A veteran Congressional aide who worked most recently as a lobbyist and was married to White House legislative affairs senior official was found dead in her car Monday behind the couple’s Capitol Hill home
A message sent from someone to Obama?
Someone took out Turton to send a message to Obama - motive? who knows.
I am confused if she was going to the airport she would have hit the garage door on the way out,low speed and impossible to cause a fire in the BMW tank she was driving. If she was coming back because she forgot something she would have hit with the front of the vehicle which is designed not to cause a fire. If she hit at low speed why didn’t she exit the vehicle?

Authorities have not determined the exact cause of the crash or why the car caught fire. Neighbors say Ashley Turton was heading to airport for an early flight.
“The leading theory is accidental [that] the car crashed through the garage doors and…was found on fire in the garage area,” Piringer said, adding that the incident is under joint investigation by the fire and police departments. “There were some unusual circumstances – just the way the car was, low-speed, significant fire, things like that….For the most part, the fire was confined to the area of origin.”

This Politico story seems to have some inconsistencies....
Earlier they say a low speed chase....then later we have that she was leaving for the airport.....
Time to capture all reports since it sure looks like creative reporting is going on!
