During the winter of 2025-2026, the University of West Georgia (UWG) Mission and Values standards continue to sink as non-UWG researchers report the UWG is knowingly issuing public website falsehoods. Parents with missing, stolen, or murdered children and looking for help finding their children are being directed by UWG and University System of Georgia (USG) websites to bogus paranormal claims, and an elderly career actress who claims to be a "super psychic".

The UWG is also distributing a public website summary stating it holds material on FBI cases "worked on for the FBI" by this "psychic". However, its UWG MS-0083 PSI 'Special Collection' has never held such materials of FBI cases sanctioned by the FBI to be worked by this multidecade career actress.

In fact materials of sanctioned FBI cases worked on "for" the FBI by this woman have never existed. Additionally, this UWG cited female "psychic" was previously discredited by a U.S. federal judge as 'not credible' in a 2011 ruling against her, and four additional federal judges during her appeals backed that original ruling. Excerpts of those rulings are shown below.

The current UWG and University System of Georgia (USG) 'PSI Special Collection' public websites fail to mention these disturbing federal court rulings, credibility concerns, or any of the other county, state, and federal court rulings from 1994 through 2022 against this professional actress and UWG cited "psychic".

Instead UWG and USG websites have only mentioned one small Oregon county court with just six jurors which found 'skeptic writer' John Merrell at fault in a libel case brought by this same actress while living in Phoenix Oregon, a town with 4383 residents in 1985.

Merrell, then a member of the National Council Against Health Fraud, stated in court that this 'psychic actress' was a fraud and charlatan who was making false 'powers of healing' claims. He also testified that she lied that her psychic powers had been "instrumental" in finding a crashed airplane with still alive and injured persons.

While he was initially unsuccessful, he conclusively proved after locating four eye-witnesses 19 years later that his testimony had been correct. Two of those witnesses discovered the crashed plane themselves, and the other two were eye-witnesses to its crash. The four crashed passengers had not survived, but instead had "died on impact" per the medical examiner at the scene.

Merrell, who worked for Boeing for 10 years was also found by all area law enforcement agencies as being accurate in his crash findings, while the current UWG cited "psychic" was shown as having repeatedly deceived court jurors with dozens of misleading fictional events in her testimony.

That incident is outlined in four parts on this website with no advertising, and at no charge.

Yet neither the UWG or USG public websites have ever mentioned that Merrell moved litigation later against this same 'psychic actress' to a far higher level U.S. District Court in Seattle and then to additional federal courtrooms across Virginia and also a New York state court. Over the past 32 years he has won every state and federal court ruling in cases against this self-described "super psychic", including judgements against her by six U.S. federal judges.

That legal record includes the U.S. District Court in Seattle ruling that this same woman owed Merrell a legal reimbursement, which resulted in an amount 60% greater than the much smaller damage fees she was awarded against Merrell in the tiny Oregon county court years before. However none of this more complete and balanced information has ever been noted by the UWG or USG.

UWG and USG website readers were only told by the UWG that their cited "psychic" won court damages against 'skeptic' Merrell in court. Amazingly the UWG drove that concept by citing that in "the legal case Noreen Renier vs John Douglas Merrell" that Renier "won" and UWG repeated it over three dozen times across its websites. Renier's small town or the name of the county court and its location 272 miles south of Portland, Oregon were never mentioned. Or anything about the continuing litigation across the next 7 courtrooms.

Fair and balanced UWG academic research and public communications? No. UWG's incomplete and use of over three dozen websites showcasing Merrell as a loser made a mockery of what had transpired, and the measures Merrell made to correct the facts.

Today this same career actress, is once again claiming psychic paranormal powers to communicate with dead and murdered children through her ghosts to locate where such dead children are. She is also claiming remarkable ESP powers including clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychometry, psychic vision beneath others apparel, and powers to levitate children. Those claims have never been cited as actually confirmed fiction in any UWG or USG communications.

Not even mentioned on UWG / USG website profiles of this 'super psychic' as false.

However, Global Net Research investigators found those claims have "zero accredited institutional document support" during checks in 2006, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, and yearly from 2014 through October of 2025. One independent researcher wrote "She must laugh at the ludicrous powers she claims knowing the UWG may just gobble them up and send them out."

And how that occurs is what this website page will now lay out.

The typical fee charged by this UWG cited "psychic" for her communications with dead children? A flat $1000.00 paid upfront by only cash or check. And that quickly gets used up at about a $30 per minute rate, allowing for just over 30 minutes to hear her speak for both herself and her spirit ghosts. Sometimes while her fee charge is the same, her ghost conversations get cut back when her ghosts are "restless", and apparently when clients voice skepticism about what they are hearing. That's according to parents who have paid her base $1000.00 fee and never had her spirit ghosts locate their missing or dead children. In fact, the percentage of her 'ghost failings' to find missing, kidnapped, or murdered children appears to be frozen for over 50 years at a 100% failure rate.

Indeed, this UWG and USG widely promoted 'psychic medium' has never led official PLE officers directly to a missing or dead child. Nor has any Public Law Enforcement (PLE) agency stated her discussions with her ghosts resulted in an official PLE missing or murdered child case being solved.

Or any PLE missing person case of any age.

The name of this female 'psychic medium' cited repeatedly by the UWG, and noted in its UWG and University System of Georgia (USG) PSI Special Collection MS-0083 is Noreen Renier. She has represented herself as a young girl into her mid teens as Noreen Uzdavinis (her family name); and then after her teenage marriage as Noreen Klinko. This was followed upon her second marriage in becoming Noreen Renier, and after her second divorce she also played a brief deceptive charade by writing to paranormal researchers pretending to be another woman named Nancy Uzdavinis. Some investigators believe she may have used additional names during business banking and financial transactions.

Global Net Research investigators have also never found any newspaper, or mass media reports with any PLE documentation which claim missing or dead children were found by Renier's ghosts after talking to missing or dead children.

You book Renier, you automatically are booking her spirit ghosts. Her own radio and TV descriptions of her "more than hundreds" of alleged Public Law Enforcement cases are never without her claims of contacting the dead through her ghosts.

But not even a single PLE missing child has been found from either of her two alleged spirit ghosts, which we cover more on this page. Readers of this website can listen or read transcripts of official recordings made by the Halifax (Nova Scotia) Regional Police. They recorded their interview with Noreen Renier which we reference with links below in Statement #2 below on this page. It will quickly allow you to understand why Noreen Renier is not credible in locating missing, kidnapped, or murdered children. With or without her ghosts.

Yet, at present, more than 3 dozen official UWG and USG public websites are now devoted exclusively to Noreen Renier, alongside many other paranormal UWG and USG PSI Collection websites, each also filled with additional global paranormal characters UWG super-enhanced with amazing paranormal feats and abilities.

Though who has confirmed such feats or abilities is very vague indeed. Equally non-existent is any UWG or USG supporting evidence, actual accredited tests proving UWG's paranormal claims, the law enforcement agency names and officers names in charge of the cases, the dates and case numbers, and exactly how a psychic or ghost found the killer or kidnapper. Or cracked the case. Maybe the total lack of answers are because UWG and USG personnel simply don't ask questions.

They simply appear to "gobble up" the claims and send them out with little or no research.

In fact as we enter 2026 the UWG / USG PSI website credibility downward slides may have finally hit rock bottom.

An examination of several of their December 2025 website summary PSI Noreen Renier MS-0083 'Special Collection pages again falsely state Noreen Renier has worked for the FBI on FBI unidentified cases, and with hundreds of other unidentified Public Law Enforcement (PLE) agencies on hundreds of unidentified PLE cases.

Thus, even Noreen Renier who was discredited in courts, and by FBI officers in testimony, has become UWG enhanced once again as a "psychic" working for the FBI, on FBI cases, and also with hundreds of other PLE agencies.

A reasonable person should now consider such UWG and USG communications actually less credible than a Dickens Christmas story, or relying on Superman's X-ray vision to find criminals. Because the UWG and USG PSI websites present their fictional tales as fact and without disclaimers.

As a 'super psychic FBI case investigator actress' Noreen Renier has never demonstrated any clairvoyance or psychokinesis powers at any global accredited academic center, or accredited parapsychology testing center with public documentation.

It appears current UWG and USG PSI personnel who manage and write their PSI Special Collection public website communication summaries have in recent years simply ignored anything critical in covering their extensive website profiles of persons who claim to contact the dead and/or transfer thoughts from and to both the living and the dead.

John Merrell publicly stated that even after he showed false academic credential concerns published by Noreen Renier to senior UWG personnel, no one seemed concerned. Merrell (identified as 'Sherlock') posted on the International Skeptics Forum website, on September 29, 2025, under General Skepticism and the Paranormal, the following statement concerning the University of West Georgia: "Honesty is clearly not what the UWG's PSI / parapsychology website communication summary statements within their MS-0083 Noreen Renier collection has ever been about. UWG officials have been showcased what they are issuing as false, shown the evidence, and yet as I've noted previously, they just don't seem in any way to actually give a damn."

In contrast, the most professional and repeated scientific testing at Southern Oregon State College actually displayed only repeated catastrophic failures from Noreen Renier. (Click to see Finding #22 at https://www.globalnetresearch.com/findings.html ).

And several of those managing those tests contacted Merrell directly with documentation about how the tests were developed, the testing conditions, and Noreen Renier's failures. Not too surprisingly the UWG has never publicly acknowledged or commented on this extensive and contrary Southern Oregon State College testing even though Noreen Renier's dramatic testing failures at Oregon State College have been noted in depth publicly for 23 years, and on this website since 2011. And not even a single documented and published contrary UWG or USG test seems to exist.

Yet amazingly in late 2025 a UWG public website provides strong innuendos that Noreen Renier has psychic powers which could pick up murder evidence or an item belonging to a missing or murdered child and by simply touching the object to learn information about the place, time, and circumstances of their disappearance. But her substantial testing failures at Oregon State College have sunk such UWG credulous claims.

The present UWG and USG public website materials presented seem to be supported from alleged talking spirit ghosts, the use of swinging psychic pendulums, and psychic medium one-way séance recordings. These as a factual basis to support public academic institutional paranormal claims are per multiple researchers "dangerous practices" with high liabilities, particularly when parents of missing and murdered children depend on public academic institutions to cite realities to locate missing children and resolve crimes.

Global Net Research cites here two current UWG false and deceptive UWG website statement examples found among the dozens of websites and pages in UWG's PSI Special Collection #MS-0083 covering Noreen Renier. The first example can be found by clicking https://aspace-uwg.galileo.usg.edu/repositories/2/resources/266.html which states "Born in 1936, Noreen Renier is a Florida-based psychic. She has worked with law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on approximately six hundred unsolved cases.” Noreen Renier is actually a radio and TV actress who has over decades falsely claimed she works FBI cases as an "FBI medium investigator". Of great concern is that even after UWG senior officials and staff in early and late 2023 were pointed to prior court transcripts and testimony from FBI officers and the actress herself, that showed Renier never worked on cases for the FBI, and never worked for the FBI, the UWG continues to distribute false claims to the contrary on official UWG websites. More information on that point and federal court rulings against Renier are extensively covered below. A second false UWG claim is shown at https://aspace-uwg.galileo.usg.edu/repositories/2/resources/266/collection_organization#tree::archival_object_60531 which states that the UWG #MS-0083 Noreen Renier Special Collection “includes material on cases that Renier worked on for the FBI." Neither of these two examples are true. And again, the UWG has known for years both UWG statements have been cited as deceptive and false.

What evidence have Global Net Research investigators found that shows both of these UWG statements in the links above are false, and knowingly false by the UWG? Compounding the UWG claims as false is court 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 Ressler's senior officer, FBI Chief Roger Depue, also testified that Renier never did FBI case work. Ever.

And to confirm that the UWG has previously known about this court testimony -- printed in court transcripts years before the UWG began publishing their false claims, researchers confirmed that the UWG actually holds the same transcripts from the very court that includes the same testimony from FBI officers Ressler and Depue! The UWG since 2019 has had full access to these court transcripts from the Jackson County Court in Oregon that were provided to Noreen Renier after that court case closed. The same court transcripts were part of her materials reviewed by UWG Professor Blynne Olivieri Parker, who selected the transcripts and matching court materials that were sent to the University of West Georgia for permanent retention, and remain in the UWG Ingram library on campus.

And this testimony and transcribed court depositions taken from FBI officers Robert Ressler and Robert Depue clearly show the present and contrary UWG statements are false.

The UWG has not corrected its false summary statements on its December 2025 websites and instead continues to ignore the contrary court testimony the UWG holds within its Irvine Sullivan Ingram Library. There are no other validated and true materials in the UWG Noreen Renier MS-0083 Collection, nor in any other materials found by researchers or investigators as ever existing including through late 2025 research checks that invalidate the testimony by FBI officers Ressler and Depue.

There are also no known statements, including in testimony, that match any that could have been taken from statements documented from Noreen Renier herself.

Based on these revelations Global Net Research investigators suspect both UWG and USG summary websites claiming Noreen Renier "has worked with law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, on approximately six hundred unsolved cases" were published as also knowingly false, and never existed for UWG personnel to actually examine. Several investigators now suspect the UWG doesn't know, and would be incapable of discerning which cases among its estimate of 600 PLE and FBI cases worked by Renier are actually real.

Additonally it appears among the estimated 600 PLE and FBI cases cited by the UWG and USG the UWG and USG may lack any ability to confirm how their case number 126 differs from their case number 523. Or if their case number 312 concerns a stray cat, and their case number 444 concerns a missing child. There are now serious concerns that the estimated 600 UWG claimed FBI and PLE cases worked by Noreen Renier "for" the FBI and hundreds of PLE agencies, are not credible in number and only exist as delusionary or fictional UWG / USG public postings. And lacking any UWG or USG cautionary notices or disclaimers.

If the UWG / USG public websites are fictional, there are serious legal and ethical issues for what the UWG and USG has presented to likely thousands of families with missing or murdered family members.

And after more than six years, if the UWG / USG public website postings have portrayed non-existing and fictional PLE and FBI cases, it may be time that the Georgia Office of the Attorney General is alerted to discuss why the University of West Georgia has refused to correct its PSI MS-0083 Collection summary statements.

Neither Renier, the Rhine Research Center, nor UWG have ever held any PLE 'Chain of Custody' (CoC) chronology logs showing Renier 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, like the Rhine Research Center, the UWG showcases absolutely nothing to back now its own public communications that the UWG holds material on cases that Renier worked for the FBI.

No UWG 'checked-out' or missing materials, and no FBI 'Chain of Custody' (CoC) chronology case materials crossed tied to either the Rhine Research Center, UWG, or Noreen Renier. Nothing now but apparent UWG make believe tales created and distributed by the UWG itself.

One interesting fact is that both Noreen Renier and UWG's Professor Christine Simmonds-Moore were associated with the private Rhine Research Center in Durham, North Carolina. The Rhine Psychical Research Center did not, and can not offer accredited academic degrees, but for some it provided complementary assistance or pay to help protect and promote its paranormal collections.

And before mid 2023 when paranormal critic John Merrell contacted the UWG about many of the concerns on this site, the Rhine Research Center senior executives removed from Rhine websites all references to John Merrell, under threat of defamation and slander litigation. The UWG also removed over 3 dozen references to Merrell across its websites after Merrell voiced similar concerns as he had previously with the Rhine Research Center websites written by Rhine Research Center staff. However, while the Rhine Research Center removed all its website references similar to the two statements cited above, the UWG has not. It is not known whether Christine Simmonds-Moore is a ghost writer behind one or more of the Noreen Renier's U.S. and European books still selling from multiple publishers. The ties and overlaps between Noreen Renier and Simmonds-Moore at both the Rhine Psychical Research Center and the UWG however involve many of the same concerns Merrell voiced to executives at the Rhine Research Center, and later to UWG faculty and staff.

According to Merrell, the present failure by UWG not to remove their current false website summaries in UWG's MS-0083 PSI Collection may be in response to some internal staff frustrations after the Rhine Research Center removed their Merrell postings, and then the UWG did the same. Merrell noted in 2023 that "in suddenly having to remove my name on their websites --- some 5 dozen references between the two centers --- my name removal also likely dropped search engines prompting Rhine and UWG website visits."

For some paranormal proponents the names John Merrell, Dr. Gary Posner, M.D., James Randi, and Joe Nickell have been strong targets to attempt to discredit. Yet paranormal believers have also referenced those names to incite pro-paranormal website viewership.

Merrell in late 2025 stated "It's even possible both the previously written and published concerns referencing me by the Rhine Research Center, and those which were thereafter published and distributed by the University of West Georgia originated from the same writer or writers. It would explain a great deal." It's clear the UWG is no longer cooperating in removing the PSI Collection summary statements Merrell labels as false.

Here, GNR unlike the UWG, also provides supporting materials showing some related UWG statements are false below, including from U.S. federal judges in court rulings against Noreen Renier; numerous quoted comments from law enforcement officers; as well as statements from witnesses, researchers, and investigators.

The UWG public PSI academic summary Noreen Renier website communications raise significant concerns of UWG communication distortions, heavy paranormal and pseudoscience bias, undisclosed cross ties between relevant parties, sinking academic integrity standards, and truly atrocious UWG research failings.

These all seem to be signs that some academic and research public communication standards inside the University System of Georgia are imploding with little or no UWG self-oversight. And imploding may be an understatement.

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 these false statements. Incredibly the University System of Georgia and its Executive Administrative Council, and the Academic Affairs and Administrative Services personnel who manage the university's operations, colleges, and programs have apparently failed or ignored widely published and voiced concerns from many academic and private personnel. This website also includes many of those comments in quotes.

January 16, 2026 marks the day that Noreen Renier may be either 89 or 90 years old. Previously, in January 2025, UWG websites stated Renier as 89 years old and born in 1936, while the U.S. state of Florida Department of Motor Vehicles showed Noreen Renier as 88 years old and born in 1937. This is 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.

Fees charged by Noreen Renier to parents of lost and missing children on her own website have remained for over a decade at typically $1000 per short phone sessions which equate to $20 to $40 a minute charges to access her 'super psychic powers' to ---she claims--- talk with missing, dead, and murdered children.

But first, a brief additional note about the UWG estimate that Noreen Renier has worked "on approximately six hundred unsolved cases.” For over six years neither the UWG or USG have publicly showed any materials they hold or reference to untangle how UWG personnel came up with their 600 or so Public Law Enforcement (PLE) cases. Because the UWG / USG, nor anyone else, can find any confirmation that such PLE sanctioned cases worked by Renier and documented exist. This is a major credibility issue for the UWG / USG as they themselves came up with about 600 cases and haven't changed it since making the claim in mid 2019.

Their estimate is a combined PLE and FBI case count worked for the FBI and other PLE agencies by Noreen Renier at near 600. This was in 2019 an incredibly large UWG estimate. There were no other combined PLE and FBI case counts by media, researchers, or other accredited academic centers that high for officially sanctioned PLE and FBI cases worked by Noreen Renier in 2019. Indeed, even in the closing days of 2025, the UWG estimate of 600 sanctioned FBI and PLE cases worked by Renier remains absolutely unique among accredited academic centers worldwide. Many researchers simply report her lack of credibility as noted in federal court rulings eliminates believing any Noreen Renier PLE case count claims.

In 2019 even sensationalized supermarket tabloid writers and stringers for the National Enquirer, the National Examiner, and FATE magazine were only guessing from 50 to a few hundred sanctioned PLE cases might have been worked by Renier.

A principal critic against actress Noreen Renier from 1985 thru 2025, John Merrell, publicly estimated in 2007 and again in 2012, 2017, 2019, and in 2022 that her officially sanctioned PLE cases actually worked were "likely less than a dozen if not actually zero" after Renier refused to name even ten such PLE agencies during litigation.

Across the last four decades even among many North American, European, Asian, and Australian PLE agencies and case locations cited by Noreen Renier and her paranormal colleagues, none reported that Noreen Renier was PLE hired and sanctioned to handle and examine all agency PLE evidence.

Renier herself reluctantly testified about her PLE and FBI work claims, admitting that she actually has no dated or numbered 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.

However its important to read the UWG statements because they are written as if their statements are real, and there are no UWG disclaimers otherwise.

Parents with missing, murdered, or kidnapped children are desperate for information to help them locate their children. But current UWG website presentations being made are anything but accurate forensic tools with proper procedures, and have proved far from accurate or helpful. The UWG and USG Noreen Renier websites hide behind a facade of providing responsible academic research and scientific steps before drawing conclusions. Instead they simply toss out nonsense, deceptions, and public communications turmoil.

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 PSI public communications. Not surprisingly, Noreen Renier has been unable to show any evidence in courts of her claimed "more than hundreds" of PLE agency hirings or show PLE payment stubs or tax filing confirmations. Across the last 25 years her website posted fees for PLE agency work were typically $1000, which was often the same fee she charged for private missing person sessions averaging 25 to 40 minutes. Her posted fees charged on her website for law enforcement agencies or to families with missing children have never been shown, or reported as offered for free.

Just how many University of West Georgia faculty, staff, and possibly students who wrote and encoded UWG PSI Special Collection website subject summaries are responsible for distorting the realities about Noreen Renier case work and claims?

Renier critic John Merrell was more blunt. He stated in 2020 that the UWG PSI Special Collection pushes "dangerous" fiction and promotes a psychic actress found by a federal court as "not credible" yet charging $30 a minute to allegedly talk to dead children. In early 2025 Merrell noted that the UWG websites covering Noreen Renier are just a tiny portion among other questionable psychics, mediums, and paranormal characters --- including younger and active characters in Europe and worldwide.

Presently all UWG and USG PSI Special Collection file summaries and profiles of both active and historical paranormal authors and artists fail to provide any UWG / USG warning disclaimers stating the file materials may include fictional statements not representing true or accurate statements, including paranormal and pseudoscience claims not supported by leading accredited academic institutions using science based procedures.

Apparently several UWG faculty and staff have in recent years spent signficant funds and considerable time traveling and securing items and stories from paranormal and mystical authors.

Contrary scientific journal writers covering delusional paranormal afterlife claims; and disturbing interactions by Public Law Enforcement agencies with self-described psychic mediums and their exaggerated claims; and PLE agencies noting the dismal accuracy of psychic mediums issuing communications from deceased children to their parents have apparently not been solicited or published by the UWG for decades. In recent years clearly some UWG personnel have themselves or with others written, composed, encoded, communicated, and distributed false claims which can be found within UWG website subject summaries.

Some of these current UWG false published statements also were duplicated by some independently administered Scientology paranormal discussion websites. On September 24, 2025 those replications of false UWG claims were appropriately removed on the Scientology related discussion websites, though the original false UWG claims remain posted on official UWG websites after repeated bi-monthly checks. We thank those managing the non-UWG websites, which are also independent from the Church of Scientology, for removing them from their own websites.

UWG PSI paranormal Noreen Renier Special Collections false website summaries however remain unchanged, and are now being picked up by global search engines and propagated by AI response centers, particularly websites designed to 'hit and carry' statements for rapid propagation and dispersal. The UWG PSI Special Collection websites are estimated to have created over 56 million UWG website 'transfer re-routes' including likely thousands of 'hits' from many global families with murdered and missing children since being published in 2019.

So why is the UWG so heavily involved with such paranormal promotional activities, and in recent years seemed to cover-up and/or obfuscate the concerns and items non-UWG researchers have uncovered within the vast UWG and USG PSI Special Collection websites?

Another current UWG / USG website notes that UWG Professor Blynne Olivieri Parker, who in March 2025 also became 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 in written email correspondence and/or certified U.S. postal mail over two years ago by John Merrell, (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 there are valid concerns of reckless PSI paranormal misrepresentations involving law enforcement agencies across UWG and USG public website summaries and on their Special 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?

Noreen Renier herself testfied that her Public Law Enforcement (PLE) cases she has worked were already "more than hundreds" in 1986. At her posted $1000 fee rate to PLE agencies now across decades, for each of her 1000 PLE cases she would net about $1 million. On this website is a recording of Renier claiming from all the cases she works, both PLE and private cases, 70% are with public law enforcement agencies. She has also spoken of working "thousands" of total cases.

If through her "retirement" in 2023 she worked on a total of 3000 to 5000 including every type of case across 40 years, and 70% of these (her low figure) were with law enforcement agencies, then at least 2800 cases were worked for and with law enforcement agencies.

The average time per case including setting up her phone and cassette recorder, sipping beforehand an alcoholic drink or two as she claims, and preparing her psychic ghost entities and crystal pendulums might average a total of 3 hours per case. During those 3 hours of set-up typically just 20 to 40 minutes were spent actually talking by phone with her clients and/or with her claimed medium enhanced ghost entities, based on some client feedback reports.

Based on such estimates actress Noreen Renier could easily achieve more than a hundred cases by phone per month, or across an entire year need only about 25 total case working hours per month resulting in $15,000 to about $22,500 in average income per month.

That estimate is based on her $20 to $30 per minute typical fees charged from 1998 to 2024 for her missing children contact and/or PLE murder case rate. That could represent near a minimum of $2.8 million in payments across 40 years for just 100 PLE cases per year, minus a few thousand dollars in phone charges as her last publicly documented case other than by phone is now decades old. Of course you also might need to add another estimated $1.6 to $2.2 million income over 40 years from private (non PLE psychic and medium clients), and fees Renier obtains from private and public lectures, plus Renier's book royalties.

That could result in a total estimated average yearly income for Renier (she claimed in court filings no business staff), of well beyond $100,000.00 per year, even if she paid out another 20% to 'helpers'.

There are of course many spinning parts and claims. How many of her PLE claims are delusional or simply charades? Or just UWG created fictional representations without documents? Even the judge in her most recent bankruptcy filings stated she misled his court with income filings that rose more than 10 times even after her second set of bankruptcy filings for the court. Plus of course her failure to report a major hidden bank account which showed far more than $100,000.00 in deposits.

Did some UWG students, including student web script and software writers provide assistance to UWG staff personnel and receive academic credits instead of money for doing so? Or was the writing and encoding shown on UWG PSI website subject summaries done entirely by UWG faculty and staff?

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.

The 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. During litigation brought by John Merrell, U.S. federal court subpoenas provided to the federal bankruptcy Court Trustee stated 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 account used by Renier who initially claimed to the bankruptcy court that her total income the year before was just $6371.00? Then where and to whom did the funds in the hidden account go to? Renier never provided an answer.

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 (under her names Noreen Uzdavinis and Noreen Klinko) 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. 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.

Following her second divorce, and after changing her title from actress 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."

Her actual luncheon lecture 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, 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 as the calendar moves to 2026. 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 both UWG and USG logos.

Renier's federal bankruptcy judge ruled she had misled the federal bankruptcy court, forcing Renier on her third bankruptcy court income filing to revise her income earnings upward by over 10 times even after her second filing. Even so, her major creditor, John Merrell, showed further financial deceptions and the judge in response 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 Merrell, over $40,000.00. And even after that, after taking almost two years to twice appeal U.S. federal court judgments against her brought by Merrell, she lost both of her appeals.

Her legal costs became increasingly higher as Merrell uncovered further deceptions. All of which, across several years, are completely ignored in any UWG communications. Honest UWG / USG academic research and public website coverage in profiling Noreen Renier? 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 more recent 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 actress Renier, all investigators contacted suspect such cases would be found delusional, exaggerated, or improperly recorded.

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? Global Net Research will continue to monitor public and legal concerns until both the UWG personnel involved, and senior officials at both the UWG and USG issue public corrections and also credible public apologies as to why these issues occurred.

There are parties who are now weighing whether the UWG and USG require a full public reveal to encourage the UWG and USG to publicly showcase new enforcement of corrective standards and policies so false communications will not be repeated.

Meanwhile, further fraud concerns ignored by the University of West Georgia and its related USG state public educational hierarchy are noted below. Also below are dozens of identified personnel in Europe and throughout the world citing significant Noreen Renier public deceptions and/or delusions.
