A mother whose son was found dead says she suspects foul play - and is being supported by a medium who claims she told police where to find his body.
Father-of-two Alex Holland disappeared on November 28 last year and his body was discovered by a dog walker in water between Deal and Worth two weeks ago.
His mother Rachel insists her son would never have committed suicide and told KentOnline that she wants police to do more.
"I want them to find out what happened that night after he left this house,” she added.
"They need to be putting their resources into finding out. I don't know if the police are taking me seriously or not.
"As a family, as a mother, I need answers. I know my son. This wasn't suicide.
"He would not have left his two girls.
"I had been clinging to a bit of hope that maybe he was going to come back.
"Now, I just want justice for him because none of this adds up."
"As a family, as a mother, I need answers..."
She says Alex was found wearing one slider - a backless, open toed shoe. The other was found 10ft from where his hire car was found, approximately 1.5 miles away, in Worth.
His phone was also found in the car. There has been no suicide note.
[...]
Despite requests, she says she still doesn't know where his wallet or car keys are.
She said: "I don't think he could have walked all of that way in pitch darkness, with no phone so no torch, in one slider and not have any marks on his body.
"If he was planning on going for a walk, he wouldn't go out in sliders and no coat in November."
Grieving Mrs Holland has been in contact with psychic Mary Lawton Johnson, who claims she told officers where to search for the body in January.
Mary, who lives in Florida and has never been to Kent, became involved after she was contacted by a friend of Alex's family.
She says she connected with the 27-year-old after "seeing him on a street corner" and started experiencing visions of him "face down in water".

Missing man's death remains mystery
A coroner was not able to establish how a man ended up dead in a ditch three months after he vanished.

A coroner was unable to find out why a man, missing for three months, ended up dead in a ditch.
A post mortem could not confirm the exact cause of Alex Holland's death, an inquest heard.
There were no signs of violence on the body, no evidence that it might be suicide and although cocaine and alcohol were found in his system these were not thought to be contributory factors.
Joanne Andrews, area coroner for North East Kent, gave an open conclusion at the hearing on Monday.
She said: "I have no evidence to conclude how he came to be in the ditch.
"There is no indication of third party involvement, police say the death is not suspicious and there is no evidence to reach a conclusion of death by suicide.
"I simply don't know how he came to be in that ditch."

Alcohol and cocaine (especially in combination) are exactly the type of drugs that will exacerbate mental health conditions like depression and anxiety (that he suffered with) as well as make people do compulsive things they wouldn't usually do.
The fact his car was found near the marital home makes me think of the kind of scenario where he may have had a few to drink a few lines then decided to go see his wife. He's either made it there and decided it was a bad decision and wandered off in his inebriated state and ended up in the ditch or there was some sort of interaction which has sadly led to the same outcome. It sounds like an accidental death to me via drowning/hypothermia.
Car keys and wallets are small things in the grand scale of things so he probably dropped them somewhere between the marital home and where he ended up.
The way he was dressed also sounds like the rash decision of someone who isn't in their right mind (via alcohol and drugs).

They've been talking to a "psychic medium" who has convinced them of it:

I hired a psychic to tell police where to find my murdered son's body
EXCLUSIVE: Alex Holland, 27, went missing from Deal in November 2021. In desperation, his devastated mother hired a psychic who made an eerily accurate prediction about where to find him.

"Perhaps the biggest unanswered question of the whole episode is why Alex was found with only one shoe.
His other slipper was found near his car, which meant if Alex walked to the ditch he would have do so with a bare foot.
Yet, despite being in the countryside, there were no cuts or abrasions to his feet, despite the distance from his car and having to track through wild growth with branches and thorns which could have easily left a mark"
His body was found 1 1/2 miles away from his car.
