WILLIAMS: Imagine your daughter is gone for 17 years, then you get a call from someone who says she thinks she's your missing daughter. Take a look at this.

(Excerpt from videotape)

DOROTHY: My daughter, Shannon, was six years old when she disappeared. One minute, she was playing outside with her friends, and the next minute, she was just gone. We've been searching for her for 17 years.

Three months ago, I got a phone call from a woman claiming that she was my daughter. We talked for three days. She knew details about Shannon and her disappearance. It turned out to be a hoax, and she was arrested. It was like losing her again for the second time. And I was very heartbroken.

(End of excerpt)

WILLIAMS: Please welcome Shannon's mom, Dorothy, to the show.

I'm--I'm s--I hope that they arrested this person, they prosecuted this person.

DOROTHY: Yeah, she's in jail, and they're supposed to have a trial in March.

WILLIAMS: OK.

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, but see, what...

WILLIAMS: We shouldn't say much about that. That would be her.

Ms. BROWNE: What b--right.

DOROTHY: Is it like a family member or--do you know if we'll ever see her? She--she may...

Ms. BROWNE: Well, she's still alive, but...

DOROTHY: So you think my dau--my daughter is still alive?

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah.

DOROTHY: We'll find her here soon?

Ms. BROWNE: Yes.

WILLIAMS: Does she know--does--does her daughter sh--know that she's not the child of another person? You know what I mean?

Ms. BROWNE: No, she doesn't.

WILLIAMS: So she's been brainwashed and raised in a different family.

Ms. BROWNE: A different family.

DOROTHY: Do you know how long it may take? I mean, is it gonna be, like, within the trial thing, or...

Ms. BROWNE: I'd say--I'd say when all this stuff breaks through, I think this woman's gonna break down, because I think this woman knows even more than she says she does.

DOROTHY: Yeah, 'cause...

Ms. BROWNE: So when this goes to trial, you know, and they start questioning her, that's when it's gonna break open.

DOROTHY: So you think she really is...

Ms. BROWNE: Yes.

WILLIAMS: She would be 23 years old.

Ms. BROWNE: Twenty-three, yeah.

DOROTHY: Right.

WILLIAMS: So that means she would have lived her entire life thinking that she was--with a--with a false identity.

Ms. BROWNE: Somebody else--right. Right.

WILLIAMS: A completely false identity.

Ms. BROWNE: Right.

DOROTHY: Right.

WILLIAMS: Yeah. Go ahead. You had one more question for Sylvia.

DOROTHY: I was just wond--you say it's a family member. Is it somebody close? Do you have a name or--and we don't--we wouldn't know who these people are at all?

WILLIAMS: OK, hold on a minute. Let me get another question.

Stand up, sir. You had a question for Sylvia? Go ahead.

Unidentified Man #3: Yeah, hi, Sylvia. I saw you in February here. You told me I would be successful in the music industry. I don't know if you remember. Will I be successful enough to move with my girlfriend and her kids to...

Psychic says Shannon Sherrill is still alive 11/20

http://www.reporter.net/cgi-bin/LiveIQue.acgi$rec=16874?lr_story
By KEVIN THOMPKINS

Night Editor

Shannon Sherrill is still alive. She's been brainwashed into thinking she is someone else's daughter, and a woman now in custody may have more information than she's revealed.

That was the assessment a nationally-known psychic gave Dorothy Sherrill Wednesday on The Montel Williams Show.

Sylvia Browne told Dorothy Sherrill, Shannon doesn't know she's not the daughter of another family.

However Browne did not reveal a name -- of someone who may be involved in Shannon Sherrill's disappearance -- on the show, although Dorothy Sherrill said Browne gave her names to check out during the taping.

"They cut it all out," Dorothy Sherrill said from her home after the show aired. "I guess they didn't want to release the name."
...

Shannon Sherrill disappeared from her Thorntown home in 1986. She would be 23 years old today.
...
"I wasn't shocked. I still feel she knows something. I still feel there are a lot of connections there," Dorothy Sherrill said.

So Browne told the parents of this missing girl their daughter would be found "soon," and their daughter was "brain washed".

1) Well, no news searches come up to confirm that the girl has been found, and its been nearly four years. Maybe Browne's perception that "soon" is longer than four years.
2) There was no trial where the information "broke open."
3) No proof this girl is alive much less brain washed.
4) Yet, the distrubing thing is that Montel was feeding the information claiming their daughter was brainwashed.

See the story of the false identity: http://www.cnn.com/2003/LAW/07/31/missing.girl/

As of June 2006 the search continues/contact information: http://www.kokomotribune.com/local/local_story_164224655.html

It is. And I still cannot believe that Sylvia doesn't care. Again she gives false hope to desperate people and thinks nothing of it when those hopes are destroyed yet again.
This makes me glad that now these victims, in a way, are coming back to haunt her.

Was that cult by chance headquartered in Campbell CA, on Winchester Blvd?

BELMONT -- The television psychic made famous for her predictions on the "Montel" show predicts that local missing teacher Nancy MacDuckston is alive.

Sylvia Browne told Bruce MacDuckston that his wife, missing since August, is still alive and has joined a cult with the words "Enlightened Way" in the name during a Nov. 19 show on missing persons.

Maybe we should start lobbying our legislators to make Psychics on TV illegal, given the mounting amount of evidence showing that they are deceptive, and the amount of harm they create.
 
If anyone's interested, here's the transcript of what she told Tabitha's parents. Three guesses as to the abuctor's race and the first two don't count.

WILLIAMS: You know, on April 29th of 2003, 13-year-old Tabitha vanished without a trace. I want you to take a look at this.

(Excerpts from video)

WILLIAMS: On April 29th, 2003, 13-year-old Tabitha Trudors vanished without a trace while walking to her school bus stop. Tabitha never made it to the bus and hasn't been seen since. Authorities suspect foul play. Despite an extensive search, police have no leads. The investigation continues today, and Tabitha's parents are desperate for answers.

(End of excerpts)

WILLIAMS: Please welcome Tabitha's parents, Debra and Bo, to the show.

Debra, what happened that day?

DEBRA: On April the 29th, Tabitha was woken up by her daddy at 7:00, and she left to go to school at 7:50. And she never made it to school that morning. And we were just wanting to know, you know, if you could tell us if she's been--who picked her up and everything.

WILLIAMS: Before you--but before you go any further--that much further, before Sylvia jumps in...

DEBRA: Mm-hmm.

WILLIAMS: ...let's talk a little bit more about this. You didn't even know that she didn't make it to school until midday, did you not?

DEBRA: I didn't know she didn't make it to school until 4:30. She gets home at 4:00 every day, and she then she didn't arrive at home. So I...

WILLIAMS: And--and--and she was 13 at the time?

DEBRA: Thirteen.

WILLIAMS: She--then I--and this is...

DEBRA: She turned 13 in February.

WILLIAMS: This is one of those of times I'll take a moment on the show to say, to me, it's an abomination if a child doesn't go to school and the school doesn't contact...

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, if they don't call.

DEBRA: Right.

WILLIAMS: You know, somehow, I don't get this. And I don't what our taxpayer dollars work for. Did anybody see her? Are there any witnesses? Witness accounts have seen her...

DEBRA: They saw her walking to the bus stop.

WILLIAMS: So they saw her get to the bus stop or walking towards the bus stop?

DEBRA: Right. They saw her at the bus stop--at one bus stop, where she normally catches it every day. But I've always told her to not sit there by herself, to go to the next stop where the other children are.

WILLIAMS: So someone saw her at the first bus stop...

DEBRA: Right.

WILLIAMS: ...where you told her not to stay. No one saw her at the second bus stop.

DEBRA: They saw her crossing the street to go down the hill to the second bus stop, but she never made it at the bottom of the hill.

WILLIAMS: That's important.

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah. A 19-year-old Hispanic male by the name of--well, I guess it's John or in--it would be Juan--and it seems like the last name is...

DEBRA: Do you know what kind of car they're in?

Ms. BROWNE: I'm sorry?

DEBRA: Do you know what color car that they're in?

Ms. BROWNE: I--green. It was green.

DEBRA: Can you see the plate number?

Ms. BROWNE: There's an F and a two and a four in it.

DEBRA: Is she still living?

Ms. BROWNE: No.

DEBRA: Can you tell me where she's at?

Ms. BROWNE: I don't think she's that far from where you are.

DEBRA: Mm-hmm.

Ms. BROWNE: And I don't know--do you have a field near you?

DEBRA: Do we?

WILLIAMS: Field, open pasture area, farm area, farmland?

Ms. BROWNE: Field, open pasture area.

WILLIAMS: It's all individual houses for miles and miles and miles?

DEBRA: It's all individual houses. Yeah.

BO: Well, there's--there's a field probably a half a mile, three-quarter of a mile from our house. Wooded area.

Ms. BROWNE: Well, that's what I'm talking about.

DEBRA: When--when did he take her life?

Ms. BROWNE: Right away. See, now, here we go again. Just like this lovely lady here. I think this guy is still around.

DEBRA: But why? I mean...

Ms. BROWNE: Why anything anymore, with this day and age? Why--why do people go into houses and steal kids out of there?

DEBRA: Did he...

WILLIAMS: Will they find--will they find her?

Ms. BROWNE: Yeah, I still would like them to, inch by inch, go through that...

DEBRA: How did he take her? I mean, did he just strangle her or...

Ms. BROWNE: No, I think she knew him or she had seen him. I don't think this was a stranger to her. Will you ask around the school and see if this 19-year-old by the name of--of Juan was doing any kind of handy work around there?

DEBRA: OK.

WILLIAMS: I got to take a little break. We'll be back right after this.
