Her former building manager
doesn't think so:
Palfrey’s building manager said she often told him she believed she was being followed and he thinks there may have been some former clients of her escort service who wanted her dead.
"She insinuated that there is a contract out for her and I fully believe they succeeded," her building manager said.
"She had one white paper file box that she told me had some important paper with her and then she just kind of raised her eyebrows like you're supposed to think oh yeah, that's all the information that she had on her business in Washington," her building manager said.
In her conversations with me last year, she hinted that she knew more than she could say, because her legal defense was predicated on the pretense that her escort service did not offer prostitution. So where is that "white paper file box"?

I was wondering when you'd get back to this, Joe. It doesn't leave one with a good feeling.
women don't like using a rope to hang themselves, I think she was "suicided" and the rope is a warning to others who might talk.
she was killed to shut herself up.
This makes me so mad. Surely Americans an demand to know what happened here.
Im disgusted. Absolutely disgusted, by what appears to be total apathy on the part of your mainstream media.
What has the world come to?

If I may be so bold Harry, disgust seems to be the wrong word. It is apparent to me that MSM has been bought up and controlled by the same bunch that offed Ms. Palfrey. So you are looking at the propaganda arm of the police state, plain & simple.
To me, disgust is one specific type of disapproval, which implies also a lack of means to improve or fix this poor behavior; so throw up your hands in disgust. Retch if it suits your mood.
Never let an implied claim of ignorance or simple oversight fool you. We're looking at some serious sheeat here, a more-than-criminal enterprise which relies on innocent ignorance, systematically injected into the populace, to succeed.
So far they have been doing very well at this.
This comment's purpose is just to point out once again that if you (we) accept the status quo you are surrendering to the enemy.
As it happens, the NYT linked to this very blog post (for a brief time, at least) this morning, under the "Headlines Around the Web" banner. And Fox, of all outlets, was treating the murder angle with some respect.
On a personal level, the Palfrey story depressed me for reasons you may not understand. After she lost her trial, I kept telling myself to call her up and offer some words of solace. But I never did. What do you say to someone facing a prison sentence?
That was pure cowardice on my part.
Joseph,

"Yesterday" by by W.S. Merwin
I have a video of the author reading it - from Moyers Digital Archive 16,165kB

Oh, Joe. You can't judge yourself too harshly for that one. What would you have said? And, of course, there is the question of how safe it is to contact a person in her circumstances. I'm not saying that fear of "them" should keep us from helping people in need, but...maybe it's better you didn't reach out at that time.
Merwin's live reading is clickable at the Moyers site. He reads like every other tiresome poet, the pity, cos he's extraordinary; but my fave Merwin is his prose poem, "Unchopping a Tree":

Moyers doesn't list/include the great Carolyn Forché (his 1990s series featured her, though). Anyone who doesn't know her "The Colonel" is culturally deprived.
Here's one of her readings of it (not her best, but great enough):

Ah, AitchD. Let us bond in our pity for those who haven't read Carolyn Forché (or any of the important post-modern poets). Culturally deprived, indeed.
Hugs.
