Texas may hopefully be the only place in this country where the cops can get a search warrant based solely on the word of a self-proclaimed psychic.

The police in East Texas were led on a fruitless search on Tuesday evening when a woman, claiming to be a psychic, called in a sensational tip, saying she knew of a mass grave where dozens of dismembered bodies were buried. Equipped with a search warrant and cadaver-sniffing dogs, deputies from the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office converged on a home on a narrow country road near Hardin — about an hour outside Houston — in search of a macabre crime scene. ... But in the end, there was no grave, there were no bodies and there was no sign that any crime had been committed.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the cops in Texas used haruspicy as an investigative tool.
