Sensing Murder is a unique concept in which highly gifted psychics join forces with a team of private investigators to hunt for new leads in the countries most chilling unsolved murder cases - with startling results. Each case puts two psychics to the test to see what they can uncover with a team of private investigators analysing their findings.

The program recreates the victims’ last known living moments in a dramatic and stylised production. The reconstruction is based on forensic information, extensive research with case experts and family, along with interviews from police who were involved in the investigation. With no prior knowledge about the crime, the psychics reveal astounding new information about the victim, case and perpetrator – groundbreaking information that has the potential to break these cases wide open.

Presented by acclaimed Australian actress Rebecca Gibney, Sensing Murder is a 90 minute true crime documentary drama television series.

A NOTE FROM SCOTT:

While Sensing Murder has proved to be a very popular show, of course there are the skeptical detractors, and there always will be when it comes to psychic or spiritual phenomena. That's the way of the world. 

The skeptics continue to argue that a psychic has never solved a crime. And you know what. I'm actually going to agree with them. The skeptics are right! That statement is actually true!

BUT!!

Here's why it's true.

ONLY the police have the power or authority to solve a crime. Even when the police have ALL the facts, they still have to build a case, take their evidence to court, and prove it.

Psychics can't solve a case. Nor can a skeptic, or any other member of the public no matter what information they come forward with, even if its the missing key / link / clue to a case. ONLY the police have the authority and power to present a case in a judicial process so that it can be solved or someone prosecuted.

Scott worked on the following episodes:

Almost Perfect
This episode deals with the case of Elmer Crawford. He appeared to be an average family man, but then in 1970, he murdered his pregnant wife and three children, with no apparent motive. He loaded their bodies into the back of his car and carefully manoeuvred it over a cliff edge to into the sea below. The car was sent over the cliff it hit a small ledge and hung on above the crashing waves. It endured the stormy night hanging on the cliff edge with only a few centimetres of limestone stopping it from falling into the sea, where it would never have been discovered. A Coronial inquest was held in 1971, which found Elmer responsible for the deaths of his family. 
Despite numerous reported sightings over the decades since, Elmer Crawford has never been caught.
