Used as a character reference or portrayed directly in several TV crime series the last 10 years, the only psychic who actually was asked by the FBI to lecture on the topic of psychic crime investigations has come under extensive scrutiny.
Witnesses came forward in 2006 and 2007 who cited deception in various claims made by Virginia-based police psychic Noreen Renier. After losing a Washington federal court decision brought by her prinicipal critic she is awaiting a decision by a U.S. Bankruptcy Court as to how much of her assets will be transferred to pay for approximately $55,000 claimed by skeptic writer John Merrell. For an overview on the witnesses and claims, with full update see www.amindformurder.com Thank you.

By now you've probably already checked out the web site www.amindformurder.com --- which is a critical overview of psychic Noreen Renier, often seen on paranormal TV series and a woman also used as a character base for TV shows which portray a psychic detective and/or psychic medium. As your base is Nashville (Renier's home is near Charlottesville, Virginia), much of her actual psychic work has been centralized in eastern Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia and Florida. She has been booked for use both by clients in those areas (as well as some worldwide), and also smaller southeastern police and sheriff departments over the past 28 years. As her major critic (which includes winning a recent series of court judgments against her in a Washington federal court), I have updated the web site to include newer witnesses that have come forward in reference to several of her fantasized claims. While not unique among psychics, Renier's claims (not necessarily her actual experiences) have formed the character basis used by several TV script writers. The web site outlines just how far TV viewers have been exposed to psychic garbage posing as actual events --- when in fact many of the psychic claims have no authentic basis.
