Sneak peek: A Vision of Murder | Forensic Files

this is a murder case that began with a nightmare and a woman who had visions of
violence to me it was a dream I woke up and it just startled me I usually have very strange dreams
when I wake up in the morning I remember bits and pieces and within half an hour
it's completely gone I said I'm worried about Kelly I think Kelly's hurt Kelly brenon was was a nurse at one
of the local hospitals well thought of at the hospital Kelly was beautiful when she
came in the room it was like glamorous she was patient oriented wasn't afraid to take charge we call her
the sarge tell me what happened what did you dream about Kelly everything was black
and she was arguing with somebody and I saw the sign for Mark's landing on February 15 2010 Kelly Brennan went
missing she didn't show up for work there was like A unsettling Panic that we didn't know what would happened to
Kelly something was not right it was not adding up and that's why we called the police 911 what's the problem there I
think there's been a murder we sent people down to start to look at Mark's landing and in that area to see if they
could find Kelly and actually put a Aviation unit up in the air helicopter had had spotted what they believed to be
a a person laying in the wooded a area shortly later we were able to uh identify that it was Kelly
Brun if you follow me Peter right back in here toward the scrub wow back in the bush and this is where Kelly ended her
life right here most of the injuries are are directed direct at her head so there's a frenzied attack with
many blows being struck there's a lot of anger and rage in that once the body's found and it's where she says it is
Mark's Landing I said I can see Mark's Landing of course then she becomes your prime suspect in the dream just like I
told them she was arguing with somebody my name is Todd darany I was a criminal defense lawyer and one day Sheila Trot
came into my office and told me that she was accused of murder Sheila was trying
to convey to me that she didn't commit any murder and that she merely had a dream a vision about this that came to
her like she was Clair voyant if it hadn't been for me they wouldn't have gone to mark standing
looking for her I told the truth and I'm continuing to tell the truth I did not kill Kelly Brennan you don't believe
that she has some Supernatural ability that all these facts came to her in a dream no I don't think she's clar voyant
I think she's a killer [Music]
