Police turn to psychics - you what???
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Police now strongly believe Kaye Stewart was murdered and have resorted to interviewing two television psychics in a desperate search for a new lead.
 
HAH! What a waste of public money? Who came up with this beauty of an idea? He/She should resign now!
 
There is not one recorded instance in the world of a psychic solving one of these things.

It's fun to play around with the words here.

As a writer from the USA put it -
In brief, knowledgeable police officials resist the temptation to employ psychics. They know that psychic claims lack any scientific verification and that, in fact, psychics do not solve crimes. No longer should police solve crimes and let publicity-seeking occult pretenders take the credit.

My wife (who I have admitted before is a bit of a hippie) went to a psychic a couple of years ago. When she initially rang her I said that surely there shouldn't be a need to make an appointment... TheJam2008-09-05 08:27:37

I had a psychic ring me last week. She said, I know you were about to call me but I was on the phone. (Plays twilight zone music)

Your right, there are not any recorded instances where they have solved a crime, but that is because they cannot be credited for it, they can only offer new leads as you say. And if that does lead to some new information, or even better, solving the cause of death etc, then is that not a good thing?
 
I'm a skeptic, but I'm a skeptic with an open opinion of psychics and the work they do. I spent some time with one a few years back (who was used on sensing murder) and the whole thing was quite surreal. I can be cynical that the information they get is from repeated open questions and just taking leads off that, but there are also other things that were said that just plain buzzed me out.

exactly, I'm not saying I but into the whole psycic thing, but the police are never going to be able to give the credit to a psycic because it isn't real evidence. They can only follow the lead and hope to find something solid!

Why should I act so surprised that the police have done this? I mean what's the differnce between psychics and organised relgious belief?

If the police can't solve the murder why don't they just
 1 find someone, either related in someway or who was unlucky enough to be in the general
    area and who's a bit different from a policeman's idea of an average Kiwi guy
 2 come up with some dodgy DNA evidence 
 3 completely ignore any conflicting evidence
 4 plant some supportive evidence if need be
 4 then whip the media up so the jury feel obliged to go along with it?
As long as they get a conviction surely justice doesn't matter?  Especially in election year.

Don't diss Psychics. Robin was Batman's Psychic and I thought he did really well on new leads.

I think anyone who doubts this sort of thing should watch "Over her dead body".
 
Proof of the afterlife

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight
