JOURNALISTS, TV & MEDIA
EVERY case featured on this page and stored elsewhere have been lodged with the police as stated. At least one independent media witness, employed on a prominent newspaper at the time of each case is able to verify key dates when Carol Everett's identification drawings and information were produced and received by police. In all cases this occurred before police released a video/photo fit picture of their own, if any. Many other similar cold case identifications are lodged with other area police forces, featuring unsolved murder cases that are waiting for answers. But lets be fair, some cases are not easy to crack by normal means, sometimes that little extra may be needed.
POLICE to MEDIA CO-OPERATION, or NOT
The problem we all find, after any 'big' crime case is that police departments usually go into some form of damage limitation mode. Often completely contradicting their very own previous official statements in an effort to make things seem to add up. An exercise in ensuring no one can so easily recall or criticise long winded and sometime really expensive errors in lines of enquiry while getting to a result. As you know, this happens even with the big newspapers and news agencies, who will print any old quote from officialdom even though it may be a bit suspect or even contradictory.
Its a fact that the only time police will really speak and work with the media is if they want something published. Most other times as any newspaper journalist will tell you, its basically a stone wall, perpetuated by media afraid of crossing the line and asking a direct question or pointing out the obvious without an official squeak of officialdom.
PRIME EXAMPLE OF ABOVE.
Probably 85% of cases I would guess, particularly in murder cases NOT committed by a relative, associate or friend the murderer is not located. If police do actually catch the murderer it is usually through having a really lucky break along the way or someone spotted the killer accurately. More often than not they don't catch them at all. Nothing much like CSI here at all, if the murderer is a complete unknown or a random killer, and where no DNA is on file. Remember Carol Everett works her cases with absolutely nothing.
This is basically an example of what you are up against with police co-operation. Many more cases follow a similar pattern.
Take the Sandra Parkinson case. Right up to the last minute police had no idea who the murderer was until he hung himself and left a confession note. Police admitted to journalists at an early case press conference, and this was published in The Sunday Independent too, as they were quoted, that that they always took Carols Everett's work seriously and they would be looking at the drawings she had done for the murderer in the Sandra Parkinson case and they were aware of her accuracy in other past cases. But, in this case ie the Sandra Parkinson (waitress murder) murder case (see web site), after police had spent like £750000 ($1.27million) chasing all over the UK and abroad interviewing people, still not getting anywhere, how could they admit or rather try not to admit, that some psychic, ie Carol Everett, in Devon had drawn the portrait of the killer just a few days after the event and it was accurate. Also how could they remind people that the portrait of the killer had been published in Scotland, and also in England with express permission from their own police press office to the newspaper concerned that this was ok by them to publish the picture carol had drawn. Carols picture was also printed in the Sunday People and so the picture had been verified by millions of people. Prior to the day police released the official name of the killer and his real picture.
People at the time guessed it would have been easy for the police to show a few people the picture Carol produced early on to see if it was recognised from day one. Strangely enough police never did have a photo fit picture of their own for the media during that whole of case, though it was announced three times on separate occasions on the National News that they had one coming any time from witnesses. It never arrived because of conflict with first hand witnesses descriptions, as with the Washington Sniper Carol was right all along right from day one.
If you go back to that case now, ie Sandra Parkinson, it was a huge UK case at the time, also go back to the police, even with their direct quotes from the time in front of you, you will be hard pressed to get any police officer in the UK to admit a psychics work was used, or as in a lot of Carols police cases that she actually beat them hands down very early in a particular case.
As most journalists know, the only way this will happen normally is if you get their police press office, (where people change constantly to promote official vagueness), along with the facts that leave them squirming with no reasonable way of deniability. The official line is to play down any psychic involvement to an absolute minimum, understandably to prevent every wannabe psychic sending in useless information.
When Carol started doing medical diagnosis for people she really worried herself if doctors did not agree with what she was getting at straight away or at least very early in a case she had diagnosed. But it sometimes took a year or more for doctors to catch up. Now with years of proven cases and often knowing the work can be more accurate than most of the doctors anyway. Knowing also that top Harley street doctors now want to know what she has to say about 'impossible' to diagnose cases, and then go on and act on her recommendations after research, it helps some. Carol doesn't bother worrying anymore, because those very same original doctors usually agreed with her findings in the end.
So its the same with the crime cases, if you cant get police to go along with a story and actually help, and if you can be real sure it all happened and it can be verified through other independent witnesses of impeccable character etc it would make much more interesting TV or journalism to do the stories anyway, and include the fact that police had all the relevant information, or the FBI in the Washington as in the sniper case. And actually had the means to perhaps solve a case early and maybe save lives. I very much doubt you will get any denials when its the truth, particularly with any of Carols cases anyway. But we don't chase the police for praise, we have much better things to do. But if journalism had more guts and came off the fence some then I guess there are a lot of other real interesting stories out there that can be proven anyway that are just waiting for somebody, or even a nobody, to squeak out after being cornered in 'officialdom' to say, oh yes, oops, sorry we do actually keep proper records and do remember how it could have helped.
