A married man was convicted Tuesday of murder and kidnapping in the 2007 death of a single mother from Colorado who led a double life as a paid escort.

A judge sentenced 65-year-old Lester Ralph Jones to life in prison without parole after the jury delivered its verdict, according to the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel.

This isn't quite what it might first seem like. The single mom lives in a huge house in an affluent area and apparently didn't want to sacrifice the huge house and designer wardrobe and downsize. WHAT is going on these days that escorting is considered an appropriate alternative to working at an honest job?

Well, it is one of the oldest professions on the planet. I imagine it’s relatively easy money if you enjoy the work but gotta be a tough life for most of them.

“What the hell is wrong with us men that we’ll pay SO MUCH money for sex!”

Actually a good question.

Especially since it is like paying over the new list price for a used car.

Well, how does that old saying go...”you’re not paying for the sex, you’re paying for them to go away afterwards”?
