I used to watch a popular cable series on TV called "Psychic Detectives". What I learned over the years is that there are many well documented crime cases, corroborated by interviewed police officers and detectives, where famed psychics solved crimes while working with detectives, many of them numerous times. What are the odds? It was all part of my eventual turning away from dogmatic skepticism and fully accepting the reality of paranormal and PK phenomena. Here's a list of 20 actual cases that were solved with the help of psychics. Will you become a believer too?

"John DeMars was a happily married, 30-year-old New York City banker with two young children when he boarded his evening commuter train to Nutley, New Jersey, on December 20, 1974. But when the train stopped in Nutley, DeMars was not aboard. The police investigation, which addressed both foul play committed against DeMars and the possibility that DeMars had voluntarily run away, eventually called upon the assistance of psychic Dorothy Allison. Allison told detectives she saw John falling off the train and drowning. While Allison couldn’t say exactly where this had happened, she did say she saw a bow and arrow and the numbers 2, 2, 2.
Although law enforcement couldn’t make sense of the clues Allison offered, the body of John DeMars turned up two months later—on February 22 (2/22). A father and son had been practicing archery by the shore of the Passaic River, which runs along DeMars’ train route, when one of their arrows landed beside DeMars’ body in shallow water. Police later pieced together that DeMars had fallen asleep on the train, and when the conductor made an unscheduled stop along the Passaic River Bridge, DeMars, still half asleep, stepped off the train—falling off the bridge and drowning....
On May 15, 1976, 14-year-old Susan Jacobson left her Staten Island home for an after-school job at a local ice cream parlor and never returned home. Law enforcement dismissed the parents’ concerns, claiming the girl had simply run away with her boyfriend. In desperation, the Jacobsons contacted psychic Dorothy Allison. Upon meeting the Jacobsons, Allison experienced a disturbing vision in which Susan was strangled by her boyfriend, and she offered several clues as to where the body would be found. The clues, themselves, were mysterious: an abandoned car, the smell of fuel oil, two smokestacks, and the letters “MAR” in red spray paint.
Law enforcement declined to investigate the clues further, but incredibly enough, Jacobson’s father was able to use them to locate a rock spray-painted with the letters “MAR” at an abandoned World War I shipyard from which two smokestacks and an abandoned car could be seen. That’s where Susan’s body was found two years later, concealed in two oil drums. Crime scene evidence pointed to none other than the boyfriend, Dempsey Hawkins, a U.K. national who was deported back to England and sentenced to 22 years in prison."

It's only in the past century or so that psychics have been credited with solving seemingly unsolvable crimes like these.
