The father of Claremont serial killer victim Sarah Spiers yesterday lashed out at a group of psychics who claimed to have identified the murderer and displayed an identikit image of him at a recent show in Perth.
Don Spiers said he was disgusted by the Psychic Taskforce event at Burswood Casino on September 27, which featured psychics Scott Russell Hill, Anthony Grzelka and Deb Malone, who presented a raft of claims regarding the unsolved murders and the supposed killer.
Mr Spiers, who recently revealed he suffered depression as a result of being approached by psychics offering information about the whereabouts of his daughter in exchange for money, said the event was about “profitmaking, not solving the case”. At the event, the psychics showed the audience an identikit image of the man they believe to be the serial killer and gave a detailed description of him. They claimed he now was aged between 35 and 40 and had victims other than Ms Spiers, Ciara Glennon and Jane Rimmer. They also told the audience that the man was a highly efficient killer who had known Ms Spiers.
Police declined yesterday to comment on the psychics’ claims but are understood to consider them inaccurate and damaging to the investigation.
“Psychics just want to make money from other people’s grief and misfortune,” Mr Spiers said.
“It upsets me that they are still trying to gain from the death of my daughter and the other girls after all these years.”
He said he had been so desperate to find his daughter after she disappeared more than 10 years ago that he had listened to the “shysters”.
The psychics involved in the event could not be contacted for comment yesterday.

Three young women with their whole lives ahead of them.
Three young women from loving, close-knit families in Perth's well-to-do western suburbs.
Three young women brutally killed over a 14-month period.
The prosecution in the trial of Bradley Robert Edwards argues just one man was responsible for the wilful murders of Sarah Spiers, Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon, and their argument was laid bare by Carmel Barbagallo SC on the opening day of what is expected to be a six-month trial.
Key points from day one:
- The bodies of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon were found in strikingly similar but mirror image poses of each other
- Ms Glennon's body was covered in branches and leaves pulled from nearby trees that were at least two metres tall. The prosecution says this has to have been done by a very tall person
- Both bodies had deep marks on them that the prosecution said were likely made with a sharp instrument used in a sawing motion
- Ms Rimmer's silver wristwatch was found metres from her body on the same day the prosecution say she was murdered, but her body was not discovered for another five weeks
- Police had additional CCTV vision of Jane Rimmer at the Continental Hotel in Claremont in the hour before she vanished that was never publicly released
- Three young men known as the 'burger boys' saw a woman matching Ms Glennon's description in Claremont in the early hours of March 14, 1997 as they ate Hungry Jack's burgers at a bus stop on Stirling Highway
- The men saw the woman lean down and apparently talk to the driver of a white Holden Commodore station wagon who had stopped near where she had been standing
It is almost impossible to overstate the importance of the case to the wider Perth community.
The disappearance of 18-year-old Ms Spiers, 23-year-old Ms Rimmer and 27-year-old Ms Glennon from the streets of Claremont in what appeared to be near-identical circumstances shocked the city in a fundamental way.
There was a sense of disbelief that three young women from relatively affluent families could be abducted and murdered after doing what most young people did on the weekend — going out and enjoying themselves.
As Ms Barbagallo said in her opening address: 'There were so many questions for which the lack of answers underpinned and cemented the concern and fear that ran through the community of Claremont.
'The young people who patronised the area, and the loving families of these young ones hoping that when they kissed or hugged them goodbye, that it would not be the last time that they would do so.'
Graphic details mark opening day
That wide public interest was on display in the WA Supreme Court on Monday as dozens of members of the public joined the families of the victims and a vast media throng to hear details of the case.
It made for uncomfortable listening at times, especially as the raw details were relayed by Ms Barbagallo about the condition of the bodies of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon when they were found and the way the prosecution said they were killed.
In the cases of Ms Rimmer and Ms Spiers, Ms Barbagallo said witnesses had reported hearing high-pitched female screams around the time they went missing — in Mosman Park when Ms Spiers disappeared in January 1996 and in Wellard five months later, near where Ms Rimmer's body was found.
Graphic descriptions of the abduction and brutal rape of a teenager at Karrakatta Cemetery in 1995 were also read out by Ms Barbagallo, crimes to which Edwards has already pleaded guilty.
There was also a lot of new detail revealed.
For instance, Jane Rimmer's wristwatch was found by accident by a man riding a horse with a female companion along the unsealed Woolcoot Road in Wellard.
It was only when he was collecting his possessions after falling off his horse that he noticed the silver wristwatch in the middle of the road, just metres from where Ms Rimmer's body was lying under tree branches and foliage.
The chance discovery came on the very same day the prosecution said Ms Rimmer was killed at Wellard and her body hidden in bushland.
But she would not be found for another five weeks, by which time her body was badly decomposed.
New audio, CCTV played to court
Some of the more haunting evidence presented was never-before-seen images of Ms Rimmer on CCTV cameras at the Continental Hotel in the hour before she was last seen alive.
Then there was the crackly recording played to the court of Ms Spiers making what would turn out to be her last-ever phone call — to ring for a taxi on the night she went missing.
'I'm at the phone booth,' Ms Spiers tells the taxi switchboard operator.
'At Stirling Highway?' the operator asks.
'That's right,' Ms Spiers replied.
'Where are you going?'
'Mosman Park,' Ms Spiers says.
It would be an unremarkable conversation under normal circumstances, but hearing her young voice with its distinctive Australian accent played in court, armed with the knowledge that it was the last anyone would hear from her, made it profoundly sad and deeply unsettling.
DNA to be a key factor
It was obvious from the tenor of Ms Barbagallo's arguments that the question of whether samples taken from the bodies of Ms Glennon and the Karrakatta rape victim, who cannot be named, had been contaminated would be a key element of contention between the prosecution and the defence. Dairy queen training program.
Ms Barbagallo went to great lengths to detail the processes involved in both collecting and storing the samples, as well as how they were tested at different times over a 20-year period.
It would be 'an exercise in error' to suggest the samples could have been contaminated, Ms Barbagallo said, and there was no evidence to suggest this had happened.
'DNA doesn't just fly around a laboratory,' she said.
But defence lawyer Paul Yovich SC has already flagged in pre-trial hearings that identity will be a key issue and that contamination and the improper handling of samples will be of fundamental importance to the defence case.
Ms Barbagallo is expected to continue to lay down the prosecution case against Edwards on Tuesday, with Mr Yovich to get his turn to argue on behalf of Edwards later in the week.
