A missing 17-year-old from Kentucky was found safe hours after a group of psychics consulted with police and predicted where she was.
Haylee Martin was reported missing from Frankfort on January 13 after she disappeared the day before.
When she still hadn’t been found a week later, Franklin County Sheriff Chris Quire contacted local mediums and asked them to meet on Thursday at the home where she was last seen.
Quire told the Frankfort State-Journal he was skeptical at first but ‘did not want to leave any stone unturned’.
‘It’s hard to believe, but most [of the psychics] agreed that we would find Haylee in a neighboring county by morning – and we did,’ the sheriff said.

Haylee was located on Friday morning in neighboring Scott County when police responding to a burglary call found her and a 21-year-old friend trying to break into the friend’s boyfriend’s home.

Authorities said Haylee had run away after breaking up with her boyfriend, and that three adults helped her hide for a week.
Two of those adults, who have not been publicly identified, may face charges for interfering with the missing persons investigation, Quire said.
After deputies figured out who she was, Haylee was taken to the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.
Social Services then placed her in foster care.
Quire said she was not sent back to her home because she told investigators she ‘would just run away again’.

Haylee had been reported missing by her father just before 5.30am on January 13.
He told investigators that the Western Hills High School student – who left behind her cellphone – had never run away before.
Quire said no charges will be filed against Haylee’s father, adding: ‘We are just glad she was found and is safe.’
