The Psychic Who Finds Missing Children

I email him, but I'd never get past "YOU (rule 8) BLOODSUCKER...."

ETA: About Robert Lindblad (http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id7.html):.... In 1987 he studied Political Science at Concordia University and graduated in1991. It was during this time that Lindblad discovered he had psychic abilities - and what's more - was able to find missing children.

Since then he's been solving such cases - be it murder, disappearance, kidnapping, accidental death or suicide. He has never charged anyone for this service because he insists it is immoral to charge a parent to tell them what happened to their child. He claims he has solved over 130 cases.

Lindblad also believes he was instrumental in helping the police catch the notorious Dutroux. A week after he called the Belgium police, they busted him [Dutroux].

He was recently interviewed on J.E [a French investigative reporter show] and apparently, the mother of a missing child was so impressed with Lindblad, she immediately called the show asking for his help. Sadly, the news he had for her was not so good. His work continues.

In 1995 he created CHILD SEARCH.

CHILD SEARCH is a free 24hr 7day service which traces the whereabouts of missing children who are in danger anywhere on the planet and identifies their kidnappers.

ETA: About Robert Lindblad (http://childsearchpsychic.tripod.com/id7.html):

So don't email him. Email the police forces he claims to have helped, and get their take on it. See if anyone, anywhere can verify anything he said. He makes very precise claims - shouldn't be hard to check on.

Looking at the scary photo, I'd be quite happy to believe that he can accurately identify the location of missing children.

In most cases, I'm guessing he'd answer "in my cellar" ;)

He's a prime candidate for the Challenge, though, as he says he can pinpoint the location of a given child down to a street corner. I'm having a psychic flash that it's not going to happen, though :rolleyes:

Thanks for that. I notice how he neither "puts up" nor "shuts up".

Wow...nothing like beating a dead horse.

When someone calls me on a claim I make, I want to be able to back it up. If I can't, I admit it. But that's the difference between most of us on this forum and folks like Lindblad.

Really, I'd love to see this guy go down in flames.

He's an arrogant you know what. I'm furious. :mad:

Oooohhhh. Calling RSLancaster?

[drfrank]

Thanks for the link, Jim.

The case really doesn't sound that amazingly impressive.

OK, the child had been missing for 6 weeks and therefore, unfortunately, was unlikely to still be alive. What's the most likely cause? Well, if there's an easy place to drown within walking distance then voila, point to that.

If it turns out that you're wrong and they never find the child, say they're not searching in the lake hard enough. If he's found elsewhere, simply say that he'd been to the lake before whatever else happened.

He spammed another forum that I'm on, today. So I've just posted a link to your blog.
It's a New Agey type forum; a lot of people there tend to say "Well, OK, some psychics are fake, but Sylvia Browne/John Edwards/James Praagh really do help people..." Hopefully, they'll go to Project Jason and read about the other side of psychics.

Oooohhhh. Calling RSLancaster?

Just what I was thinking. :D

He seems like a prime candidate for someone to investigate.

Thanks, Sophia8....I hope so too.

does anyone one know if Randi used to run a "Put up or shut up" contest Lindblad mentions. In the FAQs it says the contest grew from 1000 to the current 1 million but doesn't mention stages in between.

5 click throughs so far to the blog.

Well, there was a "Put Up or Shut Up" contest for:
Y2K - http://www.scn.org/mt/misc/y2k.html
A sports radio program - http://www.softycentral.com/sounds/snds2004funstuf.htm#Anchor-Hermann-49575
A sports website - http://majorwager.com/index.cfm?page=27
A John Major's contest - http://visionsbeforemidnight.blogspot.com/2006/01/last-orders.html

But so far no hits for James Randi...

I found it, Lindblad actually posted it.

From the site:

Lindblad also believes he was instrumental in helping the police catch the notorious Dutroux. A week after he called the Belgium police, they busted him [Dutroux].

I hope the families of Dutroux' victims, the cops who tried to do their job, and the actual informants who led to his arrest, hear about that piece of [rule8] . Dutroux had been suspected by Belgian police and under surveillance from October 1993 until his arrest on 08.13.1998 following a call to the police from a family who recognised him, his wife and an accomplice watching children at a public swimming pool ! Given the way the case was bungled by Belgian police, a real medium (as if such an animal existed :rolleyes: ) would have avoided the death of several young girls :mad:

The chronology of Dutroux's arrest can be found here (http://www.radicalparty.org/belgium/dutroux/chronolo.htm) (in French)

Oooohhhh. Calling RSLancaster?Actually, it seems like a natural for the PsychicPredators site - Kelly, how is that coming along?

Sophia8, did you see on that posting board that the psychic would not "help" the other poster, and in fact said that he didn't care at all just because his guess is that the child is a runaway?

This appears in contrast to the caring self he tries to portray on his home page. :mad:

Never mind - there'll be lots more chance to link your blog. There are regular debates about psychics there, with some priceless "new agers say the darndest things" posts. For instance, here's what one poster said about John Edwards:
How about, or would you believe, the human race acts like they believe in stuff, even when they don't. Are you talking about the real John Edward or the one on channel 9? Puzzling as it may seem it is quite a distance between the real and the imaginary.
Well, if Edwards was really there, or consciously there, it might help his reception with the television viewing community. Of course, there will be skeptics, but the point I was trying to state was that whether he's legit or not, he is helping to stir a positive development of information concerning what REALLY happens to a persons soul when their body dies. This is kind of beneficial to humanity.

This may be the start of a new thread!

They removed the entire thread? Why?

Wacky JE quote...sheesh.

Link away!

[RSLancastr]

The "real" versus the "imaginary" John Edward?

I don't follow that at all, but perhaps the poster is talking about the "live" versus the "taped" John Edward.

I know that some believers in Edward's nonsense feel that sometimes, when they are watching a (taped) episode of the show, that Edward is actually communicating with their (the viewer's) loved one, and that the reading was really meant for them, instead of (or in addition to) the person Edward is talking to in the studio.

It's another example of the power of WANTING it all to be real, and of the desperate desire some have to communicate with a loved one who has passed on.

And, an example of how generic most of Edward's cold readings are, so that they apply to a large number of people.

Ahh, and he lives in my city (Montreal).

I'd be glad to do some work to debunk this guy if I knew where to start. I hate the thought of people taking someone like him seriously. Plus I need more stuff to do this summer anyway...

[LostAngeles]

I find it interest...

I'm lying.

I find it f***ing telling that the passages you're quoting from his site use words like, "claims," and, "believes."

Let me actually be f***ing honest about these motherf***ers. Just because the turd is equivocating with his language, doesn't mean I have to.

[sophia8]

Sorry, my bad. I couldn't find the thread, that's all (it's a big forum). It's still there.
Over 24 hours ago, the woman he insulted challenged him to find a real missing child - a boy who had disappeared from her town some years ago.
Has he replied yet? Oooh, I'll let you guess....

I guess the pic was taken before he had the swastika tattooed on the forehead.

Someone on the thread has now asked him if he helps with adult cases, too. Given his nasty comment about the child he decided was a runaway, I doubt it.
