Summary
This episode explores the bizarre and devastating case of Rachel Lee, a self-proclaimed psychic who orchestrated one of Oregon’s most elaborate frauds. Posing as a spiritual advisor, Lee manipulated a tree-farm heir in Gaston, Oregon, eventually defrauding him of an estimated $15.5 million.
We dig into how Rachel’s promises of protection, curses, and reincarnation were used to exploit her victim over several years—and how the truth finally came to light. This is a story of deception, manipulation, and the high cost of misplaced trust.
