Psychic Detectives

An illustrated examination of the use of psychics in solving criminal cases. Crime investigation is not always a matter of gathering hard evidence. Just as police officers sometimes follow a "hunch," people with psychic abilities have often supplied invaluable leads to help crack the most baffling cases. Psychic Detectives allows you to enter their world, revealing their astounding experiences and the often-heavy price they pay for sharing what they know. Police agencies are generally reluctant to admit to the use of psychics during or even after the completion of an investigation for fear of ridicule from the public and other members of the law enforcement community. Despite this, psychics have often become involved in a large number of highly publicized investigations into serial murders conducted over the last 20 years or more. Featured cases include the Kennedy assassinations; Jack the Ripper; the Charles Manson murders; Uri Geller's diamond find; David Berkowitz ("Son of Sam"); the Moors murders; Peter Sutcliffe ("The Yorkshire Ripper"); the IRA bombing, Manchester; the disappearance of Lord Lucan; the Patty Hearst kidnapping; and many more.
