Why didn’t the psychics find Jaycee Dugard?

Re: Why didn’t the psychics find Jaycee Dugard?
Because not all "psychics" are psychic. Most legit psychics are aware of exactly how much information they can obtain. But even with that, they can feel pressure to perform, and they will sometimes just make stuff up. But you also have the cold readers, and the people who think they are psychic because they have a handful of successful coincidences. I wouldn't be able to tell which unless I met this Dayle character in person.
Hey, you there. Yes, you.
If what I say sounds like the teacher from Charlie Brown (Wah wahh woohh wuh waah), then you should try college. It's fun, and only costs you your soul and several tens of thousands of dollars.  “I agree that by the standards of any other area of science that remote viewing is proven“ - Richard Wiseman Let's make directional hypotheses, test them repeatedly, replicate experiments, and publish results! Yay, science!

For every person who reads this valuable book there are hundreds of naïve souls who would prefer to have their spines tingled by a sensational but worthless potboiler by some hack journalist of the paranormal. You who now read these sentences join a small but wiser minority. Martin Gaardner (Psychology of the Psychic)
