Can anyone help me remember an early UM case... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

...involving a teenage girl that was murdered in the northeast or New England area that involved the use of a psychic? The girl's body was recovered near an industrial factory in some kind of pit or water hole near some big water pipes (if I'm not mistaken). If I remember correctly, the girl's father was interviewed during the segment and the girl may have been killed by a boyfriend from school?? Does anyone have any details on this case?

This was the care involving the late psychic Dorothy Allison and the victim of the crime was Susan Jacobson, a pretty teenager from Staten Island, New York who disappeared while on her way to a job interview in the early 70s.

Dorothy had several visions about what exactly happened to Jacobson which proved accurate when her body was found in 1976 not by Allison or Susan's parents but rather by a 13-year-old boy who had been playing with friends. The case was detailed on UM as a way of introducing Dorothy's psychic abilities to the audiance.

Sadly the actual case profiled on that particular episode (special #6) involving Dorothy has never been solved. That is the case of Lori Zimmerman who was murdered in Hagerstown, Maryland on the afternoon of April 6, 1984. To this day her case remains unsolved.

I would love to see it solved someday not only to bring some peace to Lori's family but also to see if Dorothy's clues about the case proved accurate.

Thanks alot. Wasn't that the first case on UM to feature a psychic and has Lifetime ever played it? It's been a long time since I've seen it.
