''D.C. Madam'' reportedly kills herself in Tarpon Springs


Tarpon Springs, Florida — Detectives are investigating a suicide in Tarpon Springs

This morning they arrived to a mobile home park on US Highway 19 to find Deborah Jeane Palfrey, also known as the "D.C. Madam" dead.

Palfrey, 52, was reportedly staying at this location with her mother, Blanche, who owns the home. She was found in a small storage shed located outside the mobile home. She left a suicide note, but police did not disclose its contents.

Investigators say that at this time, foul play does not appear to be involved.

Palfrey was convicted April 15 by a federal jury of running a prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's political elite, including Sen. David Vitter, a Louisiana Republican.

She had denied her escort service engaged in prostitution, saying that if any of the women engaged in sex acts for money, they did so without her knowledge.

..the rest of her list of high profile politicians has never been released...

but nothing to see here folks, move along...

[The Power Hour]

There is a true story behind this and I plan to find out what it is.

[Nbadan]

Palfrey said on a Austin radio station that she would never commit suicide if she was ever found dead....

here ya go...

.....giving the list to ABC News was here last mistake...

[Nbadan]

ABC needs to give up the names, and not just the ones who didn't wear flag-lapel pins...

[clambake]

does roger clemens have an alibi?

[whottt]

This is a complete and total outrage and if the police try to claim this is a suicide and no further investigation is needed, they need to be fired.

It could not be more obvious that that woman had absolutely no intention of commiting suicide....she definitely doesn't seem like the type.


And ABC needs to realease those names...all of them.

[Wild Cobra]

Well then. I wonder what the possibility is of president Clinton being on the list, and adding her name to those who mysteriously died around him?

[Wild Cobra]

This is a complete and total outrage and if the police try to claim this is a suicide and no further investigation is needed, they need to be fired.

Yes, if that really is true as said. Law enforcement often does not release all the facts and often lies about the actual investigation status. It is possible they are looking into a murder, but don't want to alert the perpetrator.

[ChumpDumper]

Palfrey said on a Austin radio station that she would never commit suicide if she was ever found dead....
Writer Dan Moldea, who interviewed Palfrey several times for a possible book about her experiences, said today that Palfrey told him three times that she would kill herself rather than return to prison. She had served an 18-month term in California in the early 1990s for running a prostitution service and told Moldea that it was "just a horrible, horrible period for her," the writer said.

"The first time she did time, it damn near killed her, she told me," Moldea said. "She wound up in a fairly tough prison, and the stress caused some sort of an illness, and it was a very debilitating illness that affected her eyesight."

Moldea said that, in three interviews last spring and summer, after she was indicted, Palfrey told him: "I'm not going back to jail. I'll kill myself first. I'll commit suicide before I go back to jail."

Hmmm, this is a dilemma! A post with an unsubstantiated quote from a renowned conspiracist or a portion of an interview incorporated into a news story in a publication.

I'm sure it's more M$M cover-up.

I would agree, however, that there are circumstances here that suggest that law enforcement should offer a bit more transparency into the investigation.

It was somehow predictable that WC would immediately wonder aloud about the opportunity to implicate Bill Clinton.

High charisma + low standards = Bill Clinton never needs to pay for sex.

Damn FWDT, your wrong again....

....and your source has no cred....those comments weren't from any interview for a book they were are really from before her 1990 conviction and pre-sentencing....as found here on the smoking gun...


Before her sentencing in that case, Palfrey filed a court memorandum claiming that she had "thoughts of suicide" and experienced "Vietnam-like flashbacks" as a result of persecution at the hands of San Diego police. Suicide, she noted, was a "viable option." An excerpt from Palfrey's June 1992 court filing can be found below, while the entire document, which details her personal history, is here. In arguing that she deserved probation and not incarceration, Palfrey stated that she was "not a criminal" and "not prison material."

The Smoking gun (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/0501081palfrey1.html)

Her attorney was clearly using this as a ploy to get her a reduced sentence on her 1990ish conviction...

So what did Paltrey really say herself after her latest arrest?


She wrote in August 1991 following an attempt to bring her to trial,"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very life would be jeopardized, rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice squad of having a vendetta against her.<9>

"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance, "I'm planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.<10>

Nope, but clearly someone has edited this out, but they can't erase all the evidence, here is a direct link to the Alex Jones interview with Palfrey..

Let me save you two hours...


During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, the most recent being in July last year, Palfrey conceded that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal and if she was found dead it would be murder.

"No I’m not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones Show on her last appearance in July, "I’m planning on going into court and defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

Alex Jones is a loon, but he nailed this case....

Meanwhile, it looks like there was no is no depth that Moldea wouldn't sink for for cash...


In late 1998, Moldea says, a private detective put him in touch with Flynt, who asked him to investigate whether Clinton's opponents had also engaged in sexual dalliances. "It took me about five seconds to say yes," Moldea says. He was angry about the effort to drive Clinton from office, and signed on for $125 an hour.

Moldea soon learned that Bob Livingston, a Republican congressman from Louisiana who was on the verge of becoming House speaker, had engaged in extramarital affairs. Livingston promptly resigned, and Flynt decided not to release the details. He gave Moldea a $35,000 bonus for the discovery.

Moldea also says he discovered that the outgoing speaker, Newt Gingrich, was having an affair with a House aide who is now his third wife. But, he says, Flynt decided not to out Gingrich because he had already quit.

sleazy!

[ChumpDumper]

She lost, so she did what she told ABC News and Dan Moldea she would -- never spend another day in prison.

And the links you gave was for an August 24 show, while your former Wiki quote says July. Why do nutters never sweat the details?
Meanwhile, it looks like there was no is no depth that Moldea wouldn't sink for for cash... Like talk to the DC Madam about a book of her life....

[Nbadan]

Then why didn't Moldea ever write the book? He had access to Palfrey's client phone records long before they were released on the internet and still no book.....but he sure collected a lot of money from Larry Flynt in the process...


Sen. David Vitter, who acknowledged having contacted a Washington escort service, made the admission after being called by Hustler magazine, whose investigative reporter says the sex magazine is targeting "moral hypocrites."

Less than three hours after the inquiry, the Louisiana Republican sent the Associated Press a statement Monday evening confirming that he had been in contact with Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the indicted escort-service owner dubbed the D.C. Madam. Washington reporter Dan Moldea, who is working with Hustler owner Larry Flynt, is collaborating with Palfrey on a book proposal and said yesterday that he found Vitter's number in her phone records late last week.

"When you go through this list, there are a lot of just normal men who were patronizing this escort service," said Moldea, who specializes in covering organized crime. "I can assure you, we have no intention of hurting these people, no intention of interfering with their lives. This is about hypocrisy."

Moldea cited Vitter's conservative record on family issues. Asked if he and Flynt would expose sexual misconduct by a politician without such a record, Moldea said: "If someone hasn't been shooting off his mouth, we'll throw him back in the river."

A news release from Hustler yesterday said that Vitter, 46, "has built his reputation on family-values platforms such as marriage protection and abstinence-only programs," and that the magazine is continuing its investigation into improprieties by high-ranking officials. Vitter's spokesman did not return calls yesterday.

This is the second time that Flynt, working with Moldea, has exposed the private conduct of prominent officials. In 1998, on the eve of the impeachment of President Clinton, the publisher said he had evidence of several extramarital affairs involving Bob Livingston, a Louisiana congressman who was on the verge of succeeding Newt Gingrich as House speaker. Livingston soon resigned his seat, and Flynt, who had offered a million-dollar reward for such information, never released the details. Vitter then won Livingston's House seat.

ABC News -- which first reported the Hustler connection on its Web site yesterday -- had previously worked with Palfrey in examining her phone records. But in May, the network identified only one client, former deputy secretary of state Randall Tobias, who resigned the day after ABC contacted his office. ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said that correspondent Brian Ross had about 80 percent of Palfrey's phone records from 2002 through 2006, and that Vitter's number did not appear because he apparently was in contact with the service earlier.

"Not in a million years" would ABC hold back such information about a senator, Schneider said.

Just after 8 p.m. Monday, an unsolicited e-mail from Vitter popped up in the AP's New Orleans bureau, in which the senator apologized for "a very serious sin in my past" and said that several years earlier he had sought and received "forgiveness from God and my wife."

Matt Yancey, the wire service's congressional editor, said the AP spent the next two hours "trying to get someone on his Senate staff to confirm that this was actually coming from him."

Moldea said he got access to Palfrey's phone records -- more than 150,000 numbers between 1993 and last year -- after the judge in her case lifted a restraining order on their release last week. The phone records have now been posted online, where news organizations can attempt to identify other prominent clients of Palfrey, who is contesting federal racketeering charges of running a prostitution ring.

Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/07/10/AR2007071001994.html)

Common....a sleazy reporter working for Flynt (of all people) investigating hypocrisy in Washington comes across a goldmine list of names and they never get thoroughly investigated...what are the chances?

[ChumpDumper]

Did anyone write a book? Everyone has access to those records.

Why don't you write one?

[ChumpDumper]

:lol Palfrey talks positively about Flynt and Moldea's investigation on the Alex Jones show.

Thanks for the link!

Yeah, and she also gave her records to ABC News....

[smeagol]

dan is very credible . . .

[Whisky Dog]

Wait... American politicians are corrupt hypocrites? It's possible that they will actually commit murder to save their own asses? You don't say...

[Don Quixote]

Let the conspiracy theories begin ...

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, and she also gave her records to ABC News....Yeah, and she also gave her records to....


....everybody with a computer and the inclination to download them....

She didn't know who her clients were. She wasn't Dolly Parton in Best Little Whorehouse in DC -- she was an absentee pimp with a documented history of threatening to kill herself.

The phone records are still up there BTW -- maybe you should to put your math degree to work and blow this conspiracy wide open just like you have 7WTC.

[ChumpDumper]

And good news Dan -- Larry Flynt agrees with you!

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,353876,00.html

And he met Palfrey and spoke with her several times.

I guess that makes both you and her sleazy.

[Nbadan]

Dick Cheney, John McCain, Fred Thompson, Rudy Guiliani were all clients of the DC madam...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- The building manager of a Central Florida condo said he spent time talking to Deborah Jean Palfrey on Monday as she packed to go to her mother's house and she did not seem suicidal ...

Palfrey’s building manager said she often told him she believed she was being followed and he thinks there may have been some former clients of her escort service who wanted her dead.

"She insinuated that there is a contract out for her and I fully believe they succeeded," her building manager said.

Palfrey's Lexus is still parked in the Park Lake garage and the staff said on Monday, she asked about making sure her condo fees would continue to be paid during what Palfrey anticipated would be six years in prison ...

[ChumpDumper]

So Wayne Madsen's source must have been Larry Flynt....

[ChumpDumper]

BTW, Flynt said there were more Democrats on the list than Republicans.

[Nolazach]

Let the conspiracy theories begin ...

David Vitter did it, I can't stand him.

He was our Rep, won on a big "family values' platform and then goes off and screws all kinds of hookers.

Now he is a Senator, he could have it done. Heck I may be a goner now that I exposed the truth.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah Vitter was completely ruined by this scandal.

Randall Tobias too.

They'll never keep or get good jobs again....

[Don Quixote]

I agree. Vitter should have resigned. I voted for him, and he's a nice enough guy and would probably have made a good Senator, but, to me, character is very important in someone who holds elected office.

In fact, I hold Republicans to a higher standard than Democrats. A Democrat having an affair -- shoot, that's a resume enhancer!

[ChumpDumper]

Suicide notes to her mother and sister:

http://a.abcnews.go.com/images/Blotter/dcmadam_sister_note_080505.pdf

Now dan can tell us they are obvious forgeries because ABC posted them.

[whottt]

I'm still not sold...forget about Dan's partisan spinning and whoring...

Watching that interview with that woman I don't get the impression she is the type for suicide, regardless of whether or not she said she'd do it before she went back to jail. I read that she hung herself...and that's not typically the way most women choose to commit suicide.

Finally...that list of hers would have ruined political careers and families...put it this way, even if she did commit suicide...there are some people thrilled over that. And I guarantee you the thoughts about and wishes for her death were plentiful by the DC elite.


I definitely hope this leads to an extensive investigation and not an automatic conclusion that it was suicide. I just don't see it here...this is a classic setting for a politically motivated murder.


Not convinced this woman commited suicide, at all, and I hope our criminal justice system isn't either.


I agree that it's not a Republican Democrat thing though...it's a politician thing.

[Nbadan]

forget about Dan's partisan spinning and whoring...

What Partisan spinning? Chumpy swallowing another M$M load is not partisan spinning...

[ChumpDumper]

It's funny because Palfrey didn't even take the chance to put guys like Vitter and Tobias on the stand. Was the trial not the time for the kind of grandstanding she was promising?

And she didn't release any other names -- hell, Flynt didn't even release any other names, and he and Moldea were the ones who found and outed Vitter. It was pretty obvious she didn't actually know who her clients were before releasing the phone records, and she didn't have the resources to find out herself.

And finally, someone has to tell me how the "murderers" pulled this job off in broad daylight in a trailer park full or retirees who live only a few feet from one another with no fences separating them.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

i heard that someone else committed suicide connected to this madam.

[ChumpDumper]

i heard that someone else committed suicide connected to this madam.True. Someone who used to work for her then went into business for herself hanged herself before facing trial on local prostitution charges.

[ChumpDumper]

So what has the alternative investigation turned up?
