In late 2006 to early 2007, ABC TV in Australia aired a "documentary" series called 'Psychic Investigators'. No, it was not about an investigation of the claims of so-called psychics, it' was about the great successes of psychics in solving crimes. Yes, you read it right.
This page has been set up to offer an analysis of some of the episodes from a more rational point of view.
 We here at Mystery Investigators are constantly reassuring school students that the 'Psychic Detectives' they see on commercial TV are not real but are only actors. 'Psychic Detectives', we inform them, do not help police solve crimes. Instead, they bring false hope to families at their most vulnerable time. Sadly, the ABC have re-bunked the whole subject. Will the ABC win yet another
Did anyone at the ABC stop to think that this show may now cause people in this country to pester the police to use "psychics" and therefore waste time, money and valuable resources?
But now the show is over, let's hope the ABC NEVER repeat it.

It may seem like harmless fun but some ABC staff are so offended by the
pseudo-scientific television program Psychic Investigators, they have asked managing director Mark Scott to take it off air.

While we’re in this part of the world, we should mention that staff members of Australia’s ABC-TV don’t look upon the current use of the US pseudo-scientific series, “Psychic Investigators," as “harmless fun” but as an affront to their viewers.

ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 30 Nov 2006
James Randi once said, “My concern is not HOW they do it but IF they do it.” These words ring true when viewing the first episode of ‘Psychic Investigators.’
It seems there has been no attempt by the producers to verify the alleged powers of the “psychics” involved in the show. But there is however, and this something for which the ABC should hang its head in shame, an attack on the police for not consulting “psychics”. An attack for NOT consulting “psychics”? Can anyone at the ABC have actually watched this show before it when to air? Police are to be praised for sticking to tried and true methods and not resorting to magic and delusion.
"Psychic" Sue Evans, called in by Williams' sister, uses Tarot Cards to find out what happened to the missing Jason Williams. Tarot Cards.... hmmm. Stop right now. There is no evidence that Tarot Cards work as claimed and the use of them in this show is simply ridiculous. Be that as it may, Sue ‘divines via magic’ that there is “indicated trauma” surrounding Jason but “we weren’t exactly sure what had happened.” Amazing insights. Sue cannot say if Jason is dead or alive.
12 days after Jason disappears, Sue tries again with the added help of another psychic, her sister. Sue uses remote viewing “to sense the world from a spirit's point of view”. There is no evidence that remote viewing works as claimed. Sue seems to get a few facts right (we are not shown all the ones she may have gotten totally wrong) but what is not substantiated is whether Sue had no way of knowing these details before discussing them on camera. It is impossible to tell which details, if any, were truly determined by psychic means and which had been picked up subsequently and then incorporated into her story. It is, after all, just a TV show (something the ABC should try to remember).
The police, using real methods of investigation, make an arrest, conduct forensics tests pronounce Williams murdered. They tell the sister who claims that she didn’t tell the psychic and that the psychic later phones her to tell her that she has been in contact with Jason’s spirit and that he has been murdered. Again, who knows what really happened and in what order. There is no attempt to verify the events.
Sue claims that there would be blood found close to a radiator and that subsequently blood was found on the radiator by police. This is offered as “proof for the psychic believers that the psychic has access to the world of the paranormal”. Since it was known Jason was stabbed, it is no surprise that blood would indeed be on the radiator and probably many other places.
Sue and sister Julie start their own hunt for the body and a team of psychics is brought in. They claim that they "saw" the body being loaded into a van and taken up to an area known as the Brecon Beacons where it was buried close by “the branch of a tree had broke” and claim that there are three Celtic crosses near where the body was buried. The police reveal that Sinfield (a suspect) said during questioning that he and Davis (a suspect) wrapped up Williams’ body, put it in a van and took it up to the Brecon Beacons. Again there is no attempt to verify the order of prediction and events. (Remember, it’s just a TV show…) Police do identify a tree that has had some bark knocked off its trunk. This is taken by the film makers as confirmation of the psychic prediction of a broken tree limb. Hey, any ‘fit’ in a storm.
Sue also finds a church with three Celtic crosses on the Brecon Beacons. How odd, Celtic crosses in South Wales.
In the end, despite the show making snide remarks about the police not wanting to waste their time and effort on “psychics”, it is in fact the police and their use of painstaking investigating that results in the convictions of the guilty.
2. Psychic Investigators - Margie Calciano
ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 5 Dec 2006
Report from Peter Barrett (extra comments by Richard Saunders)
This episode of Psychic Investigators was the story of the investigation of the murder of an unidentified woman whose body was recovered in December 1984 in Cumru, Pennsylvania, in the USA. According to the episode summary, a detective and a psychic worked together to identify the woman and her murderer, 20 years later. But was that statement born out by the story told on the program?
The investigator, Detective Robert Wanner, had decided to consult psychic Dr Lauren Thibodeau over a murder case he was investigating, after finding out that relatives of the victim had consulted her. Wanner said that he didn't reveal his line of work to Dr Lauren (as she's popularly known), but still she was able to identify him as a police officer, even though the narrator said there was no way she could have known. She then said he was working on two murder cases, which he said surprised him as he was only investigating one at the time.
It is normal for people to misremember ‘psychic’ or cold readings. The ‘psychic’ may well have said something like;
Psychic: “I see people wearing uniforms. Does that mean anything to you?”
Detective: “Yes, I work for the police department.”
This is later remembered as
Psychic: “I see people wearing police uniforms. Are you a police officer?”
There are many, many variations of this type of fishing, each of which could result in the detective mis-remembering the real conversation. We do not know if this was the case in this situation, but it would not be at all surprising.
The program then described Dr Lauren's psychic visions, of Route 78 (a major highway in Pennsylvania) of the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, and of a truck driver and the side of a truck cab. The narrator made much of the fact that at the time of the unknown woman's murder in 1984, Dr Lauren was somewhere else, and couldn't possibly have known about the murder.
Two months after speaking to Dr Lauren, Wanner was assigned the cold case of the unidentified woman. Detective Wanner was amazed that Dr Lauren had predicted he'd be assigned to the case. At the time of the recovery of the body, the main suspect was a truck driver, but subsequent investigations confirmed he couldn't have been the murderer.
Wanner's first task was to identify her. He sent her fingerprints to a national database, and within a couple of days got a name - Margie Calciano. Following Dr Lauren's hint, he looked up the Calcianos in New York, finding 250 of them. The first one he called turned out to be Margie's mother, Joan.
Detective Wanner spoke to Joan Calciano. She named Margie's boyfriend, a jealous, hotheaded, and older man named Peter Iosa, as someone she'd suspected of being involved in Margie's disappearance. But there was no record of anyone called Peter Iosa, so Wanner assumed it was false.
Dr Lauren then gave a description of a second psychic vision. This time she saw a truck driver, smoking and wearing a heavy quilted shirt. She also had an image of a lake, possibly the Great Lakes, and she smiled as she said the phrase, "near water".
Detective Wanner spoke to an ex-boyfriend of Margie's, who said that Peter had filed a complaint against him with the New York Police. The NYPD retrieved the report, and found that Peter's surname was Williams. Wanner tracked Williams down to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, using Williams's Social Security number. It turned out Williams used to drive trucks between New York and Wisconsin, a journey which passed by the Great Lakes.
Wanner retrieved a DNA sample from Williams, and this was linked to a hair found on the blanket in which Margie's body was wrapped when it was recovered.
But Williams never went to trial, as he died of cancer.
Put together, it was an interesting story, but to suggest that Dr Lauren played much part in the story is stretching things way too far. Consider these points:
- The whole process of investigating the case, from identifying Margie Calciano to finding the main suspect Peter Williams was nothing but good police work. Nothing that Dr Lauren said had any material effect on that investigation.
- The narrator said that there was no way Dr Lauren could have known that Wanner was a policeman. Yet she'd previously spoken to relatives of the victim whose murder Wanner had originally been investigating. Is it too much to believe that one of them had mentioned Wanner's name?
- Wanner initially said that Dr Lauren told him he *was* working on the cold case. Later in the program, he said she told him he *would be* working on the cold case. Wanner appears to be altering what Dr Lauren said to make it fit events, to make a miss into a hit. He even *said* that he was trying to make what she said fit what he knew.
- The narrator said there was no way Dr Lauren could have known anything about the murder of Margie Calciano. But 20 years had passed between the recovery of her body and Detective Wanner approaching her. We have no way of knowing what Dr Lauren may have found out in that time.
- It was interesting that Dr Lauren used the statement "near water". Without a qualification of what sort of water we're talking about, the statement is meaningless, as water is all over the place in various forms - lakes, rivers, drains, pools, even toilet cisterns.
- Peter Williams was never tried, and it's unclear whether he was even charged.
Yet the program and Detective Wanner make it abundantly clear they thought
Williams was guilty. Without knowing Williams's guilt for certain, it's irresponsible to suggest that a psychic played any part in solving the crime.
I'm still wondering how this show has come up with so many 'real psychics' when science has tried for years to find just one.
3. Psychic Investigators - Rachel Domas
ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 14 Dec 2006
Before the review of this episode, a note to the program directors at ABC TV. The ‘psychic’ in this case did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to help solve the murder. Now….
Rachel Domas, 14 years old from New Jersey, was murdered in a forest by Michael Manfridonia in the late 1980s. The case is only hours old, at this stage Rachel was only missing, when a friend of the family calls on ‘psychic’ Nancy Weber to help. Detective Micco is in charge of the case.
The only relevant insights ‘psychic’ Nancy Weber seems to have come up with were;
- The name 'Michael'.
- The killer was connected with the smell of oil.
- Rachel Domas was dead.
- The killer was near oil drums.
- The killer was suicidal and ‘high’.
- The killer would be caught soon.
None of these amazing revelations are backed up with evidence (recordings etc.) and we the viewers have no idea if in fact Weber really did just blurt these out at the time. How many insights did she have after facts were known? As people misremember conversations, let alone cold or ‘psychic’ readings, it is far more likely, after 20 years that;
- We have no idea if Weber really said the name ‘Michael’ or if detective Micco is simply retrofitting after the event. (Indeed he could have let slip the name at the time as Michael Manfridonia was the prime suspect to have Weber pick up on it.)
- The smell of oil could mean anything as could ‘connected’, if indeed it was said at the time. What oil? Car oil? Cooking oil? Does it mean the suspect drove a car that uses oil?
- Sadly Rachel Domas was indeed dead. Again, we have no way of knowing if Weber did in fact predict this at the time. Even if she did it is far from an amazing insight.
- We have no idea if Weber really said, ‘Near oil drums’. How near? What drums? Near when hiding out? When working?
- We have no idea if Weber really said the killer was suicidal or ‘high’. The show states that Michael Manfridonia was ‘high on an overdose of cold medicine when arrested.’ Oh Please!
- We have no idea if Weber really said the killer would be caught soon but again, it is far from an amazing insight. The killer was caught when he went to his own house. Pity the ‘psychic’ could not have told the police where he was before then.
How many other things did Weber tell detective Micco and other people at the time that were simply forgotten as they did not fit the case? I would bet many indeed. It is also worth noting that the police officers involved went against orders when seeking information from the ‘psychic’.
The most ridiculous point in this farce was when the ‘psychic’ remembers seeing a photo of the missing girl. “I instantly know it’s confirmed. ” (her ‘psychic vision’ of Rachel) she says. Well dah! Anyone can play that game. Tell me you'll show me a photo of 'Fred', show it to me and I'll tell you it's Fred! There you go ABC TV. Can I have a 15 part series now?
From the ABC TV listing;
After the New Jersey school girl Rachel Domas missed her school bus and decided to walk the three miles to her home she was never seen again. A veteran psychic and a rookie cop then combined to solve the disappearance and murder of the 14-year-old.
What? “…combined to solve the disappearance..” Nope. Again it turns out that it was police work and police work only that solved the case in spite of the time wasted in talking to a 'psychic'.
Come on ABC TV… get the message. This show is an embarrassment to the good name of your organisation.
4. Psychic Investigators - Alexis Burke
ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 21 Dec 2006
ABC TV have listed this show, week after week, as “must see tv” in their online TV guide.
I would hope that the “must see tv” tag would be used wisely by the ABC. Sadly no. Just like a commercial network, the ABC are stooping to sensationalism in order to deceive viewers.
It is reported that Alexis Burke flees from her home in Portland, Oregon in 1986 after an argument with her husband John. It is in fact John who calls the police 3 days after the event and reports that she left in the family car and has not returned. On the case is detective Robert Lee who, right from the start, suspects John Burke. Sadly, we find out towards the end of the show that Alexis has been murdered.
In the meantime Alexis' mother, clearly worried, calls 'psychic' Laurie McQuary. The reports of this phone call come from McQuary who, no surprise, remembers getting all sorts of facts about Alexis and John exactly right. It is normal for both 'psychic' and client to misremember such readings. Both are inclined to remember the hits and forget the misses. This is what we expect with cold reading.
A few days later, with no psychic help, the police find the family car abandoned in a highway rest area. It is full of clues for police to study.
Alexis' mother now informs detective Lee that she has spoken with McQuary. Lee meets with McQuary over lunch to see what she knows. We are told that McQuary 'knew' many things about the case however this again sounds like a classic misremembering of events. Who knows what was really said?
We are told that;
- McQuary says that the number 15 is important. 15. In the world of the paranormal, 15 can also mean 15 or 13 or 14 or 16 or 17 or 1.5 or 51 or 5.1 or 1 or 5 and could be used for anything at all. (Hours or days or miles or metres or area or steps or house numbers or highway numbers or phone numbers or peoples' age etc.) We are told the car was found 15 miles from the house. Really? 15 miles as the crow flies or 15 miles via the road? What about taking another road? How many kilometres is that?
- There is an older, larger car with a huge trunk involved.
- John Burke's brother was involved. Retelling the story some 20 years later, McQuary says she 'saw' the brother actually taking part in the crime. What she really said at the time is not known.
McQuary tells us that she then visited the prime suspect John Burke, (a dangerous and stupid act) and got lots of psychic impressions including the notion that he killed his wife by strangling her with his bare hands! What an easy thing to say after the facts of the case are known.
Over the year, McQuary and Lee meet regularly to discuss the case. How much information this gives McQuary we can only guess. More amazing insights follow and we are told that;
- The body is buried near a creek and near where John Burke could keep an eye on it and he even eats his lunch there
- The name “Bells Landing” has something to do with the crime
A big break in the case comes when a former girlfriend of John Burke helps the police by calling him. John confesses to her that he strangled his wife. Police then check out the 15 acres near the metal fabrication plant where John works. Ah! 15. There it is… or is it? Do we know the area is 15 acres? Is it sort of 15 acres? 13 maybe? How is it defined? Public land? Private land? Company land? Despite a search, no body is found.
Finally the case is cracked via a confession from John's brother. This is credited to an insight from McQuary who tells us she knew all along that the brother had something to do with the crime. What she really said at the time is not known.
The body is found near water although the show does not make it clear just where that was. “Near a building in which the brothers worked.” Does that mean the metal fabrication plant? What about the number 15? And what about “Bells Landing”? The killer and his brother did in fact use an older, larger car in moving the body.
After all this, Detective Robert Lee ends up marrying 'psychic' Laurie McQuary.
5. Psychic Investigators - Penney Serra
ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 28 Dec 2006
From ABC TV's web site: "In July 1973 in New Haven, Connecticut in broad daylight, Penney Serra, a 21-year-old dental assistant was brutally murdered in a downtown parking garage. Witnesses saw the suspect escape and forensics discovered a trail of evidence."
On the case was detective George Mazzacane, who as a police officer should have known better, consulted 'psychic' and 'time walker' Mary Pascarella Downey. 'time walker'? 'TIME WALKER'??? These people seem to give themselves any ridiculous labels they want.
Downey came up with the following clues (or so we are told some 33 years after the event.):
"The smell of garage oil."
The killer had a car, used a car, went to a garage, took a taxi, worked in a garage, had a family member who worked in a garage, had a car etc. It is so easy to make such a vague statement fit just about anybody. As it turns out, the killer did work in a garage at some point. But look again... "Penney Serra, a 21-year-old dental assistant was brutally murdered in a downtown parking garage." I wonder if there was any garage oil about?
"The colour blue is extremely important."
Could mean anything, ended up meaning nothing that would help the case. In an obvious effort to make the 'psychic' right, it was said that part of the floor of the garage in which the killer worked was once painted blue. Would that be extremely important enough?
"The letter 'E' on a name tag."
'E', the most frequently used letter in the English language. Need I say more?
"The killer had a head ache."
This was never confirmed. Instead it turns out the killer had metal plates in his head from a previous injury. That's all well and good, but don't you think a real psychic would pick up on that?
"The victim fought to stay alive."
Someone being attacked and fighting back. Who could ever have 'seen' that? Just amazing.
"Water"
The old standby. This lead to a good random 'hit' the psychic as the killer lived in a place called Waterbury. What a pity she never said it (or the name, or the address or anything that could have helped.)
"Blood would tell."
Another vague statement but one related to police investigations. Blood was often a key factor in solving crimes even in 1973. Blood was not the key factor in solving this crime.
"The case would not be solved for a long time."
Turns out this was true if you are talking about many years. Just what 'a long time' means is open to interpretation so if the case was solved in only one or two years, it could still mean 'a long time'. I'm sure the family of the victim would see it that way. Must trivially be true, in retrospect, since the psychic does not get involved until some time has already elapsed.
As with all the cases in this series, viewers have no real idea if these things were really said at the time or not. Also, we have no idea how many things the 'psychic' said or predicted that had no connection at all, no 'hits'. These things, which are often numerous, are simply omitted. For this show, the psychic is remembering all the amazing things she 'said' over 30 years ago. However at the time of recording, 2006, she had been reminded of all the facts of the case. Is it any wonder she can make all the pieces fit?
It turns out (if you can stand watching this tripe for 26 minutes) that real science and dedicated police work solved this crime, years after the event, with a finger print being the key factor. (The psychic missed that!) What we were shown is nothing more than classic 'retro-fitting' of various aspects of the case in order to make the 'psychic' seem to be somehow on the money. It is pathetic.
Once again, the 'psychic' was no help whatsoever in solving the crime.
6. Psychic Investigators - Mick Hughes
ABC TV 8:00pm Thursday, 4 Jan 2007
The narrator for this series is an actress by the name of . She has a wonderful speaking voice but I wonder how she manages to keep a straight face with lines such as, “Her spirit allies show her the terrible truth.” and “Can Angela’s supernatural visions help bring the killer to justice?” (As it turns out the answer to this question is no.)
The terrible and recent (2003) murder of Mick Hughes in the UK is the subject of this week’s weak episode.
A good assessment by ‘EoR’ can be found at and I recommend you read the report found there.
(If you want the bottom line, the ‘psychic’ provided no information that was of any help to the police. This series is getting monotonous.)
I am glad to see that others are finding the time to analyse this show and I congratulate anyone who can sit through this tripe week after week. I wonder what will say about it?
8. Psychic Investigators - Southern Organs

No death or missing child this time, just a couple of con men. No help for police and by not dropping this show by now, ABC TV show that they just don't care.

Confession time. This is the first episode of this pitiful series that I missed seeing. Fortunately our friend ‘EoR’ has been on the ball. I once again recommend you visit this site.
Letters from the ABC
(Many people have reported receiving the same reply)
Dear Mr Saunders
Thank you for your email regarding Psychic Investigators.
The ABC regrets that you are unhappy about the decision to broadcast this series. Psychic Investigators is a series in which police involved in investigating crimes, in the absence of evidence indicating the guilt of a particular perpetrator, have called upon the services of psychics as a possible way of achieving a breakthrough in a case. These are actual documented police investigations and the police involved are interviewed in the series, along with the psychic employed. Many of the police involved state that they were initially sceptical that a psychic would be of any help and that they were astounded by the information they learned. The cases covered in the series took place in the UK and North America and cover a range of crimes.
Documentary programs broadcast on the ABC fall within the 'factual' category within the ABC's Editorial Policies and Code of Practice. The ABC makes every effort to ensure that documentaries meet all of the necessary editorial guidelines set out in the relevant sections of the Editorial Policies and the Code of Practice. For example, the content of documentaries must be accurate and in context and must not misrepresent any viewpoint. There is no requirement to provide equal time to "opposing" perspectives within the same or a subsequent program. The ABC is satisfied that Psychic Investigators complies with both the Editorial Policies and the Code of Practice. I have attached a link to the ABC's Code of Practice for your reference:

A letter to another like minded protester
Thank you for your email regarding Psychic Investigators.
The ABC regrets that you are unhappy about the decision to broadcast this series. As the national broadcaster, the ABC has an obligation to appeal to a diverse range of tastes. Nonetheless, your comments about this series are noted and have been conveyed to ABC Television.
I acknowledge your point that none of the episodes screened so far have featured any evidence that the so-called psychics offered any assistance to the investigations. The ABC does not consider this to be contrary to the promotion of Psychic Investigators as a documentary series demonstrating the use of psychics to help police solve crimes. The cases selected for presentation in the program were not chosen on the basis of the success of the psychic in the case, but rather, the involvement of the psychic, the availability of the participants for interview, and the 'interest factor' of the case.
Finally, regarding your assertion that the ABC is "endorsing this sham", I would point out that presenting a perspective is quite a different thing to endorsing it.
Thank you for taking the time to contact the ABC.
Yours sincerely
Simon Melkman
ABC Audience & Consumer Affairs
The end is in sight!
Dear Mr Saunders
Thank you for your further email regarding Psychic Investigators.
While once again your concerns about this program are noted, the ABC considers that its audience is discerning enough to make up its own mind about the claims made in Psychic Investigators.
Richard Saunders comments - That is this saying? The ABC know that the claims made on this show are ridiculous but trust their viewers are smart enough to realise this. Then WHY show it in the first place? Why call it a ‘documentary’? Why would anyone, let alone the ABC do this?
You may be pleased to note that Catalyst will return to the ABC at 8:00pm on 15 February 2007 following the summer break.
Yours sincerely
