She Led Police To The Body, Then They Arrested Her | The Murder of Melanie Uribe | Murder Unscripted | E126

A stranger told police exactly where to find the body of a missing nurse. So they arrested her on suspicion of murder. December 1980, the San Fernando Valley. Melanie Uribe, a 31-year-old nurse and single mom, stopped at a red light on her way to an overnight shift and never made it to work. Days later, a woman across town who had never met her, an ordinary Lockheed clerk named Etta Smith, began seeing a place in her mind: a canyon, a curve, a dirt path, something white in the brush. She took it to police. When they wouldn't listen, she drove out and found Melanie's body herself, exactly where she'd pictured it, and detectives made her the prime suspect in Melanie's murder. Ed continues “Psychic Connections” (our October block of cases where a psychic worked alongside police), with a story the detectives could never explain, and a victim who deserves to be remembered for far more than the mystery around her death.
