Media: Psychic 'finds' missing Alaska woman's body

[Questioninggeller]

I just saw this story picked up by the Associated Press. It seems like a complete non-issue. A woman was missing, a man contacted a psychic at $200/hour and she gave vague information. Body is found, psychic Katherine Marie Jones claims success and gets PR.

“They kind of looked at me like I was weird,” he said. “I showed them a note and they kind of blew it off.”

Trooper Sgt. Rick Roberts remained skeptical of Capps’ claim. He said he was only aware that a DOT worker found the crash site while driving past it on the Steese.

Edit. She does not charge for missing persons. See this page http://katherinejonesconsulting.com/8.html

Anyone want to contact her via phone and ask her to apply for the MDC? I think she qualifies for the media presence.
