She was a young actress and model who didn’t act or model.  She lived on the wrong side of town in an apartment she was about to be evicted from, because she couldn’t pay the rent.  Then she met a man thirty-six years older than her, whom she thought would fulfill all her dreams and help her live a stable life.  

Fast forward a few years, and the woman was broke and at her breaking point.  She decided to blackmail her lover, telling him she was going to sell evidence of their affair if he didn’t pay up.  It wasn’t long afterwards that she ended up dead.

So close the curtains, my spooky friends.  You are going to hear the tale about a woman who some say knew too little, and others say she knew way too much.
