Psychics Shed a Little Light on a 25 Year-Old Cold Case
Bobbie Joe Oberholtzer and Annette Schnee disappeared on January 6, 1982 from the Breckenridge area as they hitchhiked separately. Bobbie Jo was found the next day, shot to death. Annette was found six months later, also shot and possibly raped. The two cases were linked by an orange bootie, but the killer was never caught.
In May of 2006, Discovery Channel filmed a segment about this case for their “Sensing Murder” program, a show which uses the aid of psychics to help solve cold cases for law enforcement. They sent two psychics, Laurie Campbell and Pam Coronado, to the murder scenes with no information about the cases or about each other.
Both psychics felt that Annette Schnee didn’t die where she was found. Coronado led the investigators to an area three miles away, where she felt the shooting occurred. However, the investigators found no evidence to back up her claim.
Then Coronado went into great detail about how Bobbie Jo was found and what she felt transpired during the last moments of the woman’s life. One detail in particular stood out with homicide investigator Charlie McCormick (ret.) because it hadn’t been publicized.
Both psychics came up with the same name for a possible suspect, which also wasn’t publicized. By the time the show ended, authorities had a fresh list of leads to follow up on. In the meantime, the families of the slain women are hopeful that this newfound information will help bring their killer to justice.
