In the CNN interview Etta says that on that first day she reported the "hunch" or whatever she felt that the police told her that they had not searched that area. Again, that was said 14 years after the fact.
I haven't had a chance to look over the other cases. I spent a bunch of time looking for info on this particular case. I never saw anything that preceded the 1987 reports. I wanted to see what was stated closer to the actual events. Seven years is a long time. It is possible that Etta was compelled by her incarceration to remodel her memories into a new form that reduced the psychic side of the story. It is possible, but I can't suggest one way or the other since I was unable to find fresher reports. Regardless I found it to be a very interesting story that you brought to my attention. Thanks.

I'm in a rush this morning as well so this will be a brief clarification...
The 99.9% number is metaphoric more than anything, denoting that most such reports can be shrugged off the instant you hear them based on content as well as the attitude/personality of the Psychic giving the details. When you start feeding officers information that connects dots to a crime, they sit up and pay attention a lot closer.

Check out this segment from Unsolved Mysteries about psychic detectives. Skeptics, how do you explain it?
“Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.” - Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

I don't have to watch it. Explanation: It's a TV show.
You do know "how do you explain this" is just asking for arm-chair pseudo-skepticism. In any case on a popular tv show you only have access to what the producers want you to, and no controls over anything. Stick with controlled studies.

Scepcop: do you understand how skepticism works? It's not just watching a video and spitballing on what the possible explanations are. It's about analysing the evidence and deciding whether it leads to reliable conclusions.
