TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Police in Florida have closed theirinvestigation of the DC Madam's suicide.
A Tarpon Springs police report confirms that Deborah Jeane
Palfrey hanged herself with a nylon rope to avoid prison time for
running a prostitution ring catering to members of the Washington
establishment.
A lawyer who represented Palfrey at her trial says the suicide
has prompted what he calls an unfortunate obsession among some
people with a conspiracy theory. Online speculation has suggested
someone killed Palfrey to keep her from identifying more prominent
clients of the Washington-based escort service.
Two suicide notes in Palfrey's handwriting were found next to
her bed. In them, Palfrey apologizes to her mother and sister,
saying she couldn't bear going to prison and suicide was her only
"exit strategy."
