The pilot program of Psychic Detectives produced for cable network
Court TV last march was so well received, another thirteen episodes
are being filmed. Local psychic Georgia Rudolph is being featured
in the first episode for her assistance in solving the 1997 murder
of Jennifer McCrady in Belpre, OH.
Lisa Jackson, co-producer and director for Super Fine Films, the
New York based independent production company producing the show,
says they chose the McCrady case because it was recent and well documented.
Georgia Rudolph’s personal story was featured on television’s
Unsolved Mysteries in 1991. Her journey of self-discovery is
the subject of a recently completed book, Yesterday Lives Forever. Georgia
moved to Parkersburg to research and finish writing the book, which
chronicles her early efforts to come to terms with her psychic ability
and the evidence of a previous life in Marietta.
Georgia’s psychic abilities have helped solve crimes across
the country and her work with police on the McCrady case brought national
attention. “I was in Pittsburgh when they called about
a missing woman in a case that had no clues. I told them she
had been killed, shot in the head by a man called Jack who was a cop. I
didn’t know where she was, but I told them how to get there.”
Jack McCrady, a state highway patrolman, was convicted, his wife’s
body found where Georgia said it would be. During her conversation
with the investigating officer, Georgia had asked, “What is
pink? I see pink all around her.” The young woman was found
wearing pink pajamas.
Lisa says they will be presenting an interview with Jennifer’s
parents, the first public interview for the couple. Filming will
begin during the second week of October and the show will air in early
winter, 2004. The crew will remain in the area for about
a week and may employ some local talent to participate in the filming.
