Ya know, you might be right. I hadn’t thought of it that way, but I had wondered why she might give up that easily. Just seems like she could have come up with other options.

I’m sure you can program a computer to exactly copy a persons handwriting by now, I know word perfect had that technology 15 years ago.
This bitch was done by Cheney & Co.

This sounds like the work of the Dark One - does anyone know where Cheney was when this went down.

According to one of these comments this woman both stabbed herself and hung herself? Maybe the ones asking about murder, should be the police?
The comment about our criminal presidency and Presidential serial killer not being punished, but the madam being locked away, that is also a good question. How long ago did St. Nicolas pay the marrriage money to keep two young women from being prostitutes? How many women choose to be prostitutes even today? How many women are forced or manipulated into protitution?
Is the trading of sexual favors, in all instances prostitution, or do we sometimes call it marriage.
Should facilitating the meeting of prostitutes with Johns without cluttering up the streets with “hoes” be a crime? Since Republican’s worship money more than God, should they be passing laws to lock up women who use their raw material to make big money?
Would woman have to sell themselves if men weren’t so frequently mean and irresponsible? Isn’t all labor beyond that given to ones own patch of land, extorted by one means or another? Is labor so much different from prostitution?
One may well ask?

Well,
I have no idea what kind of person Debra Palfry was, but this is still sad. And, I believe it was her own well considered choice. Live by the sword, die by the sword sort of thing.
I think I can understand her mentality after reading that she had already served an 18 month prison term, and that she had vowed in her trial (or after) that she wouldn’t do any more prison time. She obviously knew herself well enough to know what that would do to her, and the burden it would create for her family.
Still, this just points out the horrific imbalance in the moral fabric of a system that would send her back to prison for her ‘crimes’ while allowing the worst of the worst to rule the country and the world, violate all laws, and bring death and destruction to millions. For them…there is no accounting. The impunity of the Unitary Exectutive.

I say, that there were two suicide notes makes this a decidedly easy case to solve.
Apparently, there were at least two prominent political ‘Johns’, clients of Deborah ‘escorts’, who were afraid her arrest, and subsequent browbeating during plea deals, would cause her to ‘spill the beans’, and reveal their august identities.
So each hired an assassin to dispatch her, promptly, before she could blab.
Assassin #1 caught her sleeping in bed and stabbed her, killing her. And left her ‘suicide note’ on the night table.
Assassin # 2, sneaked in, saw her ‘sleeping’ form, put a noose around her neck, dragged her into the dining room, and hanged her from the chandelier. And left her ‘suicide’ note (#2) on the dining table.
This not only explains the quandary the police have been in about how a suicide could both stab and hang herself, and why the two notes, but there’s more!
The folks who hired the assassins were Democrats!
(You’d never find a republican fooling around with a female escort (unless they came with an instruction sheet)).
