Report from the Psychic Detective: Case Closed

I'm talking here about a case I've been involved in, one way or another for a long time now.
My involvement with this affair began many years ago when the father of a missing boy came to see me as a psychic to help him find his missing son.
I worked on the case for several weeks, on and off and ended up with a large file of psychic clues. A team of us went looking often.

The provincial newspaper from the town published my psychic impressions, along with a photo of me onto its front page so that the whole town could get working together in finding him.
After several months neither our team of psychics, the local police nor any locals had managed to find the missing boy. Many myths and theories abounded within the community- as they usually do in such cases.
The boy's family was, needless to say completely gutted.

Several years later when I was working in the prison system one of the men accused of the boys murder started coming to me for counseling. Of course he didn't recognize me as the psychic whose story had been front page news.
But he did tell me about what this psychic had said. I think it had obviously bothered him on some level. He said something like, "this crazy psychic had some of the stuff right".

Anyways after a period of time he had built up a good trust with me and told me many details of the case.
It turns out that much of what I had felt was accurate. But, as can sometimes be the case a major detail was wrong and in this case it was relating to location. Details about the old mine shaft and the company that owned it were correct.
This fellah felt that he was cursed. Ever since the day of the boys murder he had been plagued with some terrible physical conditions that had caused him immense pain and great difficulty in sleeping.
In fact he had initially approached me to see if I could help him deal with a 'curse' that had been put onto him. He was convinced he was cursed - and in a way he was.
