An Australian woman, Cheryl Carroll-Lagerway, dreamt a girl had been murdered and her body discarded in a bushland park in west Sydney. Sure enough, when she led police to the creek bed she had seen in her dream a body was found ... but it was the wrong body!

Instead of six-year-old Kiesha Abrahams (right), who had been missing for two weeks, the police found half a torso of an adult woman, believed to be Kristi McDougall, a 31-year-old mother with a son aged two, who has been missing since 19 June.

Cheryl, who is described in some media accounts as an aboriginal elder, said: "I don't know, it's not psychic, it's inside you - if you have a near death experience, yeah, it's in you."

At a press conference, the Homicide Squad's Pamela Young confirmed: "A woman, she had a sense or a feeling that it was worth her while to come to this particular part of the park... It is quite unusual circumstances that brought us here, that she would think that initially and then we actually find a body."

Meanwhile, the hunt goes on for little Kiesha who went missing from her bed while her mother and stepfather were watching TV in the living room on 1 August. Police are focussing their search at Nurragingy Reserve at Doonside, a short distance from Kiesha's Mt Druitt home near Sydney, New South Wales.
