Age: 26 years old
Height and Weight: 5'5, 125 pounds
Distinguishing Characteristics: Native American female. Brown hair, brown eyes. Virginia and her family are members of the Mi'kmaq Indian Nation. She has highcheekbones.

Details of Disappearance
Virginia was a patient at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine on April 24, 1993; she was taken there for treatment after allegedly being assaulted by her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger Noyes Jr., outside a tavern. They were her last known visitors in the hospital. Larry was arrested in connection with the incident, but the charges against him were dropped after Virginia's disappearance.

Virginia Pictou Noyes
Missing since: 1993

Town: Houlton


On 4-27-93, Virginia Pictou Noyes went to Bangor with her husband, Larry Noyes, and two other people. They all got extremely intoxicated and Larry assaulted Virginia. Larry was arrested for domestic assault and Virginia was taken to EMMC. She repeatedly told police that she needed to get home to her 5 children in Easton. Virginia left the hospital before her checkup was completed. Larry ultimately made bail and was released. We are reasonably sure she got a ride to the truck stop in Houlton as witnesses saw her using the telephone. She was last seen walking north through the parking lot of the truck stop.

Virginia Pictou-Noyes
Missing since: 1993 from Houlton
Age: 26
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Race: American Indian
Contact: State police

Hours before she went missing on April 27, 1993, Pictou-Noyes, her husband, Larry Noyes, and two other people went to a Bangor bar, where police say all four became extremely intoxicated. Police say Larry Noyes was arrested that night on a charge of domestic assault and that Pictou-Noyes was taken to a Bangor hospital. After repeatedly telling police she needed to get home to her five children, she left the hospital before her checkup was completed. Police are “reasonably sure” she got a ride to a truck stop in Houlton as witnesses say they saw her using the telephone. She last was seen walking north through the truck stop’s parking lot.

Psychic helps search for woman missing 20 years
Andrew Birden
8 September 2012

WALLAGRASS – A man who is a member of a social network called Psychic Crime Fighters joined a group on Saturday at a location in Wallagrass, Maine, to search for clues into the disappearance 20 years ago of Virginia Sue Pictou-Noyes.
IMG_7136_09_08_2012

OVER THERE - Psychic Fred Hamilton points in the direction he says people should be searching in order to find Virginia Pictou-Noyes' body. Hamilton was helping a group on Saturday to find the remains of a woman who disappeared 20 years ago. - Birden image

According to a Bangor Daily News article from January of this year, Pictou-Noyes disappeared on April 24, 1993. Her ex-husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother, Roger Noyes, Jr. allegedly beat her in an attack that occurred outside of a bar in Bangor. Noyes-Pictou went to Eastern Maine Medical Center for treatment, but left on April 24 and made her way to Houlton, where a witness last saw her.

Police charged her ex-husband with domestic assault, but the court dismissed the charges after Virgina disappeared.

A group of people, some with family and social connections to Pictou-Noyes and others who became interested in the case over the intervening 20 years, have been keeping the investigation alive through social media and a search for clues into her disappearance.
IMG_7133_09_08_2012

STILL SEARCHING - Virginia Pictou-Noyes' daughter, Lanae Denslow, was present during the search. - Birden image

Fred Hamilton of Waldoboro came to Wallagrass Stream on Saturday, September 8, to use his psychic powers of remote viewing to help a group of eleven people search an area of the stream for the body of Pictou-Noyes. The group included the missing woman’s youngest daughter, Lanae Denslow, 20-years-old of Presque Isle.

Hamilton says he had a four-hour dream last winter in which he observed “..these guys beating a woman.” He said the three men in his dream raped the woman. They then wrapped her in bed sheets before putting her into an Oldsmobile or Buick “beater”.

At a location along Wallagrass Stream, Hamilton paused in the narrative of his vision and pointed into the trees, “They buried her over there under a log.”
IMG_7126_09_08_2012

ON A QUEST - The people searching for Virginia have social and family bonds that have brought them together over the years since the women disappeared. - Birden image

He said that after burying the body, the men hid in a nearby barn for a couple of days, concealing themselves in the rafters of the barn if anyone came near.

“They laid low for three or four days.”

Hamilton posted the details of his dream to the website http://psychiccrimefighter.com.

Later, Jaime Owens, a daughter of Virginia's close friend, contacted Hamilton about the details of the dream, which seemed to match some of the events surrounding the woman’s disappearance.
IMG_7134_09_08_2012

DIGGING FOR CLUES - A mound near Wallagrass Stream caught the attention of the searchers, who dug through the soil in search of clues. A fluorescent light bulb hanging from a tree branch appeared to hold significance to the seekers, one of whom said it might be a sign that someone left to mark the location of the mound. - Birden image

On Saturday, the people searched Wallagrass Stream, showing Hamilton specific locations and objects that appeared significant to them. A group dug into a mound of soil, some peered into nearby barns and others picked through piles of trash that people had left on the side of the stream.

They were unable to find a body.

Lenae said her father once told her that her mother would return on her eighteenth birthday. She never appeared and Lenae has been looking for closure ever since.

She said, “I’ve been hoping that since I was 18.”

However, Hamilton was able to narrow the search area to a swath of trees that he said matched the perspective he had during his dream of surrounding buildings and terrain. He tied ribbons to trees to identify the spot.

Later, the searchers hope to bring a dog which trainers have taught to locate cadavers in order to identify the exact location where the alleged murderers buried her body. The searchers had planned for a trained dog named Quincy to be at the location Saturday, but he suffered a sudden illness and was undergoing surgery at a veterinarian’s office downstate.

Hamilton was performing the service for free, declining money even for the gas it took for him to drive to the St. John Valley.

Hamilton said, “I’m taking a talent, a natural ability, and applying it to the real world.”

Hamilton, who was once a commercial diver and currently manages a marina, said he has used his psychic powers to investigate 30 different cases since he became a psychic crime fighter. He said he posts descriptions of his remote viewings to the PCF website so that law enforcement officials can access the descriptions anonymously to aid in their investigations.

Hamilton said he has been psychic ever since a near-drowning incident when he was four.

The people searching for Virginia appeared sincere and focused. As the search progressed, they described connections and interconnections with the disappearance, the region they searched, and the people related to the circumstances surrounding the disappearance.

While it is unclear if the network of people searching for Virginia will ever find her, family friend Cindy Owens says there are people who know what happened, but they have yet to come forward.

In the meantime, the friends and family continue searching, using unconventional resources as well as more mundane tools, for closure to this mystery.

Psychic crime fighter joins search for woman missing two decades

Psychic Crime Fighter Fred Hamilton examines a clearing near Wallagrass stream which may hold the clues to the whereabouts of Virginia Sue Pictou-Noyes, who has been missing for close to two decades. Hamilton had dreamed of the site last year and on Saturday said the location perfectly matched what he had visualized. Buy Photo

Lanae Denslow, 20, was only 9 months old when her mother Virginia Sue Pictou-Noyes vanished after leaving a Bangor hospital in 1993. On Saturday, Denslow joined family and friends in searching a wooded area in Wallagrass which may hold the key to her mother's fate. The group was joined by Fred Hamilton, a member of Psychic Crime Fighters. Buy PhotoWALLAGRASS, Maine — Cindy Owens has worn out two pairs of shoes searching the woods of northern Maine since her friend Virginia Sue Pictou-Noyes went missing two decades ago after leaving a Bangor hospital.

On Saturday the search was joined by a southern Maine crime-fighting psychic who said a combination of dreams and sensations indicated the body of Pictou-Noyes, or clues to her disappearance, were along the banks of Wallagrass Stream.

In the early morning hours of April 24, 1993, Pictou-Noyes left Eastern Maine Medical Center, desperate to get back home to her five children in Easton, according to a Jan. 9 article in the Bangor Daily News

A 26-year-old wife and mother, Pictou-Noyes had been taken to EMMC after being beaten outside a Bangor bar, allegedly by her husband, Larry Noyes, and his brother Roger Noyes Jr., according to a police report.

Maine State Police detectives believe she made it as far north as Houlton, where she reportedly made phone calls trying to get a ride home, according to the agency’s Web page on missing people.

She has not been seen nor heard from since.

Larry Noyes was charged with domestic assault and taken to Penobscot County Jail. Roger Noyes Jr. was issued a summons on an assault charge. The charges against them were dismissed, however, after Pictou-Noyes disappeared.

Last year Larry Noyes plead not guilty to unrelated charges of domestic violence terrorism, violation of a protection order and tampering with a witness.

Roger Noyes died in October of 2009.

Owens and Pictou-Noyes were longtime friends whose children often played together in Easton.

In the 19 years since her disappearance, Owens said, multiple leads and rumors have been tracked down by law enforcement, but the case remains open and unsolved.

A psychic connection
Owens, who lived in Fort Kent for a time in the late 1990s and is familiar with the Wallagrass site, may never have revisited the wooded area on Saturday if not for Fred Hamilton, a member of the Psychic Crime Fighters now living in North Waterboro, who knew all about the Wallagrass site long before he’d heard about Pictou-Noyes.

In late 2011 Hamilton said he had a four-hour vivid dream about the case with what he said were detailed images of the area in Wallagrass.

He posted the contents of his dream on his group’s website, where it was eventually seen by Cindy Owens’ daughter Jaime Owens.

“She contacted me [and] said what I had dreamed is what had happened to her friend,” Hamilton said from the search site Saturday. “I did not even see a picture of this site until this past August [and] when I did, I said, ‘Holy cow, this is exactly what I had been seeing in my dream.’”

Hamilton, who volunteered his time and traveled to northern Maine at his own expense, is a lifelong deep-water diver and said he is very good at “finding things in dark places.” He said he has successfully predicted the outcome of around 30 criminal cases over the last two years, including murders and kidnappings.

“It’s one thing to dream about a place like this,” Hamilton said. “But I had to come up and get my boots on the ground.”

The psychic spent about two hours tramping through the underbrush and along the streambed, orienting landmarks to those he had seen in his dream and through a phenomenon he termed “remote visualization.”

As he walked he described recurring themes in his dreams including the word “bare” or “bear,” old buildings, foundations, a fallen tree, a stream, houses and a treeline, and noted the shifts in the stream’s path may have moved or otherwise interfered with any evidence of a crime.

Eventually, he narrowed the search area down to a swath of land about 500 feet wide extending from the road and down the stream several hundred yards.

“I dreamed of an old barn,” he said. “I saw people in it, like they were laying low and hiding.”

Perhaps, Owens speculated, those were the ones behind the disappearance of Pictou-Noyes, hiding out after committing their crime.

For Hamilton, not traveling north to look at the scene was never an option.

“I had to come up here,” he said. “Ever since that dream I know I had been here before [and] I’ve been eating, breathing and sleeping this place [and] it is really surreal being in this place now.”

Moreover, Hamilton said he has a deeper connection with the case, as the day of Pictou-Noyes’ disappearance he had landed at the Portland International Jetport on a business trip from his then-home in California to Maritime Canada.

“Something told me I was supposed to be [in Maine]” he said. “When I got back home I told my wife we were moving to Maine.”

Hamilton said he is accustomed to skeptics, but noted his dreams and remote visualizations have proved correct time and time again.

“I try not to put too much logic into it,” he said.

Not giving up
After four hours in Wallagrass on Saturday — her third trip to the site — Owens said she is optimistic Pictou-Noyes’ family and friends will one day have the answers to her disappearance.

“This really could be the site,” she said. “I feel really good about what went on today because every little bit helps.

She had hoped to have the services of a K-9 tracking unit specializing in the search of bodies, but the handler was forced to cancel her trip north after the dog had emergency surgery late this past week.

Last year, Owens said, the same dog detected a significant scent in a burned out car possibly associated with the disappearance.

Jaime Owens has worked to keep the case alive and in the public’s eye with a presence on Facebook.

“Someone out there knows something,” Cindy Owens said. “I just hope someone comes forward and starts talking.”

She said her friend deserves that after all these years.

“Virginia was a really good person,” Owens said. “She loved cars and loved working on cars [and] she had this gold Cutlass she was working on that she really enjoyed.”

But it was a life marked by sadness and tragedy, including the deaths of two of her seven children in a 1990 house fire.

“We’ll be back, Owens vowed as the group walked away from the stream. “We all need closure on this.”
