From what I can cull from the AP wire, James Randi of CSICOP, physicist Steve
Shore and astronomer Nick Seduleak of Case Western University asked to be
allowed to investigate. 

The mother, Joan Resch, said that the two from Case Western can enter the
house after William Roll, director of the Psychical Research Center in Chapel
Hill, NC, is done with his investigations.  However, Mrs. Resch refuses to
allow Randi in. 

Roll says it looks like a case of "recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis" and
wants to take the girl, Tina, to Chapel Hill for further testing.  Randi has
asked to be allowed to participate. 

 @@@@@@

I'd say that the fact that a magician can detect fakery better than most
others has no bearing on refusing Randi's involvement :-).
