I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted when I say psychics are fake. But sometimes a good lead is simply an idea that they hadn't considered yet. That's why police will take tips from anyone who feels they have one to give. I doubt they ever "go to" a psychic. It's probably more like a psychic shows up saying they come with tips. Then they advertise that they helped solve the case. Without the proper training and licensing, they're definitely not on the police payroll. I'm sure the vast majority of calls to Crime Stoppers are probably people's imaginations gone wild. But without leaving the door open, there is a lot they could miss.
