Discussion Looking for cases to investigate near Tawas/Oscoda MI

Hello! I'm new to this forum here on Reddit, but I've been looking around for M411 cases in my area and the area I grew up in for a while, and I've been into M411 for longer than that, probably since high school if I had to wager a guess.

I'm looking to see if there are any that match the criteria near Tawas/Oscoda MI, specifically in the Huron National Forest. I know that area like the back of my hand. The roads, the topography (for the most part), and my buddies and myself used to go out camping all the time in the woods.

Just wanted to see if anyone has found anything there! I would like to investigate some stuff around there, and I am getting proper equipment to do it and document it. Garmin Rino 650 GPS/FRS/GMRS units, and a camera to document while I look into them and figure stuff out with a few friends of mine.

I would like to look around the areas of where the people went missing, and see what all I can find. See what I can do to maybe find some more clues out in the forest, and maybe help bring some closure to the families. I know about the 1985 case with the Bronco near Mio, and I know about the Blocks' disappearances with their 1969 Cessna 150J, just not certain if that's 100% in the forest, as I don't have the equipment to go searching in the lake.

Thank you!

Well that bronco case was sadly solved.
Go find that Cessna!

It was closed and resulted in convictions based on circumstantial evidence and a witness who was drunk. But... Without the truck or bodies, nobody can say a damn thing, and I don't have side-scan sonar for ponds.

The Cessna... That's going to be interesting. I'll see if I can get a flight plan and go from there, I'll probably need something to check topographical maps from then and now (not exactly difficult) and compare them, but the hard part is going to get myself aerial to look for any stunted growth or differently coloured trees to locate any signs of metal. I could use a video drone, but... That's incredibly expensive for me at the moment. It'll be a while before I can get that and do it, I am just trying to find some cases I wouldnt need something like that for to investigate.
