TARPON SPRINGS, Fla. (May 1) - A woman police believe to be convicted Washington escort service operator Deborah Jeane Palfrey committed suicide, officials said Thursday.

Police said the body was found in a shed near Palfrey’s mother’s home Thursday morning. There was a suicide note, but police did not disclose its contents or how she killed herself.

And you may never know. Expect everything about this “suicide” to be hidden from public view like most of the names of the powerful who used her escort service:

Her trial concluded without revealing many new details about the service or its clients. Vitter was among possible witnesses, but did not take the stand.

By design of course. We know of Senator David Vitter, Harlan Ullman (Mr. “Shock and Awe”) and Randall Tobias. Can you image the others that were on the client list? Of course, the rich and powerful look out for themselves and the public be damned so we’ll never know.

This is just too convenient a ’suicide.” Palfrey was abandoned and betrayed by powerful men she naively believed would protect her. Too late she found out she was ever expendable. And, facing the clank of prison bars, she had nothing to lose by authoring a tell all from prison. So she, I believe, was silenced forever.

And she wasn’t the only one:

One of the escort service employees was former University of Maryland, Baltimore County, professor Brandy Britton, who was arrested on prostitution charges in 2006. She committed suicide in January before she was scheduled to go to trial.

Doesn’t this all seem just a little too convenient?

Bet the rest of the women will keep their mouths shut now if they know what’s good for them.

There are many ways of assassinating people and making it look like a suicide. The pros know how to do it and our government’s security services are full of them.

Some years back in Cleveland a big call girl ring was broken up too after too many loose ends started to appear. Cleveland Police at that time seized the services’ “black book” which was kept in the strictest of confidence and, throughout all the court proceedings, never ever saw the light of day.

There’s one law for you and a totally different law for the people who count. The everyday mopes nailed on such shows as “Cops” for being johns aren’t important enough to be shielded from public shame.
