeks earlier she had stopped at a rest area, seen a flyer on the hunters and started having visions of the two missing men.

She came home briefly, but the visions forced her to return to the Roscommon area to do some investigating. She now had a suspect in mind and detailed information she wished to share.

Money wasn’t an issue, she said, she was just a clairvoyant wishing to help. She’d worked with the police in the past, she said, and helped solve a case involving a Ryan Getz.

King interviewed 32-year-old Ankley at the Richmond post just north of Detroit on June 3. Ankley told her the murderer was a 45-year-old with sandy hair, a hunter who had met Tyll and Ognjan at a rest stop along I-75 and decided on a random killing as a challenge.

The murderer was going to retire in November and may have been involved in inappropriate behavior with his stepdaughter.

She said the killer had used a Taser to stun the two hunters, then gotten into their truck and driven into a heavily wooded area. The two victims were put in a crate with metal bars. Four other men showed up and the two hunters were released so they could be chased through the woods at night like animals.

Tyll was the first to be caught. He’d eluded his pursuers until the next afternoon. Both were tortured before they were killed and burned. Their kidnapper kept one of Tyll’s fingers as a souvenir and was using it to intimidate his wife and stepdaughter.

All of this came from her visions. Unable to get them to stop, she had driven back up north with her boyfriend to do her investigation. Her visions had included the kidnapper’s name, and she knew he lived in a brown house off a dirt road. His wife was short with curly blond hair. His daughter was on Xanax and worked in a flower shop or beauty salon. She also could see where the man worked.

Ankley and her boyfriend were driving to his place of employment when she saw his car parked outside a building and saw him standing there. They stopped. She got out and approached him. “Are you Norman?”

“You’re here to get me,” he said.

She looked into his eyes and knew her visions were true. Terrified, she ran back to her car and they fled the scene.

Ankley said she knew from her visions where the bodies were buried and she agreed to take police officers there, provided they bring a K-9 dog from the Great Lakes Search and Rescue Company. The dog had helped on the Getz case.

After Ankley left, King did an Internet search. Some of Ankley’s story checked out. King found that a Ryan Getz had been reported missing in East Lansing in December of 1997 and his body was found several months later by a K-9 unit, but details were sketchy.
