I’m trying to
decide whether or not to talk about a murder case that I worked on as a
psychic, pro bono. I’ve only talked about one case, ever. With that one, I received
threats from a family member of the murderer, who blames me as the reason their
relative is in jail. That murder happened here in Lebanon. The second case
occurred in another Pennsylvania county, so it’s bound to stir up news
reporters, and possibly family members of the victim and the murderer.
Contact with a victim’s family is horrible and even worse than my “seeing” the murder. In this second case, decades ago, I met with a parent of the victim, who cried with pain. The coroner knew my work and begged me to visit, and I have regretted it ever since. The case is now adjudicated, with the killer in jail, so I’m free to discuss it. I didn’t solve the case at the time, it was solved decades later, but I presented important clues. The original detective taped my information, then retired, took it home, and never gave it to the detectives after him. I worked on it again years later with a different detective, but I couldn’t get much of the info back. The vicious enormity of it meant I had refused to store one bit of it in my brain. If I decide to speak about this case, I have to hope it heals a gentle soul.
All of us are asked for advice and feedback. We want to help but sometimes it stirs up more pain. With a good and open heart, we follow our instincts and say what we think is best. Healing comes in many ways.
