The Sensing Murder Star Solves a Mystery.
Ronnie Tapsell-Walters’ koro had been missing for five days when she spoke on the phone to a medium who said he thought he could help.
The Bay of Plenty woman didn’t catch the name of the man who’d been contacted by a family member, and says she wasn’t really into “all that stuff”.
“A few psychics had contacted me during the week and had sent me on wild-goose chases, and I didn’t really want to talk to anyone,” says Ronnie, whose grandfather John Mohi (77) had disappeared after going for a walk in his hometown of Maketu.
“But I felt like I was running out of options and I was at the stage where I would take anything I could get.”
Just one minute into the conversation, she became convinced the guy might be able to help when he gave her personal information about John that he couldn’t possibly have known. And when he described a local area where he thought John was, Ronnie – who had realised by then that they were looking for a body – felt sure he was onto something.
“Everything he said made sense and I just knew my grandfather would be found. But I didn’t know until I got off the phone that I had been talking to Kelvin Cruickshank from Sensing Murder.”
A family member had contacted TV medium Kelvin after extensive searches failed to turn up any sign of John, a devoted family man who had dementia. Using Kelvin’s description of where he thought John was, along with a map the medium had marked up, Ronnie immediately went to the search and rescue team, asking them to check the area.
