Lisa Irwin Psychic Makes More Comments

December 04, 2011 09:15 PM UTC

Lisa Irwin has attracted the attention of the mainstream media, online writers and a psychic who even admits that she's never successfully solved a case with her visions. Stephanie Almaguer isn't stopping though, and she's made more comments.

Although there aren't any official developments in the search for missing baby Lisa Irwin, Stephanie Almaguer is still making comments about her psychic gifts. She says now that her children have the gift, expressed via pictures they draw. She admits that her children have helped her with the visions she's had about the missing baby's location.

In her recent blog post, she goes on to describe the talent shared by her and her children, but it's becoming evident that the woman possibly doesn't possess any ESP ability. Look, there are skeptics and there are believers, and then there are people who know the difference between a gift and a psychosis. Which kind are you?

Lisa Irwin is priority #1

The little girl was allegedly abducted from her home, but it's becoming increasingly apparent that this may not be the case. Detectives re-enacted the so-called abduction, using evidence found at the scene with the stories told by Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin. In the re-enactment, the findings didn't quite look like someone could squeeze through the window to abduct a baby.

It also doesn't make sense that someone would turn on all of the lights and steal a cell phone on their way out the front door. If the lights were on already, what kind of prowler would enter the window of a home that is lit up like everyone is awake and active inside? None of the details have added up since day-one.

The searches of the old abandoned casino property, described by Almaguer, have been inconclusive. The woman admits that she's never solved a missing persons case, so this case should be added to that list. Sometimes people like this do more harm than good, on many levels. They take away from the credibility of actual ESP phenomena, and they make people who do have unexplainable gifts look seedy even when they're not involved. They also draw attention away from the important factors of cases like these. It's all around not a good situation.

Perhaps biologists can discover the gene behind ESP. Then chemists can discover a drug to give people ESP powers. This drug could be marketed to cops. This way police can start using their minds instead of their guts to solve crimes. :). Hopefully baby Irwin will be found.
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 2:54am UTC
Calling me psycho, calls my kids psycho - therefore that is cyber bullying and a crime. Thank you, I've copied your work and it will be sent to the police. I'm tired of the name calling re: me and my children. We've done nothing to you - personally. Grow up and write a decent column without having to raise your own self esteem by trying to belittle others because you don't understand or have the intelligence yourself. Do not speak my name, or refer to me and my family in your column EVER again. I have asked you nicely, once. You refused. Now I will formally file criminal charges in re: to cyber bullying. I have more supporters than you do readers, which must be why you continue writing about me - to gain popularity. I am not your platform to success. find your own way, please. You have no idea of my ability in psi, or my children either - So quit presuming you rambling thoughts.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 5, 2011, 3:26am UTC
1. You weren't called a psycho

2. Your kids weren't called anything

When someone says something to you, or about you, they're not talking about your kids. There's no logic in your statements.

3. Nothing criminal has been done here. Contacting your local police would be wasting your time, and more importantly it would be wasting their time.

4. An .Edu website could explain cyber bullying to you clearly.

5. You've injected yourself into a high profile crime story that I have covered since day one. If you have a problem with public speculation and media/blogger attention, don't put yourself out there.

You're not making yourself look really good by going off on rants anytime your mentioned. It's keeping you in the spotlight negatively. I don't think you're increasing the popularity of anyone who has mentioned you. However, you've made yourself part of a news story that I've covered since before anyone knew who you were, so I apologize if you feel like everyone is trying to highjack your popularity during this high profile MISSING CHILD case..

remember that right? Your popularity is a non issue. This is a missing child's case.
Renee Shah Dec 5, 2011, 3:40am UTC
Go ahead and file that police complaint Steph. Let us know when and where you plan on doing that though, because I'd hate to miss watching the police laugh you out of the building.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 5, 2011, 3:41am UTC
that's not as funny as *me* riding off of *her* "popularity"......
janice p. Dec 5, 2011, 5:00pm UTC
Apparently you don't understand freedom of speech Stephanie. You made the desision to be a public spectacle. You need to live with your desision. In other words grow up.
Lori F. Dec 11, 2011, 3:14am UTC
Not to nitpick but I didnt realize outside of school children that we had many cyberbullying laws on the books.

Generally to be convicted or charged with a crime you have to establish that a crime has been committed you cant just make the rules up as you go along this isnt Monopoly.
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 4:16am UTC
apparently you have not read all the online statements. I'm not calling out just you....Just want it to stop. I never contacted media. Was told after reejcting interviews that it would help keep Baby Lisa's name out there. I did what I was told was right, and I trust no one now. Asked to work on Michelle Parkers case, and out of fear, rejected for over a week. After the 3rd email plea, agreed to do it, by private email. I created my blog for me to express by gift in a good way, in honor of my (xxx's) XXXX's memory, and now I can't even do that.
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 4:19am UTC
Please already have all the bullying and threats - and their were no laughs at all, in fact, disgust. They will contact the media who allow the threats, to track down the bloggers. They do not take this lightly and in fact, take it very seriously- seeing as though one mom is actually in prison for blogging to another kid a while back how ugly she was and stupid, fat, etc...and the girl actually killed herself. If I know nothing, I know the law.
Renee Shah Dec 5, 2011, 4:41am UTC
You clearly don't know the law from your ass. Chelsea isn't bullying you. It isn't bullying to mention your name or report on a topic. You're just making yourself look like a child with your comments here.
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 4:23am UTC
It's one thing to disagree with someones ability because you don't believe in the unforeseen, or in God - since he too is not a proven fact....but to literally put down a person's character, etc...is another. I had one women say she knew where I lived and would find me! CRAZY. I've never done anything I thought was wrong. I just don't understand.
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 4:44am UTC
I did nothing to make me or try to make me popular. The media did. I only did what I thought was right. - Like I said, Opinions re: psychic ability are one thing, personal, degrading comments about my character and even threats by others, are another. I'm not psycho because I believe, truly, in the ability to connect with or feel the presense of spirits. I'm very intuitive and so are many others. but for those who don't believe in such, start picking your good intentions apart, leaving you to feel ripped into pieces and wonder what the hell has just happened. This has never been about me, but when feeling personally attacked, it doesn't, unfortunately become about me in the need to feel as though I must protect me and mine. I just want it all to stop where I am concerned...and in the future, I will not post on my blog,unless the families ask me to, and ask them to keep what I tell them to themselves, police, and no media, period....otherwise, I will keep all my "given" thoughts to my self, and just hope that it doesn't become a huge regret one day down the line....This isn't a gift, as some call it, but a curse and I wish I could just let it go, but unfortunately, it doesn't work like. No hard feelings personally with you..... I just don't want to be called a liar, fraud, cheat, etc...But God as my witness, I am not and never will be that when it comes to this. (FYI- have a degree of my own in Criminal Psychology, Cert. Police Ofc, and Cert. Fema.....go ahead, goodle it, investigate it, etc....) Everything I do, I do with the up-most integrity. But everyone reaches a breaking point.....My blog is clean- I didn't like being so negative, it just wasn't me. I beat cancer due to my positive outlook....I'm not going to let other's turn my own person Blog into something I can't stand to look at.....It's descent, again - and will remain that way-
thanks
Renee Shah Dec 5, 2011, 4:52am UTC
"Decent," I think you mean, rather than "descent." One means "good, clean, or proper," as in "he was a decent person." The other means "to lower into," as in "it was hilarious to watch Steph's further descent into hysteria."
Steph A Dec 5, 2011, 5:02am UTC
ok- whatever-
sarah kristmann Dec 5, 2011, 8:55am UTC
wow, up until seeing these comments, I was on board to defend Steph. I do believe that some people have psychic abilities. I also believe that any bad press the alleged psychic in this matter may have received has been brought upon herself with these immature and unreasonable outbursts. That being said, I fail to see any "bullying" going on in this particular article. If she feels bullied every time her name is mentioned, actively injecting herself into a media spotlight may not be the wisest choice. and as an attorney, I do actually know the law. Keep up the great work, Chelsea!
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 5, 2011, 8:59am UTC
Thanks, Sarah!
amy h Dec 5, 2011, 10:08am UTC
The sad thing is that I'm (we are) commenting about her because she ruffles our feathers, when that is exactly what she wants! From the rants when someone doesn't believe her, putting her kids in the mix, poor mouthing about her finances, boasting about how many viewers, supporters, followers...news and media appearances, even the complaining about her state of health...its all for attention....attention focused on her! Wasn't that what she wanted with the "Extreme Family" reality show...putting herself and her kids in front of the camera in hopes of the camera would some day be a tv camera.
Now the info comes out that her kids help with her visions/drawings...who put that out there and why put that out...could be for more attention (just sayin)
As far as her psychic abilities, I don't know... Her overpowering focus on herself has tarnished the possibility of the visions being true for me. If she truly felt like she was being attacked and can't handle the skeptics then get off the computer!
My concern is for baby Lisa. I feel like that has been lost in all this new drama that she is creating (yes, she is creating...!)
I'm done now! Thanks Chelsea for the articles. I just signed up to Gather so I could comment and follow your posts.
juli henry Dec 5, 2011, 11:56am UTC
@ Stephanie.......Chelsea does not write about you because of her self esteem. Chelsea writes about you because you are funny as all get-out. Seriously, Stephanie, you are not hosting a ghost tour. This is a missing persons case. Ethics obviously does not mean the same thing to you as it does to the rest of us.
janice p. Dec 5, 2011, 4:28pm UTC
Well Chelsea it's about time you developed a back bone when it comes to that woman. Thank you for standing up for Lisa. As far as what I believe? I believe this woman is a fraud who is out for the fame the glory and the reward. Like she could actually find Lisa. Ask any psychic and they will let you know this is no glory job. It is often very painful draining and all consuming. Not something people enjoy doing. Stephanie you should have quit while you were ahead. Let me point out that for someone who is so certain she knows the truth you have changed your story so many times you now don't even know what your own truth is. Please leave your kids alone. They don't deserve to be put into the spot light and I know they will suffer from the attention you seek. If you love them then you love them even more than you do yourself. Stop bringing harm to them for your own glory.
Lisa Westerfield Dec 5, 2011, 8:20pm UTC
If anything this was an amusing thread to read.
Janna, VP, Ennui Dec 5, 2011, 10:40pm UTC
Indeed. A Psychic Friend of the "up-most integrity" has been besmirched! Criminal charges will be filed!
Lori F. Dec 11, 2011, 3:18am UTC
Years ago I worked at a newspaper and a woman called in to place her add for psychic readings..she was very nice at first then when she was done reciting what she wanted in the ad she asked me how much the ad would cost. I told her that she was the psychic so she should already know..she wasnt amused.
Lori F. Dec 11, 2011, 3:19am UTC
So are the people commenting, the new ones, the people you quote in your articles? How do they find them? How do you know they are who they say they are?

Just curious.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 11, 2011, 3:22am UTC
I verify in different ways.
Lori F. Dec 11, 2011, 3:25am UTC
Interesting. What I find really interesting is the guy who claims you are cyber bullying him and yet he comes here to only comment on your articles...kind of like cyberstalking...just sayin.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 11, 2011, 3:26am UTC
lol people like to define things too loosely
janice p. Dec 11, 2011, 9:54am UTC
It never hurts to be careful though Chelsea. Someone who is in the publics eye needs to stay safe. Walk with a big dog and carry some pepper spray? You know as well as I do that things can get ugly fast in today's world. Less and less people understand decorum. Stay safe out there.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 11, 2011, 7:14pm UTC
I understand Janice. I'm pretty safe. Keep my place on CC surveillance at all times, gated property, etc. And a big sharp stick by my door.
janice p. Dec 11, 2011, 10:23pm UTC
Good that makes me feel better.
Skirts Daggers Dec 11, 2011, 7:11pm UTC
Steph says:
(FYI- have a degree of my own in Criminal Psychology, Cert. Police Ofc, and Cert. Fema.....go ahead, goodle it, investigate it, etc....)

Many have done this and NOTHING comes up. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. So if you are going to make these claims, you to to post your degree and these certificates. And cops are not "certified". You are either a cop or you are not. You either went to a police academy and were sworn in, or you were not. You were not. School security officer means is not a police officer.

With that said, I seem to be on all of these "crime blogs" and I see Steph attacking people non stop. If anyone is bullying anyone, it is you. Fact. The trail is all over the internet.

So we all look forward to you sharing with us proof that you have a degree in Criminal Psychology, was (is?) a sworn in police officer who graduated the police academy and a certified FEMA (FEMA WHAT?). If you do not provide this, then you are simply lying.
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 11, 2011, 7:17pm UTC
I didn't even know there was a "criminal psychology" degree anyway.

Thought you had to take 8 semesters in psychology (bachelor's degree) and then another 8 semesters in Criminal Justice (which is what I'm doing currently) and then another 30 credit hours of sociology/anthropology and even then we're talking entry level status.... so, that's more than one degree.. that's degrees in several studies to complete one "job title"

I might be wrong though....
janice p. Dec 11, 2011, 10:27pm UTC
No there is criminal psychology. It is an extention of a psychology degree. Sort of like if your an MD. You can futher your education and become an oncologist or gynecologist. You see what I mean? Criminal psychologist might do criminal profiling. A good example would be what some of the team in the series criminal minds do.
Jean faulkner Dec 19, 2011, 1:02pm UTC
Did Stephanie A say anything about Sams Town in October 2011 ? ANSWER - No she did not.

What she did was see Sams town on a comment somewhere else. and here it is and proof that Sams Town Casino information came from somewhere else. I visit this blog all the time so I know. The lady that wrote this comment below also posted it all over the internet and went to another forum and wrote it there which STEPH A was a member of until she got banned. So when Steph A took credit for her Sams Town location she did not have that information in October - it was posted on this psychics blog in reply to the insights that the blog writer had. So let the truth be known.

Dated 28 October.

The old Sam’s Town! It’s at 210 and 435 right on the river. Once a riverboat casino, now out of business.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam‘s_Town_Gambling_Hall,_Kansas_City

http://wikimapia.org/6612110/Old-Sam-s-Town-Casino

It is 1.3 miles from the Baby Lisa’s house.

Everything being described here made me keep thinking about this place. It's been out of business for years but the building is still there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... VTrODkCW0#! On that link a man drives from the dumpster, to the Irwin's, and goes into Sam's Town towards the end.

It's not mapped. You'd only know what that building is if you've ever lived here.

I don't get it... I only skimmed and saw the topless photo. What exactly are you planning on doing for money? I don't get it.
Steph A Dec 19, 2011, 11:26pm UTC
WTF...I'm on the sofa w/a bathing suit on.....Let's see.....Maybe you're a little confused on the definition of topless......all that schooling didn't teach you much: op·less/ˈtäplis/
Adjective:
(of a woman or a woman's item of clothing) Having or leaving the breasts uncovered.
Didn't know it was a crime to wear a bathing suit, while relaxing on sofa after swimming. (Well, depending on how you look, guess it could be a crime!)
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 28, 2011, 3:46pm UTC
wait... wasn't JREF going to give you a buttload of money for your talents? Why you out looking for "work" ;)
Chelsea Hoffman Dec 28, 2011, 3:50pm UTC
also -- copy and pasting one of the definitions given by wikipedia isn't helping you look superior. One of the definitions of "topless" is "without a shirt." (from merriam webster, learning english dictionary and princeton word files)

That describes the photo I saw, whether or not your flapjacks were showing is irrelevant. But it's apparent that I hit a nerve ..... I hope "Ross" or "McDonalds" hires you though. It's tough not making any money especially when it's someone who claims to have a degree..... I'm fortunate that I don't have to rely on employers for money, so I tend to forget that some people still struggle in the "labor force"....

looks like Steph could not resist her own importance and decided to print her reading for Michelle Parker.

Problem is where did she get the information - a bit from here and a bit from there, here a bit, there a bit, everywhere a bit bit. Proof is in the posts above.

Shelly Scott Jan 6, 2012, 9:36am UTC
Well first hand as a victim of SA, i can tell you that Sam's Town Casino was mentioned long before 10-28-2011. Matter of fact, I have proof that it was mentioned as early as 10-13-2011 on a site where Steph was a member. (notice the WAS?) She was banned from the site for stealing other peoples visions, dreams, or whatever you want to call them. I am not a psychic in any way shape or form, however, I am a member on the Psychic Crime Fighter Network, so WAS Steph. This is a network of real people that feel they have gifts, these people spend a lot of time sharing their visions and feelings throughout different threads on many different missing people. These people want NO recognition, they merely want to compares thoughts and try to make sense out of the things they see and feel. If they come up with something they feel is valid, admin will forward to LE for further investigating. Steph came there, viewed these things(never inputting) and then went and created her own blogs, with some of these same visions from the PCF as if they were her own. (fake? hmmm, you decide) They(PCF) keep a log of every time someone logs in, where they visit, and when they log out. Steph is a real winner, she deserves absolutely no attention from anyone, and I have already given her too much of my own. With that being said: I do have screen shot proof of everything I have just said. (so go ahead Steph, make my day, I'm sure I can forward my information to someone that will find it interesting)
juli henry Jan 23, 2012, 11:55pm UTC
She seems to be getting back a lot of what she puts out. She's been exploding all over You Tube and other people's blogs, as well! Just hunting down anyone who does not agree with her, and starting online arguements.
Chelsea Hoffman Jan 23, 2012, 11:56pm UTC
She also has her husband going to her defense (and in not a very professional way)

Some of us ARE still trying to find answers. This page was created for searches for Lisa Irwin. The next search will be this Saturday at 9am.
Heaven M. May 7, 2012, 5:57pm UTC
Everyone is arguing on here about "how its about Lisa", yet not one of you has really mentioned anything relevant about her. Stop being mean to each other and focus on this beautiful innocent baby that NEEDS to be found!
I'm sure everyone has their own opinions and beliefs, but Chelsea please leave Mrs Almaguer's children out of it. I assume you do not have any children of your own; if you did, then you would have understood mentioning anything about someones child is OFF limits!!!
So I agree, none of the parents statements are adding up. Lisa's mother failed her polygraph test. Does the father know more than what he is portraying?
Chelsea Hoffman May 7, 2012, 6:21pm UTC
