Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of the “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, remains missing. While authorities have released footage of a suspect and interviewed persons of interest in the case, it remains unresolved.
Is now the time for amateurs to provide backup? Some people think so.
Across the internet, people claiming to have supernatural powers are offering their services in the hopes of moving the needle. In Facebook groups, TikTok comment sections, and Twitter posts, self-described mediums are volunteering help to Guthrie’s desperate family.
This is not unusual. Whenever a case turns cold or feels especially tragic, mediums often show up – uninvited by police, but welcomed by grieving loved ones looking for answers. Let’s take a closer look at how this works, who’s involved, and whether there’s any truth to the idea of “psychic detectives.”
How Psychics Claim to Help
Psychics and mediums who assist in criminal cases say they receive information in ways that aren’t visible to the rest of us. Some report vivid visions. Others hold objects that once belonged to the missing person, claiming they pick up emotional or physical “imprints.” Mediums may say they’re speaking directly to the deceased, or receiving impressions in flashes or dreams.
In practice, this could mean identifying an important location on a map, describing a suspect, or sharing symbols or phrases that are meaningful to the victim’s family. None of this information is admissible in court, but for some families (and occasionally, some detectives) psychic input can spark action or offer comfort when nothing else seems to work.
Of course, skeptics say it’s all guesswork and cold reading. And critics say these services can easily become predatory. One Twitter user relayed his experience when his daughter went missing:
But criticism of their craft hasn’t stopped psychics from getting involved – and, in a few cases, (seemingly) getting it right. Let’s explore some prominent cases where psychics claimed to influence the outcome.
5 Notable Cases Where Psychics Got Involved
1. Frank St. James – Nicole Arochas (New Jersey)
In 1996, when 22‑year‑old Nicole Arochas disappeared after a night out, her family was desperate for answers. According to media accounts and episodes of Psychic Investigators, her parents turned to psychic Frank St. James for help when conventional leads went cold.
St. James claimed to connect with Nicole’s spirit, which pointed him to a marshy area “close to home” – a description that aligned with where her body was eventually found. Whether coincidence or intuition, the case became one of the more cited examples of a psychic crossing over from the private to public sphere in an active missing person situation.
2. Phil Jordan – Tommy Kennedy (Tioga County, NY)
In 1975, after 5‑year‑old Tommy Kennedy vanished from his home in upstate New York, his family consulted psychic Phil Jordan. Jordan reportedly produced a hand‑drawn map based on visions or impressions, then guided searchers to a wooded area where the boy was found cold and exhausted, but alive.
The case has been passed around psychic detective lore as an example of “intuition leading to discovery,” though some law enforcement figures emphasize that official efforts were already combing similar areas.
3. Annette Martin – Dennis Prado (California)
California psychic Annette Martin has often been quoted in paranormal investigation circles for her involvement in the search for Dennis Prado in 1997. After police shared a map and photograph of the missing man with Martin, she marked a location she felt was significant – reportedly leading search teams directly to Prado’s remains.
Martin’s work was later featured in media discussions about the role psychics sometimes play when traditional investigative methods stall, though official police statements in the case remain limited and sometimes contradictory.
4. Rosemarie Kerr – Andre Daigle (Louisiana)
Rosemarie Kerr is one of the more frequently cited names in psychic detective lore. Following the disappearance of Andre Daigle in Louisiana in 1987, family members employed Kerr and gave her a map of the area. Kerr reportedly told them that Daigle was dead and circled a spot on the map where they should look for his abandoned truck.
Authorities did, in fact, recover Daigle’s body and vehicle in that general area days later. Kerr later became the first psychic to testify in a criminal trial.
5. Allison DuBois – The Psychic Behind Medium
This one isn’t about a particular case, but many. Allison DuBois is perhaps the best‑known “psychic detective” in recent American culture, though not because of a specific crime – DuBois’s experiences reportedly inspired the hit TV series Medium starring Patricia Arquette.
DuBois has assisted law enforcement in Arizona and Texas on numerous occasions, offering impressions of victims’ final moments or personal details that matched case files. These cases later became the basis for the television series.
While some critics say the stories are more “Hollywood” than reality, there’s no doubt that DuBois helped popularize the idea that psychics can play a role in high-profile criminal investigations.
Real Power or Powerful Scam?
Stories like these can be compelling, even chilling. But do psychics really help solve crimes?
That depends on whom you ask.
Many in law enforcement remain deeply skeptical. Police departments often go out of their way to clarify that they do not consult psychics as a matter of protocol. Others have accused psychics of exploiting vulnerable families for money or attention – offering vague “leads” that go nowhere, or worse, misdirect investigations.
Skeptics point out that many so-called successes are exaggerated in hindsight. If a psychic says a body will be found near “water,” and it’s later discovered near a drainage ditch, does that count?
And yet… some families say psychic help brought them peace. A few detectives have admitted that intuitive hunches – however they arrive – can spark breakthroughs. When traditional methods fail, people are willing to look anywhere for answers.
What are your thoughts? Have you ever followed a case where a psychic got involved? Do you believe their powers are real?

I can often, almost always tell when & how someone passed on &/or where they are. Example: I can look at spot through the TV screen & know (correctly) at that tree/place etc. a kid was killed in a drive by shooting etc. (true example). I don’t want money, attention or fame. I want nothing. But, I don’t get involved. I get images, mind photo replays of places etc. I don’t lucid dream about these things (unless I try & go for a vivid dream). I think a majority of these psychics are full of it especially if asking for money, preying on people’s losses, only in famous cases etc. I’ve not been wrong to date that I can recall. From Boston marathon, MH-370, to most recently with Nancy G. (we’ll see if I’m wrong). I write things down as I get them. I ask questions then date it. So we’ll see… I think police should solve first. When all other investigative methods are exhausted, if a medium/psychic/Seer wants to truly help, do it for free. If they actually find the person the loved one’s can pay them. I think people shouldn’t exploit & should help for free. I feel bad for the family & loved ones. Pastor K.Scott

Many people experience "deja vu", a memory of the future. Some are able to see more detail than just a feeling. This higher resolution usually happens in dreams when external distractions are absent. I have experienced this several times but dismissed it as "just" a dream. The one time I followed up on a particularly realistic "dream", I went straight to the missing subject, saving his life. Had he remained unprotected any longer, his body temperature would have fallen too low for survival or later hospital rewarming. Several more dreams have turned out to be remarkably accurate. This "ability" is not controllable by me, but happens sporadically and totally unintentially. Gift of prophesy? Celestial prevue of coming attractions? Don't have a clue, but I take dreams more seriously. It freaks me out, but it's unexplainably real. Cheers

When I was younger, I was very psychic. I was upset about it though. Couldn’t talk to anyone about it, so I pushed it away. I think “psychics” should only talk to the police and not the family. They certainly shouldn’t be collecting any money or fame for it. I think it is a tragedy that at times children feel something “bad” will happen at school but are forced to go and something”bad” does indeed happen psychicnes is like watching a squirrel run up a tree. You can basically guess which branch the squirrel will take, but not with 100% accuracy.

Investigations should be 100% science and fact based. Allowing these fakes to be involved in a criminal investigation or any investigation should in itself be a federal crime and every single person involved in allowing it to take place should be prosecuted for fraud. This is the kind of fraud that puts innocent people in jail, prison and on death row. Not to mention persecuted by their community.

Cam Kirmser
I do not believe they can solve any crimes, despite X-Files episodes to the contrary.
But, if a police department thinks they can help, it's their business, if they want to clog up the investigative works with false expectations.
However, it may be possible that what one calls "psychic ability" might be some unique brain wiring that allows the individual to process information at a higher level, giving them, what may seem to be, supernatural powers when all it is, is the ability to match observed data points - consciously and subconsciously - with a higher success rate.
For example, women have, on average, a corpus callosum with a larger cross section than a male's. This enables their brain halves to better communicate and process data. It may be responsible for what is commonly called, "women's intuition." They just have better insights than men - on average. But, it's just biology. Perhaps an extreme case of this increased insight is interpreted by some as "psychic."

Psychics don’t have a “special” power. We all come to this planet with these abilities. In many ways most everyone has “gut” instincts, intuitions, strong guidance from Guides and Angels. Some Souls have it in their life plan to pursue and refine abilities to help others. For those with a true purpose in this, it is a tricky road. You don’t want to to be wrong, when you do happen to connect with a Soul on the other side or have a vision that is verified and absolutely correct you are driven. It’s like exploring outer space! Psychic abilities, remote viewing and other abilities have been studied and confirmed. On the flip side, some people get carried away in the “trendiness” of the attention, money making possibilities, etc. That being said, if If my family member was missing in a frightening case and a psychic offered they had information but you must pay…I would turn them down. …and I am a psychic medium❤️. Ps Even true psychics are not always right. It is a fluid Universe out there filled with all kinds of possibilities!

Some can, if they are actually psychic. No psychic is 100% correct but if they are good they can give insights and options for investigators to check that might otherwise be overlooked or undiscovered all together. It takes time to weed out the scammers from the actual psychics though. Some are very good at fast talking their way through the sessions they have and charge ridiculous prices for their services.

We all have that "gut instinct" that we tend to follow. Mine kicks in with different people, and I haven't been wrong yet. I just get the feeling someone can't be trusted. Unfortunately it has encompassed a majority of people.
So that being said I feel everyone can tap into that "feeling" in their own way. To call it psychic is giving it too much credit. These feelings or sensations go back when our ancestors were still in the trees. But all of these so called mediums and psychics are all scams. A family should try to not ignore those feelings nor should police.

I said out loud in front of others the night they called the election for GW Bush & saw what I thought was WW3-type of events. My mind was overwhelmed right before 9/11 because of my Dad and Best friends passings. I think like I often do, I pushed the premonition away. I didn’t get a NY specific issue. Just a lot of death & destruction under Bush’s admin. I had 0 reasons for getting that strong of impressions. It happened more than the pm they called the election. I felt it coming. But life, family, college, family etc took over my mind and pushed it back. I do think of that. I’m not 100% correct or in tune all the time. That’s exhausting. Rev. K. Scott

There are bad eggs in EVERY line of work, ambulance chasing attorneys, roofers that show up at your door after a hurricane, etc. Legit psychics would not charge fees or harass a family going through crisis for a buck. The government has been using psychics and remote viewers dating back to Hitler. The important thing here is finding closure for the families involved. If a psychic has clues, visions or dreams relating to the missing person and it is valuable in finding the person, then by all means help!

Minister Holly B Lovey
Like it or not. The Bible strongly condemns spiritism, mediums, the occult, and psychics (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). Horoscopes, tarot cards, astrology, fortune tellers, palm readings, and séances fall into this category as well. These practices are based on the concept that there are gods, spirits, or deceased loved ones that can give advice and guidance. These “gods” or “spirits” are demons (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that deceased loved ones can contact us. If they were believers, they are in heaven enjoying the most wonderful place imaginable in fellowship with a loving God. Don't shoot the messenger, read the scriptures.

All throughout the Bible there are psychics and mediums. It is written. If a person legitimately can help then that is a good thing if they are a scam artist no they should not be allowed to continue to scam people. But take into account to the many dreams people have repeatedly of the same thing over and over and then it happened but then again is it a manifestation think about that the mind can manifest.

Donald V. Dunham
Do psychics and mediums actually solve crimes?
There is no reliable evidence that they do.
What police and research say
Most police departments do not consider psychics credible investigative tools and do not officially use them.
Scientific tests comparing psychics with detectives or ordinary people consistently found no better-than-chance performance.
In controlled studies, psychics given case information performed about the same as students or investigators in identifying details.
Long-term research into ESP and crime-solving has “almost unanimously” shown results no better than random guessing.
That is the hard data.
Why some people believe they help
There are a few reasons the belief persists:
Anecdotes get remembered, failures get ignored Psychics often make many vague predictions. When something later matches, that one hit gets publicized while the incorrect statements are forgotten.
Vague statements sound accurate after the fact Predictions like “near water” or “remote area” apply to a huge number of crimes, so they appear impressive once a body is found.
Emotional desperation Families of missing persons sometimes turn to psychics when police leads are exhausted. This creates the impression psychics are part of investigations even when they provide nothing useful.
Media exaggeration TV and articles highlight rare stories where psychics claim success, but police corroboration is usually absent.
Do police ever talk to psychics at all?
Occasionally, but not in the way people think.
Sometimes families bring a psychic to police.
Sometimes investigators will listen to any tip just to be thorough.
Rarely, a detective may consult one as a “last resort” or to reassure families.
Even in those cases, psychic input cannot be used as evidence in court and has not been shown to solve cases independently.
Bottom line
Psychics and mediums have been claiming to solve crimes for over a century. When tested under controlled conditions, they perform no better than chance. When crimes are solved, it is almost always through traditional investigation, forensic evidence, and police work, not paranormal input.
The belief persists because people want hope in desperate situations, but from a factual standpoint, there is no solid evidence that psychic abilities solve criminal cases.

Psychics, mediums, etc are channeling DEMONS, not helpful spirits and are to be avoided at all costs. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to only seek the Holy Spirit for guidance. Everything else is demonic influence.
Leviticus 19:31 "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them."
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells."
Isaiah 8:19 "When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God?"

Gosh! Wondered when this subject would come up.
Back in the early 90's I collaborated on a book about the paranormal experiences of ordinary people.
One guy I heard about was apparently a 'police psychic' who had apparently helped with dozens of crimes.
This prompted me to write a chapter called 'The Psychic Sherlocks' in which I conducted a very deep investigation that asked the question 'can a psychic solve a crime?'.
the first thing I learned is that as soon as a high profile case comes to media attention, psychics swarm round it like flies round a cow's bottom. Among the people I interview was the then head of the Metropolitan Police Detective Training School - himself a former investigator who had brought some of the most famous British criminals to justice. I also interview the family of Suzy Lamplugh, whose fate remains a mystery to this day, by whose case attracted 400 psychics. I even interviewed two serving police officers who were 'mediums'. I even went on a TV programme where they used a psychic to try and find the bodies of the two missing children in the Moors Murders case.
I concluded - much to my collaborator's disgust - that not only were Psychics unable to solve a single crime, but that they would be legally prevented from bothering police in the first place.

All my life, I was taught science and reason, and yet something niggled at me, just in that space where you can't deny it and can't get ahold of it. I knew things that I couldn't know. Principles and how they applied to whatever the subject was at hand.
Finally, around 58 YO, I simply coukd no longer deny it, and had an experience that blew my mind. I'd had other experiences, keeping me from locking the idea out vompletely.
Since the big experience, it's a learning process.
The problem with psychic phenomena is that like every other sense, there is a temptation to 'color it in' using our brains, which ... the brain doesn't like loose ends and fills in. The other 'perceptual filter' is a bias of expectations. We tend to see things we expect, and miss what we don't expect. 'Inner senses' are very similar.
Yet, a disciplined psychic could be of great value.
'Should' psychics be used? Why not? Should departments default to it? No. Should they employ untested, unlnown people to do the work? Lol, perhaps thry should use their intuition to decide! 🤣
-
Patricia Ann Gross
Keith D,
I agree with you. We all have intuition to some degree (some more than others), and yet there is no scientific evidence to prove that it is or is not real (perhaps a repressed memory, for example). My daughter, for example started reading third grade level books before she was three years old, but having been blessed with a photographic and autographic memory, as I read her books, after once or twice she could recite them back to me without missing a word, and then figured out from sight what the words were. Once I realized she was reading, I asked her pre-K teacher if she knew she could read, and they knew, but were as surprised as I was. She just picked it up, and we don't know how.

Lori Mongillo
I am a skeptic when it comes to mediums. I'm not saying people can't receive intuitive messages, but I don't believe it's at Will. I've had experiences, but they were random. I wasn't looking for them. One in particular was an accident I had on a major highway in CT. Three days before, I started getting bad feelings about traveling that morning. I had never been afraid to drive anywhere. I became overwhelmed with fear and was crying over the fact that I had to go on the highway. My husband had other things to do that day and couldn't go with me. He thought I was crazy, but he showed me another way to get to my destination. The day of the accident I felt compelled to take the highway. My mom came with me. She thought I was crazy too. This was prior to the seat belt law, but I made her buckle up, as did I. Halfway to my destination the car next to me suddenly swerved and bumped the bridge wall, then came toward me. I hit the horn and swerved in the other direction, and went into a spin. I hit the bridge and totaled the car, but mom and I were both fine. The woman driving the other car was stirred from her sleep and went onto the grass. I got out and asked if she was okay. She was. She was a nurse who had done a double shift and fell asleep at the wheel. I don't think the premonition was about me. I think it was for her sake. I'll never know for sure. Oddly, there were no other cars near us. Sh-- just happens and it can't be explained. I try to keep an open mind.

Rev. Miche'al Yosef Dixon
The biggest problem is that everyone misusing the term "Psychic" to start with. 2/3 are frauds giving the true psychics a bad reputation. The term "Psychic" is broad term covering a large range of ESP abilities; ie, as the Greek corrupted spelling of the term "Psyche" states "Mind" abilities specifically "Thoughts". In the mid-1950s scientists proved that ESP abilities do exist and every nation developed a branch in there military spending Trillions in their moneys to use those abilities as military weapons and spying on other countries. So, why are people still doubting using those with actual true abilities to solve crimes. The government investigators have "secretly"/"discreetly" hired or used them for centuries. The public, at least in the United States, get their panties in a bunch when the term Psychic is used because of hypocrisy of "Religious Beliefs" saying, "The Bible says thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" and misused the term witch translated from the Hebrew/Aramaic. The proper translation would be "Medium" or "Necromancer" that is "One that speaks with the Dead". Which police investigators often use to talk with a victim of murder to catch the killer. Most of the psychics this is talking about are those that the Scripture called "Seers" or "Prophets" those that see Past, Present and Future events and issues. Not to be mistaken for "Fortune Tellers"/"Soothsayers" that only stated the Future events of one person. The question in the headline was "Should Psychics be used..." When as stated they've been used for centuries why care now?

Who cares if anyone thinks negatively about psychics and mediums if they actually solve crimes that have not been solved by the usual methods! Give them credits for “unexplainable” methods!

I agree but keep your radar up for the fakes. And if they are spot-on, why charge so much like Carla Baron? (per website charges $360/hr) If the ability was gifted to her, why charge fees that only a percentage can afford? I have found a gem (psychic medium) many years ago, down to earth & kind who charges $90/hr! So proud of her that she didn’t jump onboard to charge hollywood prices. I’m blessed to have run into her, she’s been 95% correct over the years.

Pastor George Day
Geoffrey C. Olive Science, by its very nature, cannot account for the workings of the devil. Demons are not psychological metaphors or abstract symbols; they are fallen angels, ancient intelligences whose rebellion predates human history. A portion of them are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim—beings wiped out in the flood yet left to wander without rest.
They operate in the shadows of creation, manipulating matter, perception, and circumstance with a precision that blends truth and deception so seamlessly that the untrained mind cannot distinguish between the two. Their influence is parasitic: they feed on human emotion, distortion, and chaos, which is why their interactions with humanity are always twisted, coercive, and destructive.
This is not superstition. It is the spiritual architecture of the world—older than science, older than language, older than the flood itself.

It's really a hard question to give a definitive answer. The problem is, there is an overabundance of fakes. Most of them are simply play-acting, or have this need to pretend. This can be dangerous.
However there have been a few I've met who clearly have a gift. Some are more or less remote viewing, but some have a gift of understanding what can not be seen.
Perhaps the best example of this was a friend who had this gift. We called him "Radar" after the character in the TV show. But one time we were sitting at a red light when it turned green. He didn't start up, and I mentioned "It's green. Go!" He yells "NO" and a second later a steel hauler blow the light, and we would have been t-boned. SO, the question is, how did he know the danger was present when it could not be seen or heard? Another time, he was helping straighten the sanctuary when one of the bishops mentioned that he put down the key ring to the youth chapel and couldn't remember where he put it. "Radar" thought for a second and said it was on the floor in the youth kitchen and had been kicked under the edge of the cooler. The bishop went to the youth kitchen, and there was the ring of keys. Again, how did he know.
What is interesting about this, is it seems it's generational. His grandmother was like that, his mom was also like that, but his other five siblings never gained the gift.
It really deserves study!
-
Rev. Miche'al Yosef Dixon
As I stated in my comment. In the 1950s it was studied and by every U.N. member and it's considered a scientific fact. We humans only use 10% of our mental abilities. Jesus himself used medical science on 2/3 of His miracles. And said, "If you have faith you can say to that mountain be cast into the sea. And it will be cast from your sight." He didn't say "Faith in me" but simply faith it can be done. Showing us not everything has to have a supernatural power to be do, ESP abilities are natural powers.

It’s really not hard at all. Although many people believe in psychic abilities, the scientific consensus is that there is no proof of the existence of such powers, and describes the practice as pseudoscience.

Meantime, CIA and espionage agencies world wide use remote viewing to solid effect.
I'm so done with 'scientific consensus' opinions that reflect no science, no consensus, and simply denial of the obvious.
Here, let's get scientific. Go to a thrift store, like Goodwill. Before you go in, wash your hands with water, salt and unscented liquid soap. Shop like you mean it. Pick things up, hold clothing up to you, spend 20 minutes.
Do you feel anything 'funny'? Maybe you do; maybe you don't.
Now go wash your hands again with that combo. Feel anything different?
You may not. I did. If you did, try it at a new clothing store, and st a high ticket used goods store.
Go ahead. You're quoting someone citing a 'scientific consensus.' This is science: experimentation. Try it! It's ok if you have to thwart the false authority of 'trust the science.'
Break free from the mind butchers who WANT you to believe you have no cosmic abilities!

The incurious; the one who refuses to see; The one who pushes a dogma of blindness, committed to that blindness; That is the one who needs to heal.
🙏 Peace, and wisdom.

Thank you for your concern, I understand how logic, reason, and critical thought can be a problem for many who want to believe in mumbo jumbo with no real demonstrable evidence to support their claims.
Pseudoscience can be a huge problem for many, but if they insist on believing in it thats totally okay. It’s the way it has been for thousands of years from when people didn’t know where the sun went at night and started believing the Sun was a deity.

Unlike some, I do think that are a few “psychics” out there, but they’re outnumbered by charlatans by at least 100:1… it’s a moot point anyway, because 99% of courts will not admit such testimony into evidence.

Being a psychic, Medium, and channeler myself, let me say that there are plenty of fakes out there trying to make news. And a lot of real gifted people. No psychic can ever be right 100% of the time, if we were we wouldn't be human, would we? Personally, I can truthfully say that if I make a prediction, I am usually right on the money maybe 50% of the time. I have located three bodies for law enforcement, and helped solve cases, and I have tried others and failed, either by being wrong, or not being able to 'zoom' in on the facts. It's not an exacting science, maybe it will be one day when we understand it better

Yes, of course people who like to see themselves as psychics and mediums can solve crimes, just like everyone else can. All they need to do is sign up at their local law enforcement office and take some classes in detective work, or even a criminology course, like others do that want to solve crimes. Even criminal pathology might be a good course to take. The only draw-back for them might be they need to have completed grade schooling, and have attended college to get a degree. This might be a problem for many of them. Other than that, they’ll be good to go. 🤷

It’s important know, guys! We do not seek out mediums and psychics especially for insight outside of the word of God. Many things exist in the world as a trial, be diligent not to fall into false hope. Your heart is a compass and God is the atlas only he can guide you home every time. Blessed brother and sister God bless you have a wonderful day!!!! Amen!
