Practically the definition of AffablyEvil, Caleb helps them track the killer, not by getting into his head, but by giving them access to an exclusive cannibal Reddit forum that Jacob moderates.

His later observation that the killer used surgical tools to perform his kills also provides a useful insight into how the criminal is committing the murders to acquire an organ transplant rather than just to eat the parts he removes.

* In ''Series/LawAndOrder'' the detectives consult a mob leader who is in prison for the murder of a man. He points them in the right direction by noting the murder scene was just a drop place for the body and identifies a probable kill spot. All the criminal asks for was for the detectives to ask the feds to back off the man's grandson, who only shared his name but had nothing to do with criminal activity.

** After a janitor is murdered in a particularly intelligent way, the detectives talk to the Organized Crime Control Bureau and find the crime matches the M.O. of a retired mob hitman.

* A variant appears in Honobu Yonezawa (the author of ''Literature/{{Hyouka}}'')'s novel ''The Samurai and the Prisoner''. During the [[UsefulNotes/SengokuPeriod Siege of Itami]], Araki Murashige took Kuroda Kanbei hostage. The novel tells of a series of incidents and challenges Murashige is faced with during the siege, all of which he can only resolve by asking Kanbei for advice. It's not a perfect example because Kanbei's only "crime" was attempting to talk Murashige out of betraying UsefulNotes/OdaNobunaga and he's being consulted for his [[GreatDetective general intelligence]] and not any special insights into the criminal mind, but the stylistic language of the trope - the disheveled Kanbei crammed in a tiny cell, acting erratically and [[LaughingMad creepily giggling]] because he's long since [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Gone Mad From The Isolation]], and speaking in [[CrypticConversation cryptic riddles]] even though it's obvious he's already figured everything out - is well on display.

* In an attempt to catch the Green River Killer, members of the police task force assigned to the case periodically interviewed convicted serial killer Ted Bundy. Ultimately, many of Bundy's guesses about the real killer turned out to be correct, but were too vague to directly point to any one suspect at the time. This may be considered an UrExample, as the Green River Task Force's death row interviews with Bundy inspired Thomas Harris's ''Franchise/HannibalLecter'' novels.
