Palm Reader Arrested For Allegedly Scamming A Client Out of $71,000 To Banish A Demon From Her Daughter
By Harmeet Kaur, CNN
A Massachusetts palm reader allegedly con- vinced a client that her daughter was possessed by a demon and swindled her out of $71,000, according to
the Somerset Police Department.
Tracey Milanovich, 37, is charged with six counts of obtain- ing property over $250 by trick, attempt to commit a crime, criminal harassment, lar- ceny over $1,200
and intimidating a witness, a spokesman for the Fall River District Court in Somerset, Massachusetts, told CNN.
She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment on Monday and was released on per- sonal recogni- zance. Her next court appearance is scheduled for
February 21, the court said.
CNN called Milanovich's attor- ney for comment but has not yet received a response.
Through a busi- ness called Tracy's Psychic Palm Reader, police said Milanovich con- vinced a client that she needed
to provide cash and purchase household items, including towels and bedding, to banish a spirit from her daugh- ter. Milanovich was found to have stolen approximately $71,000 from the woman, the department said.
Milanovich was arrested on December 27. Somerset police are asking any- one else who thinks they may have been a vic- tim to contact them.
