Psychic effort yields no clues in woman's disappearance

A psychic was unable to give Watertown police any new direction Wednesday about the fate of Annette Y. Vazquez.

Two city detectives were accompanied by the psychic, a Jefferson County woman, in a drive to various locations as they attempted to develop leads about Ms. Vazquez's Dec. 8 disappearance, according to Lt. Frank J. Derrigo. Among areas they approached were the apartment house where Ms. Vazquez lived, at 657 Olive St., and a house on Winthrop Street where her former boyfriend, Ramon Robles, had been living up to Dec. 8, Lt. Derrigo said.

Nothing was developed, he said. He declined to name the psychic.

The woman is one of five psychics who had offered their assistance to city police.

Mr. Robles is listed as a "person of interest" in the Vazquez disappearance. He has not made himself available to police for an interview despite his promise to do so in a cell phone conversation Dec. 15 with the missing woman's brother, Carlos Vazquez, the lieutenant said.

Ms. Vazquez, 33, the divorced mother of two girls, ages 12 and 6, was heard arguing with a man in her apartment the morning of her disappearance, according to one of her neighbors in the apartment building.
