How about updating this? http://www.stopsylviabrowne.com/articles/scorecard_missingmurdered.shtml

Another success story for Robert

Another success story for RobertAck! I did, but forgot to upload the change. Thanks for the reminder.

Was there any mention of what actually caused his broken neck? Was that the cause of death? I've got to get to work so no time to go through the Mercury archives. Just thinking it odd he went from a neck sprain and concussions on medications to a broken neck in a vacant lot, and as the family I'd be twice as angry with Sylvia Browne that she not only led me to believe he was alive, wandering toward Canada, but failed to mention he had in fact been killed and/or attacked and died as a result.

Well done article as always, Robert!

[slyjoe]

Nice article.

In the conclusion section you ask:

She also claims to only work such cases through law enforcement. Was that the case this time?

The article from July 6 would seem to indicate it was the family that asked for her help. Or when you do these articles are you looking for something more?

[ExMinister]

Robert, I also would be curious to know whether she charged the family her going rate for a reading, in spite of her bogus claims of not charging for this type of work. It would be my guess that she did. In fact, (if I had any) I'd bet money that's exactly what she did.

[Empress]

Another great job, Robert. Keep up the excellent work--it's clear from your correspondence and the comments posted here that you've really changed many of her followers' minds. Kudos.

[sinclairmcevoy]

Swing and a miss. Another hit for you Robert. Does she have no conscience? I guess the answer is obvious. If she did, she wouldn't be doing what she does.

[Wildy]

'Twas a good article, RSLancastr.

I get the feeling that the only way that you would learn if SB charged was to either have contact you, or you contact them, the family members in question.

<grovelling>

On another note if you get a whole lot of people e-mailing that you are wrong and saying that they read it from a link posted on FCN that's my bad :blush:.

I have your site in my bookmarks toolbar, and it was the only thing I could think of in short notice.

Just look at the bright side, a bunch of woos will read your site and it would go towards your page ranking...

Sorry.

So Robert, let's see, if Sylvia has an 85% accuracy rate, with the number of failed readings you have found so far she must have how many hundreds of success stories we haven't heard about yet?

I'm sure you're bound to stumble on a huge cache of them soon...

You'll know the time is right when you see a formation of flying pigs.

[Brown]

It's such a typical story: people "consult" with Browne out of desperation. I can understand their motivation. If there's a chance, just a chance, that Browne knows what she's talking about, shouldn't we pursue any leads she could give??

The sad, practical truth is that Browne does not know what she's talking about. In this case (and, it appears, in other cases as well), she did not impart any actual knowledge.

Normal people having a modest sense of ethics would, I think, be ashamed to try to pass off their wild-ass guesses as some sort of reliable knowledge. Self-proclaimed psychics, however, seem to lack this moral inhibition.

[Loss Leader]

Another nice one, Robert.

I think it may be time to break the "Articles" section up into catagories.

Indeed Robert, it is really great of you to catalog for SB the 15% of bad calls she makes. Once you are through I'm sure shill (Ha! freudian misspelling!) roll out a list of the %85 hits ... and than we'll have a full record.

[DrDisco]

I'm going to let you in on a little bit of New Age double-think. Back in my woo days, here's how I would have harmonized Sylvia's reading and the facts of what happened to Kneebone.

Teresa Kneebone had reported that Sylvia had psychically said Richard was "not dead and that he could be traveling in Canada . . . and have partial amnesia." Here's how Sylvia was "right": At the time of the reading, Richard was not physically dead. He was lying behind that building, dying. His soul, however, had already tried to depart from the physical world but the Silver Cord had not yet been severed. The soul, in this limbo, was travelling the earth in search of its way home. It couldn't return to the physical body, but couldn't cross over to the other side, either. Thus, at the time of reading, the soul had wandered as far away as Canada (physical distance is no barrier to the noncorporeal being) and it was confused, as if it had "amnesia."

I'm telling you, this is EXACTLY how I would have explained it and gotten Sylvia off the hook. Good god I'm glad to have gotten away from that crap!!!

[RSLancastr]

Was there any mention of what actually caused his broken neck?Not that I can find.

Well done article as always, Robert!Thanks, EM!

Nice article.Thanks, slyjoe.

The article from July 6 would seem to indicate it was the family that asked for her help. Or when you do these articles are you looking for something more?I felt the article was not specific enough. I am diong further research.

It would be my guess that she did. In fact, (if I had any) I'd bet money that's exactly what she did.You and me both, EM.

Another great job, Robert.Thanks, Empress!

Swing and a miss. Another hit for you Robert. Does she have no conscience?None that I can detect.

'Twas a good article, RSLancastr.Thanks, Wildy. And no need to apologize for dropping a link to my site anywhere!

So Robert, let's see, if Sylvia has an 85% accuracy rate, with the number of failed readings you have found so far she must have how many hundreds of success stories we haven't heard about yet?I'll let you know as soon as that happens!

Self-proclaimed psychics, however, seem to lack this moral inhibition.Agreed.

Another nice one, Robert.Thanks, LL.

I think it may be time to break the "Articles" section up into catagories.No, it was time to do that months ago! Unfortunately, I have not had the time to do it right, so I have not done it at all.

Once you are through I'm sure shill (Ha! freudian misspelling!) roll out a list of the %85 hits ... and than we'll have a full record.It's not for lack of asking!

I'm telling you, this is EXACTLY how I would have explained it and gotten Sylvia off the hook. Good god I'm glad to have gotten away from that crap!!!Now if we could just get you away from Disco... :D

[Wildy]

Thanks, Wildy. And no need to apologize for dropping a link to my site anywhere!

Actually I'm apologising on the off chance you get inundated in hate mail from this place.

Actually, Robert writes that he's looked at some 50 cases already.

Now it they represent 15% failures, then there are a minimum of 280+ sucess stories just waiting to be found :)

Isn't it odd that it's proving so difficult to find any of them :)

[FriedMahooga]

Hi. I'm new to this forum, but have been an admirer of the SSB site for some time. Well done on another powerful article. Is there no end to the number of missing person cases Browne has got wrong?

Oh, on that note, RSL, I remember some time ago that you mentioned writing an article about Browne's involvement in the Polly Klaas case. Is that still in the works or has it been shelved? Just a bit curious...

[RSLancastr]

Actually I'm apologising on the off chance you get inundated in hate mail from this place.Not so far! But hey, as long as they actually bother to read some of the site, I don't care what they write to me.

Actually, Robert writes that he's looked at some 50 cases already.Actually, EMM and QG have looked into around a hundred by now, if I recall.

Now it they represent 15% failures, then there are a minimum of 280+ sucess stories just waiting to be found :)The 50 (or 100) includes cases where no resolution could be found. They could be successes or failures.

Isn't it odd that it's proving so difficult to find any of them :):) indeed.

1. Browne claims to have given law enforcement the initials of the man who abducted and murdered Polly Klaas.
2. She offers no proof of this.
3. Mark Klaas (Polly's father) says that she had no involvement in the case.

At the time of the reading, Richard was not physically dead. He was lying behind that building, dying. His soul, however, had already tried to depart from the physical world but the Silver Cord had not yet been severed.
You missed the bit about him being "badly decomposed"?

Very difficult, indeed. I myself have looked at more than a hundred and found: a) cases that couldn't be followed up on at all b) cases that were never solved, by SB or anyone else, and c) cases where she was spectacularly wrong.

I never expected to find a single correct one and I wasn't disappointed.

[deep thoughts]

You would think with her outstanding failure rate she would just give up the the missing person business.

[RSLancastr]

You would think with her outstanding failure rate she would just give up the the missing person business.Actually, I might be wrong here, but I don't recall her doing any missing person shows on Montel since her Shawn Hornbeck turned up alive.

Anyone else remember differently?

[DrDisco]

You missed the bit about him being "badly decomposed"?

No, because he was badly decomposed at the time he was found. I'm saying it would have been excused by the Browneites by saying at the time of the reading he wasn't dead yet.

Also, RSL, there's NO WAY you're going to pry me from my Disco! http://www.funfilesandsmiles.com/smileys2/discocrazedkris.gif

I offer my humble apologies to you - and to QuestioningGeller I think - for all of the sterling work that you have done in researching the claws! I guess you must be extremely clean - after all, you must feel in need of a shower after each foray into Clawland. :)

That must push the apparent number of successes that still can't be found way over my very conservative guess :)

BTW - you don't run a tavern in Springfield do you?

[FriedMahooga]

1. Browne claims to have given law enforcement the initials of the man who abducted and murdered Polly Klaas.

Have you noticed that Browne often claims to have supplied the initials of perpertrators to law enforcement? (She did exactly the same thing on AC 360, by "apparently" telling police that the ski mask rapist's last name began with "S"). Isn't it strange how she only seems to be psychic enough to come up with initials and not complete names? :boggled:

3. Mark Klaas (Polly's father) says that she had no involvement in the case.

I feel so sad for Mark Klaas. I saw him on a youtube video some time ago and saw what he went through with that other so-called "psychic", Kathlyn Rhea - who is one of the most callous people I have ever had the misfortune to see. It's really sick how these people try to take money and credit by falsely claiming that they solved cases.

Thank you very much :). You are very kind.

You have no idea. Every time I get to work on the Claws, I feel in need of Peptobismol, antacid, some strong coffee, aspirin and a glass of Polish beer. :) You think she's bad now, wait until you hear some of the stories I've gathered that didn't make it to the site. It's very hard if you make the mistake of taking it to heart but I can't say there weren't times when I enjoyed it.

By my count, if I am indeed wrong and have indeed somehow have been wrong all this time, Sylvia Browne should have solved more than 670 successful cases. Funny how no one, including Sylvia herself, has ever been able to find one.

Hehe, no. It's actually a popular counting rhyme:

As I wrote earlier - kudos to you for doing a most distressing and depressing task.

Actually, I dimly recall the rhyme from my long-lost childhood. :)

I thought that perhaps you'd cleverly linked your life as a Springfield tavern owner with a Child's nursery rhyme. :) I have never, for even one moment, thought you were RSL's sock puppet :)

Actually, German Beer is also very good for this :) (of course, I would say that, wouldn't I :))
