Misty's Reading:

Because this is still an open case, only a brief summary of Misty's reading will be provided on this web site. MPR has provided a complete report to Dana Bruce's family.


+ Misty does not feel that Dana is still alive. She feels that she was murdered by strangulation and that her body was disposed of in a pool of water surrounded by rocks. She stated that her shoe would be found first which will lead to the finding of her body. Once the body is found, forensics should help solve the case. She feels that she is located outside of town, not buried and not in deep water.

+ Misty feels that at least 2 men were involved in her murder and provided descriptions of these men to the family. She feels the murder occurred after a heated argument.

+ Misty stated that the numbers 3 & 7 were somehow connected to Dana. She feels that she may have been pregnant.

+Misty visited both Malone's and Coaches and felt that she was able to retrace Dana's path the night of her disappearance. She got the feeling that Dana was very upset and stressed out that night and had been involved in several arguments.


UPDATE: Additional Information from Misty's reading

+There are at least two males involved. Whoever this 2nd male was, he was here…when I walked over to the corner, I could feel his impression. He has a tattoo on his hand. It’s like the tail of a dragon or something. It goes up his arm but I can’t see the rest of it because of his shirt or jacket.

+ I’m still seeing clear water….they need to be checking a gray or silver car. They need to check that car. They need to check the rock quarries. They need to check where the clear water is.

+ Whoever had her last, grabbed her by the back of the head and smacked her around a little bit. I’m not sure if she was going to say something to somebody that was going to get her in trouble or if she saw something she shouldn’t have seen….it had to be some kind of incident but I can’t tune into it. There was fighting over something.

+ I'm getting the name Frank or Swank. This person knows something.


*** MPR will be adding bits and pieces every now in then just to keep the case in the public eye and maybe bring someone forward with some information.

 



While Misty was retracing Dana's path, she came to the back entrance of Malones Bar. Although it was reported that Dana was last seen at Coaches, Misty felt that she returned to Malones and entered through the back entrance. The owner confirmed that the back door was open on that particular night.

 

Misty tries to make contact with Dana at Malones while seated in a location where Dana often sat.
