Calling my psychic busting friends:
In regards to our local case here, the little murdered 12 yr old girl, Amber Harris: Several "psychics", and one in particular who calls himself JackAMW, are prominent on the AMW forum. There is a thread under Missing Persons with her name where these people are posting. There is no direct links to these threads.

I'd be very pleased if someone could give them the straight talk about their nonsense. It would most likely not change their minds, but could help other readers and lurkers. Amber's mom is a lurker. I called her about what they are saying.
Here is a summary of posts, most of which are by JackAMW. My comments are in italics and my bolding.
post #145: another psychic says she's alive and in FL with abductors
Post 148, JackAMW says: This reporter looks here and sees, she tells the mother and truth comes. Take camera to the place where taken. Follow the path between trees, 500 yards and to the left find evidence, small pond, bring cadaver dogs. Bushes grown, honeysuckle come, berries in grass, beneath the ground the girl lies.
Evil take and justice comes for the man with dirt on hands, boots that zip up the side, stripes on blue, hands with grease,Tom....Tommy....Timmy. Close by, walk from school to her house, you will pass within site of this man. Tan, brown car.
219: says Miller Park is bingo.
(Amber was found in Hummel Park.)
263: No, I feel that she has been found. Is this the area that I mentioned before, the location of the remains is close to Water? A park, also? Let me know what else happens.
272: Has a man by the name of Darius Barnes been questioned? This man lives at the corner of the street that Amber would have taken. He is a sex offender. Contact that reporter and see if this guy has been checked out.
Another man that needs to be checked out is Darrel King, he lived very close to where the bag was found and is an SO. I feel that it will be one of these men.
The name feels to me to be
Darius or Darrel. It will be someone that has seen her before and lives close, mechanic.
You can pass this on to the reporter or the police,
it is my feelings and I feel that I am correct as I have been with most of the case.
(Jack took names of two sex offenders who live nearby and called them his men.)
276: To the police officer that reads this:
The man that killed the girl lives very close by, it was a crime done rapidly but the book bag kept as a trophy for some time. It was dumped there to draw attention to the SO that lives there, Darrel I think his name is. The point of where she got off and walked south then east. Close to Darrius, I keep getting this name. After death he heads straight north on road named for someone famous, girl in trunk of car as I have described, wears blue shirt, stripes. Mechanic, could be plumber. Black man, 25-40, handyman, 5'9-5'10
291:
I have given the name of the person I feel is responsible, Darrius, on this thread.
296: another person sums up Jack's "clues"
324: You are correct. He could work across town or in his garage as a mechanic. I say mechanic because I feel that he wears a blue shirt with white stripes that go up and down on it. He stands next to a octagon shaped sign, hip high, He drives a beater car, like a mechanic would or low income. I feel that he works with his hands but is lazy. What other occupation would wear that shirt?
Now the question is who would be getting off of work about the time the girl went missing that lived in that vicinity that knew her? Who would that man be that would offer her a 4 block ride in his warm car just at nightfall? Or have her come in his home and get warm. Someone she trusted and knew. Who is that? He will live close by, may have helped in search, was at vigil. He is there amoung them.
343: I feel that a man is under suspicion and evidence needed. News is silent and something is known. Fingerprints in the bookbag will lead to the man but other information given helps show the entire picture of how events folded.
They watch. The man sweats and runs, Hades waits. Is Darrius home? Night comes and day is to be seen, when the sun rises, the truth be known. Comes judgement for the evil one.
From the body, insects tell date of death, burial in haiste, much too fast. Wind blows and skull is found, hear this evil one, your time has come.
The girl cries in the wind, she walks the park.
Now Jack seems to be changing his mind.
348:Justice comes for the little girl buried amoung the trees and creek nearby. Family waits for her still, but for the man that did the kill, comes Hell and the Rider is upon a horse of pale. No this man fears for comes with it judgement. To the police officer that reads this:
The man that is in the cell that drove the van with the name of Brandon is the man that have been seeing, you have the correct man. He is the killer.
352-355: Jack says Brandon is in jail right now. He also says: LE reads here and knows of my message to them, truth comes. They follow what I say.
This is the man! (But what about Darrius and Darrel?)
362: This is confusing. The SO Darrius does not look like the man I see. The SO Paul Dee Roberts that lived near her is white but has disappeared. The man that I feel to be him and looks like the man I see is the man that drove a van, he is named Brandon. He was arrested for enticement of a 13 year old girl and a couple more young girls by coaxing them in his van. Something is not right.
367:
This is very confusing to me, I feel Brandon English picked up the girl and is guilty but I feel that Paul Roberts is guilty as well and that he did the actual killing.At this time I feel that Brandon would find the girls and take to Roberts. Roberts killed the girl and buried her or possibly had help from Brandon. When Brandon was arrested for enticement of three girls, Roberts got afraid and split.
It is also possible that they did not know each other and Roberts saw the news of Brandon being arrested and knew that the cops were on it and it would be a matter of time until he was questioned. So he left town then. Either way, these two are my suspects and Roberts as the most likely killer. Find them and you will find the truth of the death of the girl that smiled.
And yet another change on 369:
To the Police Officer that reads this: Your guilty man will be Paul Dee Roberts but you should squeeze Brandon English for what he knows. I feel there is a connection between them somehow.
496-500: Misc ramblings plus: OK, not sure if Paul Roberts is the one or the caretaker. I think the caretaker because I cannot find the address of where Roberts lived but do know that the caretaker was next door and that is what I have felt all along. I came up with Roberts because he also lived close by. My problem seems to be that I am hitting on so many slimeballs in the area it is hard to keep straight of who is who.
I know the caretaker's name and it is not Paul Roberts or anyone else named here. His name has not been made public.
(He must be getting ready to change his mind again.)
527:
We need to find the name of the caretaker and where he went. I am certain that is our man. (What about Brandon and Paul?)
539: OK, now that I feel that I have scumbag, lower than dung, smegma lips, fungus on the foot, piece of dirt nailed down as the perp, I am going to try something that I did with Duncan and Rader and work on this guy's head, to get it over with, one way or the other.
There are numerous posts after this with his rambling. Roy Ellis was arrested.He is a sex offender who once lived in the house where Amber's bookbag turned up in Februrary. He also once imprisoned a woman.
599: According to Gino and the videos, Ellis moved out back in October before the girl went missing. One thing caught my attention and Ellis did take ex-girlfriend to Hummel Park to kill her according to her neighbor. But that did not happen. This took place in Sept and I feel that the police are using this info to catch him.
However I am not so certain that is the man. Also on the videos are the calculator thing and that police had been called to the boarding house 91 times. Also three men with extensive criminal records lived there. The evidence does not add up to get Ellis, only the girlfriend's story.
639: Another "psychic" says this: "Caretaker has Amber's keychains, she had a collection of keychains attached to her backpack. Clear plastic Little Kitty is on keychain too, was her favorite, showed it to mom all the time. He plays with them. Plays with the little flashlight at night. That's how she wore makeup, it was on the keychain. Hide in plain sight. Mom didn't realize makeup was on keychains, hang down long all the keychains connected. Many girls did this too."
I called the mom on this and she said that this is not true at all. Amber had no keychains as described and thought Little Kitty was dorky.
There is another thread on the forum about missing Cynthia Day wherein another pyschic gives his/her ramblings. This is also one of my cases. I asked the daughter about it and she says she knows better than that, but apparently not.
I also told Amber's mom that I would see if any of you would go there and do some gentle, but firm correction, and she was perfectly fine with that.
Thanks,
Kelly
