Almost 50 years after the disappearance of man, the case has finally been closed, and it turns out a psychic knew the location of the body all along. Suspicious, lucky guess, or a true psychic ability, you be the judge.
The young man, known as Douglas Brick, was not only cursed with one of the worst names in the history of the US, but also to be a missing person for over 50 years. While studying at the University of Utah, he vanished without a trace.
No sign was found of Brick. His family, friends, and local police searched for him, but nothing of the man turned up. The case was taken over in 2022 by Major Heather Sturzenegger and Det. John Dial. Going through the evidence, nothing of note could be gleaned.
There were contradictory witnesses and a whole lot of speculation. Some thought he may have become a hitchhiker, and others presumed he had fled the country. However, one particular statement did hold a strange psychic connection to the body.
Weathered fragments from Brick’s skull were found in the foothills of the Black Mountains above his university. They matched a surviving family member with 99.9% accuracy. With modern science, the case was closed. But, it was a psychic in a store that had solved it almost 35 years before.
Suspicious Psychic Said Suicide
Brick’s mother, before her death, had kept detailed journals. She would have loved TikTok. In these journals, she mentioned meeting a store clerk in Salt Lake City who claimed to be able to converse with spirits beyond our realm.
Brick’s mother asked the psychic if she knew the location of her son, and she gave a stunning piece of evidence. “He really wants you to find him,” she began. She then revealed that nobody could have known where he was going.
According to the medium, Brick was in a pit of depression. Her son had taken himself to the foothills of the mountains, contemplating suicide. However, the psychic went on, her son had decided against it. But, due to the dark, the uneven terrain, and a missed step, he had fallen and died, alone and lost.
Amazingly, Dial, the detective of this decades-old case, noted how accurate the psychic was about the son’s location. “Where the skull was located, the terrain I was traversing as part of the search was extremely steep and loose on both sides, and I was having a hard time in the daylight keeping my footing under me and figuring out where I was going.”
Investigators haven’t ruled out Brick’s death as a suicide. I think they need to find this ‘Psychic’ store clerk and see how many other ‘suicides’ she happens to know about. I think she’s probably surprisingly clued up on a number of missing people, if you get my drift.
