Browne wrong again: Terrence Farrell

I know you're joking, but it's important to remind other readers about the contradictions in that. For example, "Unless its a rush job," and 5 days after 9/11 is likely to be considered such.

What does this mean:
Browne, who does law enforcement work pro bono, unless it's a rush job, found the body of a murder victim for an agency in Pennsylvania and gave the FBI a description and the names of the perpetrators of the World Trade Center bombing.


Did she really do this? Well as for the world trade center, I saw the buildings burning from my office window and right away said, "Who would have done this? Bin Laden?" Probably like every other American. I wonder if she really gave the names of the actual hijackers, has this been verified?

To answer both of your questions, Browne seems to be referring to this case: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84759

She has talked about it on Larry King and I've heard Montel toting it as an example of her powers but never by name.

According to Montel, she told the boy's mother he was in a small body of water near a large body of water and that it was by a street called "Spruce Road". He said that the mother kept negating it but a few months later, the body was discovered in a ditch when the reservior emptied out and that the road by which it was turned out to be a "tree name".

What happened was that the body was discovered by Penn Dot workers in a culvert during a routine inspection.

As for the WTC, she claims to have solved the first attack:

It looks from the story like she might have actually said he was near big water and little water, not in it. Now that's a case of expertly saying something vague that can be taken as something specific. It could be anything from a toilet and a bathtub to a puddle near a river - any two wet things at all that would happen to be anywhere near the body. That woman!

Not to add fuel to the fire regarding press ethics, but whatever it was she said did not constitute her finding the body as the story stated.
 
Isn't it disgusting? You can't go lower than claiming the credit for finding someone's child. It's exploiting a murder.

To my understanding, the boy's mother appeared on Montel when the boy was still officially missing and the man who had robbed him and was suspected of killing him had committed suicide to escape the police.

So it was a sure guess that he was dead and that his body was hidden somewhere in the immediate area and certainly what the police and family already knew.

A body of water near another body of water could be anywhere in Pennsylvania and that the place was near a road with a tree in the name is a fair guess in that part of the US. And it wasn't "Willow" or whatever it was she said at the time, it was "Spruce Hollow Road".

And as you said, she had nothing to do with finding the body. It was discovered months later by a bridge crew.

Sylvia told her that her father was dead and when she asked for the location of the body, she blew it off, saying it wasn't important cause he's on the Other Side.

Also said this other woman would confess and someone else would be convicted, none of which has happened, as far as I can tell.

WILLIAMS: Well, our next guest's father went missing in 2000. Four months later he was found dead. Take a look at this.

Ms. BROWNE: Mm.

(Excerpt from videotape)

ASHLEY: Right after I graduated high school in June of 2000, I saw my dad for the last time. He was at my uncle's house. My mom came to pick me up, and he was sitting there on the porch, and I told him goodbye, and I told him I loved him. But I had no idea that that was the last time that I would see him.

He was missing for almost four months. The four months that he was missing we had no idea where he was. We didn't know if he was dead or alive. And on October 15th, 2000, he was found in his car off the side of the road, off--250 feet over the mountain. He was tied to the driver's seat with jumper cables, and the car was lodged between two trees on its top.

He was found by a man who was scouting for deer, and the car was covered with debris. There was a hole in his shirt, and there was a piece of metal lodged in his chest, but they have no leads. They have no idea who could have done this to my dad. The case is still unsolved. The investigation was horrible. There basically was no investigation.
Without knowing what happened to my dad, we can't have closure. It's horrible living with the fact that we don't know what happened to him, and there's nothing we can do about it. And that's why I need Sylvia's help.

(End of excerpt)

WILLIAMS: Please welcome Ashley to the show.

You already said, Sylvia, `I do.'

Ms. BROWNE: Are you aware that there was a business deal that was supposed to go down?

ASHLEY: All that we knew was that he was supposed to have been going to try and sell a truck for a man that he knew.

WILLIAMS: That was a business deal.

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, that's a business deal. The man that did this was a man by the name of...(censored by network).

ASHLEY: What does this--what this man look like? What does he do?

Ms. BROWNE: Actually, he looks like a rugged cowboy type, you know what I mean? And he also has a tendency to work on cars.

ASHLEY: Why did he--why did he do this?

Ms. BROWNE: Because he's crazy. And the business deal seems to have something to do with a transfer, or--well, yeah, you said something about truck, buying something.

ASHLEY: Uh-huh.

Ms. BROWNE: But it wasn't what he thought. He got enraged because your dad said he didn't want to do it. Do you see what I'm saying? He got enraged.

ASHLEY: Right.

Ms. BROWNE: A lunatic, you can drop a feather, and they'll get enraged. Do you see what I mean?

ASHLEY: Right.

Ms. BROWNE: Anything can set him off.

ASHLEY: Was--was he alone in this? Did he have any help?

Ms. BROWNE: No, he was alone in it.

ASHLEY: Was--was my dad--was he alive when he went over the mountain in that car, or was he dead before he went over the mountain?

Ms. BROWNE: Oh, he was dead, honey. He was dead. He was gone.

ASHLEY: Did he go quickly?

Ms. BROWNE: Yes, thank God. But you know, if somebody's holding a gun on you, you'd just about would let him do anything. Do you know what I'm saying?

ASHLEY: So was he tortured?

Ms. BROWNE: No, he was not tortured.

ASHLEY: Why was he tied? Why was he tied to the seat with jumper cables?

Ms. BROWNE: I think that this lunatic--let's call him a lunatic--wanted him to give in about this business deal or whatever it was, this transfer of title or something. I don't know what. But he got really upset.

ASHLEY: Why would--why wouldn't my dad just give in? Why?

Ms. BROWNE: Your dad? Did you know your dad?

ASHLEY: Well, yes, I knew---I knew my dad. But I thought...

Ms. BROWNE: Well, I bet you I know him better. Your dad didn't give into diddly squat if he didn't want to.

ASHLEY: No, but I also meant that he would do anything for his family.

Ms. BROWNE: But honey, that has nothing to do with principle.

WILLIAMS: If he didn't know it was coming.

Ms. BROWNE: No, if he didn't know it was coming.

ASHLEY: So he didn't expect this?

Ms. BROWNE: No, he didn't expect a lunatic to start tying him up and holding him at gunpoint.

WILLIAMS: I got to take a break. We'll take a little break.

Ms. BROWNE: That has no bearing with what I'm saying. The deal went sour. He wasn't going to do it.

WILLIAMS: We'll be back right after this.

71) Louise Melgoza Macias.

PAPER: Merced Sun-Star
ARTICLE: "Killer still at large"
DATE: Dec 21, 2002
AUTHOR: Stacey Wiebe

When Sylvia Mariscal sets the table for Christmas dinner, she'll be reminded, just like every other day, that someone is missing. "At this time of year, everyone's together -- but not really," she said from her Chowchilla living room. "There's a person missing here." That person is Mariscal's mother, Louise Melgoza Macias, who died at the age of 74. It's true... An expensive telephone call to Sylvia Browne, a psychic, and an appearance on "Crossing Over with John Edward," a TV show hosted by another psychic, were further quests for answers. ...will come forward with information if she continues to search for answers.
