The article's writer makes a very good point about the typical information mediums/psychics provide: it's often general and vague that it's subject to subjective interpretation later:

The problem is that even the best psychic detective cases deals with veridical information given on cases that turns out to be retroactively correct after the case is finally solved, but doesn't directly lead to discovering the body or the murderer, etc. Even if important veridical details given were correct and realized after the fact, and even if the police detectives could have utilized them had they understood them correctly, they didn't and it still didn't solve the crime.

If a psychic could tell police exactly where to find a body (alive or dead) or lead them directly to a criminal, then that would be successful. Per the FBI, there has never been one such case. As such, psychics are not helpful and waste valuable police resources and your tax money. Telling the police a body will be found in the woods by a school is not helpful in the least. Telling a family that their child is dead when they are very much alive is criminal.
