TARPON SPRINGS - Police were called to the home of DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey's mother on Thursday to investigate her apparent suicide.
Police have confirmed that the dead person is Palfrey who was 52.
Palfrey was dubbed "The DC Madam" by the national media after her arrest for allegedly running an upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol.
...she died in a plane crash from an overdose that resulted from the pain medications she needed for the bullets wounds and slashed wrists she received while trying to land in her moms shed behind her house trailer. Meanwhile, in a odd sort of way, during these times of high gas and food prices,lies,revelations and investigations, simultaneous renditions of the old tune, "Happy Days are Here Again", could be heard throughout the House and Senate
Jsut a thought....As a retired cop of 20 years, I can honestly say I’ve never seen a female commit suicide by hanging. Like most of the posters around here, most women will not do anything to disfigure themselves which is why pills and alcohol are the preferred methods.
Granted, there willbe the slashed wrist, but it doesn’t cause the post-mortem problem that a hanging would.
Secondly, why the shed. Most of the small sheds in trailer parks are the light steel type and not very well constructed. Further, since Tarpon is right on the gulf, the temperature inside the shed would probably be well in excess of 100 degrees, I doubt if she could have stood the heat until she passed out. Just for reference, yesterday’s high was in the low 80’s and the low was 65. At 9am this morning it was 65-70 degrees. It would be much hotter in an enclosed space like a shed. Lastly, most of those parks are filled with the senior set, they are around all day and can probably tell you more about yourself than you’d care to know. If someone saw the trike outside or saw her enter the shed and not leave in short order, they would have come snooping. I’m not saying it was anything other than a suicide, but it makes you wonder?
Don’t all old madams croak themselves when the party’s over?
“...and can probably tell you more about yourself than youd care to know.” LOL Maybe it was her mom that did herself in to avoid the embarassment of her daughter with all of her neighbors! ;)
My dad lives near Tarpon Springs..... .
Come on...she was in her fifties, (young by cooter standards) mildly attractive (in a DC kind of way.) I bet every old guy in the place was keeping tabs on her. I’ll also bet the sale/delivery of viagra increased at that particular trailer park. She probably couldn’t go outside without someone hawking her.
Just got back and saw your post on the locked thread. Seems pretty strange to me...the whole thing! Two suicides in relation to this case? I don’t buy it!!
I suppose it could be a suicide/mother complex in overdrive. She obviously had no regards for her mother if she staged the whole thing for her to find. Very sad.
On the other hand, I can see many reasons why someone would want her dead. Who has the rights to this big ‘book deal’ now that she is gone? How much of it had been written? Who are her lawyers? Who has the black book and stands to gain from it’s full release? So many questions...so little time...LOL
Not sure why some are ruling out murder just because of a suicide note. Lots of murdered people have written suicide notes while they had a gun to their head!
More thoughts later as i catch up on the thread. Thanks for the ping!
Looks like somebody better start looking at this Dan Moldea character! Interesting post!! Keep me pinged if you dig up anything else please.

Have not read it all yet, just wanted to get it posted.
I read through several different versions of the information on this 'suicide' and came to the same conclusion each time....certain parties found her and interrogated and threatened her in the shed....away from the main house....wanting to know the whereabouts of the black book and/or for her to give out what information they wanted....and she didnt ....they decided to have her write notes and 'suicide' her with a nylon rope in the shed(Nylon rope - used on boats....lotsa them around there. How big was this shed? Would a small shed be able to handle the weight of this woman hanging?)
There is not a solid reason why she would have killed herself. She was a Madam....she had to have been a tough cookie. Heidi Fleiss and the Mayflower Madam didnt run off and hang themselves. She was also not a total idiot....graduated from Rollins College with a degree in criminal justice, and attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law, but did not graduate. Who knows....She may have made a deal and been ready to turn over good evidence on some big shot then would have gotten reduced sentence on the 'Madam' charges.

He apparently had some go rounds here in 1999 before he was banned!!
The DC boys must have thought things were to risky like Chandra Levy.
In my opinion, this woman was silenced to keep some POS in either the congress or senate.
Just Words,
NSNR
Bet her system is loaded with drugs!!
I am agree and I am a woman too. Statistics show women take pills or poison but there is always the fear factor. Her going to jail or someone telling her they would kill her mother if she didn’t go along with it.
I didn’t know there was a hollywood black list?
I’m embarrassed reading this thread, the woman hung herself instead of going to jail. Someone could do a reverse DummieFunnies on this thread, but then again I’m one of the people here who believe Oswald killed Kennedy (he did).
You are TOTALLY correct! I just had that conversation with hubby and a little light went on in his head and he agreed with me. NO caring daughter would do that to her mother and most of us are not into violent means of death.
"During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.
