Search for Morgan won’t take ‘anything for granted’

Okay.  I am obsessive-compulsive.  Ye of Little Faith (i.e. here’s to John Merrill et al.)—I mention the “Father” of Psychology in the U.S., one William James, who as a renowned scientist risked his reputation, both personally and professionally, to study paranormal phenomena for many years. Dr. James chastised his fellow scientists for outright dismissing such phenomena after having made (or in many cases not having made) attempts to examine such phenomena using the “scientific method” (or alternate methods); i.e., what cannot be “scientifically” verified cannot possibly be real. I can verify from personal experience and from others I have known that paranormal events are as REAL (and are a PART OF) so-called physical reality.  I feel exceedingly sorry for people who cannot open their minds to phenomena that cannot yet be explained by traditional scientific methods.  For shame.

Ye of Little Faith (i.e. here’s to John Merrill et al.)—I mention the “Father” of Psychology in the U.S., one William James, who as a reknown scientist risked his reputation, both personally and professionally, to study paranormal phenomena for many years. Dr. James chastised his fellow scientists for only thinking about wordly phenomena according to the established and religiously accepted “scientific method”. For shame.  I can verify from personal experience and from others I have known that paranormal events are as REAL as so-called physical reality.  I only feel sorry for people who cannot open their minds to phenomena that cannot yet be explained by traditional scientific methods.  The horror.

The web site you [comments by westrichmond below]refer to is one supported by the C&P Inquiry Group and includes some brief comments by many critics of Noreen Renier and other psychic detectives.  I just happen to be one among many who have examined paranormal investigative claims and found them too often exaggerated or deceptive.  Those who support proper forensic investigations rather than paranormal flim-flam are often passionate in their views.  Fortunately many of those supporters have in recent years become all of the major law enforcement agencies across the country—- including all 50 State Police agencies, the FBI, NYPD and LAPD—- who now refuse to sanction psychics for investigative work.
Locally ‘The Hook’ and other papers have reported on issues relating specifically to Free Union resident Noreen Renier including her Washington federal court losses in 2006 and 2007 where a U.S. District judge ruled she owed near $40,000 for breaching a Florida State settlement with me.  Her paranormal authenticity or apparent lack of paranormal claimed authenticity has been reserved for examination outside the courtroom—- including during her tested failures during several research procedures at Southern Oregon College.
The Hook also noted that eye-witnesses have come forward (detailed on the website at http://www.amindformurder.com/runwaypart1.htm ) stating that Noreen Renier was not “instrumental” in locating a crashed plane as she claimed, nor did she correctly describe the crash scene in testimony or how the plane was actually located—- by others not her.
The “body of evidence” that suggests psychic involvement is a valid police technique apparently is often ripped from the biased commentary of paranormal proponents themselves and reported by media who never question their exaggerated claims.  Such as Renier claiming to be sanctioned by numerous police agencies, and having been involved with more than 650 cases across 150 cities.  Where’s the documentation beyond her completely unsubstantiated claims?
You note “Surely you aren’t someone who completely discounts them, correct?  That flies in the face of so many successes with their use.”  Outside of re-dramatized and sensational television programs do you have a specific documented case where a psychic personally cited the name of a criminal for the first time and before he/she was brought to justice?  Can you cite any case where a psychic led police directly to a missing person rather than dropping several dozen random clues and expecting someone to put it all together afterwards?  Any instance of psychic leading a police officer to a lost child before they froze to death or were murdered?

The answers are in fact psychic “successes” never occur in real time.  They occur only after the fact when the psychic CLAIMS the outcome matches what they previously perceived.  Why can’t paranormal investigative work function in real time?  Because such success is defined by after-the-fact flim-flam matching.

To John Merrill, I had never heard any negaative information ever on the local psychic I mentioned.  I am really surprised, and can say for certain I have never seen any of that in my local paper or on the tv news.  I have seen glowing news items and full tv documentaries on her and on invetigative stories that involve her.  I don’t know what you meant to say by all capping the word Female.  Would you mind clarifying that?
I am in no way part of any local or other paranormal group, don’t have an agenda and threw that out, along with other questions to ask why the police are not seeming to pull out certain stops.
Again, where did that cell phone last ping?
Why is there no discussion of the library of CCTV sites being viewed across the area?
Why do we hear stories, one at 3:45 on the downtown mall and another now on the lawn, that don’t seem to have been ruled out.
If I was mistaken to cite the psychic, I am stunned a second time.  I see a body of evidence that suggests this is a valid police technique and she is frequently cited as what I would consider a credible, acknowledged authority.  I will view the sites you mention, mindful, as always, that sometimes folks involved in lawsuits disparage one side or the other via the net. I am impartial.  I would be interested to know if there is a site or weblog that contains adverse testimonials by folks she was supposed to help and failed.  As for personal bankruptcy, were you saying those were related to whether her work is questionable?  If not, I might point out the number of times Donald Trump has been bankrupt.
Nonetheless, without a flaming response, I don’t see a cascade of errors, perhaps misinformation ( perhaps not) , combined with my belief that this is a valid technique, combined again that the local police are managing the investigation and leaving things unchecked or checked and kept to themselves.
I see that you put the word psychics in quotes.  Surely you aren’t someone who completely discounts them, correct?  That flies in the face of so many successes with their use. 
I concede that any investigation produces random psychic folks to pop up, and maybe that’s where you were headed.
FWIW, I think that bringing the negative viewpoint about one person specifically was a valid, public service oriented thing to do.  I will look at the web address you put out and look into what is said with an even and objective mind. 
Won’t change my attitude about credible psychics or gaffes made in police investigations that suffer from “not my idea-itis” or that don’t seem to be publicly discussing things like the last cell tower ping or how fully they viewed all of the local haunts’ closed circuit tv footage .

camdoo, do you have any close friends who could explain the words written in the story.
What is so hard to understand.

Mrs. Parson has told her story to police and local media and Ms. Harrington’s parents, but said she has heard nothing back from detectives.

The second sentence is just more information, trying to make the point that no one has contacted her.

Maybe if it was said “no one asked me to make a sketch” it would have been clearer.
