Meet Psychic Medium to the Stars Janet Russell Oct. 21

Janet Russell, the psychic who helped find Katie Beers, will hold an exclusive group session at the Fair Media Council’s Connection Day conference on Oct. 21 at Briarcliffe College, Bethpage, N.Y.

Janet Russell has appeared on many television shows, including A&E’s Paranormal State, Haunted New York with Emily Frances, which was nominated for an Emmy, as well as Psychic to the Stars on PIX 11. She has been doing psychic readings for the past 40 years and hosts her own show on cable.

She worked with police investigators on such cases as the infamous Katie Beers kidnapping, a case where a nine year old girl was miraculously found alive 17 days later. Russell had been the only psychic to say that Katie was chained by the neck, and she was able to describe the area where Katie was being held.

Russell has also worked with the New York Police Department on several murder cases during her career. As a medium, Russell notes that many people experience closure after one of her sessions.

“Janet’s career and abilities bring a special dimension to our Connection Day programming,” said Jaci Clement, CEO of the Fair Media Council. “At a conference is devoted to communication and connecting, what better way to close out the day than with a chance to find out what the future holds?”

The Fair Media Council’s Connection Day is the largest conference in the country to bring the media and community together for a day of open dialogue, mutual understanding, relationship building and story pitching.

A variety of breakout sessions are offered throughout the day. The luncheon featured speaker is Bill Keller who, as editor in chief of The Marshall Project, is leading the national conversation on the state of criminal justice in America today. Prior to The Marshall Project, Keller was executive editor of The New York Times.

Major sponsors of the event include Northwell Health, Briarcliffe College, Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council, Farmingdale State College, Suez Water, Long Island Development Corp/Long Island Small Business Assistance Corp. and Alure Home Improvements.

FMC Connection Day takes place from 7.30 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21, 2016 at Briarcliffe College, Bethpage, N.Y. Parking is plentiful.
