Spending most of my adult life as a detective, private investigator, or investigation supervisor, both in public service as a detective in the NYPD and in the private sector working cases nationwide, I unconsciously developed a sixth sense—an implicit intuition—for reading people and uncovering the truth. While most of the police detectives and professional investigators I know and have worked with will not openly admit to using their intuition to solve cases, it’s succinctly presumed that following our gut feelings often makes the difference in discovering hidden evidence to solve a case. In certain extreme circumstances, intuition may even prove to be the factor that inevitably saves your life or the life of your partner.
I strongly believe that developing the ability to listen, understand, trust, and then follow my intuition has definitively made me a better detective and quite possibly resulted in many of my greatest successes and accomplishments as a police detective and private investigator.
Thinking back to before Kiersten and I had the opportunity to speak on the phone, I remember asking myself, “What is this furniture company CEO from Arizona doing volunteering to assist on a high-profile missing persons case in Long Island, New York?” That being said, when I finally had the chance to speak to Kiersten on the phone for the first time, my intuition kicked into full gear. Much to my surprise, not long into our conversation, I realized that she was unlike any other intuitive medium I had spoken to throughout the years. She explained to me that she recently discovered that she possessed certain abilities that might assist investigators in finding missing persons and that she was simply looking to volunteer her time because she cared. I eventually came to understand, as time went on and as I got to know Kiersten personally, that she had truly been given a gift for helping others in this way...especially kids.
More precisely, what I love about Kiersten—as is illustrated in her book—is that she’s just a regular person thrown into supernatural experiences. Unbeknownst to her at that time, those experiences had meaning far beyond what she could see. The belief in what we can’t see, especially as a detective looking for quantifiable, tangible evidence, is extremely difficult. However, Kiersten makes it easy to believe. In her moving story, we see that she is just like most of us—extremely logical and fact-driven. The most amazing part of her journey is that she wasn’t looking for any of what has happened to her...it simply found her.
Thankfully, in writing this book, Kiersten was brave enough to share her undercover life as a reluctant medium and her amazing journey of survival and healing from abuse. After reading her book, I hope you find the same strength and fearlessness and that you learn to trust your own intuition. What Kiersten reveals to all of us is a hands-on roadmap for life, as it’s been proven in my personal experience, for truth and justice as well.
