Psychic unsuccessful

The Woodward County Sheriff’s Office’s latest search for Logan Tucker has ended unsuccessfully.

Sheriff Les Morton said psychic Jeff Baker left the county Monday afternoon, giving up the search here to go to Tulsa to assist in a missing child case there.

Morton said that right now he feels “discouraged.”

“We came up empty-handed again,” he said.

Despite his discouragement, Morton said he still believes that bringing in a psychic was “worth a try.”

“It’s one of those things where if it works then you’re brilliant, but if it doesn’t then you’re nuts,” he said.

Morton said he knows there are people who do think he is nuts for bringing in a psychic to search for Tucker.

However, he said he would hope that “if it were their child that was missing, that they would want us to put in as much effort as we are in finding Logan.”

And while Baker did not locate the young boy’s remains, Morton said he does not view the past few days of searching as a waste of time.

“I’m not going to say that any time we’ve ever gone out and looked is a waste of time,” he said. “I think the effort is worthwhile.

“We’re not going to find him if we don’t look.”

Morton said that finding Tucker’s body will remain a priority for him “as long as (he’s) around.”

“The end of this is finding him and giving him a decent place to rest,” Morton said.

The boy was six at the time of his disappearance in June of 2002. Numerous searches have turned up nothing over the years.

Tucker’s mother Katherine Rutan-Pollard was found guilty last August of murdering her son and his serving a life sentence in the Oklahoma prison system.
