Nancy du Tertre (born March 18, 1955),known as "The Skeptical Psychic,tm"is a psychic medium, attorney, paranormal investigator, teacher, author, and radio show host of a CBS Show "Hot Leads Cold Cases." She is known for her theory of the origins of psychic ability.

Early Life Born in New Haven, Connecticul, by the time she had graduated from high school, du Tertre had already moved with her family nine times and had lived all over the United States and abroad. Her father, Dr. Roger Lester, was a Yale Medical School educated, internationally-recognized medical scientist in the field of liver research As a child, du Tertre sometimes accompanied her father to his laboratory and watch him conduct various experiments on rats, giant frogs, sheep, and monkeys. Summers were spent at the family home near the Marine Biological Laboratories and Oceanographic Institute on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. She graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University in 1978 with an award for best departmental thesis in Romance Languages. Du Tertre later received her J.D. degree from Pace Law School in 1986 where she graduated with honors as a published member of the Law Review.

Work Du Tertre was not a "born psychic" but became psychic through years of hard work and training. She was apprenticed to well-known New Jersey psychic detective Nancy Orlen Weber for nearly a decade and worked with her on police investigations of missing persons or homicide cases. During this time she also trained with numerous American, British and Russian psychics, mediums and medical intuitives. She is also certified in Intuitive Gestalt Psychotherapeutic dialoguing techniques from the SomaPsyche Institute in New York City. Du Tertre advocates the idea that we are all born with psychic abilities which become dormant as we increasingly rely on language and logic to communicate, but that these innate abilities can be re-learned and trained. Her book "Psychic Intuition: Everything You Ever Wanted to Ask But Were Afraid to Know" (2012) explains a groundbreaking theory about how psychic ability functions in terms of neuroscience, linguistics and psychology. Du Tertre has also been the editor and publisher of a newspaper specialized in the health care industry in New York State, owner of a printing company in Brooklyn, owner of a 242-bed skilled nuring home in Brooklyn, and co-owner of a porcelain factory in Limoges, France. As an attorney she practiced securities litigation in New York City for nearly a decade. She currently works with law enforcement on missing persons cases, teaches psychic development workshops in the New York Tri-state area, lectures to university psychology students and paranormal groups on the topic of psychic intuition, offers private readings, and hosts a weekly CBS Radio Show called "Hot Leads Cold Cases" which explores how people in different professions, such as law enforcement, psychology, astrophysics, archeology, parapsychology, neuroscience, etc., investigate and solve mysteries.

Media In 2011, du Tertre was a regular weekly guest delivering psychic predictions on current events on KAHI Radio News with host Mary Jane Popp. She is a frequent guest on broadcast and internet radio shows, including Coast-to-Coast, and has appeared on television shows including the Sundance Channel's "Love, Lust & The Paranormal."
