The Nhoj Case Files #10: The Rabbi at Bay

"What now, Chief?" I asked picking up my cellphone. I hope this time it's something exciting. Not riddles and notes (though that one was pretty fun).

Apparently, I'm right.

"We have a body at Beetle Bay" He said. "It matches the profile of Howard Getsroff, a rabbi that recently passed away, whose body was taken from the grave. Howard and the John Doe are both 5'ish, Caucasian, about 40 years old." he added.

"You sure it's Mr. Getsroff?" I asked. Our office isn't well known for it's hi-tech instruments in determining identities of Does.

"Well, the body had a birthmark near an autopsy scar, we can ask his relatives if he has that, and case closed. Looks like you won't need to be earning your pay today", he sighed.

"Not necessarily, I just proved that that body isn't Howard Getsroff" I said.

How?

Yeah, they're common here.

Try this one:
#15 There are words ending in -GRY. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are only three words in the English language. What is the third word? The word is something that everyone uses every day. If you have listened carefully, I have already told you what it is.
