1. "Suicided." I believe that's the term we're looking for.

5. Agreed, Suicided, self murdered,
I just talked to the guys do the gutter work and told them of her death.
They said the govt. killed her without me suggesting it. Also with two other business related
phone calls that were not related the news. Both of those people said she was murdered without
me suggesting it

6. Seen it & I don't buy it and neither do a lot of people.

But it will be pushed as the 'official' spin as taking something she said 17 years ago.

13. Contemplating suicide & actually doing it are two very different things...
I remember reading somewhere that the majority of people who *talk* about killing themselves rarely ever do it & the ones who actually do it rarely, if ever, gave indications that they were suicidal. Most of the ones that talk about it are crying out for help seeking the attention of intervention...

I could be remembering wrong and I'm sure someone will straighten me out if I am...

3. Why would she do it at her mother's house
Edited on Thu May-01-08 04:55 PM by Annces
seems wrong. Also the story said she did not want to go back to prison, she would rather die first, she had been there before (but I think that could be easily a made up story).

10. Who knows?
Someone apparently thought it was easier to kill her than to let her speak, though.

I must not have much of an imagination. I can't think of anything more disturbing than the diapers and the public sex geeks among the Greedy Old Perverts, and that was already released.

11. Suspicious. Apparently she was working on a book.
Hope she gave a copy of the manuscript to someone else "just in case."

12. I don't count suicide completely out
but Palfrey struck me as a real fighter. She was ready to reveal names and take this gang down.

I just hope those names are in an envelope somewhere and will come to light in the future.
