This is actually an urban myth. There is not ONE documented case where a psychic "solved" a crime. There have been a few lucky guesses but usually it is things like "I see a body down by the river".
Most rivers are VERY long. No psychic has ever said "The body is on the west side of the river 1/4 mile north from the bridge".
And most police departments do not "hire" psychics. Usually when a particularly horrible crime occurs the police are deluged by people from the loony bin claiming to be psychics.

I’m not an expert myself on the topic, but I’ve been learning a bit more from a new show on Court TV called Psychic Detectives. It’s on Wednesday’s at 9:30pm in case you want to watch it too.

I'll make you an expert: IT DOESN'T EXIST. Educate yourself at
www.randi.org - read up on the topic of "cold reading".
Also, ask yourself this question - if psychics were real, why has not one ever been able to win the $1,000,000 prize put out by the James Randi Educational Foundation which is for anyone who can prove they have paranormal powers?
Even so called "expert" psychics like Sylvia Browne refuse to be tested. They know they are fakes and won't admit and in the meantime keep fleecing the public out of millions.
