MELISSA PHELAN
With nearly 15 years of experience as a forensic profiler and remote viewer, I've spent my career decoding the minds of killers and uncovering patterns that traditional methods overlook.
I created Alternative Eye because I saw a critical gap in how we approach cold cases and crime media. Too many cases go silent, trapped in systems that fail to evolve.
This podcast is my answer—a platform where forensic expertise meets innovative thinking, where world-class specialists collaborate in real-time, and where the public becomes part of the investigation.
