Bradenton, Florida — A man who gave a psychic $32,000 to bless returned the next day to find she and the money have disappeared, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office reports.

The strange case began when Manuel Lanaverde, 29, of Arcadia heard ads the psychic ran on two local radio stations, promising she could change your luck. He telephoned her then met with her at her residence, 3200 51st Ave. Drive East, telling her his construction business was not making money.

"The psychic advised him that if he brought her a large amount of money she could bless it and that would make his business prosper," the sheriff's office said. "The victim then brought her $32,000 in cash to her residence and had her bless the money."

She then told the victim to come back tomorrow to pick up the money because it would take a full day to bless the money.

The next day the victim went back to the psychic residence and she was not there.
