Do detectives really use psychic mediums for unsolved murders?

Question

So the detectives on these programmes are actors? And the murders are made up? And the murder victims families are actors too?

Answer 1

No its a myth. Police use logic, witness statements and hard evidence to solve cases, the kind of thing you can present to a judge.

Answer 2

Some do, especially when they have run out of alternatives, and being pressured by families. For my ex-brother in-law was a leutinent, and he told me they tried it a couple of times. He also said, one was a quake, and the other helped some.

Answer 3

Absolutely not.

Answer 4

Been a cop 19 years and I have never seen a psychic at any scene. Ever. And it won't happen. Ever.  

Answer 5

I have been asked by Police investigators to assist them in these cases on 3 occasions. They have been documented, and one scene was screened on the Crime & Investigation Channel. I have not been wrong yet, and hope that I can keep assisting to help families and police members alike, the reward is truly amazing!

Answer 6

nope that's what you see on t.v real life is diff.....

Answer 7

If they do there should be an investigation into the criminal waste of tax payers money that psychics would be.

I would think think that kind of thing only happens on tv shows for the uneducated and superstitious masses.

Answer 8

The police use a wide variety of professionals to help them catch criminals. This includes psychologists/geographers (for profiling and they are noramlly trained in psychology as well) and also reformed/inactive criminals.

A lot os people see profiling/psychology on a par with myic meg and pyschics, but its very effective and has helped catch many criminals.
