A grieving mum used a psychic 4,500 miles away to find her missing son's body - and claims she's glad his inquest was inconclusive.
Alex Holland's, 27, body was spotted by a dog walker face down in the water in February after he suddenly vanished last November - 1.5miles from his home in Hacklinge, Kent.
Mum Rachel Holland, 50, claims police refused to search the area of water which was highlighted by renowned psychic Mary Lawton Johnson, from Florida, US.
Psychic Mary sent emails and maps to Rachel and the police on where to find his body, believing he was murdered.
An inquest heard on Monday that a post mortem could not confirm the exact cause of the dad-of-two's death.
There was no evidence that it might have been suicide or that violence was used.
And despite the verdict bringing Alex's family no closer to the truth, his mum is glad it was left open.
Rachel and her family are convinced Alex was murdered.
She said: "It'll never be over for me as I've lost my son forever. I'm glad it was an open verdict as it can be reinvestigated at any time.
"I just feel numb. I honestly believe my son was murdered. He was found in the water but with no water in his lungs.
"So, I believe he was dead when he was put in it."
A post mortem examination classed the dad-of-two's death as unknown.
A toxicology check found small amounts of alcohol and cocaine in his system but these were not thought to have played a role.
Delivery driver Alex was living with his parents after being separated from his wife.
Mum Rachel last saw him on 28 November last year when he asked her to make sure he got up for work in the morning.
Mary told Rachel her son had been jumped and killed the night he went missing.
Rachel added: "I've said that to the police since day one. I believe he was dragged out of his car and taken in another vehicle and killed.
"Police wouldn't believe me - they wouldn't listen to a single word I said."
In 2015, the College of Policing advised that information from psychics should not be dismissed.
A Kent Police spokesperson told the Mirror: "Kent Police has received a complaint regarding the actions taken to search for Alex Holland who was reported missing on Sunday 28 November 2021.
"And whose body was discovered on Thursday 17 February 2022 near Hacklinge in Kent.
"In order to ensure the complaint is looked into fully, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
