Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52, is believed to have killed herself Thursday morning in a trailer owned by her mother in Tarpon Springs, Fla.

Still developing....

[ikka]

Arkancide or something like it.

[unixfox]

At least this is what the Germans would have us believe.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Suicide, my Aunt Fanny. More like “Arkanside.”

[Gorzaloon]

Palfrey was found guilty on April 15 by a D.C. jury of racketeering and money laundering related to her operating a house of prostitution. Palfrey had threatened to reveal the names of her clients — many believed to be high-profile political and business figures — if prosecutors went forward with their case.

Oh, SURE it was suicide.

[MistrX]

Arkancide?

[stevio]

Riiiight.

Arkancide.

[Luke21]

She didn’t have a purple dress.

[txflake]

Then her customer list WILL be released... doesn’t ABC have the rights to it or is that another madam...

[bmwcyle]

I guess the truth died with her. I wonder where the Black Book is?

[norton]

Didn’t know there was a Fort Marcy Trailer Park in Tarpon Springs Florida.

[PeteB570]

That’s what I was thinking - “Did she know and Clintons?”

[theDentist]

I wonder if she was smart enough to provide copies to a variety of lawyers to be released to the press in event of her death.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Suicide, my ass....

She wouldn’t have been afraid of going to jail — no, no, no!

This woman started her business in January 1993 — just as the newcomers from Arkansas and all of their cronies were setting up office in Washington, D.C.

Hmmm....

(May she Rest In Peace)

[petro45acp]

...mmmmmmmmmmmmm Tarpon Springs! “GooGrikFood!” And SPONGES!

arkancide....nice!

[Revolting cat!]

Arkancide in Floriduh! Church Ladies Celebrate! Sex is Sinful!

[RDTF]

holy crap

[pissant]

Suicide my arse.

[bmwcyle]

Usually the clean up is complete.

[Hatteras]

You’d better put some ice on that, Deborah Jeanne...

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

Where’s Craig Livingstone these days? His whereabouts in the past 12-16 hours?

[Parley Baer]

Interesting after seeing the headline we came to the conclusion of Arkancide.

[steveo]

I heard this on the radio earlier and thought just like everyone else here did. Aren’t we a bunch!

[informavoracious]

It was Mobile Home-icide.

[meandog]

Took an overdose of SlickWillie for bimbo eruptions?

[messierhunter]

Showing my young age and sheltered life, I had to look up the word “arkancide.” That’s some scary stuff, I really had no idea. I had heard rumors of this in high school, but I thought it was just more crackpot conspiracy garbage. If only I had known about FR back then...

[edcoil]

Anyone seen Doug from Upland?

[kingattax]

[Vigilanteman]

No way is this suicide. There was an article about the lady in our local fishwrap when the case first broke. She is originally from Pennsylvania. Her business was highly successful and she was well off. She had a virtual guarantee of getting off with a slap on the wrist just to keep her quiet.

Prostitution in D.C. is no big deal at all-- sort of like a traffic citation for jaywalking in Minneapolis.

[allmendream]

Somehow I knew before looking that “Arkancide” would be mentioned and I wondered how many posts it would take.

FR rarely disappoints! Love you guys (and gals)!!!

Keepin it real my homie FRiends!

[theDentist]

Anyone seen Doug from Upland?

Why would you suspect Doug??? :-)

[NeoCaveman]

Somebody whacked her

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, FR has been compared to a Twelve-Step Program that many Ex-Liberals use, LOL!

There’s still time to turn your life around. ;)

[edcoil]

I don’t, just looking for him. Did a user search and nothing came up.

[murron]

Is she the one who was associated with David Vitter?

[Rebelbase]

From a year old Bloomberg article:

"Montgomery Blair Sibley, Palfrey's attorney in a civil case seeking the return of assets seized by authorities, said Palfrey is revealing clients to bolster her criminal defense by testifying they used her service for fantasy and role playing, not sex. ABC News has Palfrey's phone lists."

[JimSEA]

She might have used the tried and trusted Thai method of suicide, two bullets to the back of the head??

[txflake]

Think I saw him a few days ago on an OC thread.

[Revolting cat!]

When you talk about a D.C. madam, it's probably more interesting to know whose name is not in her Black Book, like it is more interesting (and shocking) to know what Hollywood actor is not gay!

[Cementjungle]

Usually the headlines are “so and so found dead... cause of death to be determined”. Interesting how the lead in this one goes straight to the suicide conclusion.

[AppyPappy]

“Palfrey was found guilty on April 15 by a D.C. jury of racketeering and money laundering related to her operating a house of prostitution. Palfrey had threatened to reveal the names of her clients — many believed to be high-profile political and business figures — if prosecutors went forward with their case.”

The fact that she didn’t go public leads me to believe she didn’t have anything.

[messierhunter]

Ex-liberal? I don’t see a need for insults ;). I hated clinton, make no mistake, I was just not exposed to the full range of his crimes. It’s hard to find the truth when all you have to go on is the highly-filtered liberal media. I used to watch Rush’s TV show growing up, but I don’t think he touched on this.

[Dante3]

I hope Dr. Perper who bungled horrible the Anna Nicole Smith autopsy is not involved. Although ANS’s autopsy was obviously bungled and possibly a coverup, Dr. Perper still has his job.

[Rudder]

What a shame. She did so much good for many men.

[Colofornian]

Gee, I wonder what FOSTERed this ‘cide?

[Brilliant]

more grist for Gretta.

[AprilfromTexas]

“Anyone seen Doug from Upland?”

I do worry about Doug where this is concerned and keep him in my prayers.

[theDentist]

Geez, I completely forgot about Gretta and the other one (Nancy Grace???).
