The Mystic and the Police

A group of Israeli university students was taking a criminology course when the instructor told the class about a man who was described as a “mystic” who contacted the police who were working on a missing-persons case. "The old man gave eerily detailed instructions on where to find the body," the teacher said. "In fact, the detectives did find the body just as he had described. Now what would you call that kind of person?"

While the rest of the class pondered the question, a police officer taking the course raised his hand and replied, "A suspect."
