Almost exactly one year ago I wrote an article about the arrest of the D.C. Madam and made the following prediction which came true yesterday: “I predict that the D.C. Madam will die of mysterious causes some time this year and the rest of the list will disappear, if she doesn’t enter the witness protection program very soon.” Read the rest of that post here.

Sadly, no one won the 80GB Video iPod I offered as the prize to the person that predicted the exact date and yes, my prediction did state that the death would occur in 2007, but apparently someone was more patient than I expected.

Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the D.C. Madam, was found dead yesterday in a shed near her mother’s house in Tarpon Springs, FL. Police believe she hanged herself although I’m pretty sure she had some help.

At the time of her arrest Ms. Palfrey threatened to release a book listing the identities of her customers, some of whom were apparently quite important. Even Dick Cheney’s name was rumored to be on the list. Ultimately, only three names from the list were made public. Randall Tobias, a deputy secretary of state, who resigned immediately; Harlan Ullman, a military analyst that helped design the “shock and awe” strategy used in Iraq: and Senator David Vitter from Louisiana who has so far kept his job although his chances for re-election seem dubious.
