the one convicted of running a high-end prostitution ring in
Washington has been found dead of an apparent suicide in a Florida
Gulf Coast town.
Tarpon Springs police say a body they believed to be 52-year-old
Deborah Jeane Palfrey was found in a shed near her mother's mobile
home Thursday morning. She left a suicide note, but police did not
disclose its contents.
Palfrey was convicted April 15th by a federal jury of running a
prostitution service that catered to members of Washington's
political elite, including Senator 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.
