Even prior to the recent 2006 and 2007 federal court rulings won by critic John Merrell against Noreen Renier, Gary P. Posner, M.D., founder of the Tampa Bay Skeptics also extensively and critically examined former Florida resident Noreen Renier.

Recently Posner updated his "Noreen Renier" page which contains a must-see link to his comments about Renier's revisions in her book A Mind For Murder.

Posner's web site material is extensive and offers critical examinations of claims and cases not covered here.   The 30-second video clip (left) reflects his thoughts while examining claims.

Prior to the U.S. District judge ordering Noreen Renier to pay Merrell nearly $40,000 in April 2007 and her second Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing in August 2007, Gary Posner authored a chapter in the 1994 book Psychic Sleuths titled The Media's Rising Star Psychic Sleuth: Noreen Renier .   That chapter also provides some well documented historical background on the original battle between Merrell and Renier as outlined in the 2005 edition of A Mind For Murder.

Despite Renier's allegations against Posner on page 219 of the first versions of her 2005 book A Mind For Murder, Dr. Posner's paranormal investigative work is highly credible and has received widespread support from science personnel, educational specialists, and international journalists.

Tampa Bay Skeptics is a non-profit organization and special interest group of the Center For Inquiry Tampa Bay .

[Along with more than 50 references about John Merrell --- including multiple false statements --- all references to Gary Posner likewise disappeared in the 2008 edition of Renier's A Mind For Murder.   Renier evidently believes retracting her allegations against Merrell and Posner and ignoring relevant criticism is preferred to examining the facts.]

John Merrell and Gary Posner have known one another for more than 20 years although residents of opposite coast lines.   They remain key examiners of pseudo science claims.
