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.

Lately, the JonBenet Ramsey case has been getting more coverage than the Middle East Crisis, now that they have found a possible suspect. The composite sketch below was drawn up nearly a decade ago, based on a vision by psychic, Dorothy Allison, who was met with considerable skepticism on the Leeza Gibbon’s Show at the time.

Although she convinced many reporters and even police that she had a criminological sixth sense, skeptics observed that the Nutley, New Jersey, great-grandmother propelled herself into prominence by a tried-and-true formula: arrive on the scene of high-profile cases, make numerous vague pronouncements and, after the true facts become known, interpret the statements accordingly–a technique known as “retrofitting.”

Despite earlier skepticism, law enforcement has decided to take a closer look at Dorothy’s sketch. Perhaps this sketch will help solve a murder mystery that is long overdue for closure.
