But back to reality. In actuality Noreen Renier of the TV series Psychic Detectives has been shown as an actress portraying 'Nancy Drew' like mystery fantasies while repeatedly claiming paranormal visions that don't pan out as real. Noreen Renier is a Facebook and TV exaggerator who has for over 30 years charged up to $1000 for a few minutes of "fantasized hocus pocus" and "monstrous lies" across many emotionally strained families.

In March 2011 self-claimed "super sleuth" psychic Noreen Jean Renier was found by a federal judge as not credible while under oath in his courtroom. The judge even noted in an 18-page judgment solely against Noreen Renier that she had misled his court while standing before him while under oath. Her effort to appeal that court decision were dismissed by higher courts in both July 2011 and in April 2012.

Both appeals courts entirely rejected her lengthy appeal filings (42 and 69 pages) and instead issued orders actually backing up the earlier federal court as having issued the correct decision!

Psychic Noreen Renier is apparently livid at the most recent rejection which came on April 18, 2012 in a judgment against her by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit --- just one step below the U.S. Supreme Court.

One observer notes that her legal appeals have "wandered so far off-course they aren't in the weeds but off the planet. They are Facebook meets Judge Judy while tweeting about the causes for her dilemma to clouds in Jupiter."

Indeed her string of federal court losses the past decade haven't been caused by technicalities. They've been losses after well researched findings and made by very competent judges. And according to another observer her latest 'everybody is wrong but me' strategy simply shows the arrogance of her mindset and the reasons for her losses before four federal courts in just 6 years.

Apparently psychic actress Noreen Renier simply won't accept that her own stance and credibility have been shattered, and now in the eyes of of multiple federal courts will not be over turned. Appropriately her epitaph will likely include that she was found in a federal courtroom to have lacked credibility and her life's work as a paranormal psychic detective was as an actress fulfilling often exaggerated or fantasized delusions.

Noreen Renier's various psychic detective TV show appearances have been labeled as "actors and actresses and low-level traffic cops portraying themselves as capable forensic detectives" before TV viewers. Critics have charged that the TV scripts and portrayals are "a sham" designed to entertain viewers, gain ratings, and get commercial sponsors. Apparently the producers make actors and actresses and scenes look credible and exciting. They don't spend any time or funds to recreate actual events as they happened --- often scripting events that actually never happened.

One TV series producer said "We show a bunch of police cars and sirens and add a few long retired police and younger traffic cops looking amazed. So what? If the public thinks its real and its entertaining that's all that counts."

Yet actual eye-witnesses of events where Noreen Renier wasn't even present have described her paranormal claims as "outrageous lies", "monstrous lies", "bogus", "deceptive", "made for the TV cameras", "misleading", "fabricated" and "deceptive."

Psychic Detectives TV actress and entertainer Noreen Renier of Wilmington North Carolina clearly according to witnesses fakes events and repeats bogus claims that eye-witnesses have already publicly stated are only media rants and "ego-seeking" efforts to gain attention. And she continues with the same bogus claims for years after being told she is lying.

Prompted by two skeptical writers in 2008 to join them in creating a "come clean" book about her fantasized claims Noreen Renier instead lashed out at that possibly. Rejecting such a way to change her life's epitaph she claimed her principal skeptics were "Maybe de bunkers who are cowards."

Recently she told a reporter that her critics are "out to destroy me" and "destroying my life's work." But clearly she also rejects the findings of entirely unbiased federal courts and numerous eye-witnesses who have called her a liar.

Noreen Jean Renier may also be highly delusional and incapable of separating reality from her own fantasized visions and her sketchy Wonder Woman and Nancy Drew type detective claims.

In 1986 an Ashland Daily Tidings reporter (Ashland, Oregon) testified that Renier told him of "manipulating human energy fields."

Moving towards new mentalist capabilities by the 1990's Renier claimed to have manipulated "animal psi waves" to solve a mysterious death of a horse near Greenwood Virginia.   Yet one one-line writer noted in 2006 that the mysterious death of the horse as outlined by Renier in her book and during one public lecture was a very creative fantasy. "It's bogus from the horse's head to its tail. The current credibility gauge for author, psychic, and actress Noreen Renier more closely matches to what a horse expels out its rear end."

Additionally to claiming to communicate with friendly and unfriendly ghosts and off-shoot spirits of the dead, medium and psychic soothsayer Noreen Renier claims the ability to communicate with non-human informants.

First it's important to know that Noreen Renier claims that after she makes contact with an supernatural, spiritual, multi-dimensional, or non-human informant she often "has no recall" of specifics even seconds later.

She can't she claims offer any clarifications about her visions because as short as "two seconds" after she "comes back" to traditional reality she can't recall what she said before or what her contacts said.

This lack of memory two seconds after her paranormal session ends equates to what small children use when caught in a lie.

It's the "I can't remember" line. But its one used by Renier to seemingly cover her tracks with skeptics and investigators questioning her credibility and memory recall.

Noreen Renier claims remarkable super-paranormal powers that if they existed would certainly resolve crimes.

In fact Renier wants to organize psychic crime investigative units across the country that would be trained by her and others to develop more acute psychic sensing.

Renier revealed in May 2005 that she had a lengthy conversation where she "chattered long and interestingly" and was able to get one particular informant to reveal previously unknown events, including where a river once flowed and how and where a fight had taken place.

And who was this psychic informant?

Renier claims this vast and informative conversation took place with a tree!

Indeed in her mind the trees are forensic informants!  Did you think about talking to trees as witnesses?  Actress and psychic detective Noreen Renier certainly has.

Noreen Renier describes the results of her talks with a mighty oak in her book A Mind For Murder and writes that at one point "suddenly I was told by the ancient oak, 'We have one fear and that is fire. Would you mind not smoking while touching me?'"

Renier doesn't offer any proof that this particular tree --- or other trees she notes --- actually respond but compounds her claim by insisting that a group of "archaeologists had their tape recorders whirring and were taking fast and furious notes" as she described this tree event.

TV psychic detective and author Noreen Renier seems to claim that her super intuitive communication with trees can also help archaeologists reveal past histories using oak trees as witnesses.

Trees are in her mind credible forensic witnesses that "see" events around them and have memories.  As she lived in a log cabin for years and claims to talk to the dead, did she also communicate with the"dead" logs in her own house? Were the logs in her cabin some of the crime informants where she secured her psychic information?

Does any rational person want a psychic describing to a police artist what a criminal looked like --- particularly a psychic who just moments before talked to an oak tree informant or a log to "sense" who was guilty of a crime? Before paying 74-year old Noreen Renier for a private reading isn't it reasonable to ask if the woman might be wildly delusional or simply exaggerating to gain attention?

Her record as a witness in a federal courtroom has already been deemed not credible, and she has an extensive history of public deceptions.

What might first seem of little consequence in accepting Noreen Renier's "psychic visions" could potentially place an innocent victim behind bars.

It's not a coincidence that the TV psychic shows must now turn to the smallest police agencies who lack budgets for credible forensic labs and have poorly trained professional detectives or paranormal inclined coroners. 

 Are they the easiest for psychics to impress or to fool?

Would spruce trees or willows be better informants?

Did police investigators who previously sought Noreen Renier's help on rapes and murders know beforehand about her talks with trees as witnesses? In 2011 a federal judge noted that Noreen Renier was not a credible witness. Indeed he noted she "misled the court."

Have you begun to gag at the sheer audacity and nerve of Noreen Renier claiming to be a "provider of clues" and providing "100% accurate" evidence to police?

Do you really think her word should be used in rapes and murder investigations or for finding missing persons?

Tree informants would certainly be enough for most skilled and rational law enforcement agencies to decide against using America's forensic psychics. So just how pathetic are the "hundreds" of law enforcement agencies that Renier claims book and pay her directly for services?

It is likely that such agencies must be the "bottom of the barrel" in their ability to investigate before turning to a woman who seeks out trees as witnesses.

Indeed it would seem that police agencies desperate enough to call Noreen Renier --- many small agencies often lacking forensic labs and properly trained investigators ---- have been equally naive in examining and verifying her credibility as a psychic. Her actual paranormal track record --- beyond her often wild exaggerations --- is not good. In testing her own track record was worse than chance!

But small township police staff and rural sheriff offices may often discover --- too late --- that talking to trees isn't the only problem in conferring with psychics.  Fortunately the number of law enforcement agencies using psychic Noreen Renier likely has now reached zero.  For those with modern forensic capabilities plus a collective history documenting paranormal investigative credibility Noreen Renier might be the last person they would seek for investigative information. And then reluctantly based on her credibility.

Even so California intuitive Pam Coronado posts on her web site [as of April 9, 2010] that "Noreen lends credibility to this field." It seems Pam Coronado herself lacks perception and foresight given the evidence. Or doesn't like to admit the paranormal field is simply on-going self delusions and bogus charades. Credibility? Right.

Renier has long stated she charges for her work ---even to police working on rape and murder cases--- and her fees have climbed from $45 for a 45-minute phone conversation to far more as her TV fame has spread.   Renier told the Lynchburg News & Advance in 2005 that "I've got more work than I can handle."   Indeed she bumped her fees to $250, then $450, then $600, and then to $1000.

"I actually raised the price to discourage people" stated Renier previously.

How long might you get with Renier on the telephone discussing a unsolved crime or missing person?

As posted in December 2007 on Renier's own blog, she stated "I'm older now, so I can't last more than an hour per session."

Perhaps that's because people are discovering that paying Renier to communicate with the dead and trees only provides delusional visions. Judge William Anderson who found Noreen Renier not credible as a witness didn't even know about her claim to have used trees for her informants. What would he have thought about that?
