UPDATE: The body of Kathy Adams -- known to her customers as Psychic Kay -- has been found in a ravine off U.S. 36 highway in Colorado. The body was apparently discovered by motorists, but it was so badly decayed that police couldn't initially tell if it was a man or a woman. See update after the jump...

Kathy Adams, a self-professed psychic from Fort Collins, Colorado, had long been having problems with her husband of 20 years, John Marks Jr. Her siblings says he was abusive, and that she was about to leave him. She'd already purchased a plane ticket to Atlanta.

She told a sister in Pennsylvania about her intent to flee on October 7. But when sis hadn't heard from Kathy for five days, she asked police for a welfare check on Kathy's home.

Detectives aren't saying what they found, but they are saying it led them to suspicions of foul play. Kathy never boarded her flight to Atlanta. And she hasn't been seen since.

Her family is convinced that Marks had something to do with her disappearance. He has previous convictions for drug possession and smuggling contraband into a Colorado prison. And he too is missing. 

A week after Kathy talked to her sister, Marks' Buick was found in the parking lot of a Longmont hotel, about 30 miles from the couple's home.

But so far, detectives are playing whatever info they have close to the vest. We'll keep you posted.

UPDATE: Kathy Adams' body has been found.

The woman known as Psychic Kay was found in a ravine off a highway near Estes Park. Early indications say she was beaten to death, but the body was so decomposed it may take further tests to reveal her exact manner of death.

Meanwhile, detectives are still looking for her husband. There's been no sign of him since his car was found at a motel about a week after Kathy is believed to have gone missing.
