The episode features interviews with various psychics who have claimed to help law enforcement solve cases, as well as police officers and detectives who have worked with these individuals.
The show explores the controversial topic of using psychics in criminal investigations. While some law enforcement officials have praised these individuals for their help in solving cases, others are skeptical of their abilities and view their tactics as unorthodox and unreliable.
The viewer is introduced to a number of psychic detectives who claim to have assisted in a variety of investigations. One such individual is Nancy Myer, who has worked on over 400 cases. Myer discusses her process of receiving visions and gut instincts, which she then relays to law enforcement officials.
Another psychic detective featured in the episode is Gale St. John, who says she has worked on over 500 missing persons cases.

Others, however, describe situations where a psychic's information has led them to important clues and evidence.
The episode also dives into the legal issues surrounding the use of psychics in criminal investigations. While some states have laws in place that prohibit the use of psychics in official investigations, others do not have any regulations on the matter.
