Eliana Obispo (Shani Pride) is a hidden minor villainess of "Voodoo Undo", episode 1.12 of Fox's The Finder (airdate May 4, 2012). She was the ex-wife of mafia kingpin Javier Obispo, who was being plagued with bad luck during the course of the episode. When Javier was slipped a picture of a voodoo doll made of him, he approached Walter Sherman and asked for his help in finding the doll to end the ongoing curse. When they were told by a practicing "good witch" known as La Bruja that the doll was the work of an evil priestess known as "The Scorpion Witch," Walter and Willa went to her store to confront her, only to instead find her corpse.

Later on, the witch's killer was identified as Javier's hitman, known simply as "Icepick," and he then revealed that he had been hired by Eliana to perpetrate the murder. Javier and Walter questioned Eliana at her home while she was getting a massage, with Walter taking her massage therapist's place in order to have privacy. When pointedly asked by Javier, Eliana admitted to orchestrating the Scorpion Witch's death, having learned of the rumors that she had cursed Javier and deciding that she needed to "take action." While Eliana also claimed that she had been motivated by her lingering care for her ex-husband, she was less than compassionate when he told her that killing the Scorpion Witch had done nothing to end the curse and was unnaturally calm when Javier had his arm set on fire by a nearby candle. Eliana was later suspected of having had the doll made, but it was soon proven that La Bruja had been the real creator of the doll. It is ultimately left unknown as to whether or not Eliana was arrested for having the Scorpion Witch killed.
