I couldn't find the page to vote but I would agree with the no vote if I could.
Here is a good article that explains things better than I could:

Very interesting case. I'll have to look it up. Unfortunately, Radford would probably still try to say that the case was not solved by the psychic because of the fact that she did not lead the police to the body. As far as Alex Tsakiris goes, I hope he is successful in his psi endeavors, but I have a problem with some of the things that he has said in the past, particularly about atheism and the lie (which he knows is a lie) that materialism is a foundational pillar of atheism. If you want some irony, listen to the episode with Denyse O'Leary where Denyse, a hardcore Catholic, is defending atheism while Alex, a not nearly as hardcore religious person, is slamming atheism. Maybe the next time you talk to Alex about this Dorothy Allison case you can talk to him about this issue, and possibly suggest a guest like David Staume, the author of the book called The Atheist Afterlife.
