Moving On... From Psychos to Psychics

After my last post, which touched on psychos and psycho-babbling on the Internet, I thought I’d shift gears and share what supposed psychics had to say to Crimeline, OCSO and ACISS about Caylee Anthony’s whereabouts within days and weeks of her publicized disappearance in mid-July, 2008. This list is only for the last two weeks in July. Of course, she was last seen a month earlier, but at the time of these reports, she was merely listed as a missing child. No one actually knew she was already deceased. A lot of us had our inner-feelings, but only the psychics knew where she was and whether she was still alive… or not…

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 06/26/2008

The first notion that something would be amiss came from an unknown caller in what’s described as an intuitive informational tip. The caller said (s)he believed it may be the location of a child. “The barn by the house…” Whatever, someone should look between the barn and the house. The barn was too close to the house.

Updated on a Web site on July 22, the medium said (s)he had no interest in a monetary award.

On the 23rd, it was updated again: There is a place called “The Barn” in Sanford. I don’t know if this is the place. The space between the building looks similar to what was seen, whatever that was supposed to mean.

Just so you know, The Barn is not a short distance from the Anthony’s home. We’re talking about a 45 minute drive, less, of course, as the crow flies, but crows didn’t snatch Caylee away.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/18/2008

To start things off after the fact, the caller said she felt as if the grandparents, George and Cindy, were Caylee’s “real” parents. The toddler would just cry and cry for her grandparents and Casey couldn’t take it any longer. She couldn’t accept that Caylee felt closer to her grandparents than to her. The caller said that she killed Caylee because she thought she was an inadequate mother.

The child is dead, she said, but the death was not intentional. It was out of anger and accidental. The psychic could not see how she died or where Casey hid the body.

She warned the police that they could never leave the mother alone and to keep questioning her. They needed to lead her to believe they were on Casey’s side; that they knew how hard it was to raise a child when Caylee loved her grandparents more. This tactic would lead Casey to crack and confess. She would then lead police to the body.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/19/2008

Here, we have a psychic who reported that a male pedophile sexually assaulted Caylee, ruptured her, and threw her body to alligators. I hate to be so harsh and descriptive, but this is what the report says.

The perp has a round face, blue eyes and straight, light hair parted on the left side that hangs partly over his forehead to the right. Caylee was wearing shoes that were scuffed on the front and sides, a top with puffed sleeves and a tucked front that billowed out over white shorts to her knees. Her bloodied shorts would be found in the bottom drawer of a chest.

There is a separate report dated 7/24 that is a duplicate of this one.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/20/2008

This one is very interesting. She didn’t call herself a psychic, she said she was a medium. She learned about the case from her daughter and had not read or watched any news segments on the disappearance. She had a dream that Casey wrapped Caylee in several layers of garbage bags that were set out with the trash. Close, but no cigar. She also said that the child had something pink in color, possibly clothing. She also saw a shovel being borrowed.

Although compelling, it’s not unusual to see a girl wearing pink. It’s not strange that a shovel would be involved in disposing of a body, but borrowing one is something to note.

Psychic: Donna Hayes - Date: 07/21/2008

Donna said she worked with the Hopkinsville, Kentucky police department. She noted that Detective Scott Mays could advise authorities of her work. She reported that Caylee is with a dark-skinned male, slender to medium in build and about 5’9” - 6’0”. He is either a boyfriend or a real “close” friend of the mother. She advised the tip line that the child was in a wooded area near a small metal shed building like an electrical box.

Psychic: Luke Phillips - Date: 07/21/2008

Luke indicated that the child was adopted under the table with the help of Good Shepherd Services in Orlando. He believed that Casey had to do this because of her strong feeling of harm coming to Caylee. When he was called, he said he had felt she was in North Carolina, near Columbia. After speaking to Sgt. John Allen, he was more precise about his thoughts in a follow-up e-mail. Working with Anam Caillte, a non-profit international organization dedicated to the search and discovery of missing children, he emphasized that there was a connection with a church/religious group, Good Shepherd Services, which is a mere two miles away from the Anthony home. Not only was he specific about the organization, he cited the Gaston, SC area off I-26 and SC Hwy 176, Plantation Estates Lane (SC-5-9-354).

Which state was it, NC or SC? Neither, actually.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/21/2008

Here, the tipster advised authorities that they saw the news story on the Today Show. While watching the show, an inner voice said that police were looking in the wrong place. They should be looking in a swamp. DO NOT, I repeat, do not let the grandmother, Cindy, talk to Casey. Check the grandmother’s vehicle! “She knows!”

The psychic advised that there was never any mention of Caylee’s father or his parents. Police have the wrong person in custody! This person got a bad feeling when George was seen on TV clutching Caylee’s teddy bear. Police should take this person seriously because they have had feelings on other cases and have been right in the past. This tip should be taken seriously!

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/21/2008

This tipster brought the Lord into the equation, along with a suspect named David. Hmm… more fuel for the conspirators? The Lord told her in a dream that the suspect, David Rafferty, killed the child. He was under the age of 45 and had long, dirty brown hair. His glasses were outdated and he was wearing a red t-shirt with a bar and grill logo on it. He lived in a trailer on his mother’s property. Caylee was buried in a plastic bag behind or near his trailer. His mother lived in a light yellow and white house. The child’s mother did not know the name of the city and state the suspect lived in, but she believed it was probably local to where Caylee lived or where she went missing.

Psychic: Nadine McLachlan - Date: 07/21/2008

Nadine had a dream that Monday without knowing anything about Caylee. Her dream showed a countryside with a red brick bridge. The child would be found under the bridge in the water. She was wearing a plaid dress with red in it and white socks with pink on the top. She realized on Tuesday, when she saw Caylee on the news, that she was the little girl in her dream.

Psychic: Candice Casey - Date: 07/22/2008

Candice said she saw a vision that Caylee was in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, whether in the town or the lake itself, I don’t know. She said a male from the father’s side molested Caylee and that Casey told her mother, who chose not to believe her. Casey wouldn’t tell the police the truth because no one would believe her. Casey is only protecting her daughter and knows where she is. Duh? This paternal relative is shorter than George, stocky, with white hair and somewhere between 50-60 years old. That eliminated me. I’m bald. Of course, it won’t take a psychic to start an ugly rumor. Just a psycho.

This tipster was also specific. She said that Putnam was the street name and a young couple, Carrie and Phil would live there. It would be an older one-story building, with an older window, on a single-lane driveway. The house would be in a field with pretty red flowers. The family would work with hay, there would be no animals or vehicles, and the couple would have no other children.

Psychic: Jenn Cooper - Date: 07/22/2008

Jenn Cooper sent Cpl. Yuri Melich an e-mail. She said she hadn’t slept a wink for 3 days because she was having dreams while awake. She stated there was nothing in it for her except that the precious little girl to be returned home.

It was very important that police run a polygraph on Casey asking her which state her daughter had been taken to. They needed to run through the alphabet starting with A. “Is Caylee in Alabama?… Alaska?” And so on. There are 51 states and 26 letters in the alphabet. I’ll let you figure the algorithm out.

Jenn stated that Casey would not be able to lie about a timeline if the states were called out alphabetically. Casey was also covering the whereabouts up because she had been threatened not to say or people would kill her. Please don’t let this become another Madelaine McCann story!

She admitted she could be wrong, but there were several people (possibly Latino) involved.

Don’t forget to ask Casey about her Myspace blog on June 7, too. It was an open admission to what Casey was going through - something really, really bad. There was something very dark going on in Casey’s life around June 7 and she had put herself in a dissociative state of mind to kill the pain.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/22/2008

The caller said she was a psychic. She had a vision of Caylee with one man and one or two women traveling in a dark-colored SUV. They were now in Raleigh, NC at a place between 225 and 275 Raleigh Road Parkway West. They would only be there for a few days and would then travel to Winston, NC.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/22/2008

This one was not a psychic. Instead, the caller said police should talk to a psychic by the name of Tiffany Martin, living in Pleasant Hill, California.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

The caller said that Caylee may be buried underneath her grandparents’ house.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

This one is called The Miracle Call. The caller said that when they put water down on a table, they saw a miracle, just like Christ turned water into wine. Hmm. They saw an old-fashioned glove like an oven mitt, then the grandpa appears; then there is an image of a big person and a smaller person near grandpa’s house (or at the house.) When the caller said more water was thrown on the table, they saw a man with a big head and a small girl near some high rock. On the third day, more water was thrown on the table and they saw a woman who looked like the grandmother, that she was near some water where there was a cave and high water. Cindy was then seen with the man with the big head. No Caylee this time. Ahhh, here’s the clincher… If you’re in Miami looking up at Orlando, which must have meant north, there will be the man with the big head on the right side and there is a fancy woman who lives in Miami and they may have the child.

Huh? All that, and all this caller could say is “may” have the child. What a cryptic letdown! No wonder this caller gave no name.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

The caller believed Caylee was still alive, but not for long. Uh-oh. Casey knew where her daughter was, but she was too afraid to say so. An ex-husband/boyfriend was a trucker and they were heading north on I-95! He would kill Caylee if Casey spilled the beans. He was dangerous and probably a drunk. Tips would come in from sightings on trucks stops along the way. Walmarts, too. There must be something to this Walmart stuff. The suspect was with Caylee and no one else and was using Caylee as collateral to get the mother back. Oh yes, the tip about Atlanta Airport? Sooo not true.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

The caller said the little girl was dead and there was a man involved. Caylee was placed into the trunk of a vehicle. Casey and this unknown man were going to bury Caylee but the man told her she couldn’t bury her daughter in the back yard because it would be the first place police would look. The caller said Caylee should be wearing turquoise colored shorts and a red shirt.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

The caller believed Casey was hiding Caylee and was playing the “no body, no case” game. This one was a bull’s-eye and it rang true until Casey had her “Oh no” moment..

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/23/2008

This caller stated that they had had dreams about Caylee. The person believed that the suspect was deceased and that Caylee was buried in the grandparents’ back yard, near some sort of concrete square.  This caller also said that the grandmother might not be completely sane and that she knew more than she was saying.

Keep in mind that this is how rumors start, but the psychic wasn’t all wrong. I’ll leave it to you to figure out what it is, but to be fair, media helicopters had hovered over the back yard by that date, and Cindy was struggling with protesters in her front yard.

Psychic: Debbie Valenti - Date: 07/23/2008

This was her first call. She said that Casey was insecure about the relationship with her own mother. Caylee was crying for her grandmother and Casey got frustrated. She hit Caylee until she died. Police needed to keep after her and she’d crack under pressure and tell the truth.

Psychic: Andrzej Nikodemowicz - Date: 07/23/2008

This one, I’m going to quote. Marta Abdusattarov spoke to a psychic in Poland and this is the gist of an e-mail and two text messages Marta sent to law enforcement through the course of the day:

“I have a contact with the case. The girl is alive and feels good. She is in the house on the hill. Pay attention to the yellow car. Around the house there is no palm trees, only leaf trees south of Daytona in the middle of Florida.” Well, it is called central Florida for a reason. “In the house by the lake from its north side. She was going road or Interstate 4. It’s a place that I can show if there are people that are interested to talk about it. There is a woman that drives light yellow car. The vision is not clear. Mother of the child is scared but it’s all about the girl. She is in Lakeland towards Hillis Blvd or Hillis Dr by the lake. And can I explain more of someone who speaks Polish will call me. For now, that is all. Thank you for your trust.”

Psychic: Debbie Valenti - Date: 07/24/2008

Debbie again stated she was a psychic and wanted to offer her understanding of the little girl who was missing. She gave her phone numbers and asked authorities to call her. Did they call her back? I don’t know, I’m not a psychic.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/24/2008

Here’s a real nail biter… The KKK has Caylee in Luce Dale, Mississippi near Hwy 98. They paid for her and use children in their satanic cult rituals.

Hey, I’ve been in Mississippi and traveled on 98. Someone I know - and have NEVER met - lives in Mississippi, too. Does that mean anything?

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/24/2008

Here’s an unknown caller with a different idea. This person had a “gut” feeling that Yuri Melich needed to interview all of Casey’s male friends. History proves that children are abused or killed by fathers and boyfriends. Casey was covering for someone and sending police on a wild goose chase so the culprit could get out-of-town.

Psychic: Alice Taylor - Date: 07/24/2008

Alice was rather good because she had a simple message. She sensed that Caylee was smothered and she saw the toddler in the marshes not far from her home. “A bit of a drive” kind of threw it, though.

Psychic: Lauree Coleman - Date: 07/27/2008

The Lord revealed to her that Caylee’s body was not far from the home in an industrial park at the dead-end and to the left of a wooded area. Her body would be found in a sink hole or pot hole filled with water.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/25/2008

The caller stated the male responsible for kidnapping Caylee was about 20-30 years old and that he was her father. The suspect has long, sandy colored hair. They were driving a white colored or light blue colored 4 door vehicle. Earlier, Casey and Caylee went with this man to New York and he owed Casey money. He also had a firearm and he was going to pay Casey the money he owed for child support after taking care of business. Since Casey didn’t want her daughter around this sort of activity, she left Caylee with another woman (no name given) to watch her. The suspect took Caylee from the babysitter before Casey had a chance to pick her up. Caylee was still alive at this point and she was near Hoboken, New Jersey.  Did this psychic see a happy outcome? Well, there was another male who was thought to be the son of the babysitter and that would help out with the situation, so, yes, Caylee would be found!

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/25/2008

This one believes Casey was into drugs and she owed the dealers way, way too much money. They threatened to kill her daughter, so Casey took her to a family relative in New York to keep her safe. No name, address or relationship was established.

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/26/2008

The psychic caller believed that the police should look at fibers on stuffed animals found in the trunk. Casey buried Caylee in her favorite park where they always used to go. She killed her because she couldn’t afford her.

And last, but not least, we have…

Psychic: Unknown - Date: 07/27/2008

Our final psychic called authorities and stated that George and Cindy had a fresh concrete slab poured 10 days earlier in their back yard. Now, here’s a real vision, as in watching news about the case on television. The caller said Caylee’s remains were in the concrete slab. Not under it. In it. Caylee had died of heat exhaustion in the car while Casey and her boyfriend were getting drunk in a bar. George and Cindy covered up the death for their daughter. This caller was emphatic about having psychic abilities.

♦

Well, there you have it. Have at it, and this is just part of the onslaught of psychic tips that came in prior to Caylee’s body being discovered. Do you really want me to write about the months of August, September, October, November and December? I hope not, because I predict they will all be similar to these.

I imagine if we took snippets from each psychic and spit them out, we could come up with something not far from the truth, but the problem is, what pieces go with what parts? As is the case with Nostradamus, it’s easy to give him credit after the fact. If he was so good at predicting the future, how come no one has predicted something that hasn’t happened yet, based on his writings? Nope, it’s only after an event occurs that people credit him. No one sensed what was about to happen to Caylee, either. No one.

Thank you, Gracie34. It was your far-fetched, strung-out ideas that inspired me on this one.
