SYDNEY (AP) An Aboriginal elder, who claimed to have seen missing 6-year-old Kiesha Abrahams in a dream, led police to a corpse - but one belonging to a different missing person.

Cheryl Carroll-Lagerwey claims she saw little Kiesha in a dream and had a "gut feeling" that she would find the body of the young girl who was reported missing from her home about 16 days ago. Wednesday night, she and a friend went to a nature preserve just west of Sydney where she believed she would find Kiesha, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

But instead of Kiesha's body, she reportedly uncovered a headless, limbless body wrapped in plastic along a creek in the preserve that police believe might be that of Kristi McDougall, a 31-year-old mother from Sydney who has been missing since June, the paper reported.

Police said Thursday that they had notified McDougall's family but stressed that they could not formally identify the body until a full autopsy had been conducted.

New South Wales state Detective Chief Inspector Pamela Young said that investigators were still investigating the circumstances that led Carroll-Lagerwey to the body.

"For those who believe in such things, I understand the woman thinks she might have some [psychic] powers," Young said. "There was a thought in her mind, apparently, that her coming here might help that particular case, but it hasn't. It's quite unusual circumstances that has brought us here that she would think that initially and then actually find a body."

The search continues for Kiesha, who was reported missing from her home in Mount Druitt, a few miles west of the nature preserve. Her mother told police she tucked her into bed that night, and woke up in the morning to find her daughter gone and the front door ajar.

Police are said to be looking at the stepfather in connection with Kiesha's disappearance. Police conducted a second raid on the house on August 9 after allegations that the stepfather was seen hitting the 6-year-old in the face in a grocery store parking lot just before she was reported missing, according to Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph.

Maybe the little girl had seen what happened which led to her talking and the corpse being found, because she was taken by the same group of people who wanted to use her for illegal practices that are banned in Australia but well known among the aboriginal people, which meant the psychic's life was in danger. These are capital crimes to kidnap and murder people, but when a child is a witness, the perpetrators can easily mount a defense to discredit or intimidate them, which is more difficult to do with adults.

Most likely there is some reason or connection that the psychic woman saw or felt Keisha in her dream and found the body of another victim of violence. The authorities may or may not, at some point in time, realize what that connection is. Most people understand very little about how the intuitive/psychic/spiritual world goes...even those who are sensitive to it do not always understand what they see/feel. Experience in the sensitive person's conscious life plays a part in what they can feel, I think. Knowing of the search for the little girl and probable violence that took her life could have been what was consciously on the psychics mind, and so what she "felt" or "saw" she related to the missing little girl...possibly with some unknown connection also involved. Just my opinion.; Reply to this comment
