psychic detectives

One of my friends send me a link to this woman's website and now I must investigate and write an article. I have a sickness, I really do. Gale St John AKA the Body Hunter. She was vaguely in the right area where Caylee Anthony's body was. She didn't actually find Caylee and she had cadaver dogs...

I posted my article on "psychic detective" Jackie Barrett and just last night the comment war has actually ventured into threats. I was expecting some rabid Jackie supports that are a few fries short of a Happy Meal to leave me some hate, but this is ridiculous. For someone who claims to be...

An Oregon psychic claimed a ghost attack left a physical mark and she apparently thought she could be of assistance in locating weapons of mass destruction. That's right. During a critical exam of the claims surrounding TV psychic detective Laurie McQuary some truly odd ball events have...

Four weeks after a Eugene Oregon CBS-TV affiliate, KVAL-TV News, reported that “psychic” Laurie McQuary assisted in locating 27 bodies McQuary has offered no public evidence supported by law enforcement verifications. The original broadcast was on November 19, 2008. No public law enforcement...

Eugene Oregon TV station KVAL-TV ran a news broadcast in November that included the news anchor introducing a "psychic" Laurie McQuary story with ". . .Law enforcement agencies all across Oregon are using these people to help crack cases.” The report (including the full video clip) includes the...

The link below has video: Source: http://www.wesh.com/news/17850702/detail.html Video: http://www.wesh.com/video/17850995/index.html That's disappointing to see police examine psychic "leads," but at least they admit the "tips" are vague and of no help. However, if or when the case is solved...

I'm writing an article on Jackie Barrett and her "psychic detective" work. I've been looking for all the information that I can about this woman and I wanted to know if anyone has heard of her or is familiar with her "work". She came in second place in America's Psychic Challenge and was...

I would like to be the first to propose that henceforth when referring to psychic claims and even psychic statements, we substitute the more accurate "psychic vomit". If used extensively this may raise the level of our descriptive accuracy. Case in point: Psychic Noreen Renier has in the past...

I just watched a"Psychic Investigators" show on the Biography channel that is well summarized on this link -- http://www.victorzammit.com/afterlifearticles/psychicdetectives.html "Five year old Tommy Kennedy disappears. Parents frantic. Over 100 voluntary searchers fail to locate Tommy. No...

According to a program I just watched on the Biography Channel, see http://noreenrenier.com/media/articles/stauntonnewsleader.htm -- psychic detective Noreen Renier played an important role in helping solve a series of five rapes in Staunton, VA in 1979. Three officials involved in the case...

In Yahoo's featured section today are two stories about psychics, neither of which will probably thrill the woo crowd. The first has less to do with outing or debunking anything, but gives pretty good insight into the business of fortune-telling... at least in California where the field is...

I hope a lot of people read this, but the end is addressed specifically to Rodney. This thread is a spin off of this one that started about self-proclaimed psychic Norman Pratt. It evolved into a thread about the value of psychics in police cases with Rodney taking the lead in support of...

Psychic Noreen Renier, often seen on the Court TV series 'Psychic Detectives' has filed for her second Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 8 years. On August 28, 2007 she filed in Virginia with her largest creditor skeptic John Merrell --- myself! Having recently won a $39,558 federal court judgment I hold...

I wondered if anyone else saw this program on Living TV a few days back? It was about a body that was unclaimed after the King's Cross Station fire in 1987, and how a team of psychic detectives attempted to help the police identify him. I was initially impressed that the info claimed the...

This story is about a psychic who was consulted after exhausting the efforts of a search party. The article is over two years old but I think it's typical of news stories where a psychic was consulted to assist authorities. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2005/01/27/psychic-body050127.html He...

Psychic detectives are real and so are psychics in general. Some of them do cold reading like Sylvia Browne and John Edwards but some of them are real and especially the ones on the T.V. show like Nancy Myers and Phil Jordon. I think when you watch the TV show Psychic Detectives with that...

An interesting article about a serial killer, and psychics being involved: Full article here.

May 2005, A statement made to John Stossel of 20/20: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/JohnStossel/2005/05/25/psychics_break_hearts or: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=124301&page=4 January 19, 2007, A statement made by Browne as read on CNN...

As discussed on ABC's 20/20 about Browne's involvement: http://abcnews.go.com/2020/Story?id=124301&page=3 So Browne said the girl "was dead, in New Mexico" and police again followed Browne's "leads" to find nothing. The parents' website for the missing girl: http://www.kristinekupka.com...

Allison DuBois, the claimed police psychic, is mentioned all over the press, but the articles always lack information about cases. I can't find a single case in the newswires. Anyone know of any to follow up on? There should be records of: Source

Dorothy Allison was a self-proclaimed police psychic who appeared on various daytime talk shows. I found this article, and think some might find it of interest. Here is a good CSICOP article about one of her high profile cases. Source: Martin, Douglas. "Dorothy Allison, 74, 'Psychic Detective'...

I got this email from Whitely Strieber's woo-woo website today: The tale is here. I see Randi is mentioned in the archives. Discuss...

OK. So, you refuse to take the JREF Challenge. And you shy away from scientific testing. I, for one, will let go of my...insistence...that you take the JREF Challenge, and be tested scientifically... ...if you can find this child. Think you can let go of your animosities, your pettiness, you...

I did some traipsing through Lexis-Nexus, which is pretty darn addicting (dangit, Questioninggeller!!!). Anyway, I found an article that talks about the murder of Bryan Keith Smith -- frustrated that the investigation was going nowhere, Bryan's Mom went to see Sylvia Browne on the Montel...

Remember a few weeks back: Ts_To4zmEdE Linda Rossi, Browne's business manager, said in that clip: "And I might add she NEVER charges anyone to do that." That is false according to the article below. Browne charged the police $400, and would not even "give" the killer's name. To see a...

Starting tomorrow (02/19), Fox 13 News at Nine in Memphis, TN will be running segments on a psychic involved in the case of Cherryl Pearson who has been missing since January of 2002. I've been searching but haven't been able to determine the identity of the psychic and her name isn't mentioned...

Hello everyone -- I've been working on following up leads about Allison Dubois' involvement with the Opal Jennings case in Texas and, so far, I've been able to find no independent evidence that she's been helpful. I'm not done, so that's not to say that it didn't happen, but things are...

I know this lady has been discussed in this lenghty thread Diane Lazarus - Psychic Challenge 'winner' - Dishonest (which I finally finished today), but since I myself have a tendency to give up in advance if I haven't followed a thread from the beginning, I've decided to start a new one. I saw...

From John Merrell: A further update is now posted following the loss by "psychic detective" Noreen Renier to skeptic John Merrell in a Washington federal court. This judgment came in response to a "breach in settlement" agreement reached in 1992, but in 2005 breached by Renier with the...

Here in my home province of BC Canada, yet another psychic has wasted scarce police resources. In my local pseudo-newspaper tabloid, The Province, I read that: Aaron Derbyshire of Westbank, BC is missing, and his family has offered a reward for his return by Christmas this year, "dead or...
