Tina Penix has been searching for her daughter 27-year-old Nicole Penix Vanzant since she disappeared in January, with search and rescue crews taking to the water and Vanzant's own father combing through the woods.

But now, desperate for any information that may bring answers, the family is turning to what they even admit is a long shot and asking a psychic for help.

Ericka Boussarhane is one of two psychics Penix has contacted.

Boussarhane says she's given the Penix family several clues about their daughter's disappearance, including where she believes Nicole's body is buried.

Police are still calling this a missing persons case, not a criminal investigation.

Detectives tell 27 Newsfirst it's not uncommon for families to turn to psychics for help and Boussarhane says she's only trying to help the family, and her services are at no charge.
