In late 2025 University of West Georgia (UWG) public communications still cite hundreds of missing children police cases worked by a 'psychic medium' in official UWG website summaries of UWG PSI Special Collection materials. Indeed, the UWG has now distributed these website statements since mid 2019. And the UWG claims the same 'psychic medium' works for the FBI on FBI cases. Yet for decades other research centers have shown these claims are fiction. Have academic and research standards inside the University System of Georgia completely imploded?

Evidence reveals that hundreds of these UWG missing children and child murder cases claimed by the UWG as having been worked by the 'psychic medium' for the FBI and at other Public Law Enforcement (PLE) agencies were never actually sanctioned, approved, nor authorized for work by those agencies. And hundreds more of these UWG 'psychic medium' PLE and FBI cited cases have never existed. They are just delusions and story tales.

Amazingly this UWG cited 'psychic medium' promoted in UWG public communications is actually a radio and TV actress who falsely claims she works FBI cases as an "FBI medium investigator". Of great concern is that even after UWG senior officials and staff in 2023 were pointed to prior court transcripts and testimony from FBI officers and the actress herself, that showed she never worked on cases for the FBI, and never worked for the FBI, the UWG continues to distribute false claims to the contrary on its official UWG websites. These UWG deceptive public communications raise significant concerns of UWG academic integrity and research failings.

Equally disturbing is that while the UWG is administered by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) and its appointed president, currently Dr. Christopher "Mike" Johnson, the USG has not corrected UWG statements. In fact for years the USG Executive Administrative Council and the USG Academic Affairs and Administrative Services, which manages the university's operations, colleges, and programs have apparently failed in their awareness of widely published and voiced international concerns by other researchers.

Now in late 2025 UWG websites promote this 88-year-old or 89-year-old actress who for decades has charged $20 to $40 a minute fees to access her 'super psychic powers' to ---she claims--- contact and talk with missing, dead, and murdered children.

While the U.S. state of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles shows the actress born in 1937, a 2025 UWG posting claims 1936 --- just one of many odd and/or sloppy UWG public communications. More critically, the UWG apparently accepts this actress as having many authentic 'God like' paranormal superpowers. However, this UWG supported and self-claimed 'psychic medium detective' is the highly discredited actress Noreen Renier of Florida.

In late 2025 the UWG boasts Noreen Renier "has worked with law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on approximately 600 unsolved cases." However, among UWG's estimated 600 Public Law Enforcement (PLE) cases worked by Renier, not a single U.S. PLE agency was found that confirmed such PLE and FBI cases sanctioned for Noreen Renier to work as a hire, and authorized to handle matching PLE and FBI case evidence. Across the last four decades even among many North American, European, Asian, and Australian PLE agencies, none reported that Noreen Renier was PLE hired and sanctioned to handle and examine all PLE evidence. She has for five decades spent far more time before televison cameras, newspaper reporters, on radio, and marketing herself with exaggerated claims, than any time spent working a case with PLE officers who sanctioned her assistance.

Renier herself reluctantly testified about her PLE work claims, admitting that she actually has no dated or numbered PLE agency work listings. Nor has she kept any PLE agency names, PLE contact names, or PLE case numbers that match up with her "more than hundreds" of PLE cases that she claims to have worked, nor that match the estimated 600 PLE and FBI cases the UWG first cited in 2019 and continues to promote in late 2025.

The University of West Georgia now fully appears to be corrupting its own ethical, scientific, academic, and research integrity communication standards. This continuing UWG communications turmoil showcases UWG's unwillingness to correct its own Noreen Renier falsehoods. UWG students may need to be concerned at the educational quality they are receiving as these appalling UWG communication failures and their corrective enforcement appear repeatedly excusable even over six years when applied to UWG staff and faculty, but not so for students. Additionally both UWG donors and grant institutions should investigate how their UWG funding is being intermixed beside such globally viewed UWG spirit medium shenanigans promoted in UWG public communications, including on UWG websites. Not surprisingly, Noreen Renier has been unable to show any evidence in courts of her claimed "more than hundreds" of PLE agency hirings or payment fees. Across the last 20 years her website posted fees for PLE agency work were typically $1000, and they have never been shown or discussed by Renier as free. Just how many University of West Georgia faculty and staff are behind such corruption of accurate facts in UWG communications? It certainly appears to be a growing number and apparently some who now toss out obfuscation marketing spin mixing paranormal talking ghost claims, disputed UWG parapsychology claims, and discredited materials from its own UWG PSI collections.

On one 2025 official UWG Special Collections website ---among over 4 dozen UWG separate web sites showing files common to Noreen Renier--- the UWG boldly claims that its Special Collection "includes material on cases that Renier worked on for the FBI." Truthful? No. Because compounding that UWG falsehood is testimony by FBI Special Agent Robert Ressler stating Renier's claim of working for the FBI "is not true. …she does not work on F.B.I. cases… …She never really worked for the F.B.I.” And his senior, FBI Chief Roger Depue, also testified that Renier never did FBI case work. Ever. And neither Renier nor UWG have any PLE 'Chain of Custody' (CoC) chronology logs showing she ever handled PLE case evidence from any of 17,743 U.S. PLE agencies to match the UWG claim of near 600 cases. In October 2024 the new Microsoft 'Co-Pilot' AI option on the Bing search engine produced a false, but revealing statement. It stated that Noreen Renier worked on cases for the FBI by citing the UWG to support that claim. Yet the UWG showcases absolutely nothing to back its own public communications that the UWG holds material on cases that Renier worked for the FBI. No UWG check out or missing materials list, no FBI case material collection back-up materials, and no FBI 'Chain of Custody' (CoC) chronology case materials crossed tied to either the UWG or Noreen Renier. Nothing but UWG apparent make believe UWG fictional tales distributed by the UWG globally since 2019. Years of fictional UWG communications about a psychic medium working on FBI cases directly for the FBI and falsely communicated out to thousands of global families with stolen and missing children? It certainly appears so. And a major question is, if true, why would the UWG continue and defend such activities?

In late May 2025 another UWG website notes that UWG Professor Blynne Olivieri Parker, who as of March 2025 is also now the Dean of the UWG Ingram Library on campus, "reviewed Noreen Renier’s personal archive in July 2019 in Port Orange, Florida, and selected these materials to be sent to the University of West Georgia for permanent retention. Renier deeded the materials to the university on July 30, 2019." So UWG Dean Blynne Olivieri Parker, "reviewed", retained, and "selected" a large collection from a court discredited psychic actress, and then managed UWG distributing a collection of claims across official UWG websites. Many of the selections gathered by Dean Blynne Olivieri Parker have now been published by UWG for over six years even though many UWG senior executives, including UWG Dean Blynne Olivieri Parker herself; current staff for the UWG President; and lawyers at the UWG Office of Legal Affairs were all told over two years ago, (back on May 19, 2023), that UWG was publishing "deceptive, harmful, and fictitious promotional" claims and statements damaging to the global public community.

It remains unclear how many UWG personnel processed and coded the vast UWG Noreen Renier Collection subject and scope descriptions, but its clear in late 2025 there are valid concerns of reckless PSI paranormal misrepresentations involving law enforcement agencies across UWG public website summaries and among UWG PSI Collection public communications. These concerns prompted further Global Net Research funding and activities in recent months which uncovered additional UWG concerns.

Has the UWG created phoney ties to major global PLE agencies to convince families with lost and murdered children to book Noreen Renier to contact their missing or dead children? If so, did some UWG employees receive financial kick-backs from what appears to be a 'million dollar plus' business? With Renier's claimed PLE cases worked "more than hundreds", even just 1000 PLE cases would net $1 million. Toss in over 4 decades of private medium soothsayer sessions, and the dollars raised could easily triple, quadruple, or exceed $5 million. And yet among these many spinning parts and claims, which and how many are a charade? Or just UWG communication fiction? Indeed, did some UWG students, including student web script and software writers provide assistance to UWG staff personnel and receive academic credits for doing so?

Critically, Renier and UWG statements also seem to suggest Renier has mystical powers while holding objects, such as while touching Public Law Enforcement (PLE) physical evidence. Are both the UWG and Renier spinning a claim that touching an object can trigger 'psychometry' paranormal powers? There is of course no scientific evidence that psychometry exists, but even extensive testing directly on Renier hasn't stopped the UWG.

Ignored by UWG, Noreen Renier has only catastrophic 'psychometry' touching failures after expert testing by Southern Oregon State College faculty (Click to see Finding #22 at https://www.globalnetresearch.com/findings.html ). Yet UWG personnel offer no UWG method tests of their own, but remain firm in still backing Renier. UWG currently states that "her method involves holding items belonging to the missing person in order to learn information about the place, time, and circumstances of their disappearance." Such items have included the holding of Teddy Bears from missing and dead children. But not a single lost child or adult has ever been located using this mystical UWG 'touch-sense' claim. Yet during a typical Renier 25 to 40 minute medium session to contact the missing or dead, Noreen Renier often suggested along with their $1000 cash or check payment -- no credit cards were allowed -- that clients also send a personal item from the lost family member before Renier made contact using her ghost entities and her sensing of psychic vibrations.

According to retired private investigator Arthur Carmelo, Noreen Renier claims she has touched "thousands" of sensory items. He has spoken with many of her past clients who said Renier had them wrap a "lock of hair" in aluminum foil inside the mailing envelope with their personal or bank cashier's check. He also found many instead sent Renier different personal items including "small stuffed animals, child artwork, small books, hair combs, men's cuff links, dolls, women's scarfs, hand mittens, hair pins, several toothbrushes, and even a partially eaten bag of Cheetos" which, according to feedback from Renier to that client, produced “strong sensory waves” allowing Renier to contact a deceased young boy.

During brief recorded medium sessions, a few samples of which are stored by the UWG in their Noreen Renier Collection #MS-0083, actress Noreen Renier voices both her own voice and projects the responses from "lost souls" reaching out. Her paying clients also heard her medium session live over the phone, and often "communicated" thru Renier with their children or another family member or friend. In a public statement issued in her own published media pack titled "Workshop ESP: An Awareness" Noreen Renier stated even "an optional trance" was available "to make contact with the deceased relatives, friends, or famous people, and questions may be posed to 'Sing' and 'Robert', Noreen's two main spiritual entities, who have something to say about everything!" Now, after her "retirement" in mid 2023, the UWG continues to publicly provide access to its Renier collection. But it does so with no UWG warnings or stated reservations that hearing or relying on such paranormal methods can result in significant costs, just delusionary fiction, and additional emotional harms. Nor does UWG mention that Noreen Renier herself has been shown as not credible by a U.S. federal court, nor that the judgment against her was also supported by four additional U.S. federal judges. Excerpts from those judgements are shown below.

UWG even ignores Renier testimony that 40 years ago she stopped logging PLE agencies, cases, or contacts after her initial "35 to 40" files were "lost" by Renier. So UWG actually in 2019 never had any proof to support media stories citing PLE cases worked by Renier, resolved by Renier, or even existing. Not its estimated 600 cases much less even five. Indeed U.S. federal court subpoenas uncovered one unreported Noreen Renier bank account hidden just weeks after Noreen Renier declared a 2nd bankruptcy. Records provided to the federal bankruptcy Court Trustee state that Renier "provided information about seven (7) accounts in her bankruptcy petition: four different accounts at Wachovia Bank in Charlottesville, two retirement accounts (American Funds and Evergreen Investments), and a closed account at Bank of America in Tampa. However, the Debtor [Renier], failed to identify her checking account at the Putt Putt branch of Bank of America in Charlottesville." That hidden account showed cash deposits well over $100,000.00 including many additional payments from families who paid Renier for an over-the-phone missing child medium session. A related question is why were at least 7 different active financial accounts needed by Renier who initially claimed to the bankruptcy court that her total income the year before was just $6371.00? Then where did the funds in the hidden account come from and go to?

Among many families contacted from checks processed thru Renier's hidden bank account, not even one family said Renier had found their child. Many were further emotionally devastated as Renier, using a childish voice, voiced a child speaking thru one or both of Renier's claimed ghost entities. According to multiple witnesses across multiple sessions, Renier's mouth cried out repeatedly with the sound of a child's anguish that they were lost and afraid. This is the reality behind a UWG facade that the UWG showcases as a valued historical collection for academic research.

Instead the UWG is seen by many as providing a global stage for Noreen Renier, a former dinner theatre and lengthy professional playhouse actress. As early as 1957 the Key West Citizen newspaper described her as an "actress and model" as well as a "beauty contest" candidate having "radio and TV experience in acting." Later Noreen Renier for years worked in entertainment lounges and also operated and acted in her own nightclub. Noreen Renier was a performer across decades who also launched a business booking parents of lost and missing children to her own 'spiritual medium' sessions well before her claims of "suddenly" discovering her claimed psychic abilities. The University of West Georgia does not mention Renier's extensive history as a night club, bar, lounge, and playhouse actress and participant. By the late 1970's according to several trade companions, Renier discovered that she could sit in her own home and by phone discuss psychics, spiritual healings, and paranormal events on late night AM radio stations for free. As she became better recognized, radio stations booked her more often including across larger regions of the U.S. and Canada. With this better coverage she also began drawing new clients looking for advice by phone during the day after listening to her at night. Within a short period she became an American psychic talk show star, and also expanded from radio to TV. Over the years she evolved into a self-described 'police psychic contacting the murdered' further expanding her recognition.

After changing her title to just 'Police Psychic Detective' she even picked up a short luncheon talk at the FBI Training Academy located about an hour from her home. She quickly turned that description from 'a short talk over lunch in front of a few FBI trainees' into a false marketing campaign claiming to be "an FBI psychic medium investigator" who had "lectured at the FBI." This became her story, rather than simply speaking for a few minutes and answering some questions on the same afternoon, split between two trainee back-to-back lunch breaks. The UWG clearly never checked the facts. Her actual discussion was essentially that 'as a police psychic detective I am already on TV and real. Any questions?' She became a limited author extensively fronted by numerous ghost-writers, some who still remain unidentified in 2025, across 4 different global books and a mini pamphlet. By the mid 1980's she had left her work in lounges, playhouses, and her 'sleazy' nightclub attire far behind. Well, almost. (See her own comment in statement #23 below). But she has always remained first and foremost an actress marketing exaggerated tales. And outright lies.

Yet the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) which oversees the University of West Georgia remains silent. No corrections have been administered by the USG Executive Administrative Council nor personnel with USG Academic Affairs and Administrative Services. Nothing appears to be in a process of correction by any UWG or USG legal personnel to halt or revise UWG's dishonest statements and claims as noted on this site. It appears all risks and liabilities distributed about Noreen Renier from UWG websites are now fully transferred to the UWG and the USG without any publicly stated reservations. Not even a UWG or USG public disclaimer to cover the dismal research and dishonesty of the cited communications. Those remain posted under various UWG logos.

Renier's federal bankruptcy judge ruled she had misled the federal bankruptcy court, forcing Renier on her third court income filing to revise her income earnings upward by over 10 times even after her second filing. Even so, her major creditor showed further financial deceptions and the judge later ordered the sale of thousands of dollars in Renier's assets to pay her creditors. Deceptions after deceptions even while she stood in a federal court house. And bankruptcy issues were just one of her legal problems as a Washington U.S. District Court had also found that she had breached an earlier Florida State Court settlement agreement, ruling she owed a principal critic over $40,000.00. And even after that, after taking almost a year to twice appeal U.S. federal court judgments against her, she lost both of her appeals. Her legal costs became far greater than her income. All of which, across several years, are completely ignored in any UWG communications. Honest UWG coverage? No.

Using the minimum count tally of Noreen Renier's claimed PLE 'case work' totals, as of July 1, 2023 -- near Renier's "retirement" from case work -- Global Net Research investigators believe that conservatively 1,036 (99.7% to 100%) among her claimed total PLE 'cases worked' are in fact bogus and never existed, and/or are completely autonomous from authentic PLE cases she was never sanctioned or authorized to work, and therefore was never hired or "worked" according to any known PLE agency. If she accurately claimed even 1 to 5 PLE sanctioned cases given to her to work, they would likely be from small townships where that particular office closed and no records were transferred to other PLE cross referencing networks. That would be unusual as even smaller PLE offices would have PLE 'Chain of Custody' (CoC) documentation for the handling of their files and any acquired evidence. Beyond even the slim possibility of five or more such cases being claimed by Renier, all investigators contacted suspect such cases would be found delusional, exaggerated, or improperly recorded.

So why is the University of West Georgia pushing dishonest academic claims while promoting a woman that one writer called a fraud and charlatan in court as early as 1986? Since 1994 Renier has been handed over 120 pages of court judgment rulings against her from multiple U.S. state and federal courts. Class action litigation against U.S. institutions who have distributed public communications incorporating dishonest claims about Noreen Renier and others, may now advance. The University of West Georgia, having now distributed such false communications for years, has uniquely expanded its 2025 liabilities beyond the safeguard limits of other U.S. public institutions. Shockingly well beyond a publicly funded academic center. Is the UWG involvement part of a staff or donor financial hustle for kick-backs from outside paranormal support groups or alumni? Below, further concerns for the University of West Georgia and its related USG state public educational hierarchy are noted. And even more uncovered UWG published deceptions.
