Psychics take centerstage
Psychics take centerstage
Whether psychics can help in criminal investigations is debatable, but here are a few examples where their influence might have been right on:
1956: Parade magazine quoted astrologer to the stars Jeane Dixon as predicting that a Democratic president - tall, with blue eyes and brown hair - elected in 1960 would die in office. According to Dixon she had told interviewers the president would be assassinated, but the magazine refused to publish that information.
President John. F. Kennedy was shot dead Nov. 22, 1963, by Lee Harvey Oswald while riding in motorcade in Dallas, Texas.
1982: Dorothy Nickerson called a store in Arizona warning it would be robbed the next evening. Acting on this tip, police arrested an armed man who had been loitering nearby.
Whether he had planned to rob the store is anyone's guess - Nickerson had envisioned two men committing the robbery - but once a crime is foiled, who can say what would have happened?
1994: Two years after 76-year-old Florida resident Norman Lewis vanished, police called on celebrity psychic Noreen Renier. She has a vision of Lewis' red truck along with loose bricks, a cliff wall, railroad tracks and a bridge. This led investigators to a rock quarry where divers found Lewis's red truck with his skeletal remains inside.
