Editing Mio, Michigan (section)

===Detroit-area hunters murdered===
For nearly eighteen years, Mio was thrust into the local and national media spotlight due to a case involving two [[Metro Detroit|Detroit-area]] hunters who went missing in the fall of 1985. Progress in the investigation was stymied by area residents' refusal to help, citing fears of violent reprisal. On November 21, 1985, childhood friends David Tyll and Brian Ognjan were beaten to death with baseball bats outside of a local bar. The case was eventually cracked in 2003, when two brothers, Raymond and Donald Duvall, both from South Branch, in [[Iosco County]], were convicted of murdering the pair near Mio. It was rumored that the murderers had disposed of the bodies by feeding them to pigs.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.michigan-sportsman.com/forum/threads/2-brothers-found-guilty-of-murdering-hunters.51347/ |title=2 brothers found guilty of murdering hunters |date=October 29, 2003 |first1=Hugh |last1=McDiarmid, Jr. |newspaper=[[Detroit Free Press]] |access-date=June 18, 2017}}</ref> When the two brothers were sentenced to life in prison without parole, Tyll's father said, "They took my son.
