DC Madam Commits Suicide in Florida

Are you surprised that the DC Madam (Deborah Jeane Palfrey) would commit suicide?  Ok, I don't know about you, but something about this story sounds really strange. 

1.  According to her mother, there was no sign of suicidal thoughts/tendencies.

2. No drugs or alcohol involved - according to the police report.

Let's look at the possibilities for her:

1. Ok she spends 6-8 years in prison, probably  a lot less, out on good behavior.

2. She'll likely have TONS of offers for a book deal, TV show, movie.

3. She'd make MILLIONS on this. Money, after all was why she ran this operation. Surely not for the sex.

4. The list of clients alone could be worth MILLIONS.

5. There's no more reason to keep the list private, or is there?

Someone out there: someone rich, powerful, and well-connected doesn't want his/her name revealed.  What do you do when you have access to anything, and potentially 

could lose it all? 

You put her away. Make it look like a suicide. Hide all evidence of foul play. Of course it's been done before, someone connected to the rich and powerful "commits suicide" before they can reveal the truth about those rich and powerful people.

I don't believe for a moment the DC Madam committed suicide.

But, unfortunately for her, just like many other stories connected to the rich and powerful, this story will fade away...after all, she was just a hooker.   

Yeah, a hooker with the names of some of the most powerful people in the world in her little black book. Come on, give me a break.
