July 17, 2025: Here's my original post concerning the mysterious death of "DC Madam" Deborah Jeane Palfrey with a few edits and code improvements for the sake of clarity; a previously included news link is no longer available so I deleted it, and related horoscopes are added below for the curious reader:
A headline back then read, Alleged Call Girl Professor Hanged Self Jan 30, 2007:
A former university professor accused of working as a call girl hanged herself over the weekend, police said Monday. Brandy Britton was found dead at her home Saturday by a family member. Britton, who was a sociology and anthropology professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was charged a year ago with four counts of prostitution and was scheduled to go on trial next Monday.
Police: 'DC Madam' Palfrey Hanged Self in FL May 1, 2008:
Deborah Jeane Palfrey, convicted last month of running a high-end prostitution service in Washington DC, hanged herself in a shed outside her mother's mobile home in Florida today, officials said. Authorities were called today to the Sun Valley Estates Mobile Home Park in Tarpon Springs, Fla., by Blanche Palfrey, who found her daughter's body hanging by a nylon rope shortly before 11 a.m., Tarpon Springs police Capt. Jeffrey P. Young said at a news conference. He said Deborah Palfrey left at least two suicide notes, but he declined to discuss their contents.
Well, I remember this case and that Deborah Jeane had reportedly said to journalist Dan Moldea, with whom she was working on a book that, "I am not going back to prison. I will commit suicide first."
Meanwhile, her Wikipedia page contains a variety of details so if you're curious see Deborah Jeane Palfrey.
Now here's an excerpt from one of my 2007 posts edited for clarity:
Earthwalk Astrology's (Robert) Blaschke had spoken by phone with the DC Madam and she gave him her birth data! The federal charges against her may be dismissed or reduced--her Secondary Progressed Moon was trining natal Jupiter at the time of her indictment, March 1 (edit: apparently this did not happen):
Deborah Jeane Palfrey Mar 18, 1956 North Charleroi, PA 16:55:00 GMT
And here's her natal Sun Pisces-Moon Gemini personality blend's Images for Integration:
"A child grips his magic red balloon as it lifts him into the sky and over the sea onto an island of eternal beauty...A schoolboy dreams of heroic deeds during a class on the romantic poets" (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzy Harvey #ad).
UPDATE July 17, 2025:
Now here's a speculativley timed "found dead" horoscope for Deborah Jeane Palfrey set for "shortly before 11:00 am"; as you see, her natal Mars is setting at the angular Descendant and her natal Sun (vitality) is visible at Midheaven:
May Deborah Jeane R.I.P.
