"Ashley Turton, a former senior aide to Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.), was found dead early Monday morning in a burned car on Capitol Hill, her employer said.

Turton's employer, Progress Energy Inc., confirmed reports that she was the woman found by the D.C. Fire Department in the pre-dawn hours on Monday.

In a statement, Progress Energy CEO Bill Johnson called Turton a "valued employee" and a "dear friend to many of us."

"This news is very hard to take. I know we all will keep her husband, children and parents in our thoughts and prayers, he said. "Today is an eventful day for us as employees of Progress Energy. Ashley’s tragic death reminds us all to keep perspective in all things."

Ashley Turton was married to Dan Turton, the White House liaison to the House of Representatives. "

A fire bomb perhaps...no explosives though. Or perhaps she was already dead and someone was trying to cover their tracks? It certainly doesn’t look accidental to this untrained eye though. She didn’t even try to escape the burning car.

Her ugliness caused the car to detonate. I am pretty sure, based on the evidence I’ve never seen.

The ugly woman is the Dem congress witch that she worked for before becoming a lobbyist for a progressive energy company. The pics that I have seen of the dead woman are very attractive..for the record. She was very young and pretty. A mother of three children. I hope they catch who did this to her.
