A self-professed psychic looking for missing Sydney girl Kiesha Abrahams visited a reserve in Doonside and discovered the torso of a woman.



Police revealed today that the psychic, a local woman whose name was not released, went to Nurragingy Reserve at Knox Road last night because she had a "hunch" that the missing six-year-old girl’s body might be there.



But Chief Inspector Pam Young, of the NSW Homicide Squad, said the psychic, who was joined by another person, had instead come across a torso (missing the head, arms and legs) wrapped in plastic on a creek bank.



"It is very sad to say that an adult female torso has been found where the witnesses said they thought there was a body," she said.



"It’s quite interesting that a woman had a sense or a feeling that it was worth her while to come to this particular part of the park."



When asked if the psychic thought she would find evidence in relation to the case of Kiesha Abrahams, Chief Inspector Young said: "There was a thought in her mind apparently that her coming here might help that particular case. [They are] quite unusual circumstances that have brought us here initially and then [to] actually find a body ... but it’s certainly not a little child."



Chief Inspector Young said police were still investigating the circumstances surrounding the discovery but noted it was a "very interesting proposition" that the woman claimed to have psychic powers.



"For those who believe in such things, I understand that the woman thinks that she might have some powers along that [psychic] line," she said.



"I have certain strong feelings about people who claim they are psychic. I don’t think it will help if we enter a discussion on that."



The torso was found wrapped in plastic in grass by the side of the creek.



Police said they had contacted the family of a missing Sydney mother Kristi McDougall but could not confirm that it was her body until after a post-mortem examination.



Ms McDougall, a 31-year-old mother with a two-year-old son, went missing in June after she was seen by friends at Homebush.



Police could not say how long the body had been at the reserve or whether it had been in the water.



Investigators are searching the area for other body parts.



Kiesha was reported missing from her family’s Mount Druitt apartment 12 days ago. Her family have denied any involvement in her disappearance.
