Psychics and Missing People

prewitt81 said:
I'd like to help in any way possible. This summer marks 10 years since my cousin Morgan Violi was kidnapped and murdered. I remember vividly when my aunt was told that a psychic was interested in the case. I wasn't the hardcore skeptic that I am now, but I never bought into psychic phenomena. I wanted to speak up against the idea, but decided that it wasn't my place.

I've regretted it ever since. I'd like the opportunity to redeem myself. I'll mod a forum, if you have it, or anything else that I could do to help (even if it's just to donate money).

Welcome, Prewitt81.

What a beautiful child! I am sorry your family has endured this tragedy, and then also not to have the killer(s) brought to justice.

It's obvious that psychics could not resolve the case. Is it possible that the family would come forward with their story at this time, or would it cause problems with relationships or great pain to ask?

I will be starting a series on the topic on my blog in early March. In conjunction with that, we'll release to the public the related website. At this time, we have not made a decision about having a forum there. We may just start out with basic info, and then add on from there.

We would be happy to have your help in whatever manner you feel appropriate.

Thank you.

Kelly,

We don't see my aunt much these days as she was married into the family until my uncle (who wasn't Morgan's father) passed away. I have probably only seen her a handfull of times since the tragedy happened, and have been timid to bring the subject up. Yet I have always wondered if she ever went through with the psychic consultation, what was said, and what she thinks of psychics now. Perhaps once the website is launched, I can try to contact her through one of my cousins to let her look and see what she thinks.

That's probably the best I can do on that front at the moment.

Be sure to hang around, Jeff, for when the times comes and we need you. You have that unique perpective in that you understand on a personal level. Thank you.
 
OK, first I stink at tech stuff.

Second, I can't print:
http://www.projectjason.org/comehome.html
without losing the right side last few letters. It might be me.

I did selection out the text to print, but is this my problem or a site problem?

...and I apologize for not reading posts after last Friday, I will later.

This is something I've always wondered how to do. I think it might have to do with the screen resolution, but I am not sure.

Anyone else for this question? Thanks, K!

Try going to Page Setup in your printer options and narrowing the margins.
 
Kelly, I wanted to let you know that as far as your main goal, bringing a skeptic eye to psychics and the missing, I cannot help. But I know others here will, so that's good.

Instead I have been working on the Come Home part here in Boston. Doing the leg work, and making the calls. Today was actually great. I've made contacts in 2 shelters, and once I'm sure of my footing there, I will find others.

I wish I could help on the skeptic front, but, hey, I'll do what I can.

As always, you pick your battles. This small part is a battle I choose to fight.

That works for me. The more shelters we have on the program, the more effective. It seems there are quite a few here willing to help with the psychics, so we're good to go there.

I'm sure Boston has quite a few shelters, but we've never once been able to get one to sign up. The NE part of the country doesn't lack shelters, but we seem to do better in the south with sign-ups. Perhaps we can make up some ground.

Thank you!

One solution is to change the page to landscape in page setup. Then it will print OK.

Another option is to highlight the text, press Cntl C to copy to the clipboard then go to Word and press Cntl V to paste. It will print OK there.

You might have to turn on word wrap before printing.
 
what I did was highlight the text, file, print, and check the Selection button rather than the All button.
 
I heard from Tony Youens today. He said he would do a write up and post a link down the road. (Thanks, Cabby)

I also received a story from one of my families. I thought my experience was bad enough, but when I read this one, mine was a walk in the park!
 
OK, back to business.

re:
Hello Kevin - Thank you for making me aware of the missing persons locator
through "Project Jason" I have forwarded the same information along to
...snip...
New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans.

Kelly, is there anything else you need regarding this shelter?

Also, I still haven't heard from the other shelter I mentioned. 2 phone calls and one email. I think tomorrow will be a face-to-face meeting. I'll wear a nice tie, and my new super cool raincoat. It makes me feel like Neo in "the Matrix".

I will contact them, Kevin, and find out which email addresses they want to use.

LOL on the "Neo" look. As to the 2nd shelter, I wouldn't go any further than that. Sometimes they're all wrapped up in privacy laws, and they can also have the perception that we have persons on the program who are not really missing, such as women hiding from abusive men, etc.

Thank you!
