Aboriginal elder leads police to body — but wrong one

SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) – An Aboriginal elder who claimed to have seen the location of a missing child in a dream has led Australian police to a body — but it was not the corpse of a child but of an adult woman.

Cheryl Carroll-Lagerwey, the Aboriginal elder, said she was not psychic but had a third sense that she could lead police to the body of Kiesha Abrahams.

Third sense? This really should embarrass someone.

We’re aware the usual expression is sixth sense, but third is what she said, so we couldn’t change it.

If third sense is some kind of localized version of the idea of having an extra sense, I think we could have explained that fact for our global audience, or else just dropped the sense reference altogether if it seemed confusing: GBU Editor
