Psychic Explores Song case
Nationally recognized psychic Carla Baron never knew murder suspect Hugo Selenski or Penn State student Hyunjung Cindy Song. The missing person's case has led police to Luzerne County, back to the State College area and into the psychic world.
(PRWEB) November 30, 2004 -- Nationally recognized psychic Carla Baron never
knew murder suspect Hugo Selenski or Penn State student Hyunjung Cindy
Song.
In a case that has baffled Centre County authorities for more than
three years, the 44-year-old psychic profiler from Los Angeles, Calif., has been
consulted by Ferguson Township police regarding the disappearance of the
21-year-old college student.
The missing person's case has led police to
Luzerne County, back to the State College area and into the psychic
world.
Song was last seen by two friends in the early morning hours of
Nov. 1, 2001. The girls attended a Halloween party and drove Song to her
Ferguson Township apartment.
Luzerne County authorities, working on five
murders in Kingston Township, provided the first significant clue for Ferguson
police.
"It's very frustrating," Ferguson Township Det. Brian Sprinkle
said. "It's very unusual because we don't have a crime scene and we don't have a
body. It's still considered a missing person's investigation.
"A missing
person's investigation is not a crime. But information from up your area is the
most promising over the last three years."
Paul Weakley, a police
informant, told police that murder suspect Hugo Selenski led him to believe that
Selenski had something to do with Song's disappearance, police said.
In
January 2002, the Penn State Paranormal Organization asked Det. Sprinkle to
consider another source in his probe - a psychic profiler.
Baron has appeared
on Court TV, other networks and assisted grieving families in more than 150
cases through her special cognitive powers.
"The club asked me if I could
talk to her," Det. Sprinkle said. "She provided a lot of
information."
Baron said she does not solicit law enforcement agencies
but has been asked by several throughout the country to assist in missing
person's or homicide investigations. Primarily families of murder victims
contact her, she said.
In mid-October 2003, Baron and Det. Sprinkle
accompanied producers and a reporter from ABC Primetime to file a segment on the
disappearance of Song.
Baron said she felt a connection between Selenski
and Song before the meeting.
"It was my first time knowing, regarding
Selenski to Song," Baron said.
Baron said Selenski and Michael Jason
Kerkowski, a Tunkhannock area pharmacist convicted in February 2002 of selling
controlled substances without prescriptions and insurance fraud, had gone to
State College to meet with a male college student.
"They were doing a
deal," Baron said. "They saw an opportunity. It was a crime of
opportunity."
Baron said the male student had feelings for Song, but she
resisted his advances. When they were doing their "deal," the male student saw
Song and suggested to Selenski and Kerkowski that they abduct her, Baron
said.
Baron said it was fairly bright the night Song disappeared. Det.
Sprinkle later learned there was a full moon that night, he said.
"He
visited her (Web) site," Baron said. "He may still be in the area (State
College)."
Det. Sprinkle said Baron led ABC officials to an area near
Interstate-80 and state Routes 11 and 15, between Williamsport and
Wilkes-Barre.
"We were driving and kept coming back to that spot," Baron
said.
Baron said the area was off a major roadway near a convenience
store that has gas service and a railroad bridge over a stream that flows into
the Susquehanna River.
"They may have gotten gas and cigarettes at that
convenience store," Baron said. "They saw a dark area a little off the
roadway.
"I see two of them dumping the body - not buried, but in water.
They were trying to go back to State College. They didn't want to bury her near
his home because he felt there were too many eyes on him."
Det. Sprinkle
said he never disputed Baron's suggestions and she continues to be a valuable
resource in the ongoing probe.
"Forensic psychics are another criminal
tool," Det. Sprinkle said. "It has a place out there in the world for
it."
The Selenski case
Weakley has been at the center of five homicide
investigations since he led Luzerne County detectives and state police to 479
Mount Olivet Road, Kingston Township, on June 5, 2003.
Authorities
discovered the bodies of Kerkowski, Tammy Lynn Fassett and three others on the
property surrounding Selenski's home.
Weakley is in federal custody at
the Pike County Jail. Ferguson Township police still has not interviewed him,
Det. Sprinkle said.
According to court records, Weakley claimed Selenski
indicated to him in April 2002 that Selenski felt he was under surveillance by
the FBI.
Selenski allegedly told Weakley that he and Kerkowski had
traveled to State College and kidnapped Song. Weakley said Selenski indicated
that Song was kept in Kerkowski's gun safe inside his Hunlock Township home
until she died, police said.
An investigative tool
Renata Balleza, of
Houston, Texas, said she first learned about Baron while watching her on an
episode of Psychic Detectives on Court TV that also featured the disappearance
of Song.
Balleza contacted Baron a few days after that episode in early
April regarding the death of her son, Timothy Stone, 17, in Chidester, Ouachita
County, Ark., on Sept. 23, 2003.
Balleza said her son had been threatened
by two men just days before his vehicle crashed on Highway 57 in
Chidester.
"After the accident, I felt very uncomfortable. A lot of
little things didn't add up," Balleza said. "She (Baron) actually visualized
details about my son's murder that were not released to the public. She told me
it was staged and to call police."
Balleza called the coroner that
investigated her son's death and relayed Baron's information.
"The
coroner told me that he was bothered by the scene,'' she said. "... my son's
injuries were not consistent with a vehicle roll over.
"Right away I'm
thinking a cover up."
Balleza said with the help of Baron, Arkansas State
Police re-opened the investigation.
"She (Baron) was successful in the
investigation and two suspects have been named," Balleza said. "Three witnesses
gave police statements about my son's murder."
