Per the Chicago Tribune, Alexander circled an area on a map and told investigators to search there. Furthermore, UPI reports that she gave them 22 clues about Cousett’s body that cited its “condition” and how it would be discovered. This included that her foot and head would be detached. Alexander also stated that whoever would find her would have a “bad hand” and that the initial “S” would be important.
On October 29, 1983, Mary Cousett’s body was discovered near Peoria, Illinois (via TruthUncovered.TV). Interestingly, policeman Steve Trew, who had a deformed hand, found her. Cousett, a mother of two, had been stabbed to death. Her foot was missing and her skull was found a few feet away from the rest of her remains. In other words, most of Alexander’s predictions had come true, and police heavily credited the psychic for finding Cousett.
One detective said that he was now a believer. Alexander herself said Cousett was waiting to be found. However, not everyone was convinced of her abilities. One skeptic later wrote that many reports had failed to mention the predictions that had not come true. Moreover, Cousett’s body had been found far off from the area Alexander had initially circled. Despite her critics, she would continue her work with the police and the community until her death in 1998 at the age of 66 (per AP News).
