MT. Morris Township, Wisconsin (US):
He's legally blind, but Jeffrey Pierce says he sees things that most people cannot. Now, a family hopes Pierce, 52, of Mt. Morris Township will be able to see answers to a mysterious death that has puzzled a small Georgia town about two hours south of Atlanta. Pierce, who says he has had psychic abilities since he was a boy, will head to Ashburn, Ga., this week to meet with the family of Greg Wallace, a health care worker who was found dead in a pond in March.
Family members found Pierce through his Internet Web site and offered him about $3,000 to retrace Wallace's steps and look for "energy signatures," or psychic fingerprints, in hopes of learning the events that led to his death.
Turner County Sheriff's Lt. Thomas Mauldin said the case is still open, but police have no reason to believe Wallace was the victim of foul play. "The man didn't have a scratch on him," Mauldin said. But the family remains unconvinced.
"We think something bad happened," said Mark King, a cousin of Wallace. The family already hired three other psychics, and King said Pierce is likely their last hope.
An Iowa psychic found the body when it floated to the surface as she walked around the pond. She told the family he had been killed, but then she disappeared, King said. The family has not heard from her since.
