The case of Sylvester Tonet is not one of violence and savagery, but one of loss of an old man and the grief that this caused for his family. The Monroeville police worked tirelessly to find Sylvester, but without success and, at the request of the family, invited Nancy Myer to contribute to the search.
Nancy Myer was confident of two things almost immediately after she spoke to Mr. Tonet’s relatives. The first was that, sadly, he was dead and the second was that he had not died as a result of violence. This gave little comfort to the relatives, but they were pleased that at least there was progress.
Having been given a knitted cap belonging to Sylvester, Nancy Myer was able to explain where he would be found. She explained that he had become confused when he was out walking and became frightened of those he had asked for help.
The seventy-eight year old man then wandered into the forest, further and further away from his home. By the time he fell or lay down to rest he was a long way from the search zone that police had established in the vicinity of his house.
With local police detective Will Greenaway, Nancy followed her sense of Sylvester’s last journey. Although they were forced to stop the trek by the cold and nightfall, she pointed out on a map she drew where he would be found.
The next day, Sylvester Tonet was found about 150 yards further on from where Myer and Greenaway had stopped. He had died sometime before and Nancy Myer had converted Will Greenaway to the value of psychics in police investigations.
