Not good enough, MR. Again: your claim = your responsibility to provide the evidence/sources/details/logic.
No..I'm not providing nitpicked details to you in distraction of the fact that psychics do indeed help solve crimes. I've provided plenty of confirmation of this. If you want the information on this case, look it up yourself.
Not good enough: You didn't answer my questions. I asked which ones and what information was provided. I didn't ask if one of the cops thinks the information was accurate, I asked what the information was and I asked how exactly did it help.
The source is the cop who worked on the case. Doesn't get any better than that.
Here's the basic problem, MR: cold reading and hot reading are techniques that really are proven to work. Unless it can be proven that the psychic provided information the police neither knew nor suspected, it can't be proven that the information was new and therefore had value. Beyond that, just saying the information was provided doesn't make it useful, which you have claimed it was. IE, saying the police "didn't know about all these murders" does not mean the "psychic" helped find the bodies.
LOL! Useful information is useful information, whether it was actually used or not.
Another way to do it that may be easier...Here's the wiki on the case:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wayne_Gacy
I suggest you read it first and foremost because the things you are saying imply you don't know the events of the case very well (more on that later...if you read the article, you may wish to revise some of your claims.).
Actually I posted a whole article on the details of the psychics involvement in the case. An article you complained about as being flooding. Now you want even MORE information? Not happening. All the relevant information has been provided.
Then, among other things, you will see that no mention of the involvement of psychics is made anywhere in the article. No big guesses or anonymous informants that could be a cover-story for psychics, just good, fast police work. So in order for psychics to have played a relevant role, you need to point to me where in the article the mention of psychics should be. Like: (for example) they had no idea that there could be bodies in his house until a psychic told them there could be.
Not happening. If you're now doubting the psychics' involvement in the case, then there's not much more to say. The details have been well-documented. The confirmation of their visions has been confirmed. To now suggest they weren't even involved in the case is simply ridiculous. I'm no longer pandering to your little ploy to distract from the demonstrated fact that psychics help solve crimes in contradiction to your blatant claim that they don't. Remember that? Oh yeah. You were proven wrong about that weren't you? See post #194 again!
