Ep. 213 - The Second Sight Aug 21, 2023

Show notes

One of the most controversial aspects of law enforcement occur when police investigators use psychics to provide information in solving crimes. Back in 1993, a Montana couple named John and Nancy Bosco were brutally murdered in their bed. Strangely enough, three people involved in the murder claim to have had psychic visions of the crime: the victim's mother, a famous psychic his mother hired, and the murderer himself.
