Isn't it sad how many of these cases go unsolved? First Holly Krewson and then Eve Brown.

What I think is funny.....
Sylvia claims something like a 95% accuracy rate, but in each and every case where the missing person claim could be compared to reality (when the person was later found either dead or alive), the accuracy is about nil. ETA: To be clear, I find her accuracy rate to be funny, not the situation. |

This will go up on the site.
QG: Did the ME determine when she had died, and was that prior to the taping of the Montel show? And, of course: transcript? |

I only wish this information had been public years ago. Just shows that the string of misses has been going on for quite some years now, and the deception is deeper than those who are current B fans could even realize.
One would think that with her abnormally high proclaimed accuracy rate that she would provide proof of that, or that Heather would post the proof on GSB, but instead they hide within the office in Campbell, hoping this storm blows over. I think the more of these stories that are public, and on SSB, the more difficult it becomes to really believe in the Psychic SB. Great job. |

I know, so sad.
And the person who did it to her is still free and unpunished. |

Woo-hoo! You go QG!
Here's something I've been thinking of doing for sometime: a while ago, I did a New York state papers search for Sylvia Browne and found many local papers reporting on local people going on Montel to ask her about missing person's cases. I did follow ups and found that all of those people were still missing- the "Missing" websites were still up and all. So how about something that profiles some still missing cases SB has "worked on" over the years? It could be very powerful: 1999- Jane Roe's family appear on Montel Police photo of Jane Roe and the caption "Jane Roe Still Missing" 2000- Person X's friends appear on Montel Missing poster photo of Person X, "Person X Still Missing" And so on. |
