Fortune tellers often give vague promises of fortune and love to those whose palms they read. A palm reader visiting from out of town got more than she bargained for Saturday after she read the palm of a man who was posing as a policeman. the man, after having his palm read, demanded money and sex from the palm reader. He must have a strong life line.

The woman, who was visiting from New York and was staying at a Lincoln Park apartment, promptly fled sad apartment. Police are seeking an African-American man, between 20-30 years old, five foot four inches tall, between 125-140 pounds. And looking for love in all the wrong places.
