Psychic's tips explored
Claim's she may know serial killer's identity
By AJAY BHARDWAJ, EDMONTON SUN

A psychic headed to Edmonton claims she may know the identity of a serial killer preying on city sex-trade workers.

And Project KARE, the two-year-old RCMP-led task force looking into the deaths and disappearances of people who led "high-risk lifestyles," says it will investigate tips generated by the psychic.

Sylvia Browne, who'll appear at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on Oct. 6, told a local radio station recently the serial killer could be caught within two months.

While the task force may not consult with Browne - a renowned author and psychic who's been featured on television programs like Unsolved Mysteries and Larry King Live - it might check out what she has to say, said an investigator.

"Every tip that comes in, we investigate it," said Project KARE Const. Tamara Bellamy, adding the force has received information from psychics in the past.

"Can you prove if they're right or wrong? Is there anyone who can say for sure that it isn't a possibility?

"Each tip gets assessed. Someone may purport to have psychic abilities in an attempt to hide how they're getting information. Any tip that comes in, we do the same systematic approach to assessing it and disseminating it to investigators to investigate it."

Cops are investigating the homicides of 41 people dating back to 1932. They're also looking for 31 missing people.

Investigators believe one person is responsible for more than one death, but not all of them.

Serial killer expert Jack Levin of Northeastern University in Boston said he's rarely seen a case where a psychic solves a case for police.

"The general conclusion is that they usually don't help," he said.

But there are exceptions, he added.

In 1990 a man killed five students at the University of Florida.

A psychic from Pennsylvania called the task force investigating and told them the killer's name was Rollins, said Levin.

"She missed by one letter. She also suggested that he was a janitor at the University of Florida, which was totally wrong," Levin said.

The killer's name was Danny Rolling.

Another psychic in the same case, this one from Louisiana, suggested the killer had used a blue liquid to clean the body.

"That turned out to be true," Levin said, adding the killer used Windex.

"Even in these cases, it was DNA and not clairvoyance that solved the case."

I recently read a very interesting book (that I can't remember the name of! >_>) by a woman who is a professional psychic. She says she has lectured at, is it Quantico? Something like that. A U.S. government place where they research serial killers. She's also taught courses at the FBI school and has successfully sued a newspaper reporter who claimed she was a fraud.

Anyway, I thought something she said was interesting. She said psychics don't solve these cases. What psychics do, sometimes, if they're genuine and things click, is give the police another source of information and more leads to check out. It's always the police, though, who solve the crimes. Psychics aren't detectives, they're tools that can sometimes be used by detectives.

It is a bit sick really, Slyvia Browne is a blatant fake, a fake beyond doubt, and yet she is still trying to seek money and fame from conning people.

^Could you provide some infromation or an artcile on how she is a fake as down here I have never heard of her or anything to do with her.

I wonder how many "tips" they had to sift through in order to get that example of a correct guess...

...I'd bet a whole lot.

This is why she is fake, and remember these are only some of her predictions.

True or False

Has a lot of her predictions.

She is mental.

Ok, she's not good on predictions! But she tells the Stories well.
My wife like Sylvia because she looks like her departed mother. The rest is good showmanship. In our opinion.
