The Tennessee and national media is quiet on this which has the potential to be the biggest story since the shoe bomber. The speculation is obviously that this was a hit.

Gail, you've heard this haven't you?

[rwfromkansas]

a this is not a coincidence bump

[LJLucido]

If it wasn't a hit, may she was just run off the road by an unqualified driver with a fraudulent drivers license (poetic justice).

[DoctorMichael]

The plot thickens Bump.

WHAT??!!?

[xzins]

Not necessarily a hit....one car accidents are a prime means of committing suicide such that insurance policy suicide provisions do not get activated. Most often it can only be classified as an "unattended death."

State worker charged with selling driver's licenses may have been killed in car wreck

By Tom Bailey Jr.

A state employee charged with selling Tennessee driver's licenses failed to appear in federal Magistrate Court Monday morning, and federal officials said she may have died in a car wreck.

Katherine Smith, who worked at the driver's license testing station on Summer Avenue, was due in court for a detention hearing.

But federal prosecutor Tim DiScenza told the court that family members said Smith had not been seen since Saturday night. He said there was a strong likelihood that she had died early Sunday in a one-car wreck just north of the Mississippi state line on U.S. 72. The wreck was in Fayette County about three miles outside Collierville.

Witnesses told the Tennessee Highway Patrol that about 15 minutes after midnight the four-door car left the road, went through a ditch and struck a telephone pole, snapping it.

The single individual in the car was burned beyond recognition. The body was sent to the Shelby County medical examiner for identification.

Monday afternoon, Highway Patrol officials said they did not know the cause of the crash and did not have an identification of the victim.

Smith was one of six people charged last Wednesday by federal officials with conspiracy to get Tennessee driver's licenses under false pretenses.

Also charged were Mohammed Fares, Mostafa Said Abou-Shahin, Abdelmuhsen Mahmid Hammad, Sakhera Hammad and Khaled Odtllah.

Memphis FBI agents, acting on a tip from an informant in New York, arrested the men outside the Summer Avenue testing station last Tuesday.

According to an affidavit, federal agents and Tennessee Highway Patrol investigators Katherine Smith had filled out four driver's license applications based on forms filled out by Odtllah.

After her arrest, Smith told investigators that she had issued approximately seven other licenses for Odtllah, according to the affidavit. February 11, 2002

Sean Hannity had Phil Valentine on briefly this afternoon to discuss this story. It was the FIRST I had heard of this...the media in east Tennessee has been MIA on this one. Gee...I wonder why?

[mystery-ak]

hmmmmmm...interesting to say the least....how convenient!

[cactmh]

An Islamicide!

[who knows what evil?]

Any of these boys get their hands on a pilot's license, as well? Is anyone in west Tennessee law enforcement paying attention? G-d help us.

That was my first thought. Smells bad, doesn't it??. . .

Blood, what you said earlier is worth repeating here:

Last year in one of the Tennesse GA's fits of stupidity, they decided it would be a good idea to give illegal aliens a valid Tennessee driver's license under the stupid belief that having a driver's license would make LEGAL ALIENS better drivers.

The law did not require the illegals to have so much as even a shred of proof that they even lived in Tennessee and within days of the signing, word was spread of this free goodie throught the illegal alien community, and literally every DL testing center in the state was swamped with tens of thousands of illegal aliens trying to get their DL's.

In spite of this and 9-11, the DemocRATS and our RINO governor has insisted that the law does not make terrorism easier.

[Sabertooth]

Very Fishy!

(((ping))))

At this point it is assumed that the body is indeed of Katherine Smith.

First the five Arabs are denied bail on charges of trying to illegaly get false
drivers licenses.
Their (alleged co-conspirator) Ms. Smith is released on her own recognizance.
Now (maybe) Ms. Smith is killed in a crash-n-burn car accident.

Just a string of unrelated occurences.
No conspiracy here.

Pattern similar to what we saw in OKC bombing witnesses bump

[DoughtyOne]

In the best tradition of Vince Foster and Enron's Baxter, I'd just like to say that this was obviously suicide.

Move along...
