In a bizarre story out of Brazil, police say that a woman stole $139 million worth of artwork from her mother by way of an elaborate scheme involving a phony psychic. The wild case reportedly came to light on Wednesday when authorities in Rio de Janeiro announced that they had arrested a group of people who had worked together to pull off the strange heist. The plan was set into motion, cops say, when a person claiming to be a clairvoyant sought out the victim, who has a strongly held belief in the supernatural, and shared a worrisome 'vision' that her daughter was going to die.
