Laurie McQuary and The Undead Reporter

Laurie McQuary claimed to have worked as a psychic detective for 30 years, solving hundreds of missing people cases. A producer from the show Inside Edition pretended to be the brother of a missing child in order to test her accuracy and capacity to deliver on that promise. He arrived with a photo of the missing child and scheduled an interview. The whole cost was $400. McQuary went on to describe how the girl was sexually molested and then had her head smashed with a rock. She claimed to be able to find the body as well.

The following day, she had another appointment, this time with Lisa Guerrero, an on-air correspondent for Inside Edition. Guerrero had some reservations about McQuary's previous reading because the photo of the allegedly dead girl was one of Guerrero's childhood photos. McQuary abruptly exited the interview, but ten other psychics confirmed that the girl in the photo was deceased.
