Episode 252 - Seven Days in the Desert: A Psychic, a Mine Shaft, and a Missing Dog with Eric and Laurie Kirkland

In this unforgettable episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Laurie and Eric Kirkland to share a story that feels almost cinematic in its intensity — and yet, every word is true.

Forty years ago, while camping in the Calico Mountains, Laurie and Eric's beloved dog Jesse vanished without a trace. What followed was a week of heartbreak, relentless searching, radio ads, flyers, and a 500 dollar reward.

And then… a psychic entered the story.

What she revealed would guide them to a shocking discovery — including a mysterious collapsed mine shaft, a "big green rock," and a desperate race against time.

Seven days after disappearing in open desert surrounded by coyotes, Jesse was found alive.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ The emotional toll of losing a beloved animal
✨ Why they decided to call a dog psychic
✨ The details she described that proved eerily accurate
✨ The moment she screamed, "He's out!"
✨ The meaning of intuition and unseen guidance
✨ How this experience shifted their view of psychic ability
✨ Eric's later experience with medium John Edward
✨ Signs from loved ones in spirit

This conversation is about devotion, persistence, and the mysterious ways hope sometimes answers back.

Sometimes faith looks like searching one more canyon.
