Psychic On Target In Discovery
Skepticism will always exist. It takes more courage to believe. Lloyd Israel reported his son, Trevor Israel, missing on Aug. 12, 2003.

(PRWEB) March 20 2004--Skepticism will always exist. It takes more courage to
believe.
Lloyd Israel reported his son, Trevor Israel, missing on Aug.
12, 2003. Until March 10, he held onto the hope that he would see him
again.
That hope was fueled by a father’s love for his child — and by
five psychics who offered the idea that Trevor was alive and well and working
someplace down south.
Only one woman told him what he already knew in his
heart to be true: Trevor had committed suicide.
Around the time of
Trevor’s disappearance, search teams looked in fields and wooded areas near the
pull-off in a cornfield located on County Road 600 West, south of Boggstown
Road, where his abandoned blue 1992 Saturn was found.
Even with the help
of special search dogs from the State Emergency Management Association, they
didn’t find anything. The search was called off due to lack of information and
impending bad weather.
In early September, Lloyd Israel called renowned
psychic Carla Baron in Los Angeles for help. Baron has been asked to assist in
providing closure in many unfortunate events, ranging from missing persons to
arson.
“It’s not something that you ask to do; it’s just something I’m
able to do,” she said. “It’s not like you choose to do this.”
Baron, a
former concert pianist and opera singer, is no crystal-ball gazer.
She
claims to be clairaudient, meaning she can perceive sounds or words from sources
broadcasting from a spiritual or ethereal realm.
During a taped telephone
reading dated Sept. 7, she can be heard talking to someone she says is Trevor
Israel.
He walked her through the events as they had taken place, she
said — from his overwhelming feelings of anxiety, inadequacy and hopelessness,
to driving to the field near Boggstown and rushing into the corn, the leaves
scratching his sleeves as he ran past.
“Trevor felt overwhelmed with
failure, with life. He was consumed by a feeling of inadequacy. He had no real
relationships, no friends, to fall back on,” she said.
He chose the
serene cornfield near Boggstown as a place where he could end his life in peace
and solitude.
“It’s a private thing when you commit suicide. It’s between
you and God. For the most part, it’s a very private experience,” Baron
said.
Trevor took the handgun — a .357 Magnum — in his right hand,
pointed it at his head and ended his life at age 25.
Yet, it was very
difficult for Trevor to admit there was a suicide, Baron said.
“Souls of
those who have taken their own lives have a difficult recovery period. Suicides
have a hard time accepting what they’ve done to themselves. The recovery is a
very long time in coming,” she added.
Baron depicted the details of the
area where the body would later be found — up a slight incline in a cornfield,
with a wire fence and a telephone pole nearby.
During the reading, she
talks to Trevor about the search dogs — “and he’s wondering why you missed him,”
she tells Lloyd.
“He says, ‘My dad will find me’,” she adds.
Lloyd
told investigators what Baron had said, and urged them to look again. They
didn’t find Trevor during that search, either.
“At the time, I was kind
of glad they didn’t find him,” he said.
He consulted five other psychics.
They all separately told him the same thing: that Trevor had gone off with
someone, was working down south, and was doing fine. They said he would contact
his father around Christmastime.
So Israel sat by the phone, and
heartbreakingly checked and rechecked the mail, but he never heard
anything.
“I wanted to believe what the others were saying,” Israel said.
“I was hoping that he would contact me.”
But when a body is meant to be
found, it will be, Baron said. Investigators resumed their search last week and
found human remains about a half-mile up the road on County Road 600 West —
exactly as Baron had described it for Israel.
It doesn’t always work out
that way.
“This isn’t an exact science. Psychics don’t solve cases. They
assist in providing the unknown, the missing piece of the puzzle,” she said. “I
read what you already know, on another level — you just can’t unlock
it.”
Israel went to the site for the first time on Sunday. A neon-orange
stake marks the spot where the body was found, not far from where Trevor had
parked his car.
Although Israel is unable to make the arrangements until
the body has been identified and released, the Israel family is already planning
a simple cremation and a private ceremony. Israel has purchased the urn; his
son’s ashes will be placed in a vault at Forest Lawn Cemetery.
“She was
the only one who was really accurate,” he said, of Baron. “I’m afraid it is him.
I was hoping he just left, like the other ones said.”
Believing Baron —
that she did, in fact, communicate on some level with Trevor — has taken a great
deal of effort for a former skeptic like Lloyd.
“You will always have
skeptics,” Baron said. “But it’s much harder to believe. It takes a lot more
courage to believe.”
It has been even more difficult for Israel to come
to terms with this fact: Believing in Baron’s abilities means the end of hope
for his son.
“I just take it one day at a time. As time goes by, it might
get easier,” he said.
