Noreen Renier

Noreen Renier is an American author of A Mind for Murder and a well publicized psychic actress. She has made eleven appearances on the Psychic Detectives entertainment series created by Story House Productions which she was paid thousands over an initial $20,000 level.

On July 22, 2011 U.S. District Court judge Norman K. Moon issued a court memorandum rejecting a federal appeal by Renier and affirming a March 2011 bankruptcy court decision against Renier. That earlier court ruling by the Honorable William Anderson found Renier had 'misled his court and was not a credible court witness. Judge Anderson's court order against Renier now continues to stand with both her federal appeal and a late July 2011 attempt for a new oral hearing rejected.^[1]

These recent federal court losses by Noreen Renier follow additional Washington federal court decisions which she lost in 2006 and 2007. In the 2007 federal judgment against Renier she was ordered to pay a critic who stated Renier provides "deceptive paranormal claims" more than $41,000 with accrued interest. Shortly after however Noreen Renier declared her second bankruptcy within 9 years, though her critic ultimately received a signficant share of the debt owed him.^{[2] [3]}

Although Renier makes claims on her official site about using psychic abilities to help the FBI and other law enforcement agencies solve cases,^[4] no psychic detective has ever been given official recognition by the FBI, police department or US national news for solving a crime, preventing a crime, or finding a kidnap victim or corpse.^[5][6][7][8]Extensive subpeona information across Renier's financial accounts provided no support to her claims that she has been hired by hundreds of law enforcement agencies, and multiple witnesses have publicly stated she was deceptive and lied in what has been called the "greatest bogus psychic charade of the century".^[9]
