(CNN) -- A woman who police believe to be Deborah Jeane Palfrey,
known as the "D.C. Madam," was found dead in Florida Thursday,
according to Tarpon Springs police.

The body has not been positively identified.

"Detectives are investigating an apparent suicide of a (white female)
that appears to be in her early 50s," Tarpon Springs police said in a
news release.

Suicide notes were found near the body in a small storage shed next to
a mobile home, police said.

Palfrey, 52, was reportedly staying at the home of her mother, who
owns the property where the body was found, police said.

The Pinellas County Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause
of death, police said.

The county sheriff's office and the FBI are participating in the investigation.

Palfrey was convicted last month in connection with a high-end
prostitution ring catering to Washington's elite.

She was found guilty of money laundering, racketeering and mail fraud.
She was awaiting sentencing with a potential of 50 years in jail.

At least one lawmaker, Louisiana Sen. David Vitter, a Republican,
turned up in the phone records of her business, Pamela Martin &
Associates.

State Department official Randall Tobias resigned in May 2007 after
confirming he patronized Palfrey's business.

She argued it was a legitimate, legal escort service.

DC Madam Predicted She Would Be Suicided
"Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement and more than likely murder
disguised in the form of just another jailhouse accident or suicide
would await me," Palfrey wrote

DC Madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey predicted she would be "suicided" on
several occasions both recently and as far back as 17 years ago -
comments that now appear ominous in light of the announcement that the
former head of a Washington escort service allegedly killed herself
today.

"If taken into custody, my physical safety and most probably my very
life would be jeopardized," she wrote in August 1991 following an
attempt to bring her to trial, "Rape, beating, maiming, disfigurement
and more than likely murder disguised in the form of just another
jailhouse accident or suicide would await me," said Palfrey in a
handwritten letter to the judge accusing the San Diego police vice
squad of having a vendetta against her.

During several recent appearances on The Alex Jones Show, Palfrey also
said that she was at risk of being killed and that authorities would
make it look like suicide. She made it clear that she was not suicidal
and if she was found dead it would be murder.

Palfrey had threatened to release the names of well-known clients of
her upscale call girl ring in the nation's capitol, and had indicated
that Dick Cheney may be one of them.

"No I'm not planning to commit suicide," Palfrey told The Alex Jones
Show on her last appearance, "I'm planning on going into court and
defending myself vigorously and exposing the government," she said.

Anybody who was following this story knew what was comming...The Wayne Madsen Report gave it a lot of coverage...so did some major networks until names like 'Cheney' were mentioned...I don't think you can access the Wayne Madsen archives anymore without a subscription, but he is a very good source for anything involving the 'District of Criminals' (Washington DC)...the sad thing, other than this young woman losing her life, is the response I have seen on some Forums i.e. 'she was just a whore' etc...yeah...I believe that Palfrey was born in central Pennsylvania...God rest her soul, whatever her sins were.
