Suspicious Minds

[UPDATE]:

Apparently Palfrey anticipated she would be "suicided."

------------

The media is reporting that alleged “DC madam” Deborah Jeane Palfrey has committed suicide:
A woman who apparently committed suicide in Florida is believed to be Deborah Jeane Palfrey, convicted last month of running a high-end prostitution service in Washington, officials said.

Authorities were called at 11 a.m. today to a mobile home park in Tarpon Springs, Fla., where they found a body in a residence belonging to Palfrey's mother. Few other details were immediately provided.

Palfrey, 52, was free while awaiting sentencing June 25 on federal racketeering charges. A federal jury convicted her April 15 of running a Washington-area call-girl ring in the guise of "a high-end erotic fantasy service," rejecting her argument that she was unaware for 13 years that female escorts she employed were performing sex acts with clients for money.

Wow. You’ve gotta be kidding me. Suicide?

The woman behind the public humiliation of diaper-fetishist Sen. David Vitter (R-LA), who sparked the resignation of USAID head Randall L. Tobias from the State Department, and named Washington Times columnist Harlan Ullman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies as a client, committed suicide? The "D.C. Madam" who threatened to sell records on as many as 15,000 clients?

We believe that?

Okie dokie.
