'Money cleanser vanishes with $140,000
Aug 12 2009
Police said a mysterious woman known as Senora Monica offered to spiritually "cleanse" money for at least seven Hispanic families, but it was the families who got "cleansed." The woman vanished with their $140,000.
The victims told police they met Senora Monica at a swap meet or heard her advertisements on Spanish-language radio. She advertised that she could help with anything from palm reading to infertility.
The families turned over all their money for "cleansing" when Senora Monica told them the larger the sum, the greater discount she could give them. They were supposed to get it back Sunday night at the woman's storefront. Surprise! She never showed, and police say much of the information on the business license for the store is false.
They're trying to figure out who she is. She's described as Hispanic, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet tall and 130 pounds, with long black hair.
