Default ‘D.C. Madam’ commits suicide

The woman convicted of running a high-end Washington prostitution ring that snagged a senator killed herself Thursday, police said, weeks after she was convicted on charges she vowed not to go to prison for. The body of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, 52, was found in a shed near her mother's manufactured home about 20 miles northwest of Tampa. Police said she left at least two suicide notes and other writings to her family in a notebook, but they did not disclose their contents. The mother found Palfrey, who had apparently hanged herself with nylon rope from the shed's ceiling. 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 *** acts for money, they did so without her knowledge. She was convicted of money laundering, using the mail for illegal purposes and racketeering.

I was listening to a radio station this morning on my way into work and they we're discussing/speculating that this may not be a suicide and how the DC Madam had once mentioned that if she ever came up missing or dead that the authorities should expect foulplay because she would never run off or commit suicide. I'm not really familiar with this whole story on the DC Madam. I may have seen a piece of it on the news once but still really know nothing of it. So what are you thoughts suicide or murder?????
