PHOENIX -- The search for a loved one can be a desperate time for a family and many of them will turn to anything or anyone for help -- including psychics.

For more than two decades, Kelly Snyder worked in law enforcement. At one point, he worked with the Center For Missing and Exploited Children.

That's when he decided to branch out on his own and start the group, Find Me.

“The whole premise was to look for missing children and it slowly and methodically changed from missing children to adults,” Snyder said.

Besides having volunteers that were former cops and military, Snyder’s group was a little different. He also employed psychics.

“I wanted to have something that 98 or 99 percent of police don't have,” Snyder said.

The group employs more than 60 psychics from around the globe. They have been able to locate people in places they've never even been to.

Sunny Dawn Johnston is one of the psychics that works with Find Me.

“Part of my service work or my work to humanity is to be able to use that gift to help bring closure,” she said.

One case that stands out in her mind is out of Kansas, where a man disappeared without a trace.

Johnston said she got the man's name and birth date and through meditation started coming up with clues.

“I do what I call automatic writing,” Johnston said. “I just start channeling information.”

Johnston said she'll almost immediately know if the person is dead or alive.

“I usually feel the way the person died in my body,” she said. “Not the pain of it but I feel the pressure.”

Johnston said she uses this information to guide her on a map to where the body could be.

“They had searched that area before but this particular day they went back,” she said. “The body floated up.

The group isn't always right.

“It's not that the information is coming through wrong, it's that I as a psychic or medium am discerning the information wrong,” Johnston said.

But when they are right, the rewards for the families are plentiful.

“They have this closure and in the human aspect closure is certainly important,” Johnston said.

“This is something that you don't want to charge a family for,” she said. “They're going through enough tragedy in their lives.”

Since the group started nearly seven years ago, they've been successful at locating 12 people.

During that time, they've only had six families refuse their service.
