Holly Wells’ family contacted psychic Dennis McKenzie to help locate the missing girls. According to McKenzie, he immediately knew that Wells and Jessica Chapman were no longer alive. “I was really hoping my spirit guide would give me some good news but as I got closer to Soham I had a heavy feeling of foreboding,” he said (via Express). “As I got out of the car, I heard my guide saying in a very clipped, precise voice: ‘They’re dead.’ I felt sick inside,” McKenzie continued.

Apart from that information, McKenzie also shared some details about the perpetrator. He described a brown-haired man with a low IQ and said that Wells and Chapman were killed on the night they disappeared. He shared with the authorities the view from the house where the girls were murdered and said that there was a ditch outside the window. He also said the girls’ bodies were transported to another location using a red car. According to Chilling Crimes, authorities were able to confirm through CCTV footage that the girls purchased sweets at the Sports Centre at Soham Village College. Witnesses also remembered seeing them there. One of the witnesses, Ian Huntley, said that Wells and Chapman talked to him about his girlfriend, Maxine Carr, who was a teaching assistant at the school the girls attended. Huntley said the girls went on their way after their brief conversation.
