Deborah Jeane Palfrey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Deborah Jeane Palfrey (March 18, 1956 – May 1, 2008) (dubbed the D.C. Madam by the news media) operated Pamela Martin and Associates, an escort agency in Washington, D.C.. Although she argued that the company’s services were legal, she was convicted on April 15, 2008 of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes, and money laundering.Slightly over two weeks later, facing a prison sentence of five or six years, she was found dead. Authorities have described her death as an apparent suicide.

Isn’t this just a bit fishy? I mean lets think this out, she was set to make millions, she was ready to turn heads and have those that stabbed her in the back pay for their treachery… she was planning on being around…

On May 1, 2008, Palfrey was found hanging in a storage shed outside her mother’s mobile home in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Police reported finding handwritten suicide notes near the body. On May 5, 2008, the autopsy results were released concluding her death was a suicide. Additionally, her handwritten notes were released to the public in which she wrote to her sister, “You must comprehend there was no way out, I.E. ‘exit strategy,’ for me other than the one I have chosen here.” In another, she described her predicament as a “modern-day lynching”. She said she feared that at the end of serving her sentence she would be “broken, penniless and very much alone”. Her family said the notes were authentic.
Palfrey had moved her possessions to her mother’s home in preparation for prison and been staying with her the previous week. Her mother said she had “no indication” that Palfrey was planning to commit suicide. Additionally, local news outlets reported that Palfrey’s condominium manager met with her the previous Monday and said, “She did not seem the least bit distraught” and spoke of her future plans.
