Diane Lazarus: Corpse Finder or Crook

Earlier this year the UK was "treated" to a new TV series called "Britain"s Psychic Challenge" . There are a few sites covering the details of this show, so I won"t recover old ground. My focus is on the eventual winner, a Mrs Diane Lazarus. Yes – that is her real name, by marriage to a solicitor whom she assists with murder cases – something possibly worth bearing in mind.

Diane's main contribution to her winning status came from 2 particular challenges, both of which concerned locating "missing" people hidden within an area they were brought to. In both cases Diane thought for a few moments, and then walked off directly to the "bodies" by the most direct route. She found them both within minutes where even professional searchers had floundered a bit. It was admittedly quite surprising, but I didn't feel that enough information was availble to us as viewers to fully consider the validity of the test. At the end of the series Diane announced that thanks to those performances she had been asked to work with the Air and Coastguard Rescue Service and she has accepted that offer.
