Ashley Turton, wife of the Obama administration's House of Representatives liaison, Dan Turton, was found dead in a burning car Monday morning, Roll Call and other news outlets are reporting.
Fire officials said it appeared the car crashed as it was pulling in or out of the garage behind a rowhouse in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C., at about 5 a.m. Neighbors dialed 911 after spotting the fire.
The body was discovered after fire crews doused the blaze. The fire also charred part of the garage. Nobody in the house was injured, fire officials said.
Ashley Turton worked as a lobbyist for the utility giant Progress Energy, according to Politico. She was a former staffer for U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.
Metropolitan Police Lt. Nicholas Breul told Roll Call a joint investigation is underway. Homicide detectives were called to the scene.
"This could be just a tragic freak accident," Breul said, adding there was no indication that there was a crime committed.
The White House had no immediate comment on the incident.
I do not disagree with you. I just wanted to clarify.
“Perhaps she was not the target...... maybe she wasn’t supposed to be driving the car......”
I thought about that also. Could be the case if the car was rigged to blow.
Ford Pinto....
“Progress Energy”
Boy, just saying the name of it makes ya feel “green” all over doesn’t it?
Let me guess, they’re heavily invested in wind and solar, right?
Oh My!
I remember that being posted here on FR.
I didn’t realize that it was written by Jack Wheeler.
Yikes, he was connected to some interesting people.
PING
Well, Hitlery is from Chicago, so...could be.
Good question.
***The WaPo photo appears to show a BMW SUV.***
Don’t remember whether it was on the Weather Channel or FOX, but firemen were pouring water on a flaming BMW.
Apparently, the driver just kept spinning his/her wheels on the ice; the tires became so hot they set the engine on fire.
It was totally consumed by fire.
Was one of the cars tires around her neck?

The next time I am in Montana, I will scare off all of the sheep. ;>)

I was trying to tie in The Masons and The Illuminate.
Very interesting. I don’t believe in coincidences.
Have they interviewed Hillary Clinton?
