DEAD PROSTITUTE SPEAKS TO VETERAN COP
(Original headline: Cop hears murdered prostitute speak )

A veteran city cop is convinced the voice of murdered prostitute Rachel
Quinney was picked up on an audio recording as she spoke from beyond the
grave.
"I saw it. I heard it. I believe," said Const. Wayne Fermaniuk, who on
June 26 accompanied a psychic to the spot where Quinney's body was
discovered.
"If (the psychic) was a phoney, I wanted to expose him. But he's got me.
I'm convinced."
Fermaniuk, a 25-year veteran of the Edmonton Police Service, was among a
small group of people who ventured to the spot in Strathcona County
where the body of 19-year-old Quinney was found June 11, 2004.
Also there were Rachel's mother, Delia Quinney, and one of Rachel's
sisters.
They were led by psychic and spiritual medium Alan Hatfield, from Pictou
Landing First Nation in Nova Scotia.

Hatfield, who says he came to Alberta at the request of the Quinney
family, set up an infrared camera and audio recorder at the site where
Quinney's body was found.
Along with the voices of Fermaniuk and Quinney's mother and sister, who
were all present, Rachel's voice could be heard on the tape's playback,
said Hatfield.
"It was clear and came in between other dialogue," he said.
"Rachel came on, and her grandmom and granddad, who are Delia's mom and
dad, they came on, too." Hatfield says he also captured images of
"spiritual energies" flitting around the site.

Neither Hatfield nor Fermaniuk would reveal what they heard Rachel say
on the recorded audio of the approximately hour-long session, saying it
could jeopardize the police investigation into her unsolved death.
But Hatfield did say that Rachel talked about her murder. "She's very
angry, very angry. She's a fighter. She didn't go down easy. She fought
all the way."

Fermaniuk said the voice sounded "like a woman talking."
"I heard the clips that the mother (Delia) said were her daughter
talking. It kind of sounds like it's in the background, and you have to
turn it up a bit, but it's there."
Last week's visit, which Hatfield says he paid for himself, marked the
second time he has visited the spot with his psychic equipment. During a
half-hour session last summer, he claims a "male spirit" was captured on
tape saying the word "Tom."

In May of this year, 38-year-old Thomas Svekla was charged in the murder
of another sex-trade worker, Theresa Merrie Innes, whose body was found
in a Fort Saskatchewan home.
The arrest was the first made by Project KARE, a task force
investigating the murders and disappearances of dozens of area
prostitutes in the last 30 years, including Quinney.
Hatfield said he believes four people are involved in the murders of the
women, with one person acting as the "dumping guy."
Alberta RCMP spokesman Cpl. Wayne Oakes said Project KARE investigators
are reviewing Hatfield's material.

"Traditional investigative technique would not say let's go out and get
a psychic medium to have a seance and see what we can find out about
this crime," said Oakes.
"But there have been a number of examples over the years where
(information from psychics) has been fruitful."
