Mary Occhino, aka MaryRose, has a weekly sirius radio show called "Medical Mondays" for "The intuitive approach to listeners’ current and future health."
According to the press release:
She claims "validation" from con-artist Gary Schwartz and appeared on conspiracy talk radio's Coast-to-Coast on January 25th, 2006.
Here's some of her predictions:

1) I fail to see how Rose "may have helped" in any way. According to this NY Times article, Patrick McNeill Jr. drank at a bar with friends and was not seen again until his body was found drowned in a river. How did she help with that?
2) As for her "weigh[ing] in on local cases, including the kidnapping of Katie Beers," what's that mean? Did she help? Because many other psychics, ie those who take money from the desperate, like Janet Russell say they "worked on it" too.
3) As for Katherine Kolodziej, that is unsolved so MaryRose's "help" wasn't too useful.

TITLE: DIVINE SECRETS - PSYCHIC MARY OCCHINO PREDICTS THE FATES OF THE ULTRA-FAMOUS. (Page Six Magazine).

INFORMATION: p77. (507 words)
AS HARD as it is to believe, the supermarket glossies have, at times, led us cruelly astray. Jennifer and Vince never tied the knot, and Jessica Simpson did not have a baby to save her marriage. Jaded with all the folly, we turn to the paranormal to get the real scoop on the stars' universe. With Miss Cleo currently incarcerated for fraud, we tapped a psychic medium without a felony conviction on her record: Mary Occhino, the host of "Angels on Call" on Sirius Satellite Radio.

TOO HOT IN THE KITCHEN
Do you think Mario Batali is going to spontaneously combust?
Between his sweating, and his belly and his orange clogs, I can't look at him anymore! He's a great chef, but it looks like if he has another piece of cheese, his heart is going to burst. I believe he needs to lose the weight - or he'll have a heart attack within three years.
FOX TROT
What's in store for Michael J. Fox?
He will absolutely change the course of history, and he'll be a guinea pig for stem-cell research. He's much bigger than this.
HOW LOHAN CAN YOU GO?
Lindsay Lohan is your neighbor in Long Island. What's in store for her?
She is so full of herself. She's going to ruin herself so totally that no one is going to want to work with her. She's going to be blackballed and working in a 7-Eleven on Long Island. If you are meant for people to know who you are, it will happen. If you try to manipulate the universe to become a star, it won't happen. You cannot just take people down on your way to the top.
BROWN OUT
Let's look at comebacks. Do you think Whitney Houston is back to stay?
She'll be back, and bigger than ever, now that she has shed the cancer that was Bobby Brown. She will do a movie and win an Academy award.
Really? That much of a comeback?
Oh, yeah. And she'll work with Mel Gibson. She will do the soundtrack and act. It will be some sort of epic drama.
IS HE STRAIGHT?
What about Star Jones' husband? Will he leave her for a cabana boy?
She's so strong-willed that she'll never get divorced.
Will her career recover?
She's a lawyer; she can always make money - it just won't be "The View." It will never be like that again.

Title:Seeking by sixth sense: Court TV profiles Bay Shore psychic who has more than stars in her eyes when helping in police work.
Source: Newsday (Melville, NY)
DATE: (April 25, 2006)(435 words)
Byline: Zachary R. Dowdy
Apr. 25--One day in April 1997, veteran New York Police Department Det. Joe Croce sat and watched Bay Shore's Mary Rose scribble on a hand-drawn chart representing the heavens. The detective's world of solid objects - bodies, blood and guns - could not vary more from Rose's intangible realm of mediums and the metaphysical. That encounter, which led police to the East River - and the body of a missing person - will be re-enacted by Croce and Rose on national television at 10 p.m. tomorrow on Court TV. ...
The four hours Croce spent with Rose, a self-described astrologer-psychological profiler and psychic, may have helped crack the case of the disappearance of Patrick McNeill Jr. His body was found in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, two days after Rose drew the chart, which she says led to his body almost two months after he was seen leaving a bar on the Upper East Side.
Rose will play herself in tomorrow's episode of Court TV's "Psychic Detectives," a show that highlights cases where law enforcement relies on the paranormal. But Nathan Bupp, communications director for the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims for the Paranormal in Amherst said, "When you actually look at it empirically you find that time and again psychics have not led to solving cases." Still, Rose has weighed in on local cases, including the kidnapping of Katie Beers, a 10-year-old Mastic Beach girl who was imprisoned by a family friend for 16 days in 1992 and 1993 in an underground vault. Her insights were also sought in 1999 when state police were probing the 25-year-old murder of Katherine Kolodziej, 17, a Ronkonkoma student at the State University at Cobleskill. Police said her leads helped, although the case is unsolved. ...
