So of the psychic's three pieces of information, one was wrong another was self-evident and there's no evidence that the third was true - but even if it is, it's hardly remarkable.

And given all the common road signs that include the letter (Highway, Wrong Way, No Stopping, Parking, No Parking, Rough Road, Next Right, Emergency Stopping Only, etc.) it's almost certain that at least one sign with a "G" in it would be somewhere near the body by random chance. (Besides, if the psychic really wanted to be helpful, she could have specified that the location''s name had two "Gs," which would have greatly narrowed the possibilities.)įurthermore, there are thousands of signs on Long Island that contain the letter "G" somewhere on them, from billboards to storefronts to place names like Regent Drive, Long Island, and Cherry Grove. What about the third detail - the sign with a "G" somewhere on it? Actually there is no evidence that Barthelemy's body was indeed found near a sign containing the letter "G." Just because the body was found near a beach with a "G" in its name does not mean that any signs containing the letter "G" were near the corpse. In fact, since the psychic did not specify what kind or size of body of water (fresh water or salt water, lake, pond, river, stream, ocean, ditch, etc.), the victim's body probably could have been located nearly anywhere within a few hundred miles of where she was actually found, and it would have been "correct." This prediction is so broad and vague that it really can't be wrong. So that was wrong what about the other parts?Īny body left anywhere on Long Island is by definition going to be near a body of water since Long Island is, well, a long island completely surrounded by water.

The killer (or killers) did not need to bury the bodies because the thickets of trees, thorns, bayberries, branches, and brambles prevented anyone from seeing the bodies left exposed above the ground. Instead, they were found above ground along a heavily wooded several-mile stretch of the Long Island shore. According to news reports, neither Barthelemy nor the other bodies recovered so far were buried - in any grave, shallow or deep. Well, the psychic got the first claim wrong. Let's parse this out: "body buried in a shallow grave overlooking a body of water" and "a ‘G' in a sign nearby." INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: Ongoing Coverage of the Long Island Serial Killer Caseīut, like most psychic claims, these get less impressive the closer you look. It seems pretty amazing: A psychic apparently accurately predicted and described almost the exact spot where police would find Barthelemy's body nine months after her disappearance. The psychic also said "there was a ‘G' in a sign nearby." Last month, cops unearthed the skeletons of the victims, missing call girls, each wrapped in burlap bags on Long Island's Gilgo Beach. In April, the clairvoyant, hired by the desperate family of Melissa Barthelemy, 24, of Buffalo, chillingly saw "her body buried in a shallow grave overlooking a body of water," the police source said.

A psychic eerily predicted where the victim of a suspected serial killer could be found - nine months before cops dug up the corpse and that of three other young women on a Long Island beach, police sources said.
