He Knew Things Only the Killers Knew | The Murder of Rose Swartwood | Murder Unscripted | E125

Police handed him a stack of 50 mugshots. He pulled out their two suspects.

August 1988, Elmira, New York. Rose Swartwood was 74, a kind, impeccably dressed retiree who would talk your ear off at the mailbox and spent every evening with her little sister. One morning her family found her beaten and stabbed in her own bed, and whoever did it had stayed long enough to scrub the apartment clean.

For almost two years, police were sure they knew who was responsible but could not prove it. So two detectives tried something that is not in any manual: they brought in a psychic, told him nothing, and set a stack of unlabeled mugshots in front of him. He described a cleanup no one outside the department knew about, a long knife, a ring on Rose’s hand, and then he reached into the pile and pulled out two faces.

Ed continues October's "Psychic Connections" block with a case that we skeptics can't fully explain!
