Mr. Pribanic's remains were found by the family of Kimberly Moreau, who went missing in 1986. Kimberly's father said in 2024 that a friend with psychic abilities had led them to the spot where the remains were found. The psychic has been working with the Moreaus for five years and Kimberly's father says they were together in Jay when the woman directed them to the woods near Elm Street.

When the group checked out the spot she'd talked about, just two streets from their home, they found the remains. Their hopes soared until they learned that the deceased was a man. Mr. Moreau said that while he was disappointed that the remains were not his daughter, he felt relief that the person's family had some closure.

The Medium Says a Voice Sent Her to the Vacant Bowling Alley

The psychic who sent the family to the location is Laurencia Bourget who says a voice directed her to the vacant bowling alley, according to WGME-TV. She said it only took a few minutes of searching before Mr. Pribanic's remains were found.

Our condolences to his family and friends.
