They then develop a theory that Cornish was actually murdered by the police's initial suspect, her boyfriend Paul McCarran, who was enraged when he found out that Cornish went on a date with his best friend. But the judge does not allow this theory to be presented to the jury, because it's entirely based on rumor and gossip.

There's something else that the jury doesn't hear either, and it ties in with what Nancy Weber saw when she first visualized Reese in Cornish's apartment, specifically with how Cornish's hands were bound behind her back with an extension cord. Prosecutors want to be allowed to put some of Reese's former girlfriends on the stand.

Doing so, they say, will show that this is not the first time that Reese has engaged in bondage, sexual assault, and torture. But none of these girlfriends ever press charges. And in the judge's eyes, what happened in the past has no bearing in the case and would only create undue prejudice.

The jury does hear testimony from Reese's boss at the sod farm, who reveals that Reese confessed to him on the job shortly before his arrest. And they also hear a conversation between Reese and his fiance that authorities were given permission to record inside the prosecutor's office. In that tape, Reese offers up the same confession he gave on videotape to the police.

In October of 1989, a jury finds John Reese Jr. guilty on 11 counts. including capital murder, felony murder, and two counts of aggravated sexual assault. He's sentenced to life in prison with parole possible after 30 years, a result that might have been impossible if not for the assistance of Nancy Weber.

But as novel as it might seem, she's hardly the only psychic who's helped law enforcement crack a tough case. For more than a century, other psychic investigators such as Rosemarie Kerr, Dorothy Allison, and Snell Newman have been helping law enforcement solve some of their most baffling crimes as well. And though their methods can sometimes differ, they've yielded real results.

And though their methods can sometimes differ, they've yielded real results.

In 1901, Snell Newman saw a murder take place in her mind like she was watching a movie. What she saw directly led police to a man who had murdered his girlfriend. In the 1970s, Dorothy Allison saw and smelled things that were present at the site where a missing 14-year-old girl's body was found, leading to the arrest of the killer two years after she disappeared.

And around the time Elizabeth Cornish's murder was being solved, Rosemarie Kerr was working on a case of her very own. In Kerr's case, physically touching a photo was what jump-started her visions, visions that helped catch two men who had killed in cult blood. The work of psychic detectives often goes unseen.

Many dismiss them as con artists who exploit those who are grieving or looking for answers to unanswerable questions. And that's certainly fair criticism. Not every self-proclaimed psychic has yielded results the same way Nancy Weber or Dorothy Allison have. But in the eyes of law enforcement, psychic detectives can be a legitimate resource.

Even the CIA has released a memo detailing the positive relationship between psychics and law enforcement agencies. In the memo, 11 police officers who had used a psychic in a case were interviewed. Out of those 11, eight said that the psychic had provided them useful information that was otherwise unknown.

Three had said that missing bodies were discovered using details provided by the psychic, and only one officer said that he wouldn't seek help of the psychic again. So while it does remain rare for a police department to team up with the psychic, it's an unlikely partnership that's been taking place for well over a century.
