And the police were completely befuddled, completely stumped.

They had no evidence.

So they brought in the psychiatrist whose name was James Brussel.

And he made these extraordinarily specific predictions.

He said he's going to be Eastern European.

He's going to live with a sibling.

He's going to live in the suburbs or outside the city somewhere.

And then he's going to be wearing a blue double-breasted suit buttoned to the top when you find him.

So the police go out.

They get a tip that there is a guy and actually an angry former Con Ed employee who they go to his house.

They knock on the door.

His sister is there.

He lives with his sister.

He's of Eastern European descent.

And he's wearing a bathrobe.

So that part wasn't right.

But then when they told him they're taking him into the station, he went to go change and he came out in this blue double-breasted suit buttoned to the top.

It's like this extraordinary, almost magical, you know, conclusion.

And that gets told widely over and over and over again.

But it turns out that this is what James Brussel, the psychiatrist, wrote in his book.
