Tell-all madam commits suicide

By see-dubya • May 1, 2008 02:08 PM

Washington, D.C. breathes a little easier:

A body police believe to be 52-year-old Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found in a shed near her mother’s mobile home Thursday morning in Tarpon Springs, about 20 miles northwest of Tampa. Police said she left a suicide note, but they did not disclose its contents or how she killed herself.

This is the lady that threatened to reveal the names of her customers if she was forced to stand trial–and her customers supposedly include many prominent names among the Beltway’s political elite.

What a sordid, brutal, ugly business to be in. But then, so is prostitution.

Palfrey’s is not the first suicide in connection with the investigation:

One of the escort service employees was former University of Maryland, Baltimore County, professor Brandy Britton, who was arrested on prostitution charges in 2006. She committed suicide in January before she was scheduled to go to trial.

Last year, Palfrey said she, too, was humiliated by her prostitution charges, but said: “I guess I’m made of something that Brandy Britton wasn’t made of.”

…..That should be on her obituary..or tombstone….
Ms Palfrey did what she did…out of her own volition. Whether she killed herself or was murdered, that lifestyle has consequences. She could have been a doctor, lawyer…..and yet Brandy Britton was a professor who ALSO happened to have decided for that type of life.

Yep …this so-called suicide smells fishy…I wonder just how much effort the authorities will go into investigating it.
