Noreen Renier, who lived in Florida for many years |
The following items on Renier are by Gary P. Posner:
This 25-page chapter covers Renier's career through 1993, including her predictions regarding the assassinations of Ronald Reagan and Anwar Sadat, her Joan Rivers Show reading on New York's "Zodiac" killer, her role in allegedly locating a missing airplane (a claim endorsed by an FBI agent), her libel suit against skeptic John Merrell, and much more.

View the 1998 attack upon me by a character
named Peter Duffie -- This venomous and irrational attack was originally posted on
Duffie's "Psyzone" web pages, which are no longer posted but which can still be seen
here
(archived, with some funky punctuation characters and missing the graphics). When Duffie's site was abandoned in late 2000
or early 2001, these pages were moved to Renier's site, first
here
(on her old atlantic.net site -- again, these are old/archived pages absent the graphics), and later
here
on her newer noreenrenier.com site (from which these pages were removed in June 2006, I suspect at the
recommendation of her attorney, though as you can see they are still available, archived and sans graphics).
Before deciding to host Duffie's attack, Renier had insisted to me that "Mr. Duffie is not an associate of mine,
nor do I have an association with his site," although that obviously changed somewhere along the way.
