Psychic Seeking Fame and Fortune, Enters Caylee Anthony Case
August 14, 2008
It was only a matter of time before some "psychic" would crawl out from under a rock to get involved in the case of Casey Anthony and her missing 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony. Cases like these are generally a big draw for these individuals because they provide them with opportunities to bask in the media spotlight. Publicity equals money (or so they hope) and, for the majority of these kinds of people, that is their single motivating factor.
This week, self-professed "psychic detective" Gale St. John made it known that, despite the fact that no one has invited her, she is searching for Caylee. According to WFTV.com, St. John has said that Caylee is somewhere in Orlando, near a lake, surrounded by trees and wildflowers. It's as though this isn't something that - minus the mention of "trees and flowers" - hasn't already been the subject of speculation in the media since the beginning of the investigation.
In addition to her supposed revelation, St. John made sure to inform WFTV.com that she is in need of donations so that she can afford to continue the search - although she was quick to point out that she would not be making a "profit."
"Geez, I wish I wasn't losing my house right now. So, if I'm making a profit somehow, it's not doing me a lot of good," she said.
It remains unclear why, other than for sympathy, she would have felt it necessary to mention her current housing problem.
St. John also made it a point to pimp her low budget TV show, The Body Hunter, which will supposedly air on cable in the near future. Must see TV, I'm sure.
On St. John's Web site, which I am not going to link to here, the Caylee Anthony case is listed at the top of the page, along with the following text: "If anyone wishes to help pay for travel expenses they can do so by clicking on the donate button below."
She also provides a link to a Web site for Brian Thomas Ladd, a controversial "psychic" who I've discussed here before.
During a separate interview with WESH.com, St. John said that she has a special ability to track people.
"It's the signature that you would leave when you walk into a room and leave. If I put a blindfold on and each one of you walk[s] in the room after I've been near you, I can tell who you are. You leave that vibration, that signature. Some of the things we do is going on a blind drive where you don't look at streets, you go completely on signature. Tracking and following just like a dog would track, only instead of smelling it, we feel it," St. John said.
Similarly, I too have an ability – the ability to pick up on the distinctive smell of a rat, and right now, there is an overpowering stench in the air.
Over the years, I have covered countless missing person cases, and I have yet to witness a single one in which a psychic has helped to reunite a family with a missing loved one or assisted in the discovery of the bodies of deceased individuals. Period.
If St. John truly is "psychic," then she can kiss her money woes goodbye by taking the Million-Dollar Challenge" that is being offered by the James Randi Educational Foundation. The foundation is offering a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show "under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event." The challenge is ongoing and will continue until March 6, 2010. To date, not a single person has passed the preliminary test.
How about it, St. John? Are you up to it?

Geez! Who gives a crap if she say's she's a psychic or not. If you don't believe it don't donate money to her. Atleast she's out actually looking for Caylee. If my child was missing I'd want everyone looking for her, even "psychics".
Posted by: S. | August 13, 2008 at 06:02 PM
The first time I ever heard of her was when I googled about the Anthony case. You also failed to mention how she was rude enough at the end of her interview on WFTV that she wasn't "doing nothing" about a missing child. Don't quote me on that, but it was outrageous to even suggest it nationwide, as if others don't give a poo! [not sure if I was able to put what I really wanted to type in place of poo]
I began reading your site last night. You've got me hooked! Thanks for being so honest with the public & of course, your opinions.

Plus, if she is psychic, why would she need the special trained dogs? She seems fishy to me.
Posted by: Lori | August 13, 2008 at 06:06 PM
David, with all due respect, I think that is a little harsh. At least they are trying to help in a situation where most of us are just sitting here waiting for the answers to be posted. Even if her "powers" are not what we all believe in, she does have cadaver dogs with her and that alone is invaluable.
Posted by: Diana | August 13, 2008 at 06:20 PM
S - I give a "crap" because these "psychics" do nothing more than provide false hope to the families of missing persons.
Lori - I agree. Furthermore, I would like to know how these dogs are trained for this. lol.
Catherine - Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you enjoy the site :-)

Diana,
I am sorry if you consider my post harsh, but time and time again I have witnessed "psychics" do nothing but further the pain and suffering of missing persons.
They have their own agenda and I can assure you it comes first before anyone elses.

If she is a "psychic" why doesn't she play the Lottery for money? Doesn't she know who would donate money!
Posted by: el why | August 13, 2008 at 06:34 PM
She is asking for a $1500 donation for her team to go and search. Considering she drove across the country to get there, I doubt she is in it for profit. I don't really buy into the psychic phenomenon but I will say I truly believe that these people believe in what they are doing and care enough to actually do something about this missing child rather than speculate about her manipulative spoiled brat of a mother.
Posted by: V | August 13, 2008 at 06:59 PM
Further regarding your comments about "false hope" St. John's team already feels that the child is dead - not sure what kind of "false hope" that would provide anyone.
Posted by: V | August 13, 2008 at 07:01 PM
V, Sorry, but she does not ONLY want $1,500. You watch, that donation link will remain on her site during this entire case.
Also, I disagree. I do not believe for a minute that she is doing this out of the goodness of her heart. If that were the case then she would have had no need to reach out to the media or to set up interviews. She wants the attention and hopes it will further her career.
Don't get me wrong, if she is dumb lucky and stumbles upon something than great. But to suggest it has something to do with "psychic" powers is absurd.

"Further regarding your comments about "false hope" St. John's team already feels that the child is dead - not sure what kind of "false hope" that would provide anyone."
It certainly does provides false hope to other families. Don't you get it, this is an advertising campaign. She is hoping to get her name out there so other families will think she is gifted and will pay her. They ALL do this. Do some research on the subject and you will see that this happens EVERY time the media covers one of these major cases.
Posted by: David Lohr | August 13, 2008 at 07:10 PM
Look, I certainly agree with your point of view and I am naturally suspicious of those who claim to have "psychic powers." I doubt very much I would ever consult a psychic if, God forbid, something should happen to someone close to me. I also agree she is probably not doing this entirely "out of the goodness of her heart" as you say. But honestly, from a completely "devil's advocate" standpoint, I don't see the problem with someone doing what they need to do to further their career, beyond an immoral or illegal action. Counselors, nurses and doctors are all in the industry of helping people, they still need to make a living and we don't fault them for it. People usually don't have a job unless there is a need or desire for it, unfortunately.(not to say that people who pander to false hopes aren't dispicable)That point being made, you won't see me at a Tarot card reading any time soon! :)
Posted by: V | August 13, 2008 at 07:30 PM
V, I respect your opinion, I just have a problem with people who claim to have fictional powers. At least a doctor can actually do something worth while...in most cases anyway ;)
Posted by: David Lohr | August 13, 2008 at 07:34 PM
I do not believe in psychics

I ain't no psychic but:
Casey must be!
She says " I know who has her"
Then to her mother she says" How the {F-bomb} do I know where the [ F-bomb ] she is?"
She is "Close To Home" "My gut feeling is she is safe"
Casey can't tell us because:
The family is in danger
Casey is in danger
Caylee will be put in danger.
Casey while her child is missing decides to be nice and barrow a shovel to clear bamboo ,like a good girl..oh but wait! She does not care that her daughter went missing,she has time to break into the shed and steal gas too..aw but don't all good girls do that?
oh, also Casey decides to go do her own detective work
looking for the "Nasty nanny" who parties while she is watching Caylee?
oh but wait!
The car she has been driving runs out of gas so she leaves it at a parking lot...where it draws tons and tons of flies?
oh what?
nobody wanted to steal a fly infested stinking to high heaven car? With a purse sitting on the front seat?
The car she told her then boyfriend that her father was going to come pick up?
What?
A tow truck company is called to tow it away?
the sent out a certified letter to the Anthony family?it was posted on the door, nobody saw it till what? june 15th?
Then her mother smells the car freaks!
Washes the stinky slacks left on the back of the car floor.
But hey!
Casey is a good mother....
She is smiling in every picture of her with Caylee...but if you look closely
Caylee isn't in all of them..she has a look of what?
Get me outta here!
Oh, back to Casey & her psychic abilities.
She says predicts that 'We will find Caylee"
She did not say safe ????

Gale was well-known before this case. She's worked on many cases. If you don't believe in what she is doing, then don't but if not harm is being done, then what is your concern? People like to sensationalize the term 'psychic.' Many automatically draw upon a woman reading palms at the carnival. The fact is that we ALL have this ability on some level. Have you ever had a "hunch" about something? Did your intuition ever point you in the right direction? Did you ever get a "bad" feeling about someone? I'm guessing you've all had these experiences at one point or another.
Psychics are just feeding on that same thing only they've tapped into it in a much more effective way. Some spend years cultivating this ability. That's also why they're not always right and that's exactly why they can't pick lottery numbers. They're going off of what's around them. Mistakes are easily made when there's too much information or human emotions get in the way. Have you ever stood next to someone who you were certain was very angry and yet, they really weren't displaying it on the outside? Have you studied physics? Yep. It's all about energy. Yes, you were feeling the anger which was just energy. Okay, have you ever assumed that someone was angry only to find out that you were completely wrong? Yep. That's your life experience and human emotions leading you astray. It's normal. It's not new age. It's not hocus pocus. It's just human instincts. We were much better at this thousands of years ago when we were more dependent on our animal instincts.
The fact is that we are all connected and if we weren't out there being so bitter and judgmental everyday, the world would be a much better place. In the meantime, ask yourself exactly "why" you are so offended by Gale St. John? And then, spend some time studying physics in addition to the power of the brain all which will be available in the science section of your local library.

I forgot this too.
Casey knows lots of "imaginary people". One is a baysitter, two are friends at her [former job ]she was fired from two years ago.
But somehow she told them how upset she was that Caylee was kidnapped!
plus she spent lots of time on everybody's computers & phones!
Yes she is a good friend.daughter, all around great MOM!
She goes out dancing and drinking with friends.
instead of calling police the day her daughter went missing,she waits for 31 days..
She is such a great MOM...

I think you need to lighten up on Gale. She has been doing this for over 30 years and has been successful in finding missing people. She drove over 1200 miles with a group of 3 other highly intuitive people and 2 dogs to help look for a missing child. I wouldn't be able to take a week off work to do that so personally I think the $1500 she was hoping to get to cover travel / lodging is a non issue. Society has conditioned everyone to not believe in psychic ability and bash it. I think people need to look up the definition. At a minimum, I think we can accept that there are people out there that are highly intuitive. So really, what's wrong with 4 highly intuitive people and 2 search dogs spending a week looking for a missing girl. Why don't you spend some time with Gale on a case before you judge her ability and her personal motives?
Posted by: Jane | August 13, 2008 at 10:25 PM
Really, do police, detectives, profilers, etc., not use "gut feelings" and intuition to solve cases? Seriously, do we not all use such "devices" in our every day life? I hear very few psychics, mediums, etc., claim they have all the answers to our questions. If you listen, what many say is they can help provide puzzle pieces. Yes, there are many people out in society scamming others, but scammers are almost in every profession. I would love to be out there searching for all missing children, but I have to make a living to support my family and myself. Unfortunately, I would not have a job if I took a week or so off to go search for the missing. I am sure there are very few "wealthy psychics" who can afford to take time off and fund "searches" on their own and those you should be leary of, IF they would go out there at all. If I had a missing loved one, it wouldn't matter to me what a person's profession was just so long as they cared enough to help me search. You do not have to be a believer in "fictional powers" to appreciate someone's help in a traumatic time like this. If this is her forte, why not advertise if she is able...you advertise you writing or I might not have ever find this site. But wait, maybe the mother will come to her senses and tell investigators the truth...NOT. I'm glad that someone out there is trying to find Caylle, "fictional powers" or not!

Rhonda - if she is truly psychic, or anyone else is for that matter, then why not take the test and prove it? Or, name for me one case, that you can back up with factual proof, in which a psychic has led police directly to a missing person or dead body.
Posted by: David Lohr | August 13, 2008 at 11:11 PM
Jane - read my previous comments and you will find out what I think is "wrong with it."
Posted by: David Lohr | August 13, 2008 at 11:15 PM
Well, I for one am glad she is out looking (whether drawing attention to herself or not) That is more than most people. Do I belive in psychics? yep...I am one. Do I believe there are quite a number of charlatans ready to cash in..absolutely! I have met many. What many people fail to understand (even most psychics) is that they all get info in different ways and are interpreting energy. Most mistakes come in the interpretation. My first try at missing person was Chandra Levy case. I sat down and did my thing (not knowing what to do for a missing person I did what I thought I was lead to do) and I saw 3 things. 1)the Rocky Mtns on a map of the US. 2)Yosemite National park 3) trees, shrubs and grass. My first instinct was "hey she's in the Rocky mountains!" nope! I didn't think she was but had no idea from what I saw. Many months went by and I forgot about it until I ran across an article about her. Unknown to me, she was found and in Rock State Park in some weeds/shrubs. I pulled out my session I had written and was blown away. I could clearly see the elements in my vision. (Rocky Mtns)for "Rock" and Yosemite for National or State park. Trees, shrubs and grass was where he body was hidden. Now, at the time had I given that info to anybody, it would have meant nothing but I see how my subconsious used images I was familiar with because I had no reference for Rock State Park..never been there or heard of it. Now, on to Caylee. I did my thing and saw 2 things which made absolutely NO sense. 1) I saw a white falcon with a crest on its head (falcon crest?) and then a Mere cat? sticking its head out of a burrow hole. You got me on what it means. I tried further to make sense of it and came up with things like "Crestemere" (maybe a street?) Then I just went on gut instinct and saw her using the gas cans to burn clothing or the body and bury it in a freshly made grave in a cemetery (someone else's grave that had just died) I looked at a map of Orlando, found the place her car was abandoned and low and behold there is a cemetery just north and west of that area. Maybe not a mile. If I had true police connections, I would look there just to satisfy my own mind. If I could go there, that would be my first search.
Don't know what the point of all that is, but I do know I am no charlatan (and know many who aren't). I helped find 1 person (runaway) and was referred by a friend to a woman I never met who's daughter was murdered. I told her things I saw and she looked at me like I was crazy then said "how on earth could you possibly know those things! only the police and myself know them right now!!" I never heard if they caught him or solved it, I guess not or she would probably have contacted me. Anyway, don't be so judgemental on all (which is hard to do). But do I think this psychic is trying for some airtime....yep, I do. But if she is looking with dogs or others, then it is more than most of us are doing other than bashing the ones who are.

David- First off, I’d like to preface this by stating that I don’t know Gale St. John and I am unfamiliar with her past. Also, let's be very clear: James Randi is challenging people who claim to have paranormal, magical or use powers of the occult. This is quite different from what I discussed in my above post. However; if you're going to use James Randi's argument of "lack of proof" as the basis of your argument then I'll assume that you are an atheist? Because James Randi also applies this same logic to God, Jesus Christ and all things related to religion. James Randi has written many essays discounting religious beliefs. I understand why you point to James Randi. His argument is logical but it's irresponsible to take his views out of context for sole purpose of discrediting a woman for whom you know little. If you accept James Randi's view of psychics, then you accept his similar views to religion. There's no absolute proof. Let's be honest, such an argument can be applied to almost anything. Are you also skeptical of Stephen Hawking's theories? What about Einstein? The question of 'How did Einstein do it?" has been an ongoing debate for years. Do you think he was a fraud? The entire Universe, its beginning and its current state have yet to be definitively explained. Yes, there are people who claim to have powers that well-exceed their abilities but to make this assumption about all psychics is a broad, generalized and unfounded view. My advice is to research the psychic’s track record. Does this person have a history of fraud? Has she/he had success in the past?
In terms of proof relating to police, homicide detectives have been reaching out to psychics for years. If you Google the topic, you'll find endless arguments for and against. There are, indeed, a number of detectives who claim success from their use of a psychic. The problem, say critics, is that the information provided by the psychic is often too general and that "anyone could have come up with the same information." That's a fair statement, but is it an effective argument against it? Not really. To me, it's the same person who says, "My kid could have painted that" while looking at a Jackson Pollack painting which escapes his understanding. The fact is, his kid didn't paint it and that homicide detective had exhausted his leads. There are people in this world who are capable of the extraordinary. It doesn't mean that they're super-human or super-natural. They're just using a little bit more of their brain. Asking questions is appropriate but to be completely dismissive is careless.
From what I've read, Gale St. John was flooded with email requests begging her to get involved in the case. If you visit her website, there are links to the many requests sent to her team. She didn't just pick up and go. I also don't believe that she contacted the press. As you know, every reporter is looking for their own story and the more incendiary the better. So, yes-I agree that there are a huge number of frauds out there but it's hardly limited to the world of psychics (as someone else stated above).
Posted by: Rhonda | August 14, 2008 at 02:09 AM
David, great post. I'm not sure what my feelings are on those they claim they are psychic. Correct me if I'm wrong (I very well could be) but didn't a psychic aid in finding the young men in the Gacy case? Of course, they weren't found alive...but I thought it was a psychic that helped that investigation. Maybe I've watched too many flicks with Brian Dennehy in them!
I find it troubling that St. John felt the need to share her financial woes with the media. However, maybe she was trying to drive a point home: She's broke, but she traveled from Ohio(?) to search for Caylee. Meanwhile, comfortable, middle class Orlando families have done very little to organize a massive joint-effort search.
Posted by: FutonFraggle | August 14, 2008 at 03:56 AM
It is very frustrating as it is to watch this case and there are no answers for where the little girl is -- and now this psychic comes on the case -- and what exactly is she contributing to the search? The psychic doesn't seem to know anything either. I watch Nancy Grace asking the psychic questions and the psychics answers seem so vague. She really isn't telling us anything we don't already know. What exactly is her purpose? I just don't see it!
Posted by: Adele | August 14, 2008 at 08:42 AM
If she is psychic why doesn't she just pick the winning
Lottery numbers and her financial problems will go away ?
Posted by: DMS | August 14, 2008 at 09:44 AM
Rhonda - I appreciate your comments, but you make a lot of claims that cannot be backed up. Yes, detectives have used psychics, but that is not proof of their powers.
Also, just because I find James Randi's test interesting does not mean I agree with all of his theories or beliefs.
View the Website for all the details about the test. Randi has even publicly challenged Sylvia Browne to take it. She initially agreed but to date has refused to go through with it.
I agree to disagree.

You are talking about Dorothy Allison, a woman who claimed to tell police where one of the bodies would be found. She made some very vague guesses, which were later over hyped in books and movies.
Posted by: David Lohr | August 14, 2008 at 10:14 AM
To Tim that sounds like a excellent idea about a newely dug grave. i do not think anyone is truly psychic but everyone has a good idea or two that are worth mentioning. And a so called Psychic does raise false hope, even if little Caylee is dead the family would like the body so they can have closure. i agree with David let her take the test what can it hurt? I have never heard of a Physcic finding a body either. i am not saying it is not possible, i just have never heard of it

Posted by: anonymous | August 14, 2008 at 10:28 AM
My problem with psychics in cases like this is that they do little to help. When Michael Devlin took Shawn Hornbeck, a very famous psychic told his parents he was dead.
Today he has been reunited with his parents and is rebuilding his life.
They can provide false hope, they can provide lost hope, and in either case, do little good. We don't need the added attention of a wing nut to bring the case to the forefront. We have the media, the internet, and crime bloggers to assist in keeping these cases front and center.
People like this are just trying to cash in on a very tragic situation, tragic for Caylee and the grandparents who will have to live with whatever has come of their granddaughter. I can only imagine the hell they are going through.
God be with them and Caylee.

To Julie, thanks! I must also say that I didn't believe in psychics either until I woke up one day having these experiences. Why? no clue but my personal feelings is that we are witnessing human evolution at a fast pace. Evolution is happening every day but at some point there is that "leap" and I think we are experiencing it now. More people are having experiences, seeing, hearing things that we just can't explain. Everyone is certainly entitled to their beliefs but (and it is hard to convey tone through text so I am not being rude when I say this)yours or anyone else's BELIEFS have absolutely no bearing on what is reality. You can believe that pastors and priest are men (and women) called from God and people BELIEVE they can do no wrong but that has no bearing on them being pedophiles and going against what most would consider being "godly" (just an example) One day you might, yourself, wake up to find you having feelings and seeing visions and hearing things..then when you go to many countless doctors to find out if you are shcizo and not one thing can they find wrong with you, you might understand what many others experience. I was told once (when I didn't believe in psychics) "have you ever been to one?" and I said NO! of course not..they are fakes! This person said "how can you make that decision if you never have?" so I went..to many . I was ripped off by some and blown so away by some that I still to this day cannot explain the DETAILED information that was given. The true psychics that DO work with police, you will never hear about and there is a reason for that. They don't want their name tarnished by silly childlike bashing simply because it doesn't fit one's belief system. If they were found to be helping so many police find missing persons and criminals, it would just be a matter of time before someone tried to kill them. I only know, personally, of one team of psychics who police use on their cases but its very private for the reasons mentioned. After all, the point is to find Caylee. I just pray she is found alive but if that is not the case, then I hope justice finds the guilty party involved.
Posted by: Tim | August 14, 2008 at 11:55 AM
There are some fake psychics out there but I know for a fact some are real. Most real physics try to keep it on a low profile because the harsh reality is being psychic isn't fun or rewarding in any way. It's a scary day to day life facing things most others would never even begin to realize exists in our world. Is she a fake... I don't know. Are all psychics fake.. nope. Let's just hope some good comes out of all of this and little Caylee is found alive!
Posted by: Sara | August 14, 2008 at 12:20 PM
I 100% agree with David on this one. Most of the people speculating on this message board are going to have the same "predictions" about where Caylee is that this psychic will in the end.
Posted by: Angie | August 14, 2008 at 01:01 PM
well weather you believe in psychics or not i do think they are actually on to something, i have been to there sight and alot of what they say makes sense, and i pray they find her and then you can all keep your mouths shut, you sit here and blog daily but do you actually get out and look for caylee? some even probobly live close enough to where you could asctually join in on the search. but do you no you just sit here and mouth how this "psychic" weather she may or may not be, is just doing it for the money. well shes not i have read the sight as i said and all it was for was travell expenses, and also if you looked at you would know there not just going on what they feel they have the dogs bc they are tracking every area they can get into, weather they have a feeling shes there or not, so either quit criticing and do something yourself or have a hopefull heart no matter what person is looking for this poor child THAT SHE IS JUST FOUND AND BROUGHT HOME!!!

Posted by: impqueen | August 14, 2008 at 03:20 PM
Well now the case has taken on an even greater circus atmosphere with all the psychics tripping over each other to grab the limelight. True psychics, and yes I believe unexplainedly there are some, work quietly behind the scenes assisting families or law enforcement. Probably most of us who are so impassioned by this case also believe we have feelings as to where this little girl's body lies buried. I've been tempted myself to go over to Jay BLanchard Park or another parklike setting, because I believe that's where Casey placed her, hence needing a shovel. Casey may have even had a private burial ceremony which she commemorates afterwards online. As to Casey using gas cans to burn her daughter, I don't believe even Casey, as whacked as she seems would burn her child's body. If Caylee's dead it could have been a neglectful accident. If Caylee was murdered, female killers usually use poison or drowning to murder. Boyfriends/husbands/dad killers use fire more to kill, or after death to burn their victims out of disrespect. Often intense love turns into intense hate. I think soon investigators will find Caylee, assisted by the cell phone pings and triangulation. Or we may be surprised soon when Casey finally breaks down and admits the whole bizarre nanny/kidnappers/missing child case was created out of desperation after a terrible accident. Casey may be still too afraid to come clean to detectives but I think she has already confided in either Cindy or George about what has happened, because George who was initially very quiet is starting to speak even more than Cindy, and he's also starting to loose it.

Tim, let me just say, there is a Falcon crest in Clermont Florida and a Windermere in the general vicinity, of Orlando. i do believe in intuition, if that counts

Julie, I got CHILLS all over my body when I saw your reply. I hadn't even thought to look for that and it's not far away, although it is a tiny street it is right on a large lake. Also when I typed in "falcon crest" I must had done something wrong because I almost wet myself when I saw "Falcon Way in Crestmere, Florida" come up on the map. Granted it is far north in Florida but still those 2 names in the same state. Anyway, i see that you did some research with what I stated and in a way, I'm honored someone would take the time to do that. However, I doubt seriously that it has anything to do with this case, but like I said, I have witnesses strange things in my life. Time will certainly tell if anything could be made of it in hindsight. you are a nice person! :)

Has everybody forgotten there is a quarter of a million up for grabs here in reward money. Im sure that would help St.Johns housing situation greatly.

I have known a few psychics in my day and have seen some on TV. I know of only one that I would trust in because of personal experience.....BUT, I would like to add that "Sylvia Brown" is not the one that I believe in. Sylvia Brown is a phony that has become rich off of peoples emotions and the loss of loved ones. Sylvia Brown is despicable. She has caused me to stop watching the Montel Williams show...I wish I knew what his connection is with her...He has to know that she is the bissest phony of them all.

Has the group given up or are they still looking? I don't think going purely on guts isgoing to work...Have they gone to the areas where the alleged pings came from?

LOL... Mmmm.... I am sensing a body near a lake, with trees, and flowers.... now if that is not a common we can find it everywhere description I don't know what is...mmmm....I am sensing lots of trees and birds!!! Search there!!!

If she's so interested in attracting media attention, why has she twice canceled an interview with Nancy Grace to instead work on the search? Even if Nancy were to tear her apart, bad publicity is still publicity, right?

I can't say if this lady has any real psychic powers. The one thing I can say is that she's obviously doing more than the mother. The same mother who became very upset that family was asking where her child was. And it certainly isn't any different than the "Bounty Hunter". All he's trying to do is promote. He's a joke to watch on television.
I'm not a psychic nor bounty hunter, but I know if Casey had any interest in finding her daughter she would have spoke up before now. Like 5 minutes after she realized her daughter was god knows where. At least that's what I would have done, but then again I would actually care if one of my children were missing.And as hard as it would be I'd stay out of the clubs if for appearances only. *rolleyes
If this mother caused harm to her child and I hope that isn't the case. I hope they punish her in the worst way.

Well apparently this woman doesn't have any special powers after all since Caylee has not been found. I'm so shocked, I really believed in her. NOT! First of all if this loon is a psychic she would have had no problem locating Caylee and she certainly would not need dogs to help her. This lady is only in this for herself. I just can't believe there are people out there that are stupid enough to believe in this kind of stuff. There have been reports that she is losing her house. She is desperate.
