HEYBURN STATE PARK - Jacque Grider took daily walks despite dementia. She traveled the same route at Heyburn State Park to ensure a safe return.

"It was June 1 when she went for a walk and never came back," Buzz Grider, her stepson, said Tuesday from Bakersfield, Calif. "It's like aliens abducted her or something. There's no clues."

Jacque Grider was wearing a hat, T-shirt and shorts when she was last seen. Searchers from the Benewah County Sheriff's Office and other agencies poured into the park for several days of searching but came up empty. Gone without a trace.

A call to the sheriff's office Tuesday wasn't returned.

"We're just kind of at a loss," said Buzz Grider. "What can you do?"

Enter Carmen Murray, an 82-year-old psychic detective from Spokane Valley.

A close family friend of the Griders, Roberta "Bobbi" Doupe, owner of Bobbi's Bar in Plummer, put the family in touch with Murray.

"I was told that she never misses," J.T. Grider, Jacque Grider's husband, said Tuesday from their place at Heyburn. Their home is in Bakersfield.

Buzz Grider said that Murray has a "good track record."

The two men figured it couldn't hurt anything to work with a psychic.

"I saw her," Murray said Tuesday. "She's scared, she's terribly, terribly afraid."

But she doesn't know Jacque Grider's whereabouts, and believes she is probably now dead. There is no evidence of that.

The dementia has complicated Murray's ability to "connect" with her and gather information.

"When people don't know where they are they can't tell you anything," Murray said.

Murray believes Grider, 69, got disoriented and was abducted, despite the fact there is no evidence to support that theory.

Grider took her walks from her and J.T.'s place on the 100 block of Chatcolet Center Road.

She always crossed the lake on the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bridge and then returned. It usually took her about an hour.

Sometimes she walked with others, but not the day she went missing.

For more than 20 years, J.T. and Jacque Grider have spent several months each year at their place in the park.

"She knows everybody here and everybody knows her," J.T. Grider, 79, said. "I didn't worry about her."

Murray has repeatedly interviewed J.T. Grider and used some of Jacque's personal belongings - such as her purse with her makeup and prescription medication - to try and connect with her.

Murray and Doupe also traveled Jacque Grider's walking route.

Murray said she has never had such a difficult case.

"I don't see anything else," Murray said.

Murray is not charging the Griders for her efforts.

"I'm going to find her," she said. "I don't care how long it takes."

J.T. Grider isn't giving up either.

"I'm not leaving this place until I find her," he said. "I won't go to California - I don't care if it's two years."
