DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey, who was found hanged today in what authorities claim was a "suicide," not only asserted that she would never commit suicide, but also thought the alleged suicide of one of her former call girls was possibly murder.
Brandy Britton was an employee of Palfrey before the D.C. Madam's prostitution ring was busted. She was found hanged after allegedly committing suicide in January 2007 days before she was set to go to trial.
Asked what the circumstances were that made people question the alleged "suicide" of her former call girl, Palfrey responded, "People say that she was a very upbeat person, a very positive person that she was going into court, she was ready to fight them, that she absolutely was not going to give in and all of a sudden a few days before she was to go to trial she committed suicide and her family members and friends say this was extremely abnormal."
"She was not in a frame of mind to commit suicide, you know perhaps she knew something, there's been a lot of speculation about that," said Palfrey, "She had very little to lose, she wasn't going to go to jail, she'd been charged on a prostitution case," added Palfrey, noting that individuals involved in the call girl scandal possibly thought Britton was about to name names.
According to a Post Chronicle report, Palfrey and Britton's alleged "suicides" bear similar hallmarks.
