Somerset Police arrest palm reader for theft of client after convincing her that daughter was possessed

SOMERSET — Chief George McNeil reports that the Somerset Police Department arrested and charged a woman who owns a palm reading business with stealing over $70,000 from a client of hers.

On Dec. 17, Somerset Police launched an investigation into Tracey Milanovich, 37, of Somerset after a resident reported that she tricked the resident into giving her large sums of money. Milanovich operated Tracy’s Psychic Palm Reader out of a location on County Street.

The subsequent investigation revealed that Milanovich convinced the victim that her daughter was possessed by a demon, and that cash and household items were needed in order to banish the spirit from her daughter.

Milanovich was found to have stolen approximately $71,000 from the victim and the victim additionally purchased multiple household items for her, like towels and bedding.

As a result of the investigation, conducted by Somerset Police Officer Cormier and Officer Lance Rhodes, an arrest warrant was obtained and Milanovich was placed under arrest on Dec. 27.
