Paula Brown's Case Study

Decent Essays
Paula Brown was a hairdresser who vanished in Sydney, Australia, after a night out with her friends. After her disappearance, Brown’s fiancé enlisted the help of psychic Philippe Durant to help find her. The psychic used a map, a plumb bob, and a piece of the victim’s hair in order to find the body. Eventually, the body was discovered by a truck driver less than two kilometers away from the area where the psychic had predicted it would be. Even though the body was found by chance, the police on Brown’s case still acknowledged the uncanny accuracy of the body’s location that was given by Durant.

    One of the most controversial homicide cases in US history was the case of Andrea Yates, who systematically drowned her five children in her home bathtub on June 20, 2001. Andrea’s trial was very long and difficult because it was hard to establish what the reasons were behind her killing her own children; to me a variety of different factors influenced Andrea and led her to commit this horrible act, there wasn’t just one reason. According to research Andrea had been bulimic and depressive as a teenager, despite her perfectionist traits and good performance as a student and daughter, Andrea had once spoke about suicide to a friend, which to me is an evident warning of a severe mental disorder, however; Andrea had seemed to overcome her disorders and signs of depression and took on a regular life and college career. While in college Andrea met who would later become her husband, Rusty Yates, who had been a devoted and serious Christian for a couple of years by this time.…
