Celebrity psychic told Berry's mom her daughter was dead

CLEVELAND, OhioA celebrity psychic once told Amanda Berry's mother on "The Montel Williams Show" that her daughter was dead.

Berry's mom, Louwana Miller, appeared on an episode of the show that aired in November 2004, more than a year after her teenage daughter disappeared.

CCBS Cleveland reports Miller asked psychic Sylvia Browne if she would ever see her daughter again.

"I hate this when they're in water. I just hate this. She's not alive, honey," Browne told Miller on the show.

Browne added that she would only see her daughter "in heaven, on the other side."

Amanda Berry and two other women who vanished about a decade ago were found Monday, elating family members and friends who had longed to see them again.

Authorities arrested three brothers, Ariel Castro, 52, Onil Castro, 50, and Pedro Castro, 54.

Police believe Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were held in a house, owned by Ariel Castro, since they were in their teens or early 20s.

A 6-year-old, believed to be Berry's daughter, was also was found in the house.

Berry's mother died in March 2006 after being hospitalized for months with pancreatitis and other ailments.

She had spent the previous three years looking for her daughter, whose disappearance took a toll as her health steadily deteriorated, family and friends said.
