Missing Persons

Your ego should never interrupt a reading, but if you’re
ever involved in a missing persons case, it is imperative
that your ego remain quiet.

A missing person’s reading is one of the most difficult
readings you will ever do. You must ensure you trust your
information, and never let yourself get in the way.

It is important you have permission from both sides to
tune in. On too many occasions, I have witnessed
mediums becoming involved in cases without an invite
from spirit or the family.

Even if you have spirit come to you, you never approach
the family without their request for assistance.

Families of missing persons go through an intense
amount of trauma. They don’t just have the loss and
unknown of their loved one to deal with; they are
constantly approached and harassed from the media,
mediums, and other people, all trying to elevate their
own status, or validate their own existence, without
giving any care, consideration or respect to the family for
what they are going through.

I was affected by this personally, from a young age. I
would receive communication from a missing person’s
spirit, but I was never approached by the missing
person’s family for information, so I had to learn very
quickly how to manage that within myself.

Any time I have received indisputable evidence as to the
whereabouts of a missing person, or a missing person’s
remains, I put it through the national missing persons hot
line.

The information you receive from spirit doesn’t come
with a guarantee, so it is emotionally dangerous for you
to suggest to the loved ones of a missing person that
anyone will be found in a certain place, or even at all –
especially when you haven’t been asked for your input or
involvement in a situation in the first place.

Never allow your ego to put a family through any more
pain than they are already going through. I have
witnessed the raw and severe pain that families of
missing persons go through. This needs to be respected
at all times.

Many mediums let their minds run wild, seeing worst
case scenarios from watching too many horror movies.
From my experience, these scenarios are not
representative of reality.

Most of the time, when a medium has been invited to
become involved in a case, they are not told whether
their information was correct, or even close. You need to
trust spirit to do their work, without any interference
from you, and then let go of any expectation or
outcome.

I’ve given evidence over the years, with some success.
Over 10 years ago, I did find someone who was alive.
Within half an hour of my reading, the man was found in
exactly the spot I had been shown. He was not in the
healthiest of conditions, but I was able to prepare the
family for that.

There are so many other aspects of missing persons
cases to be aware of.

I have been involved in a few cases where drugs, and
gangs, have been involved and the missing person had
disappeared. In one case in particular, the family had
spoken to many different mediums, but came back to
thank me for the overwhelming evidence I had given that
had provided confirmation of the facts of the case. I was
asked to come to the area of the disappearance for a
week to assist, and although I was very grateful for both
the invite, and the wonderful feedback, I declined.

A few years prior, I had been involved in a murder case in which
some of that same family were involved, and I had
named the man who was eventually charged.
Always put the safety of yourself and your own family
first. Never become more involved than just giving
information. It is not our job to go on what I call ‘witch
hunts’.

Assist people in the best way that you can, and always
set the intention with spirit to keep yourself and your
family safe at all times. Give your information and then
leave it be. Usually someone will let you know what
transpires, but not always. Either way is fine.

I try never to watch the news so that my information can
never be swayed. I listen to some radio, though I turn it
off if a case I’m working on comes on. I cannot express
strongly enough how important personal responsibility is
when it comes to missing persons cases, whether you
become directly involved in them or not.
