Psychics and Missing People

My suggestion about AMW is to get a Yahoo email and start up and account just to register at AMW. Maybe a thread should be started in the General Discussion where people can pick them apart without going "off-topic" as they say on Amber's thread.[/QUOTE said:
Good idea :)

I just read Kelly's exchange with MaryJo on another forum. MaryJo doesn't seem to get the point that her friends are still missing after more than five years despite Carla Baron's "help".

The police don't claim supernatural powers and yet have been known to actually solve cases despite this handicap.

Sigh...that was the whole point of my letter to the newspaper. That, and the fact that there is ample reason to believe that Carla Baron isn't all she claims to be.

Baron claims she "saw" in her mind the murder of the Sinclairs and the disposal of their bodies. She can provide all kinds of irrelevant details. But she can't come up with a single clue that is of even the slightest use to actually solve the case -- name, license plate number, street sign, anything. She's a flat out fake, preying on the desperate and vulnerable, and I'm utterly convinced she farking well knows it.

Good God, how I detest Carla Baron.

How well I know all about the meaningless details. On the thread Luke mentioned, MerryJo never repsonded to my inquiry as to why the case remains unsolved if Carla Baron is legitimate. I fail to understand how 3 years later, one could still defend her in such strong terms.

If I had a physical malady and my doctor could not make me better, I don't think I would be putting up with it for 3 years before I sought help with someone qualified.

I sincerely hope this does not come across as mean-spirited or insulting to MerryJo. These are valid questions.

I wonder if MerryJo's reasoning is that the killer is still at large, so at worst Carla Baron is no more ineffective than the police. Of course, they aren't claiming they can speak directly with the murder victim herself.

Imagine a police force that had access to an eyewitness who saw the murder, saw the disposal of the bodies, and personally knew both the victim and the killer, yet they still couldn't solve the case. No one would have any faith at all in such an incompetent force. Yet this is precisely what Carla Baron claims she can do. How can anyone continue to defend her?

MerryJo says she will not be coming back here. It appears she is unwilling to entertain the possibility that she, and the family of Tina and Bethany, is wrong about psychics being capable of solving missing person's cases. She was very gracious in her refusal. I offered her some real help, and I hope she (and the family) will take me up on it, despite our differences in opinion on this matter.

I followed this link, and read MerryJo's postings. When I read her first note, I felt badly that my letter upset the Sinclair family, especially so soon after their recent loss. However, that was followed by a renewed conviction that writing it was the right thing to do.

My motives in sending the letter were threefold. First, I wanted to take my local newspaper to task for publishing such an uncritical and one-sided article. Second, I wanted to point out that Carla Baron may not be all she claims. Third (and most important), I wanted to inform people in my area of you and your work on behalf of the families of missing persons. I believe these are worthy reasons, and collectively justify my letter (although given the recent family tragedy, I would have delayed its publication until a more appropriate time).

I hope it goes without saying that I never intended a single word of criticism for the Sinclair family. Were I in their shoes, I very well might have the same opinion of Carla Baron as they do. After all, here is someone who claims she can provide the one thing in the whole world I desire most: the ability to communicate with my lost loved ones. How could I not fervently hope that she's the real deal? But as for the Carla Barons of the world, I do not have a sufficiently evolved vocabulary to adequately convey the depth and breadth of my anger and disgust for them.
